2002 Subaru Impreza WRX User Reviews

Overview —

Best car I've owned. Reliability for me is a whole new game, as I've modified the hell out of the car. I modify it, I beat on it, it breaks. Such a hobby drains my bank account, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I cant say much about the reliability of a stock WRX, as thats something I've never really experienced over any period of time. For performance, this thing will go like a bat out of hell (loudly), stop on a dime, and turn like its on rails. In the summer, I run fairly wide autocross tires. Its a rough ride, to say the very least. In the winter, I run Blizzacks, and never once have I gotten stuck in the snow. For some people, the interior leaves some to be desired. As far as I'm concerned, it has cruise control, AM/FM radio, and an in-dash 6-disc changer. The back seats aren't exactly built for an adult male, but I dont have to worry about that. As for appearance, the car is uglier than hell, and I dont let anyone tell me otherwise. However, I built the thing to be obnoxious. Big hood scoop, bigger wing, loud horns, loud exhaust, electronic cutout, external wastegate with an open dump tube, and as of recently, a loud transmission. It is all around obnoxious. And lastly, the fun factor. Well, lets just say theres a fair number of people who wont ride in my car. Whether it be a straight line or a twisty back road, the temptation to floor the gas pedal is an undying desire, despite how much I tend to do it.

2002 Subaru Impreza Wrx — My car is so fun to drive...best car I have owned. It's a lot faster with the upgraded exhaust, downpipe, blow-off valve, and a bigger top mount innercooler. Won't recommend the car though if you want a lot of room, or good gas mileage. This car standard get 21 MPG on highway and it's a 4 cylinder...but that's the price I pay for having a fun car.

Suby Wooby Doooooo — When I drive the car it is like poetry in motion. I love everything about it. The pick up, the handling, and the way hugs the road. It is easy to work on, fun to drive, the girlfriend loves it too. Its a great car with both top performance and it still has great mileage.

Wrx — Bloody fast, handles well, eats petrol!! £10 grand car stopped by a £1 relay!!! Dodgy front end, gorgeous from every other angle. Expensive to run, servicing costs ecessive shop around, quoted £900 to replace a clutch!! Good on tyres surprisingly! Everyone should own one once! Never catch me in a people carrier!!!!!!! NEVER!NEVER!!

A Rally Car For The Masses — Between its rally heritage and bulletproof reliability, there's simply no substitute for a Subaru. Especially in wagon trim, the WRX is enough of a sleeper so as not to attract the attention of the 5-0, but once the turbo spools, hang on. Equally at home on the racetrack or on a logging road.
