Subaru Impreza vs. Subaru Crosstrek: Which Vehicle Is Better for Boston Drivers?

Subarus are some of the safest and most reliable vehicles on the road today. Most of them have standard symmetrical all-wheel drive for sure-footed handling on wet or icy streets in Boston. If you've been wondering which Subaru car or SUV is right for you, Subaru of Wakefield is happy to help. The new Subaru Impreza and new Subaru Crosstrek are two of our more popular models. The following comparison of both vehicles is designed to aid Belmont, MA drivers with their choice.
