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 |

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 |
