Mike Schlee had this to say about the 2024 Subaru Impreza on AutoGuide.com: “Subaru played it safe with the redesign of the Impreza, but more importantly, played it right. The brand has addressed the largest complaints of the outgoing model by adding more power and better in-car technology, all while keeping everything we liked about the vehicle, and at an attractive price point. The 2024 Subaru Impreza RS is a solid choice for those who still appreciate the responsiveness, efficiency, and usefulness of a traditional compact hatchback.” 2024 Subaru Impreza RS Review: First Drive | AutoGuide.com

The steering is responsive, and light enough that it’s easy to get it around tight parking lots. It takes curves very well, and while some regenerative braking systems …

“Prius Prime sips fuel, has excellent ergonomics and build quality. It’s even good to look at. The biggest problem for anyone looking to buy one is probably going to be finding one. Toyota has spent the last two years unable to meet demand for its vehicles even as plants are running all-out to try and keep up. The 2023 Toyota Prius Prime is going to be the next hot ticket, and that could mean long lines. If you’re already a Toyota customer, though, you probably won’t mind the wait. Your current kitchen is working perfectly, you’re just ready for one …
