33: Subaru Impreza
Another car headed to the retirement home is the Subaru Impreza. The lowly little sedan has remained relatively unchanged for a long time now. Subaru markets this car to a certain clientele and that’s why the car sticks to its basic formula. The STI version of the Impreza is outdated in terms of design and quality but the performance is exceptional. The Impreza has always been a welcome alternative to other compacts on the market, but it will never be a sales leader. You do get a relatively fun driving experience with the Impreza.
If you are in the market for a new compact the Impreza should probably be avoided. There are so many other good cars on the market that you shouldn’t have a problem deciding. Subaru is working on a replacement for this model and it is better to hold off and wait for it. The Impreza has been a fixture of the Subaru lineup for decades and the car has some real potential if the company redesigns it right.
