I researched a lot of AWD vehicles when I was in the market for a new car. Being a person that had drive a FWD Sport Utility vehicle for the 7 years prior to looking for a car, I was very skeptical about how well I would like a car. It was a rough transition but one I will be glad that I made. I needed to find an AWD (all wheel drive) vehicle due to the terrain, roads and weather where I live, I wanted to keep a FWD SUV but couldn't afford the gas as I commute almost 200 miles a day. After much much research and comparisons I knew what I wanted and searched high and low. I wanted a 5 door (hatchback) dark silver Subaru Impreza standard model, with a manual transmission (hard to find these days). I found it!
