Subaru's calling card has long been the sophisticated all-wheel-drive system that is standard in almost all its cars. The system puts power to wheels according to need and greatly helps the car maintain control on varying road surfaces. Drivers who live in locales where it snows love these cars for their surefootedness. The new engine and continuously-variable transmission (CVT) introduced for 2012 models carry over for 2013 Imprezas. The CVT improves fuel economy commendably, but makes acceleration feel a bit leisurely. WRX and STI models

"I love driving this car! It has a lot of unexpected zip for a 4 cyl vehicle, goes like a tank through the snow, and gets amazing gas mileage. The features are abundant and easy to use, the heated plush seats are such a comfort, and the interior space is larger than one might think. It's easy to see why this car is so highly rated."

"Before '13 impreza premium 5-door I have owned '88 IROC Z, '00 Civic Si, and '06 Chevy Cobalt. After driving the car in the first rain of teh season a few months ago i wondered why they even sold 2wd cars. Great handling in wet and slippery conditions. Handles great all the time, so far I love it. Sometimes when I brake I hear a weird vibrating or grinding noise from the back, anyone else get this?"
