The newly redesigned Impreza, available in both sedan and hatchback versions, is a "good, sensible" car with a smooth ride and quick, nimble performance, according to Consumer Reports. Fuel economy is good, too, considering that it has full-time all-wheel-drive. The only downside is that it's a bit noisy, according to the magazine.
