Like many models in Subaru’s lineup, the Impreza is the only car in its class to be equipped with standard all-wheel drive. And yet, its starting price and fuel consumption averages are similar to that of the competition. Redesigned last year, the Impreza is built on a new, more rigid architecture. Whether in sedan or five-door configuration, it features a 2.0L four-cylinder engine that generates 152 horsepower and 145 lb·ft of torque.
