Car Profiles - Subaru Impreza

SUBARU IMPREZA

An athletic choice in which it offers a sporty handling and the only one to be offered with all wheel drive. The current Impreza may not have a hatchback or a stick shift (discontinued just last year), it is one of the top picks out there. CVT tranny is decent enough, but engine noise can be tiring.

The Good: Standard AWD
The Bad: Tiring engine note

Price Range: P1,128,000-P1,298,000
