I Love It, I Have Had It For Almost 3 Years Now And Dont Regret A Second Of It. — Performance: Mediocre out of the box but virtually any Subaru motor will bolt right into the engine bay Quality: I have 150,000 miles and I have replaced the valve cover gaskets and a maf sensor nothing else other than aftermarket mods. Appearance: I wasnt a fan of the two tone. I painted mine Aspen White from a 2004 WRX and threw on some white SSP Type C rims with a JDM front end and other add-ons Cost: I avg 25-30mpg per tank. Maintenance is very cheap Fun Factor: I love this car, I have it setup for AutoX and the fact that its a wagon is even better. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

Awesome Car For The Money. — Best two door coupe from the 90's in the American market in my opinion. It's spacious inside, comfortable to ride in, and it gets decent gas mileage. Subaru's reliability factor isn't a joke. Performance is great. Acceleration is respectable for an NA engine, but there are days that I wish it had a turbo. Handling is a dream. I've taken some pretty nasty country roads way faster than I should have, and I didn't once feel like I would lose control. Braking could be a bit better, but it's just fine for the power range that it has right now. She tops out at around 135. Not bad at all. I wish that Subaru had produced its early STi's for the American market. Someday I'm going to swap her out and put a JDM STi engine in there. Then, she'll be perfect. |

Good Overall Performance Car — "Darling, you're not driving very safely today," warns my missus as she experiences the superb lateral support offered up by the Subaru's bucket seats. "I bloody well am, sweetheart" I lie as this Impreza's recent power boost from 208 to 215bhp turns me into a hairy-handed maniac. The thrust available is just unbelievable. Turbo lag is all but absent, sequences of gearchanges morphing into one bounce against the rev limiter followed by another. Many twice-as-powerful cars can't match the Impreza's instantly-available surge in real-world driving conditions - an experience only heightened by this revised car's tweaks. So be warned that this much excitement on demand has extreme personality-twisting effects. "You know it's the driver who drives the car, not the car that drives the driver!" Plod warned me three years ago when I picked up my only ever points for speeding - in an Impreza Turbo, spookily enough. Ever since, I've tried my best to calm down. Until the Impreza came bursting violently back into my life, that is. I blame my huge confidence on its permanent four-wheel-drive system and on the superb (though not unbreakable) grip promised by its sticky 205/50 no-profile tyres on 16-inch wheels. This feeling that I can out-drive anything is affirmed by a gearchange that's quick and snappy, by steering that's light and easy to twirl. And the ABS-equipped brakes - now with ventilated discs all round and hard-biting four-pot callipers at the front - convince that they could handle the trickiest of situations. Even the Impreza's bargain price means it's free of the wallet-stressing pressure inflicted by looking after other similarly quick but vastly more expensive cars. Of course, the only reason I would advise anyone to yearn for an Impreza Turbo is if they could live with a car that actively encourages such extreme misbehaviour. I wouldn't try to convince them that it's a great beauty - fab 'up yours' rear spoiler aside. Or that the interior is anything other than deeply naff. Or, indeed, that a little bushy-tailed guardian of road safety won't be sitting on their shoulder and trying to persuade them to go slower each time they take their Impreza out for a naughty blast Peter Grunert |

ProsVery Very FUN ConsThe 98 25RS has the 2.5 DOHC motor which has a tendancy to blow up

Excellent Sports Car For Summer Or Winter — My car is so fun to drive. It handles corners like a dream and the 25RS can beat most cars off the line regardless of horsepower. The interior is very driver friendly with everything within easy reach. The best thing is its beautiful right from the factory. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

Subaru Made A Sexy Red Impreza Named Ruby — A great car for 164,000 miles. Some sources state there was only 400 RED 1998 RS coupes produced for all of North America. Don't be surprised if you never see a red Impreza RS in person. I love the color and the look of the classic Impreza. I'm looking to sell it soon for a Legacy. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

I'd Own Another One. I Was Happy With This Car. I Traded It In For My Mazda (upgrade). — I had the Impreza Sport Wagon in red. It was bone stock. I had plans to do some mods to it but never did. I liked the look of the RS coupe and wanted to give this wagon the same look (more like a rally car). It was fun to drive. Acceleration was good, braking was nice, handling was a blast. GO ALL WHEEL DRIVE! Many nights taking it through the windy west hills of Portland. Overall appearance of the stock model, so so. The Outback models were nicer. Interior had something to be desired. Maintence was inexpensive, and gas milage was really pretty good. Fun car to drive. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
