2004 Impreza Outback Sport

I love my 2004 Impreza Outback Sport. It’s safe, spacious, and does all that I ask it to. Great in the snow and a blast on curvy backroads. Handles great. The only modification I’ve done is that I’ve put 2.5rs / WRX 5 spoke alloys on it. Same size as the original so no change in performance. This would make a great first car too.

Projects and money pits.

They're beautiful. Fun. Spacious and comfortable. They look good and and can turn heads. POS and junk though. Money pits for sure. A fun project. Would buy again

The best car I've ever driven

It does everything! An absolute blast to drive, plenty of power and excellent handling, all-weather capability and you can throw your bike in the back. It even works as a family car, when the kids are small! Plenty of legroom & headroom up front, really intuitive controls, quality interior. Very easy to get to know this car and wow does it drive well.

Loved to drive this car!

Safe and reliable with a sporty performance. Handled well under all conditions. Has a great sound system also. Was a fun car to just get out and enjoy a drive.

We looked for months for this subi

It was a HUGE score for this wrx. It only had 87k and it was an 05 and bought it for 7800. Love the cars.com app.

Good little car, noisy on the highway though.

I had the 2004 Impreza Wagon with the automatic transmission, for 12 years, and put 150 thousand miles on it. It was great for most things, my only real complaint was noise at highway speeds. It got old. It got decent mileage, used to get the EPA values (22 mpg city, 28 hwy). Maintenance was not expensive and it was a very DIY-friendly car. With studded snow tires it was unbeatable in snow.

College Car

Just purchased for my son to take to college. Have only owned for a week; but, had a great experience with the dealer and looking forward to having this car last all through the college years. Living in Upstate NY the AWD was vital to our needs in wanting to make sure our son was safe.

Super friendly dealer with good prices

George returned my phone call promptly, easy to deal with, great customer service! Good prices and solid service. Allowed me to take a car to the shop of my choice for inspection. Even gave me a ride back to return my rental car! All in all a great place to buy a car.

Best car i have owned or will ever own

its got the power. Its got the looks. Its got the comfort. These are just the general comments i can give you of this car. I have owned it for 4 years and have not had any problems. With a new exhaust and some nice mods like a turbo, this car can hit greater speeds than m3's and porsches
