EARTHY CAR OF THE WEEK: 2007 Subaru Impreza 2.5i Red

Overview: (AOL Autos)

Subaru Imprezas are good fun to drive and quite practical, with decent room in the back seat and good gas mileage. The standard fulltime all-wheel-drive system is legitimately a safety, performance and foul-weather advantage.

The Impreza's line has grown to the point where you almost need a program to tell the players. There are currently 10 models, both sedans and wagons. All are powered by a variant of Subaru's 2.5-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine. All come standard with full-time all-wheel drive and a manual transmission. Safety features on all models include dual front airbags, front side-impact airbags, and seatbelts with pre-tensioners and force limiters for the front seats. ABS comes standard and features four sensors and four channels.

The sedan's trunk is large...[and] has a low opening for easy loading.

The seats are very comfortable and offer a wide range of adjustment for the driver.
