Car A
Subaru Impreza WRX STI
The Subaru Impreza WRX STI blends 300 hp AWD performance with five-seat utility and a 460 L trunk, delivering good value in its segment. It’s quick and safe, but its 11.7 L/100 km fuel use won’t suit efficiency-first buyers.

The Volkswagen Arteon blends strong petrol performance with real everyday usability for growing families and road trips. Front‑wheel drive and 8.5 L/100 km combined consumption make it less ideal for harsh winters or efficiency‑first buyers.
