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.

SC STi - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By an5 - January 21 - 10:00 amThis car rocks, it has 4 doors & a large trunk. I can fit the kids in the back and still have fun. It launches like a rocket, turns like its on rails, and stops on a dime. I go through withdrawal pains anytime I am not driving it. I want to make trips just to drive it. You cant beat the feeling of the turbo and the 300ft-lbs of torque. The handling is outstanding and the braking is quick and sure. On top of this, it has all-wheel drive (that is computer or manually adjusted). The interior looks great and the controls are well laid out. Performance of a car costing twice as much with safety features like huge brakes (w/ABS), side airbags, and AWD.

Subaru STi Rocks - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By bulletboss - December 9 - 10:00 amI planned to test drive a number of performance 4-door sedans, but then I test drove an STi and was so blown away I bought it on the spot. This has to be one of the best, if not THE best, high performance car bargain ever. I dig everything about my STi and have to open the door to my garage several times a night just to gaze upon my resting blue devil waiting to be unleashed on an unsuspecting motoring public. As a bonus, I have instant respect from the fast & furious crowd (and even the grayinig, detroit iron bably boomer crowd, of which I am one) anytime I pull up to the gas pump or stop by the local cruise night. This car rocks!

Icy, Steep Hills? No Problem - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By skilift - November 24 - 3:16 pmI bought this car for two reasons: for a 60 mile (round trip) commute to work each day and to get me up the hill to go skiing on the weekends. This car has performed admirably in both respects. I was pleasantly surprised by how well my Subaru handled snowy or icy, steep hills. I didnt find a hill all winter that I couldnt get up and it didnt matter where, or how, I parked, I never got stuck. And this was during a winter that the papers said was the areas most snowy since 1916. In addition, the car is comfortable for my commute. This is saying something considering I am 61". Observed mpg: 25-26 with ski racks; 28-30 w/o ski racks. Great vehicle for camping, too.

Pure Joy - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By infinity5235 - November 14 - 10:00 amKeeping it under 4000 rpms for the first 1000 miles was a royal pain as the engine just wants to be driven in the 5 to 7 thousand range. Not that low rpms led to low torque, just the opposite. But once that first 1000 miles was over, it was pure joy to drive. The brakes are superb and the drivers seat range perfect for my 5 11" 158 lb frame. The instrument panel has to be seen to be appreciated unlike any other on the market

Awe Inspiring - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By TheJ - November 3 - 3:16 amThis vehicle is not for the faint of heart. The power and handling characteristics are "world class" but for a middle class price. The grip of Subarus AWD, limited slip in front, limited slip in the rear and the driver or computer controled center planetery differential allow the 300 horses to do what they are designed to do. Move you at heart pounding speeds down curved or straight roads. I have owned this vehicle for two years and I love it. I have NEVER regreted my buying decision AT ALL.

Pocket Rocket - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By AnthonyN. - November 1 - 2:00 amAll I have to say about this cars performance is... WOW! While there is noticeable turbo lag once the car gets going,its a rocket. While not cheap when compared to others in its class (27K) its worth every penny for the 227 Turbocharged ponies it delivers. Build quality is high on the exterior and fair on the interior. Shifter is tight and fairly smooth, but could use less vibration. Sound system is one of the worst I have heard! 6 disc changer is a nice feature but better speakers would be more appreciated. Over all I am VERY pleased with this car and the performance to dollar ratio it delivers
