Subaru Impreza

Many might know of the Subaru Impreza from the “The Fast and The Furious” franchise or from the late 90s when they reached their popularity. Fast forward to 2025, it had been revamped to resemble something a little more sensible and subdued. It contains a 2.0-litre boxer engine with 152 horsepower, which may not break any records but is perfectly fine for day-to-day driving. It has a sporty “RS” upgrade that includes a bigger 2.5-litre engine. The standard model has a starting price of under $25,000, while the sportier version still comes under $30,000.

Another 90s throwback that has increased in popularity over the last few years is the Toyota Corolla, and for good reason.  This car has remarkable fuel efficiency paired with 169 horsepower and even a premium FX trim. It will never light up a race track or turn heads driving down the road, but it is safe, reliable, and practical. For the privilege of owning this vehicle, its starting price is $24,000. Bet I caught your attention now, huh?
