Subaru Impreza WRX/STi

EPA MPG: 23 mpg

Road Test

The WRX delivers agile handling and a compliant ride. All-wheel drive is standard. But the interior is cramped and spartan. The drag and weight from its AWD take a toll on acceleration and fuel economy. The turbocharged WRX offers impressive performance for the price, but the suspension revisions have made handling less forgiving at the limits.
