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.

AWD with power is worth the money - 2003 Subaru Impreza
By nemesis099 - December 24 - 2:00 amIve had my car for a while and as much as I love being able to compete with most cars on the road. I love it when I dont get stuck in the snow. I proved this when my friends and I went into a lot with 8" of snow on the ground and I was the only one to leave without a lot of pushing. If you live in a cold climate this is the car to own for the price.

Great alternative to SUV - 2003 Subaru Impreza
By mgraze - August 7 - 10:00 amI just bought a new 2002 Outback Sport but the 2003 and 2002 are identical. I really love this car so far. I only have 600 miles on it but enjoy the ride quality, handling, interior layout and the power of the extremely smooth flat 4 engine. I was actually shopping it against the Honda CR-V LX. While the Honda is a fantastic vehicle (much better and less expensive than the Forester) I got such a great deal on last years model OBS that I couldnt pass it up. The only things I gave up were rear disk brakes and some interior room.

No Turbo Neeeded - 2003 Subaru Impreza
By mainj - May 19 - 2:00 amThis is a fun car. The engine seems more responsive and quicker than my V6 mustang. I would only buy the manual trans though. I really thought I might be missing out if I didnt get the WRX but I dont think so. I saved myself about 6 grand and who knows how much in insurance! Also, I like the fact that you dont see these cars everywhere you go.

Fun Pocket Rocket - 2003 Subaru Impreza
By FishNutz - April 21 - 2:00 amI work with a ton of car buffs who sport around in their 50k porsches or other sports cars. Not all of them appreciate the car design but they all have the same reaction when I drop the clutch at about 3500 RPMs...Holy S!*#!!. If you want a luxury "sports" car look somewhere else. If you want a car that drives like a gokart on steroids this is your ride. With the popularity of the car there are a wide range of modifications coming online for those who want to take the next step in performance.

subiewagon - 2003 Subaru Impreza
By brent from ontario - March 21 - 10:00 amcar handles all the corners and twisties you want to give it for a vehicle in this price range. A little quick to shift from 1st to 2nd. ride is good on highway; not quite as good on our rough city roads in Toronto. I bought winter tires which make this car very impressive when it gets snowy or icy. Very fun to drive and surprises a few people from the lights.

Great car for the money - 2003 Subaru Impreza
By RichardW - March 2 - 10:00 amThis is one zippy car for the price. I did replace the factory tires with Yokahamas, but it is stock otherwise. Good seats, interior is fine, standard package is loaded. Handling is great, with the ability to get rid of the understeer by accelerating through the corners. The 4 wheel drive is the key. Minor complaints are the somewhat mushy shifter and gas mileage is only about 22mpg (with premium fuel). I bought it because it was about the only car that both Car and Driver(a great drivers car) and Consumer Reports(reliability) liked. And its a lot cheaper than an Audi Quattro.

egos review - 2003 Subaru Impreza
By ego115 - February 18 - 2:00 amJust bought it and it kicks ass. Love the look, color and performance. Beware when you get one that people want to race you all the time.

No competition - 2003 Subaru Impreza
By dogbreath - September 6 - 2:00 amWRX sedan has no real world competition (price related). Performance numbers = $40-50k German sedans. The "feel" is exceptional. Like nothing you have ever driven, unless you have driven M3s. That is only thing that comes close in my experience. Everyone admits, the sheet metal and interior are not as sexy as the German big brothers, but you get passed that when you hit the throttle (in a hurry!). The car will do anything you can throw at it.
