2012 Subaru Impreza: The Subaru Impreza has long been high on the list of alternatives. But with the new 2012, it leaps to the top. Styled like a small hatch, but with the interior room and comfort of a car a full size class larger. Built solidly, with good materials...you get the sense that it'll be a long time before you hear a squeak or a rattle.
Starting price is $19,595 (non-Premium sedans can be had in the 17s, but it's the Premium 5-door we drove and are talking about here)...with the 148 horsepower 2.0 liter Subaru boxer engine, 16 inch wheels, cruise control, tilt/telescopic steering column, power locks, windows and mirrors, multi-function trip computer, 6-speaker audio system, air conditioning and of course, all wheel drive (it's a Subaru).
