The 2012 Subaru Impreza's all-wheel-drive system means an end to blaming snow for hindering a commute - unless the commute is to a ski hill.
It's full-time all-wheel-drive uses a bit more fuel than a part-time system but people who have owned a Subie before are willing to pay the difference.
The 2.0-litre four is smaller than last year but Subaru says performance has not been affected. Fuel economy has improved over last year as well.
The feel of the fourth-generation Impreza's CVT transmission is now more natural and the new steering-wheel paddle shifters add a sporty note.
