2010 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
Subaru is known for building good quality cars for a good price. Their zero landfill plants make the WRX a more environmentally friendly decision than the Prius (even with only 25 MPG). And of course, their symmetrical AWD, which surprised even me. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review |

2007 | 4dr Sedan 173-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD |
Rally heritage is even evident in base model, no stick, no turbo, but still decent handling. Subaru has performed flawlessly through 4 winters with minus 40 degrees Celcius weather - very popular in Canada for obvious practical reasons. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review |

2011 | 2dr Coupe 312-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Camaro has a history for being a muscle car. Lots of power yet durable and fun to drive. Back in the day the muscle cars had a rep for having poor handling but with modern technology Chevy has taken car of that issue. see full Chevrolet Camaro review |

2017 | 2dr Coupe 455-horsepower 6.2L V8 8-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
There it is...the "Camaro Image." Years of Z-28's and IROC's have completely set the expectation (and not totally inaccurately, either) that Camaro's are driven by mullet-sporting, trucker-hat wearing, Lynyrd Skynyrd-rocking rednecks. Doesn't matter that Chevy now offers a machine that can out-corner a Ferrari 458 and out-lap...well, pretty much anything. It's still a redneck racecar. see full Chevrolet Camaro review |
