TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2018 Chevy Cruze offers lots of compelling reasons to select it, but we’d like to see more safety tech on its standard equipment roster.

The 2018 Subaru Impreza offers all-wheel drive for all of us in a comfortable, refined, tech-savvy package.

TCC Likes

Versatile sedan and hatchback options
Comfy interior with lots of standard tech
Optional turbodiesel is compelling

Standard all-wheel drive, without mpg penalty
Comfortable, quiet ride
Polished handling, especially in Sport trim

TCC Dislikes

Limited safety tech
Diesel is a pricey option
Automatic can be indecisive

Interior’s a little dull
Manual transmission’s low mpg rating
Could use more power
