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.

  in a ditch - 2004 Subaru Impreza
  By crashsti - July 20 - 10:00 am

  i bought this car as soon as i heard about it. the best part was i had never really done any driving in a car with a manual transmission. once i got the hang of the clutch and the short throw shifter it has been nothing but sheer pleasure to drive. although some might say that the STi offers a harsh ride i feel firmly connected to the road. seriously the best car i could have bought for my dollar and performance oriented preferences.

  Awesome power and nice touches of comfrt - 2004 Subaru Impreza
  By John. - July 20 - 10:00 am

  So far this has been the most fun and exciting vehicle I have ever driven. The power has yet to let me down and feeling of control over the vehicle is second to none! I read a review and it said you drive this car not vise versa and that sums this machine up. The car is equipped w/ power options and A/C also the optional auto-dimming/Compass rear view mirror adds some class along w/ the outside temp. There is no denying this car was meant for the performance minded driver, but the subtle touches make it an awesome all around daily driver.

  Paper Towels and Doggie Mats Please - 2004 Subaru Impreza
  By STiBoy - July 14 - 2:00 am

  Simply put. "Amazing!" Your first look is... "Cool someone put a GIGANTIC wing on the back of an impreza." Oh no my friends, this car is MUCH more than that. The moment you put this car in second gear you will find yourself gasping for air. 2 wheels pulling and 2 wheels pushing your car while you travel 0-60 in 4.5 seconds!!! You will find yourself pulling away from Z06s and 350Zs with ease. But this car not only picks up and goes! I knows how to turn with speed as well! Throw your differential all the way back and find yourself drifting in an S curve @ 95+ MPH. This car is for SERIOUS drivers only. Get 911 performance with a 1/4th the price.

  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.

  Only one on the road - 2004 Subaru Impreza
  By el_picardo - June 7 - 10:00 am

  Could only afford the RS, but I love it. In bad roads and even worse weather its the best. It is a bit hard to drive slowly though, it just wants to run.Im a newbie to manual transmission, but this is an easy car to drive. Ive only had it for 2.5 months, but any car I dont have to take in for warranty during the first week, is good in my book.

  Theres a new Sheriff - 2004 Subaru Impreza
  By threeblockwheelie - May 26 - 2:00 am

  I test-drove my scoobie on a cold, rainy night during rush hour. I pulled out onto the freeway feeder and stomped on the gas. Never before have I experianced anything like it in such unfavorable conditions. Amazing acceleration. A good, balanced handling and steering package, a very rough ride, and a little more understeer than expected. But mash the gas and other drivers are just sitting still - fantastic. Its your chance to own a true musclecar. Those Playstation kids will want to hug you.

  I love my car. - 2004 Subaru Impreza
  By Ray - May 10 - 5:50 pm

  I love everything about this car...with a couple of hitches. I wish I got the MPG they tell you it gets. I get about 20-22 mpg on average; Ive never gotten anywhere close to 26...even pure highway. My tranny had a problem. They fixed it no question. The paint kinda sucks. the stock stereo is terrible. Beyond that I love it. It rips in the snow. Is safe in the rain. Is a blast to just drive around. Its a great car. My first new car..and Im happy with my choice. On top of that..I owe less than its worth. How often can you say that about a 15 month old car with 32k miles on it?

  Subarus are truly at home in Alaska - 2004 Subaru Impreza
  By wolfpack - May 2 - 10:00 am

  Ive driven subies in Alaska for about 18 years..before most people ever heard of them. The main reason is they long ago perfected reliable all wheel drive. Finally, they added fun to the equation! I got the wagon so Id have a little more room for camping gear, the roof rack, and the fold-down rear seats. Its also cheaper to insure then the sedan, even though its basically identical. Go figure. Ive only had it about a month, but its a fun ride. More power then anyone really needs in a car this size, but thats why its fun. Easily became the car where Id be tooling along and look down and notice I was going 85 instead of 65.

  Race Car with Factor Warrenty - 2004 Subaru Impreza
  By mrth3p1ague - April 13 - 2:00 am

  This is my first 4cy. and I am very very impressed, this car drives like a V-8. The engineering behind this car is truly exhausting,not much was missed. This car can meet anyones driving style, the car can be mild manored if driven properly, if you let the revs get above 3000 your over the speed limit. This car has truly moved the bar for what a performace car should be. I will have to keep this car for a long time or I will be forced to pay 100k to find something that will compare to the overall performance found in this car.
