The fifth generation Subaru Impreza is out. It boasts high-end tech and a boxer engine. It also comes with a continuously variable transmission, and all-wheel drive. All this makes the compact Impreza a fun, sporty ride.

The Impreza is a true mainstay of the Subaru brand and has continued its rich tradition for over a quarter of a century.
