Subaru Impreza Hatchback or Toyota Corolla Cross LE?

Trying to decide on my first car. Buying a new one. I graduate in a few weeks! Features most important to me:

-AWD
-Blind Spot Monitoring
-Foldable back seats (so a hatchback/SUV)
-At least 30 mpg combined city/highway

And my budget for everything including CA tax, registration, etc is $30k. Any recommendations?

I've owned a couple of Toyotas in the past, but I love my Subaru Crosstrek. Will you be doing any light off-roading? If so, you might consider something with a little more ground clearance, like the Crosstrek.

@TheFlippantSide I will be doing some off roading so yes! That's the car I decided to purchase. Thank you!
