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.

Real Car for the Real World - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By drovemall - October 31 - 10:00 amWe purchased our 2004 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport Wagon after comparing many other cars using the following criteria in order:Price, safety,reliability,asthetics,handling and practicality.We found this car to beat all contenders easily and it handles superbly. Firm enough to take a hard turn with confidence and soft enough to soak up the small stuff. The non-turbo has 168 hp and is plenty for the weight of the car and not enough to get me into turbotrouble+low insurance! It gets great mileage for an AWD and runs smooth as silk. Built 100% in Japan. Runs like its on tracks and gives me TOTAL confidence after having to make 2 life saving evasive manuvers.

Canadian STi - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By omgreg - October 6 - 10:00 amIts GREAT ! The acceleration and handling are amazing and its ride and mileage is pretty good for a daily driver, although you can almost watch the gas needle move during "spirited" driving and the seat does get a bit uncomfortable for journeys over 4 or so hours.

MySTI - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By sneadc - October 6 - 10:00 amI traded a 2002 WRX for this car because I wanted to avoid the turbolag. I surely does that! I love the car and consider it the best pure performance vehicle Ive ever owned. Strengths are power, power, and more power. The ride is firm and fuel econ is fair as expected. Lack of available floor mats is a disgrace for a $32000 car but that is nit picking a great performance auto.

Excellent car for this price - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By wend - September 30 - 2:00 amGood horsepower, decent acceleration, excellent handling, spacious interior, fun and sporty looks makes it a good choice for anything under 20k. Go for the silver exterior color.

Hot Subaru - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By peter remy - September 24 - 2:00 amThis is the most fun Ive had driving since my college club racing days of driving Porsche Speedsters. Living in the Rocky mountains I cant think of a better car-snow,sleet,ice,rain and curvy roads. But you have to stay alert to drive this car.Due to the high torque and quick acceleration you have to judge road conditions before you stomp on it.

Lovin it - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By routedashf - September 24 - 2:00 amI got the OBS for AWD, performance, and price. The car is a blast to drive, even during break in (sub 4k rpm), has enough power to handle my daily driving, and plenty of cargo space for my recent move. It has great handling in snow and slush. I dont know why people complain about the stereo, maybe they shouldnt compare their old after market stereos to stock? Overall a great car with only a few improvements (see below).

I miss my WRX - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By itsjustmeLL - September 21 - 3:56 amI really miss how fun the wrx was to drive and how it handled so well! This is the best bang for your buck if you enjoy having fun when you drive for an affordable cost. Ive driven the G35 and 350Z and I like how this one handles and the control I had over it better. It was super easy to drive, parallel park, zoom in and out of traffic, change lanes, etc. I just thought it was time to get something more mature looking since I wear heels and skirts m-f. Another downer was the 91 gas because the turbo and the 20 mpg for such a little car.

M3 and C AMG Destroyer - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By Analic - September 19 - 10:00 amThis is a dream come true for all boys older enough to own a licsence. Power, speed, accelleration and oh baby looks that could take a thousand breaths away. This is an experience that can not be described in any words. So get down to a dealer and testdrive a wrx sti and experience life like never before

my black beauty - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By car enthuz - September 13 - 6:26 pmIve owned my 04 sti for about a year and have been pleased! Good everyday car, avg 20 mpg. Lowered so bumpy but drives like a dream. My water pump went out resulting in overheating, resulting in a header job at about 100k mi so keep an eye out for that. Had I caught the overheat before I did, she coulda been spared the trama. The good news, I have an xs exaust and wow, the sound! Ive taken down (in speed and sound) many a mustang gt, gto, RTcharger and many v8 trucks with all kinds of loud exhausts. The sound isnt a cheap "bumble bee in a can" sound, its a full "Im eating your soul" sound. I even put it up to a 1976 stingray (vet) I won, mutually.

practical performance - 2004 Subaru Impreza
By yukn - August 30 - 10:00 amThe best car Ive driven on tight, twisty roads. Suspension is much stiffer than my 98 M3. Changing the throttle between slightly-on/off seems to disproportionately affect the cars line. Practical around town - easy to drive in traffic! Lots of road noise, some minor dash rattles.
