CR's Take

The 9-2X is a thinly disguised Subaru Impreza wagon with more sound insulation and a slightly longer warranty. All-wheel drive is standard, and power comes from the Subaru's standard 2.5-liter, 165-hp four-cylinder, which is just adequate. The strong 2.0-liter, 227-hp turbocharged four-cylinder from the WRX comes in the Aero trim line. Handling is quite agile, and the ride is supple. This peculiar crossbreeding is a result of GM owning Saab and partly owning Subaru.
