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.

  best yet - 2004 Subaru Impreza
  By ShockWave - April 11 - 10:00 am

  I find it much more comfortable than my previous car (Ford Mustang). Its faster, safer, and gets better gas mileage. The boy racer wing is a bit much. I love the interior and seats. All the controls are within easy reach. The transmission is solid. The gears are very, very short. The engine is incredibly powerful. This is the greatest car I have ever owned by leaps and bounds.

  As Advertised! - 2004 Subaru Impreza
  By JoshinMN - April 10 - 10:03 am

  Exactly as advertised. Its powerful, its fun to drive. This car isnt meant to be a luxury car, so yeah, the rides harsh. But if you want luxury, buy some slow Cadillac. And the rides not all that bad, really. Theres a few quirks and things that Ive noticed, but the only unscheduled maintenance has been minor. I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am that I bought this car. If you have the money and want a fast, fun, car, THIS IS IT! You would not get me to trade this in for a Porsche, Vette, or M3 at any price. Maybe an E55 or M5, but that would be about it. And those are $50K more.

  Best Car I Have Ever Owned! - 2004 Subaru Impreza

  Superb performance and reliability. Looks unique to all the other wedge- shaped sports cars. A true all-season all-road road eating monster. :-)

  Subaru Homerun - 2004 Subaru Impreza
  By Branchman - February 28 - 10:00 am

  Still breaking engine in but already amazed by this cars potential. Hard to depress gas more than half an inch and not go over 4000 rpm. Excellent powerband in all 6 gears. Subtle yet powerful-sounding rumble from exhaust. My WRX sportwagon was an eyeopener, but this car soars to new heights!

  Great car with room for improvement - 2004 Subaru Impreza
  By dronchi - February 15 - 4:00 am

  This car is a great compromise. As such however there is no one thing that it does particularly well. For instance, acceleration is great, but the engine is prone to detonation with California 91 octane gas. Handling is decent, but the car feels a bit heavy. Noise levels are fairly low, but the stearing response is somewhat mushy due to soft bushings. If you are looking for a racer, this may not be the car for you. If you are looking for a practical car that is fun to drive then you should take a look at this car. One thing I will say is that Ive beaten the crap out of this car by driving like mad most of the time and the care still runs great.

  A complete review through 120,000 miles - 2004 Subaru Impreza
  By 2004ILWRX - February 3 - 6:40 am

  A fun and safe vehicle that has been for the most part very reliable. A blessing to drive one of these in IL winter. Problems that Ive had: Tend to go through car battery every 2 years. Engine serpentine belt pulley/tensioner replaced at 80K Engine short block replaced at 115k ($elf induced) Paint is very thin and prone to chips. On average I get 22.4 mpg with includes a good mixture of highway and local driving.
