The Subaru XV may be terrific to drive and ever so reliable, but it’s also a particularly entertaining concept. Essentially Subaru took an Impreza and pumped it full of steroids. The result both delectable and practical: this crossover vehicle combines the versatility and off-road ability of a SUV with the handling and performance of a hatch. We love the XV’s go anywhere, conquer anything" and kick-butt attitude, its raised suspension for extra ground clearance, its bold styling, funky bucket seats and leather-covered three-spoke sports steering wheel. This car rocks!
