General Comments:

I am surprised about the lack of negative comments on this car. Buyer beware, check out Subaru forums or put Subaru Head Gasket in the search engine.

This car is a piece of junk. Bought it new with regular maintenance as per manual. Should have been recalls, but for some reason Subaru gets away with it on the head gasket issue.

A very expensive car to maintain. Exhaust system had to be replaced from the CATS back with all O2 sensors, a very expensive repair.

Oil pan is rusted out. Who the hell every heard of a rusted out oil pan on an 04 car?

Right rear CV joints had to be replaced at 60,000 miles. Unbelievable.

Faults:

Rear Shocker was replaced under warranty 21000 miles.

General Comments:

This car is a beauty, its handles and drives like a dream. The engine sounds are perfect, you can hear a Subaru coming.

The aggressive looks of this car finish off the cars styling. Everyone should own one.

Faults:

The clear coat was peeling from the bottom passenger front door. It was repaired and resprayed under warranty. The dealer even gave me a loaner for 3 days while the work was being done.

Just normal wear and tear otherwise.

However Bridgestone tires that come from the factory are terrible with grip and more aggressive driving.

General Comments:

Very fast acceleration.

All wheel drive works excellent in all types of weather.

Nothing has gone wrong with this car. If the reliability of my 1993 Legacy Sport Sedan is any indication, I won't have any reliability problems for years to come. My 1993 had over 282,000 miles when I traded it for the WRX.

General Comments:

I can see why the WRX won the World Rally Championship several years in a row. If I get any traffic tickets with this car, it will more likely be on the back roads rather than the highway. For more information go to the Subaru High Mileage Club at http://www.subaruhighmileageclub.com.

Faults:

I was driving on HWY and a car cut me off. I steered away to avoid a collision and rolled over my Impreza in the ditch. The front and read ends were collapsed, but just slightly dented on the roof. Witnesses were surprised that we (3) opened the doors and walked out of the car on our own. It wasn't any problems, just follow maintenance schedule. Engine light came on once due to gas cover wasn't tight. We replaced 2004 by 2006 Impreza; its getting better and better.

General Comments:

We like it, very safe and reliable car. Its never let us down, specially poor weather and road condition.
