This Year's Model Updates:

Subaru completely redesigns the Impreza and brings a high-performance turbocharged WRX variant into the fold to offer enthusiasts the opportunity to drive a powerful, all-wheel-drive sport sedan without breaking the bank. All Imprezas benefit from improvements in performance, refinement and safety. Along with the Impreza's trip upmarket come revised trim levels consisting of two sedans (WRX and 2.5 RS) and three wagons (WRX, Outback Sport and 2.5 TS Sport Wagon). The coupe body style has been dropped.

Pros:
  • A stout 227 horsepower in the WRX, all-wheel drive, a variety of sedans and wagons to choose from.
Cons:
  • No more coupe, extroverted styling may be too much for some.

  • Great Car - 2002 Subaru Impreza

    Ive had this car since June 2001 and its been a blask every day. Only minor downfalls (as you probably already know) are the turbo lag at low RPMs, and a not-so-luxurious interior. But, its comfortable, Ive had no problems, and its the most fun car Ive had the pleasure of driving. For the price its the best you can get.

    I test drove and automatic first, No fun. Bought a manual, and had the time of my life. I did alot of research and poking around for these, and it only helped me buy this car faster than i normally would have.

    This car is a blast to drive! The speed quotient is one thing, but the handling is outstanding. Only an old Porsche 356b that I had in the seventies handled better. The comfort to drive is based on your size, age and ability to handle a very firm ride. Go for it!

  • Long on Performance, short on looks - 2002 Subaru Impreza

    Amazing performance car. I have had a few problems with it listed below. Very difficult to shift into first gear-almost always, but especially in the cold. Almost impossible to shift into reverse. Eats oil like crazy (though not leaking) and the dealer does not want to admit that it is a problem. (1 quart every 1,000 miles)

  • Best Car Available Today - 2002 Subaru Impreza

    Quite possibly the best vehicle offered today! The WRX wagon gives you the best of both worlds- high-performance and utility. I can haul anything I want AND I find excuses to drive any- and everywhere. No longer have pizzas delivered cause its an excuse to drive somewhere. The car has a real fun-to-drive vibe. All-wheel-drive and responsive steering inspire confidence to a much greater degree than any other sports car I have driven- and this is a wagon! The turbo comes on strong at 3000 rpm- pushing you back into your seat. It literally feels like a rollercoaster. And just as with rollercoasters, that sudden burst of speed is addictive.

    The drive is great. But the fun stops there. This car is good at one thing only: Rally driving. Couldnt really feel the turbo.

  • The almighty WRX... - 2002 Subaru Impreza

    Here it is: If you want to be driving the fastest, safest, best handling stock car on the road, then get a WRX! I love mine! Its constantly surprising me how powerful it is. Its also incredibly good in snow! I cant really get it to "play" in the snow, though, because the AWD and ABS is always correcting any slides. It is also a great "sleeper" car. That is, not everyone knows they are fast until youve left them far behind you! ;) I would highly recommend one. However, they are only going to get cooler looking in 2004-5 so if youre thinking about waiting, check out Subaru Globals site under the Topics section to see the future WRX beast!! :) Cya!
