* Subaru IMPREZA 2.5 RS

Price: $19,820

Engine: 2.5-liter flat four, 165 hp, 166 lb-ft

Curb weight: 2965 lbs

Drivetrain: awd, five-speed manual

If you choose Subaru's Impreza 2.5 RS over its wilder brother, the WRX, you'll definitely notice your car is down 62 horsepower to your buddy's. The WRX is much more of a wild beast than the non-turbocharged RS. But you'll still get a fun-to-drive runabout, offering all-wheel-drive cornering stability and bad-weather traction, as well as standard ABS and the low-rpm torque of an extra 0.5 liter. You'll also take comfort knowing you paid nearly $5,000 less; few awd cars available in the States are as inexpensive as the RS. The RS has a comfortable interior with plenty of room for three young kids in back, terrific front buckets and a great driving position.
