Reviews Summary

Few small cars venture into the niche dominated by the Subaru Impreza. Available as a sedan or hatchback wagon, the Impreza features standard all-wheel drive and a unique boxer-engine layout.

The Impreza has been completely redesigned for 2008 with a new look and new interior. Its familiar drivetrain remains intact but made more modern.

Reviews Summary

The Lancer has been a part of the Mitsubishi lineup for quite some time, and the car was overhauled for the 2007 model year. Now in its ninth generation, Mitsubishi is marketing the car as a compact sport sedan instead of the economy car that we were all thinking. It’s a handsome car with sporting intentions in all trims, but how does it stand up against more established and well-known competitors?
