9. Subaru Impreza WRX
Under the hood of the WRX is a flat-four engine with 2.5-liters of displacement and a turbocharger. And that combination delivers 305 HP to all four wheels via the six-speed manual. It’s a true driver’s car with a proper manual gearbox, great road holding and enough power to make this car fly.
The performance numbers are respectable with 5.1 seconds from 0 to 60 mph and 160 mph top speeds. Since this is a four-door car, it is also quite practical since it can seat five people and it has a decent trunk, too.
