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.

Subaru Impreza STi Fan - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By AngusinMD - March 8 - 2:00 amI was fortunate enough to get one of the first few in Annapolis. I love the car, it is everything I thought it would be in terms of performance. I wanted a car with a huge grin factor to justify all of the hours spent at work. And this car provides the grin factor in spades. I cant really ask for anything more from the car in terms of performance, styling, and fun. It is a sports car so the creature comforts must be overlooked.

Jack of all trades - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By ay - February 21 - 5:43 pmAfter 2 years I still enjoy driving this car and have no regrets about the purchase. Build quality is good; my only complaint is an annoying and difficult-to-pin-down buzzing/rattling from the vicinity of the glovebox. That being said, its a great car. The gearbox is a little finicky and temperamental. Turbo lag is apparent but partially mitigated with a Cobb AP. I personally think its part of the fun. There are little things that could be improved but -none- of them would prevent me from buying the car again! Its not the fastest car out there but very few can haul all your gear, get you to-and-from the mountains, make you grin on the on-ramps, and get 24-25 mpg mixed city/hwy.

Few Flaws - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By Kyle Kaiser - February 13 - 10:00 amA much better choice for a daily driver than the Evo. The 2.5L powerplant was an excellent choice. Excellent buildy quality and looks. Gold rims are catchy, especially with my metallic black paint with golden fleck, matches perfectly. Looks xtra sharp. Only complaints, tight back seat, little sloppy feel on the tranny.

AMAZING CAR!!!!! - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By Robert Schwarze - February 7 - 10:00 amThis car has to be the true peak of performance. I have never driven such a fun and reliable car. It can take turns at serious speeds and can haul when you want it too. THE FUNNEST car I have ever owned and if you havent tried one out, do it NOW. Was definitely the best buy of my life. I cant wait to use my FREE ONE YEAR OF SCCA - o ya that comes with it too!!! THIS CAR ROCKS!

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.
