Great car with a dynamic 1.5 engine and a 7-speed automatic; a downside is the electronics, which often shut off—terrible when reversing!!! It could also have a bigger tank because it averages 7 liters and at most 700 km.

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.
