This Year's Model Updates:

Subaru completely redesigns the Impreza and brings a high-performance turbocharged WRX variant into the fold to offer enthusiasts the opportunity to drive a powerful, all-wheel-drive sport sedan without breaking the bank. All Imprezas benefit from improvements in performance, refinement and safety. Along with the Impreza's trip upmarket come revised trim levels consisting of two sedans (WRX and 2.5 RS) and three wagons (WRX, Outback Sport and 2.5 TS Sport Wagon). The coupe body style has been dropped.

Pros:
  • A stout 227 horsepower in the WRX, all-wheel drive, a variety of sedans and wagons to choose from.
Cons:
  • No more coupe, extroverted styling may be too much for some.

  • Fun 2nd Car - 2002 Subaru Impreza

    Fun 2nd car. Not for every day. Theres a considerable turbo lag, but not an issue if you keep revs above 4000. Some understear. Side mirrors too small. Also, I recommend to change to better tires.

  • A Fun, Practical, Fun Value - 2002 Subaru Impreza
    By -

    This car is great fun and the best sport sedan value on the market. Its AWD makes it rock in the snow and rain and its turbo-boosted engine make it one of the quickest cars on the market. It surpasses my BMW 530i for accelleration (the Bimmer has a higher and smoother top end) and beats my 4WD SUV for traction. It has a back seat for friends and family and is much more practical then Subaru lets on.

  • Great Car For Your Money - 2002 Subaru Impreza

    I purchased this car about 8 months ago now and have not been disapointed. This car is down right fast, yet it is a vehicle that I can still take on my long drives home from school, that is quite enough to hear myself think inside, and is always fun on the go.

    What I got: WRX Sedan - Sport Package - Sound Package The suboofer is plenty for myself, but for serious noise, look aftermarket. The spoier is beautiful, but the short throw shifter is of questionable value on this car. My first turbo car, the lag is definately noticeable, but doesnt get in the way if you keep the revs up. Its a hoot to blast through the turns, and has been a joy in rain, snow, and ice thanks to the AWD. Nothing better than dusting every other car off the line on wet pavement. Overall I really love this car. Its a blast and Id reccomend a test drive to anyone.

    I love this little wagon. I bought it new and it has been so much fun to drive. Im tall and it has a lot of headroom. Its fast and comfortable and a blast to drive. Its been extremely reliable until recently when at 92,000 miles Ive had to replace the transmission and the air conditioner compressor. It has Recaro seats which are very comfortable and it has some engine adjustments by Cobb Tuning which drop the 0-60 time into the 4s. It will run with a Porsche at a third of the price. My son has a 2005 and he is 65" and he fits in it comfortably. I like my WRX much better than my wifes 2009 Lexus IS 350 which I have to fold myself up like a pretzel to get into.

  • Best Car for the Money - Hands down - 2002 Subaru Impreza
    By -

    This car is an absolute blast to drive. I have owned mine for about seven months and I still have a smile everytime I step on the gas. I did a lot of research before I chose this car, and you cant beat the quality, features and performance of this car for the price. I was comparing this car to cars costing $5k - $10k more - still no contest. Drive one and see what I mean.
