It you just want an impact for changing tires get the HF cordless. Its exactly perfect for that. Doesnt quite spin fast enough for putting the nut onto shock shafts though.
But if I'm going to get a corded set, I'm going to do it right the first time and get Milwaukee, maybe settle for dewalt if i get a killer deal on it.

Makita ftw! Bought a combo set with 1/4" impact, hammer drill and circular as several years ago. Li-ion was still pretty new to tools at the time. One battery stopped charging a year later with very light use. I was pissed and suffered with one for the longest time, replacement was $80 from amazon and I sometimes think about picking up a third just for convenience. Picked up the 1/2" impact for autox tire swaps and then got rid of the r-comps later that year. Both get a ton of use on the car, I've never found a bolt on the miata the 1/2" can't break free. I've got the BTW450 1/2", not sure which model 1/4" LXsomthingorother.

Depends on the brand and the torque output, but I'd say overall.. Yes.
My Milwaukee impact isn't something you'd be installing lug nuts with, but I use it for general engine assembly. Gets things moving on and off very quickly but doesn't put out too much torque.
Cover cost and shipping, I'll send you one.

Milwaukee! I have used dewault, makita(white) and Hilti. The Milwaukee drill motors and Impact drivers are superb. Light, strong, small, last a good while on full use. We really like our Hilti Sawzall and Hilti Angle Grinder. Save your money for the better power tools. Our Milwauk's don't slowly loose power over the period of use like most, rather they just turn off giving you more use
