Used 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX Base for Sale near Chicago, IL

Handel's like a dream and just too much fun! Excellent acceleration Very solid, well-behaved, tight ride with little body lean, and not jittery or "rattly" at all. It reminds me of a BMW with sport suspension. Adjusting tire pressure allows you to choose between a more subdued ride and real road- hugging grip (I like 34 PSI). But the car is never soft and simply handles great. All-wheel drive means no wheel spin unless you really want it. Simply a superb car in the rain, even dashing through sitting water on the highway. It's good in snow also. Good ergonomics, easy dashboard.

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.

The "bug eye" was Subarus first foray into the world of cutting edge design, and the WRX's first attempt to "grow up". The MY01 brought a stiffer chassis and improved interior features, but due to the polarising design and slightly worse acceleration times, it was poorly received by many fans. The MY02 as seen here received improved gear ratios and a suretrac rear LSD to address these issues, but in reality the issues hardly needed addressing anyway. The MY02 WRX is a seriously quick car, especially point-to-point on a twisty mountain road. All wheel drive traction gives it the edge off the line, out of corners, and everywhere if it's wet, and makes up for any lack lustre handling issues.

Love it.. power,fun to drive,easily upgrade

There is absolutly nothing I dislike about this car. It is great on gas, fun to play around in ,fast and overall great car! I searched for years to find the buglight wrx and I would not trade it for anything.
