| The Car Connection's Take | |||
| TCC Rating | |||
|
|
|
||
| TCC’s Bottom Line | |||
| Crisply restyled, with higher gas mileage, more space inside, a nicer interior, and all-wheel drive standard, the 2012 Subaru Impreza is a newly compelling compact alternative. | The 2012 Volkswagen Golf feels like a premium vehicle, and it's priced like one too, especially its fuel-efficient TDI edition. | ||
