The Peugeot 308 brings a sleek, feline profile and an unexpectedly upscale cabin, with clever packaging and materials that feel a touch more premium than you might expect. It’s composed on the road, easy to live with for daily life, and a smart choice if you want a stylish hatch that still behaves when the road gets interesting.

Subaru Impreza

The Subaru Impreza feels like a trusty companion built for everyday adventures, shrugging off bad weather and awkward parking with quiet competence. It won't win any style contests, but its sensible cabin, grippy manners, and honest driving character make it a smart pick for buyers who prefer substance over flash.
