If there's a brand that's synonymous with all-wheel drive, it's Subaru - and the Subaru WRX is designed with the enthusiast in mind. The 2019 AWD sedans model comes with a 268-horsepower turbocharged boxer four-cylinder and a six-speed manual transmission. For  $36,595, the top-spec WRX STI bumps the power to 310 horsepower, and adds a host of other go fast-goodies, like high-performance suspension, Brembo brakes, and large rear wing. But every WRX is built off the DNA of the company's legendary rally cars.

At $49,850, the T5 Momentum is less expensive, but output drops to 250 horsepower, and the cabin has less frills.

When it comes to the sporty sedans, it's hard to beat the Germans, and the Mercedes S560 is rolling proof of why.
