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.

  Well worth the money, Just buy it! - 2004 Subaru Impreza
  By Xman810 - October 20 - 10:00 am

  Got my STI on 7/9. All i can say is, this car is fun as hell to drive in. If i could, I would sleep in it. If anyone is thinking about the STI, stop, dont think, just go out and buy it. Its worth the price its selling for. Very minimal turbo lag. I have had nothing but compliments from people who see me in this car, and this is even coming from people who dont like imports.

  It saddens me. - 2004 Subaru Impreza
  By Cagar aStoirm - October 20 - 10:00 am

  After having my WRX for two years I turned it in for the STi. The dealership, of course, did not allow a test drive and they also kicked it up a bit above MSRP. The problem which occured was with the seats. After driving it home my back ached. I figured I would fiddle with the seat more. After two weeks my back was not better the seats just didnt fit me correctly, hence I was forced to sell my STi recently.

  Great car - 2004 Subaru Impreza
  By Josh - June 25 - 12:20 am

  This was my "realistic" dream car thanks to the FIA WRC. Ive had it for 2 years now and still love every second Im behind the wheel on it. The only problems Ive had with it are that the paint is kinda weak and a bulb in my headlight and two in my taillights have gone out. Engine wise, it hits 6,000rpms or more at least once a day and has done so happily. There is a very minor occasional squeak on really rough potholed roads but 99% of the time it is squeakless. Build quality is excellent. The AWD is fantastic. I would recommend this car to anyone that loves to drive.

  Ive enjoyed my WRX - 2004 Subaru Impreza
  By Zach D. - March 8 - 2:00 am

  Ive had this car for 5 months and find it to be a blast to drive. Handling is fantastic, and I like the tight feeling to the ride. Has a lot of quickness. The power is good when the rpms are high, but it does lack power at low rpms. One problem in my first 7,000 miles: someone hit the molding surrounding the fog light, and now it is VERY loose and will need to be replaced.

  WRX - 2004 Subaru Impreza
  By ShoeBox - February 26 - 10:00 am

  Its a fast car, good engine reliability, and it has AWD, but the built in quality is so so. Squeaking is everywhere (window is squaking when you roll down). Dash board is ratling here and there. Seat is good for driving around the city, but its bad for out of town.

  Little charmer - 2004 Subaru Impreza
  By DJCLOS - January 9 - 5:13 pm

  Fun little car. I wanted something practical but not boring like hondas & toyotas. Car handles great, suspension is firm and gives nice feedback but on ruff roads it doesnt beat you up. Acceleration feels faster than it is. I have taken this car every where and it has never let me down. Car plows through snow. Car is a jack of all trades.

  Holy - 2004 Subaru Impreza
  By junkiegolfer - October 25 - 2:00 am

  A buddy at work bought one. I asked if I could take it for a spin. No prob he says. So off we go. He says go ahead get on it. This car scared the heck out of me. I stepped on it a little and realized that this car had TREMENDOUS performance ability. YIKES! It would have taken me a considerable amount of time to learn the car before I could GET ON IT!. THIS IS a hyperFAST car!!!!!

  Shear Power - 2004 Subaru Impreza
  By zac123 - September 13 - 2:00 am

  This is my first real sports car. I love the shear power of the engine. Very fun to drive and handles turns well.

  Flawless! - 2004 Subaru Impreza
  By bmorewrx - August 5 - 7:06 pm

  In the 2.5 years and 30,000 miles Ive had the WRX, it has been nearly perfect. Acceleration, even on regular unleaded, is awesome. Im on the second set of tires, and did a "plus zero" on the stock wheels, and the slightly wider tires definitely improve the handling, although its still no BMW when it comes to the ride/handling balance. The interior is still an Impreza econobox, but the Momo wheel and upgraded seats make a big improvement in looks and comfort! Overall, by far the best car Ive owned.

  2.5 TS Automatic - 2004 Subaru Impreza
  By RJ - July 27 - 1:46 pm

  Ive enjoyed this vehicle for over a year now. It is a great car; it makes driving in the city (Chicago) almost enjoyable.
