basic history
Made by Fuji (Subaru) in Ota, Japan.
Introduced in 1993, the Impreza has consistently
been top rated. It is about the size of a Corolla or Civic. Over the years
is has been available in 2, 4 and 5 door models, with all wheel drive or
front wheel drive. Engines offered were a 1.8L and 2.2L.
2005: Available May 05. Price increase on cars delivered to dealers starting 9/04. The low priced TS wagon renamed RS wagon and the RS sedan/wagon are the lowest price Subaru for 05. The RS sedan has actually dropped in price. New models: RS sedan has optional Sport Package model and Outback Sport has optional Special Edition (SE) package available August 2004. New colors.
2004: Minor and positive changes
to the RS, TS, Outback models which was substancially remodeled in 2002.
Changes include a new look to the dashboard components (vents, guages etc),
upgraded brakes with EBD, Active front headrests, central power lock switch,
no key hole in rear gate (wagons), new head and tail lights.
New colors, san Remo Red and Java Black.
New WRX STi model available
2003: very few changes. TS gets cruise control, RS and Outback get keyless entry and dual vanity mirrors, RS gets trunk light, WRX gets illuminated ignition key ring and new limited production Sonic Yellow. Yellow is available in both sedan and wagon, but the sedan is only available with the rear spoiler and has a separate model code. App 1,500 yellow WRXs will be made.
2002 is the first major re-design of the Impreza line.
1993-2003? Visit the Archives
Impreza fits many budgets and lifestyles.
Same size as the Toyota Corolla, Honda
Civic, Ford Focus etc
Impreza offers Subaru dependability, is
the one of the few compact wagons available and is the only such vehicle
to offer all-wheel-drive.
Standard 165 horsepower, anti-lock brakes,
air conditioning, CD player, power windows, locks and mirrors.
