Overview & Reviews

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.

• A stout 227 horsepower in the WRX, all-wheel drive, a variety of sedans and wagons to choose from.

• No more coupe, extroverted styling may be too much for some.

  worth every penny! - 2002 Subaru Impreza
  By G-pong - February 20 - 10:00 am

  Ive had so much fun with this vehicle- my previous car was an 2001 Integra Type-R. Although I did love my Type-R, the WRX has the same fun factor and I can take my friends along. I have been driving it hard over the past year and Im still giddy every time I go for a drive.

  Real world performance - 2002 Subaru Impreza
  By silky - February 7 - 2:00 am

  This is not the fastest car Ive owned, but it certainly does most things well. Build quality is excellent, my only problem in 10,000 miles was a cracked windshield. Gas mileage is ok at an average of 24mpg mixed city/highway. The ride is firm but supple and this car swallows up potholes and ridges with aplomb, unlike most sports cars Ive owned. Grip is limited with stock tires but still outcorners most other cars, in the wet, its superb!

  Great Car! I would buy another anytime! - 2002 Subaru Impreza
  By Brian Adcock - February 2 - 10:00 am

  Ive owned a WRX for one year now and Ive put 30,000 trouble free miles on this machine. This car is a blast to drive and handles like a dream. Only negative is the seat comfort - little skimpy on the padding, I see Subaru changed that for the 2004 models. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a sporty sedan! With 4- doors even - easy to sell this car as a family car and give dad a good time when by himself :)

  Best car under 30000 - 2002 Subaru Impreza
  By feelgood - January 14 - 10:00 am

  Im vey pleased with the WRX. The handling is excellent as is the acceleration (0-60 6.0 secs at 3500ft- stock). The brakes could be better, however. The seats are the best Ive ever sat in. Rear seat comfort is also first rate. The shift action is fairly poor stock, but for $100 and 1hr you can install a shifter kit which improves the feel greatly. The only things I dislike: if you dont rev it up when starting off it will bog down, the previously mentioned shifter and brakes, and I wish it had a six speed. Over all this car is just awsome. It is almost a perfect car at any price, and for under $30000 it cant be beat!

  8 Years... I still love this car! - 2002 Subaru Impreza
  By MOMO1 - December 28 - 6:16 am

  I bought this car brand new 8 years ago and aside from a CPU problem (covered by factory warranty) Ive had no problems. With 92,000 Ive replaced the brakes just once on the front and back. It is a drivers car and is all about performance and drivability. Definitely the most bang for the buck possibly of any car made to date.

  Fun Drive - Great features - 2002 Subaru Impreza
  By Ratpolfe - November 22 - 10:00 am

  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.

  Subaru WRX 2002 - DYNOMITE - 2002 Subaru Impreza
  By Will - November 3 - 10:00 am

  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!
