Overview & Reviews

The 2.5 RS now has drive-by-wire electronic throttle control and a new four-speed automatic transmission. The dashboard center stack/console has been redesigned with improved cupholders and fancier metallic trim. The 2.5 RS wagon, which boasts the RS sedan's upgraded suspension tuning, alloy wheels and sport seats, has replaced last year's 2.5 TS wagon. The WRX picks up automatic climate control, redesigned alloy wheels and body-color ground effects. Smoke-tinted headlight lenses and revised exterior colors round out the changes.

  Black STi - 2005 Subaru Impreza
  By scruffy - July 21 - 10:00 am

  The WRX STi is a great fun to drive car. It has positive handling, with no under/over steer faults(due to the adjustable center diff.) the car has a huge power band with 200hp at only 4000 rpm! and 300 hp at 6000 rpm! the car is faster than many other sedans in the same price range(BMW 325, Audi A4). If your a true car enthusiast, you will love the car.

  The Ultimate Beast - 2005 Subaru Impreza
  By 2QIK4U - July 21 - 12:36 am

  Ive driven many performance cars in my time and I have to say that this car stands toe to toe with most all of them. Ive outrun Cobra Mustangs, Dodge Charger SRT8s, older model Porsches, you name it. Phenomenal handling, super brakes, and a nice interior for a race car. Dont forget folks, compare the interior to other race cars, not luxury cars. Its fairly nice for a race car. It eats Vettes. They spin, you win. Awesome car! Period!

  I really love this car. The styling of the car is awesome. Though it may not be the fastest car out there it will really impress you.

  Great Wagon - 2005 Subaru Impreza
  By stocksj - June 21 - 2:19 pm

  Ive have my Impreza RS Wagon since new in 2005 and its always been very reliable in all weather. Mileage is good and it always runs. Ive used it as a truck hauling my hobby stuff and gardening things. The HVAC does not blow cold AC from the lower vents but its no differnt than the 2002 WRX wagon I traded in for this. This cars a keeper for life.

  my best car so far - 2005 Subaru Impreza
  By fuapiti - June 20 - 1:40 am

  Im a car enthusiast, and a former owner of two Acura Integras and one Nissan 350z and by far my Impreza WRX has been my best ride, sporty yet practical, fast, not flashy, reliable, and most important fun to drive on a daily basis and to own for that matter.

  Nice Subby - 2005 Subaru Impreza
  By XCELLR8 - June 10 - 7:33 am

  Bought the 2005 STI in May of this year. Since then I have noticed only VERY small limitations to the performance of the this car. If you plan on buying an STI, here is what to expect. YES, turbo lag only until you hit the 3000 RPM area; then its a beast. Understeer on tight corners, and vision out the rear view mirror because of the wild foot tall wing, love it! I have to admit coming from all types of American and German vehicles, this car has what it takes to be a real threat to the more exotic cars available and in some cases half the price and to boot economical at the pump! Another little tidbit...youre going to need to invest in floor mats and the better sounding stereo system!

  The most fun and reliable car I ever own - 2005 Subaru Impreza
  By Myeelotter - June 2 - 10:00 am

  I have driving 7,500 miles and I look forward to every time I get to drive it. Its so much fun even going to the supermarket. On the highway, its pure exhiliaration. I can just cruise or keep it up 5 notches to pass other annoying drivers and other aggresive drivers that like to tailgate me. This car has so much mid- range power that it really suprises me when I have to pass another vehicle. The interior is not as fancy as some of my friends Audi or Infiniti but its good enough for all my needs. Although I see they may some minor changes in the 2005 model that I love to have in my.

  Great Car! More fun than newer models! - 2005 Subaru Impreza
  By Anonymous - May 8 - 11:13 pm

  I bought a Subaru Impreza sport wagon. Its funny because it was more of a hatchback than a station wagon and it handled amazingly well. I recently totaled it but came out without a scratch! When I test drove the new 2008 Imprezas, they were clunkier, heavier, and didnt take turns as well. I know 3 years isnt long, but I never had a single problem that brought me to the dealer. Im a huge fan and wish they didnt redesign the imprezas so I could happily buy another one! Great gas mileage, handling, braking, acceleration (for its price and engine), lots of storage space on the wagonI

  Awesome car - 2005 Subaru Impreza
  By AGOW - April 30 - 7:10 pm

  I drive this thing very hard and it has held up well (except for the time I crashed into a curb while shredding up the snow). This car rocks when it comes to driving in the snow. It is a fun car. This car handles incredibly well and accelerates quickly with the turbo. The turbo lags a little..
