Used 2004 Subaru Impreza Wagon Consumer Reviews
More fun than my 2000 BMW 328i
What a great car! I got the 2004 Impreza WRX Wagon for my fiance, and now I'm sad ...coz I'd rather drive it than my loaded Beemer 328i! The Subaru isn't luxurious, but it's built like a tank and the performance is awesome. The only downside to this car is throttle response, due to the fact we got the auto tranny (Mrs. can't drive stick) and the engine is a turbo afterall. But once the RPMs get over 4000 it goes like a rocket, power builds nicely and you're soon going too fast with a big grin. Can't wait to get out the WRX on some twisties this weekend!
The '04 WRX is tight
I just bought my new 2004 last week and all I can say is, WOW. It may be the smoothest, most fun to drive car I've ever driven. I actually had given up on the '03 WRX cause I didn't care for the front design of the car with the bug-eye looking headlights and all. Then I saw the '04 at a big dealer show in my area a couple weeks ago and I didn't even realize it was a WRX. Subaru did a hell of a job on redesigning the body to make it more pleasing to the eye. Of course rear passanger space and cargo room are limited, which is why I got the sports wagon but that's fine with me since I'll only be in the drivers seat.

My Colorado Car
After moving to Colorado recently, I parted with my 2002 Jeep Wrangler to seek a more cost-efficient source of transportation that would also do well in the Rockies. After driving SUV's over the past ten years, I settled on my first "car" in a decade. It was a Subaru Outback Sport Wagon, and I drove it for a year and loved it. It carried my dog , bikes, snowboards, and camping gear all year with aplomb in all manner of weather. A raise in my salary coincided with a WRX test drive, and back I went to the dealership. What I got was the same, solid Subaru Boxer- powered vehicle with 25%+ more power, and incredible handling. Fantastic car!
Just what I wanted!
I love the AWD. For a small car, it has enough energy to get on to a highway without difficulty.
Sport and Utility
This is my second Subaru, after owning a 2 door impreza L I found I needed a little more room. The rear folding seats allow for enough carry space to allow me to haul most of what I need around, and works perfect for transporting equipment for my job. On the weekends is when this car really shines, has enough power and grunt to keep me happy through the twisties, as well as on an autoX course.
