Overview & Reviews
As the Impreza was redesigned just last year, not much changes for 2003. Convenience has been improved; keyless entry is now standard equipment on the 2.5 RS, TS Sport Wagon and Outback Sport. For the WRX, Subaru will offer a standard rear spoiler on the sedan (though you can still get the car without, if you want) and Sonic Yellow is available as an exclusive WRX color.
- A stout 227 horsepower in the WRX, all-wheel-drive grip, a variety of sedans and wagons to choose from.
- Often pricey when compared to its competition.

Love the performance, hate the repairs - 2003 Subaru Impreza
By rgdave - January 27 - 10:00 amThe winding, mountainous roads around me are a kick in my WRX, with power, pickup and handling. (Even Porsche and BMW driving friends LOVE driving it!) But gravel and rutted roads are tough on the tires (on my 2nd set), brakes (going in for its 2nd brake job at 27,000 mi.) and alignment (cant seem to hold it.) Could use a little more ground clearance. Doubt Id buy it again because of the brake and tire problems.

shot marks - 2003 Subaru Impreza
By dave leatherman - November 26 - 10:00 amI bought this car thinking "this is it!". I admit it is a fun and fast car. But Ive found it had a lot of little problems. The steering isnt always there to help you with agressive turns, shifting can be missed when pushed a bit more agressively and it is already showing signs of wear... which makes me wander how reliable it will be as years pile up. My friend bought and Evolution, I recently got a chance to drive it... and inmediately I realized my mistake. The Evo is much more refined in all aspects and has a better steering feel. I think my WRX is a great car, but I think the EVO will always be more refined... even when the 290Hp STi comes out.

Subaru cant fix it? - 2003 Subaru Impreza
By boangenese - November 26 - 10:00 amI want to believe the car is well built and reliable, but sometimes it doesnt start, it just turns over and shakes the entire vehicle - then it starts. Subaru cant duplicate it, cant fix it, so I dont know what to think about them now. Ive got 13,000 miles on it already.
