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.

2004 WRX Sedan - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By wrx-blue - December 25 - 10:00 amThis vehicle exceeds all my expectations. It is a Sports Sedan and performs like it. There are very few cars out there that equal its performance near its price. On a long trip I cruised at 75-80 when allowed and got 27 mpg over 2000 miles. The ride and driving comfort was a 10. Inever got tired. Passing acceleration is amazing (70+ to over 100). It handles like it is on rails. Nothing comes close in the 25-30K range. Then there is the safety and handling associated with the All wheel drive! After 11,000 miles it is as tight as a new car. Original tires and wheel are more than adequate. I recently replaced them with 17" OZ wheels and Pirelli Pzero Neros.

The 04 WRX is tight - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By MonkeyMan - December 17 - 10:00 amI just bought my new 2004 last week and all I can say is, WOW. It may be the smoothest, most fun to drive car Ive ever driven. I actually had given up on the 03 WRX cause I didnt care for the front design of the car with the bug-eye looking headlights and all. Then I saw the 04 at a big dealer show in my area a couple weeks ago and I didnt even realize it was a WRX. Subaru did a hell of a job on redesigning the body to make it more pleasing to the eye. Of course rear passanger space and cargo room are limited, which is why I got the sports wagon but thats fine with me since Ill only be in the drivers seat.

Goodbye Passat - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By Seattle - December 12 - 10:00 amI traded in my 1999 Passat V6. Was rather tired of the Bosch electrical drama all the time. I am only down 25hp from the 190 V6 in the Passat and it tracks far better (AWD) and handles about the same! Exterior wind noise is minimal and interior sound deadening is wonderful....like the Passat. The safety I feel is there as well. Just to know the engine will submarine under me in an accident and there are imbeded roll bars in the door coupled with good crash test has me hooked. The boxer engine reminds me of my BMW motorbike........smooth and durable ( I hope).

The muscle car killer - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By Peleg - November 23 - 2:00 amThis car is just pure amazing. It can out accelerate almost any rival, it handles like a dream on turns and can stop on the dime. The interior is very nice, the seats, steering wheel, pedals, everything. The exterior speaks for itself. If youre looking for an ultra high performance sedan, that is practical and reliable, starting under 30K, you must check this car.

Its a performance bargain... - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By Magicjnkie - November 18 - 10:00 amWhats not to love about an all-wheel drive 227 hp turbocharged wagon? With its boxer flat 4 engine mounted down low...you can actually feel where the center of gravity is...down low where, combined with the AWD system, promotes the amazing grip that this car displays. No matter what the road conditions, the driver stays in control. Yeah, this wagon hauls...

Rocket - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By wrxne1 - October 24 - 10:00 amSo much power, much better technology especially in the diffs) than the EVO. Amazing car in all ways. For the money, the best sports car you can buy. If you want the car is much more tunable than an EVO because of the larger displacement and lower boost. Great car.

2004 Impreza 2.5 RS - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By Suby04 - October 18 - 2:00 amAwesome looks and style. Subaru growl Sporty, fast, reliable. A little annoyed with the slight vibration on the highway which is said to be "normal" for "v" rated tires and the sport suspension. The AWD system has since dissapointed me a little after our 1st snowstorm this weekend. The rear wheels spin even under low acceleration, and so the rear fishtails - worse on cornering. Traction was there but not as i have known in the past. The ABS system is awesome in the snow though Other than that i just love it!

Fine Vehicle - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By Dick990 - October 12 - 2:00 amI have leased a 97 Imprezza for 3 years. I bought a 2000 Imprezza and drove it until I bought the current car. The only thing that has ever gone wrong was a burned out LED on the cruise control switch on the 2000. I lived with that with no problem. These are wonderful small cars getting an easy 32+ mpg on the highway. I will be moving on to a Forester because I am getting old and like the additional safety
