2002 Subaru Impreza WRX User Reviews

Subaru Wrx 2002 — Performance is incredible. With simple mods and the factory AWD system, this ride corners like a pro and takes off the line with top grip. As far as the build quality, it's one of the most reliable and cheap to repair cars on the road. With that in mind, it's not an expensive car nor is it built like one. The roof is hollow and rain is loud on it. But if your engine is as loud as it should be, you won't even hear the rain when you're driving. Gas mileage is hard to estimate because the tank is so small, you are constantly filling up, however, it only costs about $45 a tank for 93. Fun fact, on a scale of 1-10 is a 15. AMAAAZING sound with the right exhaust. I would swear it's not a 4 cylender. I would recommend this car to anyone who loves to drive fast, have a great sounding motor, glue tight cornering, and not too much money. If you have money, buy a BMW. If not, Subaru is the way to go for sure.

2002 Subaru Impreza Wrx Wagon — Bought new in May 2001. A good blend of performance and practicality. Has been very reliable with no major mechanical issues. Not the most fuel efficient due to AWD. If you want luxury and high style look elsewhere.

2002 Subaru Impresa Wrx: First Incarnation In Us — I love my WRX, but sometimes it doesn't love me back. This cars' performace really is as good as they say it is, but it has cost me a small fortune to keep it that way. There is a permenent alignment problem. There is a persistant fuel smell problem. I spent $3000 to fix the 2nd gear sincro. I spent another to grand for one fuel injector. There have been multple computer updates. You may think I beat on this thing, but that is far from the truth. To give you an idea how much I baby it, I can say I went 80,000 miles on the original brakes. As much trouble as it has been, it is everything I expected and more. This car has over 100,000 miles on it, is completly stock, has the original turbo, and will still blow the doors off many cars.

Bamf — Great bang for the buck, although nowadays most cars have 200+hp. This car is all about performance, if you want luxury go buy a Hyundai. Also, a great car to tune. I have upgraded the suspension as handling is most important to me, so I can blow by cars as they have to slow down for the curves.

Quick Little People Carrier — I have the automatic trans. so acceleration from 0 kind of sucks. But i've put this little car through it's paces and it rules.
