Car Profiles - Subaru XV

SUBARU XV

We all know that the Impreza hatchback went to car heaven right? So, when the automotive gods granted a wish and was reincarnated as the XV, a raised Impreza hatch. A practical pick for those who hate the weight and height of a genuine one but need for something all in one.

The Good: AWD prowess in a manageable size
The Bad: Ride may be harsh for some
