Overview & Reviews

For 2004, all Imprezas sport revised front and rear fascias -- gone are the oddball circular headlamps in favor of a more mainstream wedge-shaped design. In addition, all models get upgraded suspension struts (to improve ride quality and steering response), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, a collapsible pedal system, revised gauges and a new stereo faceplate. The WRX and Outback Sport receive projector beam foglights. Inside, WRX models have new sport seats, a central tachometer and darker gray faux metal accents. The TS wagon, Outback Sport and RS sedan add an in-glass antenna, active front head restraints, central power door lock switch and multireflector halogen headlights. Further, the TS now has four-wheel disc brakes. The RS sedan's keyless entry system now has an audible confirmation feature, and keyless entry is now standard on the TS. Finally, the WRX sedan is now available with a Premium Package that includes a sunroof, trunk spoiler, heated mirrors, heated front seats and a wiper de-icer.

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

• Often pricey when compared to its competition, tight rear quarters.

  Should have got something else - 2004 Subaru Impreza
  By nbabiarz - August 6 - 10:00 am

  Have 6k miles on the car, and am ready to get rid of it. The steering is terrible (wobbly, feels like Im in a boat being pushed back and forth across traffic) and my *new* car had rust on the door, plus several other defects. Ive been back to Subaru of Gwinnett 3 times to fix it, and they cant/wont. Ive been told "thats how all AWD vehicles drive" (I thought AWD was supposed to feel *more* stable than FWD?) and that I need to put air in the tires every week... Im very disappointed with the car, and with the lack of support from Subaru. I will not be being any more Subaru cars in the future.

  buy an evo instead - 2004 Subaru Impreza
  By chris c - November 10 - 10:00 am

  AFTER A LONG TIME OF DECIDING WHICH CAR TO BUY, I CHOSE THE STI OVER THE EVO. WITH BETTER SPECS,I THOUGHT THAT I HAD MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE. WITHIN A WEEK, THE CAR HAD ALREADY STARTED HAVING MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. AFTER SEVERAL VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP,MY CAR WAS FINALLY FIXED. THIS IS MY 3RD VEHICLE THAT I HAVE PURCHASED NEW AND SO FAR TURNED OUT TO BE THE WORST ONE.

  Transmission Woes - 2004 Subaru Impreza
  By jk55 - September 5 - 10:00 am

  The 5 speed manual is awful or, perhaps, I got a lemon. I have had many manual transmission cars and this is the first that has given me trouble.

  WARNING: I GOT A LEMON - 2004 Subaru Impreza
  By JoshJoshJosh - July 5 - 10:00 am

  Just a warning. I now have 17000 miles on the car and it has been seven trips to the dealership. The brakes disintegrated, the alternator and battery were defective, the car was recalled for a parking brake problem, another brake problem (brake light).
