Good Points: I have a 99 Subaru Impreza outback sport and it is uber-cool, it is the best cars for a college guy. its high rpm (142hp 5600 rpm 150tq 3600rpm) and fuel economy of 23city/29-30highways it is rad. Driving the car is a rush and the crazy handling in curves man I never......it is like a dream. It great growl leave people staring at my car. I even could keep up with a non turbo v8 engine vehicle. I love the fog light on and off switch. best part is that I will increase the fuel consumption by at least 8mpg and add extra 60 hp (no turbo area I live is a suburb and lots of kids and police knows all resident for security). Perfect handling Massachusetts snow and rain and I don't need to slow down.
Bad Points: I hate the factory rims and tires plan to change that. Hate the stereo and speakers plan to change that. No sub... not good plan to add sub-box and subwoofer. hate the factory upper roof spoiler plan to add a sti upper roof spoiler.
General comments: More power and torque from the 2.2-liter engine highlight the in the Subaru Impreza Wagon. Great all around, reliable, fun to drive. Cheap, AWD, performance, ergonmic interior, comfortable and fuel economic. Extra traction in slippery conditions and, works in combination with the Impreza's well-sorted chassis to provide excellent handling. For power, the car I notice has been equipped with a unusual horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine. BOTTOM LINE - Power: 106 kW / 142 HP @ 5,600 rpm/ 149 ft lb, 202 Nm @ 3,600 rpm. That is like so fantastic.

I have a 1999 Subaru Impreza turbo wagon and have driven new cars that dont drive as well. Fantastic car but expensive running cost but well worth it.

Love the cars they just last forever, they can take a good thrashing,the engine noise is brilliant and they just stick to the roads. Unlike the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo they don't need serviced every few thousand miles.

Well I have my 95 import and I love it having previously owned a 03 UK spec have to say the import although heavily modified is great car currently runs around 350bhp and flies I now do not bother racing anything unless it is worthy as it is not worth the fuel to show a corsa how fast it is cossies Evo's etc only.
I am looking at buying a cheap little car so I can prolong the life of the car and this is probably Subaru ' s only downfall I recently blew up my gearbox which is a 2002 model and hav ...

Just wanted to say from my point of view i owned a cossworth and an Impreza i now still have the impreza 98 sti 330 bhp best handling and all speed ect but lets all face it Subarus brake easily under constant rough use they cant handle the roughness for long most other cars can handle pain longer. End of the day impreza wins hands down from the noise out put of the engine full stop.

AWD - in the wet you still feel like your on rails. The
Subaru Impreza Turbo is quick, really quick. Momo steering wheel is amazing. Bucket seats great too. Wagon is good for surf boards! Brilliant.

We have had 2 different styles of scooby. 1st was the original 2.0sport wagon (we have dogs). The Subaru Impreza Turbo is great. Pretty quick, reliable and cheap for insurance. Then we opted for the WRX MK3. Bought it in a garage 450 miles from were we stayed. Picked it up and fell in love eith it after that. 1 year on both myself and my wife have 6 points and my mum who is 60 has 3 points, though even after this . Today when we all get in it and drive off, it puts a smile on our faces.

I have had my Subaru Impreza Turbo for 18 months and have had a Prodrive coversion via Subaru themselves - bhp up from 222 to 262!
0-60 in 4.8 secs and mid range acceleration is just bliss! The burble sound track is certainly satisfying.
If you are after Fun and have a family, this is the car.

Subaru Impreza Turbo: You get pushed back into your seat as you pull away and then at 3000 rpm the Turbo kicks in and psshhh......off you go.
This is a seriously fun, fast car for sensible cash. Mine was an import at 225BHP, now 260BHP (officially) 0-60 in 5.6secs and tops out at 155mph (on a track of course).
Drive one and then you'll want to buy it, I was messing about when I said I wanted one. Drove my friends not believing a word she said. The following day I went and collected my own! ...

I have had many cars ranging fro Peugot 106 xsi, 306 xsi, escort rs2000 to the jag i still have and this Subaru Impreza Turbo 1999 is the best car io have driven. sounds like a v8 with the growl. If you have not driven one, you should. It will make you go and buy one.

Just bought a 02 Subaru WRX STI. Now i know what you are thinking, you can't get that car in the states. Well its the only one I know of. Let me just say it cost a pretty penny. I am so amazed at the performance of this car. The handling is awsome. I would have to say this is the fastest stock car for under a hundrad grand.
Magnificant.

Had this car 8 months, cheap servicing, 17mpg regardless of how its driven, handles "like its on rails", no brake fade or faults, leaves everyone else for dead. If you want a rocket ship on wheels this is the car. Have owned many GTi's etc nothing comes close, so much fun, if you don't believe me - drive one !!

Nice car for the money,but its a bit ugly but power wise its a sweet car.Tuning is ok for it but alot of money need to go for big bhp numbers.

I have owned many cars. Have loved others more (Calibra) than the Subaru Impreza Turbo, but none comes close to the neck snapping performance of this animal of a car. I have NEVER driven a car that can make you believe you are flying, you are also invincible of course!! You can choose your gap in traffic, you can arrive late at a roundabout and be round and gone before anyone else has even noticed you WERE there!! It REALLY IS that fast.
Everyone should be made to own one!! It should be a legal ...

You will never hit the limits of the Subaru Impreza Turbo car on a public road. Hit 3000rpm and ride the massive power/torque rush - but unlike many cars with big power outputs, the stiff chassis can handle it, and the four-wheel-drive grip won't let go.
This car can be economical if the driver keeps the engine
below ~3000rpm and minimises hard acceleration. Difficult, but not impossible!
Only other minor complaints would be the braking (on pre-99 cars with 2-spot front calipers - later c ...

Well, I used to love my V-Tec CRX but the women in my life ganged-up on me and insisted that I grow up and get a "proper four door family car" ..so what else could it be other than a WRX ('95 five door wagon, silver used import ex Japan). Well I don't think that they've noticed the "funny bumps on the bonnet" yet.
I collected it on Jan 1 2002 and promptly bought a K&N air filter, a pack of MOBIL 1 oil and oil-filter, a turbo boost controller (set to .8 bar approx 12psi) and a low pressure 't ...

It was 3 months ago a total stranger decided to pull out in front of my Honda Integra and wipe the front end out. So, in desperate need of another car I went to a local auction. In the back of my mind I had always wanted a WRX to find out what all the fuss was about and just my luck there was one on offer. It was actually a green '98 wagon. Not the one for the "station wagon" look I got it because of two things, 1. Price, 2. WRX.
Actually I love the wagon, the boot is 100 times more practicl ...

A frighteningly fast car with handling and road holding to match its performance. Very practical too with 4 doors and a large boot. I used to own a V6 Calibra until my wife ordered me to get a more practical car so I got the Impreza. The only downside of owning the car (besides fuel consumption, which it to be expected) is that the body panels are very thin and pick up parking dints very easily. Apart from that I have been very pleased with the car.
