Reviews SummaryFew compact cars venture into the niche dominated by the Subaru Impreza. Available in sedan or hatchback wagon body styles, the Impreza features standard all-wheel drive and a unique boxer-engine layout. The Impreza has been completely redesigned and is a new car for the 2008 model year, with a new look and new interior. Its familiar drivetrain remains intact but made more modern. | |
Reviews SummaryThe Lancer has been a part of the Mitsubishi lineup for quite some time, and the car returns overhauled for the 2008 model year after being briefly discontinued in Canada for 2007. Now in its ninth generation, the Lancer is positioned as a compact sport sedan rather than as the economy car that we were all thinking of. It’s a handsome new car with sporting intentions in all trims, but how does it stand up against more established and well-known competitors? | |
