  • Subaru Impreza (2006 - 2007)
    Rewarding to drive, especially on country roads. Solidly screwed together. Likely to prove reliable if it's like all previous Imprezas.
  • Subaru Impreza WRX (2006 - 2007)
    Same as before. Great acceleration, traction, handling, brakes and grip. Exhilarating yet forgiving. On of the fastest cars from A to B on a B road.
