2020 Subaru Impreza Premium

It handles confidently on wet or snowy roads, though the base engine feels a bit modest when you need to merge onto the highway. Inside, you get a clean, modern cabin with supportive seats, and the hatchback body offers a surprisingly roomy cargo area with the rear seats folded. The extra features like a larger touchscreen and standard heated seats set the Premium apart from the base 2.0i, while staying below the Sport and Limited trims. Its 2.0L I4 makes 152 horsepower and pairs with a automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive, which is enough for daily driving but you'll want to plan highway passes. A 5-speed manual is available on this trim if you prefer to shift gears yourself, though the automatic gets 31 mpg combined.
