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.

what an amazing car! - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By alexking - December 1 - 10:00 amI had an VW GTi before this and an Audi S4 before that and this car is simply amazing. It has effortless pace, wonderful build quality, plenty of gizmos, its thrilling to drive and people always ask about it. i did a big road trip in it and the seats were a little harsh after a while but that is my only qualm. dont hesitate, if you are enthusiast - buy one!

One bad mofo! - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By Vader - December 1 - 10:00 amWell, all I gotta say is that this car is a performance machine, looking to kick some 8 cly rear-ends. Its a beautiful machine which has no pity going fast. It still surprises me how powerful it is, even after a month of owning one. :)

By benoit léveillé - November 13 - 2:00 amIm from Québec province,close from Montréal and here the weather isnt particuliary great, especially during winter and thats why I purchased this car and so far Im convinced of my choice! This is the best affordable AWD, and a true one like the Audis, in his class, a lot better then the Matrix/Vibe. Only if this car have Mazda3 look...

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

WRX- Not a performance Bargain - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By Jeff - September 26 - 6:26 amThe WRX being a top 10 on Car and Driver sounds great. I traded my Acura RSX base for this car and thought it would be an excellent car to own. The WRX is great if youre looking for a racer with build potential. If you want any luxury or are concerned about build quality, do not buy a WRX. The clutch squeaks, driver seat sounds like an old couch when you get into it, the paint quality is the worst I have ever seen, the gas mileage is horrible, turbo lag makes the car feel like it cant get out of its own way until you hit 3500 rpms and then it finally throws you back into your squeaky seat. No power trunk release and Oh yes there are the windows that have no frame--perhaps the worst feature

WRX as good as my M3 - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By salligator - September 1 - 10:00 amTo me a Subaru makes a great winter snow car. This time I bought a WRX, since my summer car is a BMW M3 convertible. Except at very low RPMs, the WRX might as well have an M3 on it. The handling on a very narrow twisty road is as good as the M3, and the accelleration as long as you stay above 3000 RPM is also about the same. But the WRX has more features, it does not transmit potholes to your back, it goes in snow, and it has all weather performance tires that do not require replacement every 13000 miles.

Excellent! - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By trrbocharged - September 1 - 10:00 amI decided that I needed to get another car to compliment my modified 944 Turbo, and I really wanted to find something "affordable" with comparable performance. The STi definitely fits the bill. I have logged about 1600 miles on it so far, it its running great. I didnt care much for all of the external decals and the chrome lettering on the trunk, so I removed everything except the little STi logo on the front grill. I think the body looks great, and I actually think the tail size is just fine. All in all, I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend the car to anyone.
