Reviews SummaryThe sixth-generation 2024 Subaru Impreza, like the related Subaru Crosstrek crossover, has been reworked to improve upon its already strong credentials as an affordable all-wheel-drive economy compact car. This time around, the more powerful RS trim has been revived, adding some much-needed driver excitement. Further bolstered with a comfortable ride and smart features, the new Impreza deserves your consideration. | |
Reviews SummaryThe Mini Cooper is redesigned for 2025 with a host of alterations throughout. It’s a little bigger inside and out, while sporting all-new infotainment tech and quirky interior design to help maintain the badge’s fun personality. It still weighs less than 1,400 kilograms (3,000 pounds), too, and when combined with a potent turbocharged four-cylinder in the Cooper S, that makes for some truly hilarious fun-to-drive attitude. Verdict: Although substantially larger than the original BMW Mini that reached North American shores in 2002, and no longer offering a manual transmission as standard, the new Mini Cooper continues to be a stylish and fun-to-drive way of getting around. And it will even return solid overall fuel economy in the process. | |
