The Impreza has been one that has been on our market for a long time from Subaru and has always offered us a vehicle that was affordable and fun to drive. With standard AWD it’s been hard to argue against the Impreza for years and why would you want to? For the late 2016 or early 2017 timeframe we will get a new Subaru Impreza to drive that will show off as a car that offers us more of what we want from a five door hatchback vehicle that has already given us so much to love.

Safety in an SUV
The need for safety on the road is one of the most important features of any vehicle. The fact that we can end up on a collision at any time because of the carelessness of another driver or a spot on the road that was slick or unsafe means we need to be aware of what safety features the vehicles we purchase have aboard and pay attention to IIHS scores.

The BMW 1M Coupe was one such car. With only 740 units sold in North America because this car came with a very high price tag but came in such fanfare that it had to go up in price after only three years as those who missed out the first time started buying them for more the second time around.
