What Owners are Saying About the 2003 Subaru Impreza

"My best friend"

"Nothing could have seperated me from my little Zippy ((yes, I did name my car)). I bought her when she was already a little old and a little beat up, but I'd be a liar if I didn't say she was the most dependable car I ever had. Probably not everyone's dream car but if myself, and my giant Great Pyrenees could enjoy her compact yet still spacious style and capabilities, I think anyone could learn to love this little car. Unfortunately I've recently I lost her in a bad wreck, and she will be dearly missed."

"Happy in my Subbie"

"I’m happy that I made my purchase of my 2004 Subaru Impreza Sport Wagon. I’ve been the only owner. Maintenance is all I’ve had to do on her. I’ve kept up with the maintenance, so she’s had no issues other than the engine light coming on from time to time. She fits into small parking spaces and doesn’t guzzle gas. At age 16 she is starting to rust even though she’s been garaged. This in New England, where cars have to put up with rugged weather. I love this car."

"A fantastic car with unmatched control"

"This car is easily my best purchase. I spent about 7k total for the purchase with new tires and all new fluids. The car runs like a dream and the stick is tight and the gear ratio is short but fun. The SAWD is just fantastic for any weather scenario and allows for high RPM launches, Not to mention the fantastic sound of that boxer engine :)"
