Description
A good set of snow tires and the Impreza hatchback can take your buddies and their stuff pretty much anywhere. The all-wheel-drive system you get depends on whether you pick the manual transmission or the continuously variable unit. Light and nimble with plenty of standard equipment and all-wheel-drive for an opening price of less that 20 grand, including destination charges? It’s almost a no-brainer.
