    About the Subaru Impreza

 basic history
scroll down for Updates

Made by Fuji (Subaru) in Ota, Japan. Introduced in 1993, the Impreza has consistently been top rated. Over the years is has been available in 2, 4 and 5 door models, with all wheel drive or front wheel drive. Engines offered have been a 1.8L, 2.2L, and 2.0L, after 2002 only the 2.5L.

UPDATES

6/30- earthquake related inventory shortages continue
While the earthquake was mid-March, the effect of the factory closures and part shortages is only now fully impacting dealer inventory. For the past few months, cars already in the system and/or enroute before the earthquake have continued to arrive. Now that those cars have already arrived, dealers are expecting far fewer cars than they need. Supply varies by car line, but overall the selection available will be less, and especially so of more popular models, packages or colors that sell quickly anyway.
When dealers don't have as many new cars to sell, they don't get as many trade-ins. When there aren't as many trade-ins, auction cars tend to sell at higher prices, so this temporary shortage has a ripple effect..

5/27/11-
Subaru has conflicting statements about Recommending vs Requiring synthetic or regular oil.
> Synthetic is required on all 2011 turbo and 2.5L Foresters
> Outback, Legacy, Tribeca, Impreza, (exc turbos)- Some owners manuals will recommend using synthetic but not require it. Owners manuals printed around March 2011 presumably indicate all Subarus require synthetic oil.
2011 maintenance schedule

4/11/11 Factory orders end for 2011s-
Factory orders are no longer accepted for any 2011 vehicle. This is normal as 2011 model production winds down and starts the shift to 2012,  and also to better manage limited parts and resources after the March 11 earthquake. In late March, some lower volume Outback and Legacy models had been already removed from the order list- manual transmissions, 3.6Rs, uncommon Option Packages.

3/28/2011 The new optional 10" powered Subwoofer by Kicker is now showing up on cars. It definitely puts out some sound! See photos above. Not available with cargo nets and cargo trays (or snip the tray to fit),  or the underseat subwoofer.  Removes easily to access the spare tire

1/28/2011 new accessories..
Impreza- gets a new 10", powered, 100w stereo subwoofer, available on all models. Fits cargo area (5 door) or trunk (4 door). Made by Kicker. List price installed $543. Also available from your parts dept. Not available with cargo tray or seatback cargo net, or the subwoofer that fits under the driver seat.
Impreza and Legacy sedan- new rear bumper protector, available on all Legacy and Impreza sedans (though it could work on any model). Sits folded up on the trunk floor, and then you unfold and pull it over the rear bumper to protect the bumper when you might briefly rest something on it while loading cargo etc.

12/6/10- Power Outlet. 110v, 100w 2 prong power outlet now available on Impreza and Forester, previously on Outbank and Legacy only. 2 pront outlet like at home. No more car chargers for cell phones, laptops etc. In back of center console. See photos above.

11/27/10 Spark plug replacement interval   on all 2011 Outback, Legacy, Forester, Impreza 4 cylinder non-turbo, turbo, and 6cylinder, the spark plug replacement interval is now 52,500 miles, 52.5 months, or 84000km.

Gone Paprika Red Pearl over Silver after only one model year, and Sage Green over Silver

Note, August 2010 - both the 2 tone Paprika/silver and Sage green/silver colors above that have been dropped and are not available on the 2011 Outback Sport, were on a few 2011s at the very start of the model year.

Towing Towing a trailer- is not recommmended with an Impreza and no factory trailer is available. Unofficially, if you are going to tow with an Impreza anyway, check and maintain all fluids and tune-up specs, and keep weight and speeds down, and of course have a reputable hitch installer install it on your car. Warranties might be affected by towing.

Towing the car - a flatbed is always recommended when towing your Subaru. A manual transmission can be towed with all wheels on the ground behind a tow truck or motorhome for example, but never with just 2 wheels on the ground.
An automatic should only be towed on a flatbed with all wheels off the ground. In a total emergency it can be towed with all 4 wheels on the ground for a very short distance only, and very slowly. Never with just 2 wheels on the ground

Notes

updated 11/9/10 Forester and Impreza Sky Blue Metallic and Paprika Red Pearl colors have limited availability, effective November, 2010. This might be temporary or permanent but If you want one, now is the time....

Leather is not available on the Impreza 2.5, Premium or Outback Sport. Your dealer can have a leather interior installed for you.
Its hard to get accurate colors so it's always best to look at a car with that color even if not the same model. You'll find many photos of the cars at the top of this page

How to get a car
inventory, dealer trade, ordering

Inventory -   Dealers are offered cars for inventory a month or so in advance. The quantity can vary from month to month. Most cars will have a  extra options or upgrades and usually these are features that are popular in the area.  Some, but only a few, will not have any extras at all. Cars in stock are available for immediate purchase and dealers might be more motivated to move them.

"Dealer trade" or "locate". This is when a dealer looks for a vehicle in another dealer's inventory and then trades cars, ie swaps cars, with that dealer.
This means the requesting dealer has to have a car the other dealer will accept back in trade.
There are many people at the dealerships and at Subaru involved in the process.
The vehicle is usually driven from the other location. This can take place within days if a vehicle is already in stock someplace.

Pre-sell, incoming: You wait for a vehicle the dealer already has incoming in their system.

Order:
If you really want a specific vehicle, you can order it. Subaru requires customer information and a deposit.
Once ordered Subaru will give an expected delivery Month.
Within 2-5 weeks, there will be date, an ETA, an estimated time of arrival.  This is not a promise the car will there on a specific day or week and the frequently changes. Your dealer can watch for updates.

Orders are filled as the right model, tranmission, and color is available, on a first order in, first filled  basis.
Usually a vehicle arrives at a dealer within 5-10 weeks (typically 7-8), but delays can happen at any point along the assembly and shipping process, so be patient.
If you are requesting a popular car with a waiting list, or an uncommon car,  it can take longer.

If a certain individual option or accessory is not available for installation, the car will still be sent to the dealer. The accessory can then be added by the dealer but the cost might change.
The dealer wants you to get your car as quickly as you want to get it!
