    Road Test

    Over the last several years, we’ve seen the demise of many small-car choices. Chevrolet canceled the Cruze; Dodge dashed the Dart; Ford flamed out the Focus; and Volkswagen shanked the Golf. So, we celebrated the arrival of the redesigned Impreza, and gave it a thumbs-up for being such a nice-driving car that’s light on the wallet. However, the base engine needs a serious infusion of horsepower since it can barely get out of its own way.
