The Subaru Impreza is a compact sedan or hatchback that stands as a very strong value, offering standard all-wheel drive in models that aren't priced much higher than most other front-wheel-drive models.
The Impreza is also the most fuel-efficient all-wheel-drive car available in America and offers confident handling in part because of that drivetrain. The Impreza is a Top Safety Pick by the IIHS.
