| 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 Jetta SportWagen isn't exactly like its sedan counterpart--it's noticeably smaller but nicer inside. | ||
