by B-ROCK
Jan 13 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: price is a steal, looks, AWD
Cons: deciding the color

I was recently helping my bestfriend buy a car and we happen to come across the Subaru 2.5 RS. This is one great piece of machine. Eventhough he changed his mind about purchasing this car, I still feel that he passed up on a great car. I have to admit...

by bayp
Aug 14 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Fun/Safe Car, sharp looks
Cons: A bit pricey, radio controls in an odd spot

Ok, ok.. I saw this car and fell in love with it. I think that is one of the first things that people tell you NOT to do when you are on a new car lot.. To be completely honest, when I was on the lot, I had NO intent of buying anything. I was just there...

Nice little Car

by o_utkin
Mar 15 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Good Price for Performance
Cons: Needs a little more power

In sum, the Impreza RS's drivetrain/suspension combination makes a reasonably sophisticated package. A few subcompacts are smoother, and more refined in the details. Yet the RS comes with more entertainment value, and more character, than a Ford Escort...

Cons: Lame stereo, ride could be too firm for some people

I just bought a new Subaru Impreza Wagon L, and I am really amazed at this car! It is my first new car, prior to this I was driving a rusty '84 Chevy wagon. This car seriously amazes me and I definitely recommend it to anyone. It's a car with...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Good Power, All-Wheel Drive, Good Handling, Unique
Cons: Could Use More Power, Notchy 5-speed Tranny, No Trunk Light

I first learned of the Subaru Impreza 2.5RS when visiting the local Subaru dealer to look at the Outback wagon. I took it for a test drive and fell in love.

The Impreza looks different from anything out on the road today....

Small details make the difference

by serlin2
May 19 '02 - Updated Jul 23 '04 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Tourqey engine...handles well...look is unique...
Cons: Paint peels on plastic front fascia/hood...no trunk light...limited room...requires above average maintenance
The Bottom Line: Potentially a fantastic car, could be a dream come true...however, difference between average and awesome cars is in the details, and here, Subaru has missed the mark. Caveat emptor.

Am I satisfied with my Subaru? Yes. Could they have done a better job by paying attention to the little details? Yes. I have owned my Impreza 2.5RS (auto, 4dr) for a little over 4 years, and in that time, I have been very impressed with the ...

Pros: small, fast, all-wheel drive, roomy
Cons: tight suspension

I bought a 2000 Subaru Impreza wagon in April of this year. I hadn't intended to buy this car, I wanted a Chrysler PT Cruiser. But once I saw the car and then drove the car, I knew this was the car for me.

First of all, even though it is a...

The advantages of this car are as follows: The 2000 Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS is one of the sportiest looking cars on the road today. Not only is it sporty but it's also practical for everyday driving. The vehicle has a lot of ground clearance, due to the ...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Sporty look, yet dependable and safe
Cons: People don't think about sports cars when they think of Subaru

First of all let me say that I wasn't sure about the morality of a person who sells a brand of vehicle writing a review on that brand. But then I considered this little tidbit of information. I also sell other vehicles and I am not writing a review of...

Pros: Superior AWD, Boxer Engine, good horsepower, torque-y, comfortable, stylish, availability of performance upgrades.....
Cons: ??? there are probably a few, but I didn't drive it long enough to find them

Okay, I went into town today to look for the little metal clamps that hold my hubcaps onto the wheels. First I tried the local auto parts store, and they referred me to the dealer. After going to the dealer's, I found that no replacement clamps could...

Feb 14 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: AWD, flat-four engine, looks, and the list goes on!
Cons: Cheap interior materials, crapola sound system.
The Bottom Line: Best car in the sub $25K market!

I have been in love with the Impreza for years. In fact, I researched this car for about two years before I actually went out and bought it. I considered many factors and tried to find the "perfect car" under $25k. I came to the conclusion that nothing...

Pros: peppy engine, great handling, comfort, good controls
Cons: dopey cup holders, a/c not very powerful

I just got the Outback Sport in May, and am extremely happy! It is very peppy, and more comfortable than I had expected. Gas milage is good, but not as good as my Corolla. I have NEVER felt so secure driving in a rainstorm as in the Sport. The cup...

2.5 RS Coupe

by lightweight
May 08 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Excellent handling and traction, torque, ergonomics, good balance
Cons: Back seat doesn’t fold down, could use more power, OEM stereo is weak
The Bottom Line: Super all-weather driver's car: not as fast as the WRX nor as expensive as an all-rad Porsche.

This is quite the little car. Its handling if anything beats the (legendary) RX-7 whose space it has taken in my garage, and on slick surfaces the Subaru is simply amazing (best I’ve ever driven). Front seat and driver’s ergonomics are basically perfect,...

Pros: Fuel use, styling, power, handling
Cons: trunk, back seat room

My experience with the 2000 model RS has been so far excellente. Impreza is so interesting because it uses AWD, while the next mid-size/sub compact car with 4 wheel drive costs about twice as much. The new hood is tres cool. Even though the hood scoop...

My first car, the one I learned to drive with, was a full-sized Ford Bronco. My second (college-student) car was a Plymouth Acclaim. The entire time in college, I dreamed of a Subaru Impreza Outback Sport purely on the looks. I loved the boxy, almost...

2000-2001 Impreza 2.5rs

by Nefra
Mar 19 '01 - Updated Mar 20 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: peppy, cornering ability, stylish look, and absolutely fun to drive
Cons: bad cup hold locations, no trunk light, small center console
The Bottom Line: This car is for the single person looking for fun and reliability, not to mention being able to sweep past all other cars in the middle of a snowstorm.

I worked at a ford dealership for over three years, driving just about anything imaginable (other than ford from the used car lot). I had driven a few imports, but wasn't to impressed with the ride or interior space.
I was driving a 92 explorer and...

I bought the RS25 Impreza about 4 months ago, because of it's great performance, adequate interior, and massive amounts of headroom (I'm 6' 4") and love it.

In the past few months I have put over 10,000 miles on the car, with zero...

This has to be the definative hottest saloon around.
Think about it. Its basically a wolf in Sheeps clothing.

They call it a Pocket Rocket
by katana_burner  
Oct 22 '06 
Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Quick, Never Gets Stuck, Sweet Looking, and Cheap!
Cons: Wish it was a few years younger.
Subaru once called their line of Imprezas the "Pocket Rocket". I'm not sure if anyone is going to read this review but here goes.

I own a 2000 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport wagon. Yeah that's a mouth full. Let's just call it a Scooby! (No not like Scooby Doo unless you're my friend Claire.)

Well all I have to say is that this car MOVES and it NEVER gets stuck! It's really great and the QUICK! I checked out the newer models and they're cool too but I like mine cause well...IT'S MINE! Actually I like mine better cause I got it used and all the things that could go wrong with it did and got it replaced before I got it. And now nothing is wrong with it. Just gotta watch out for the fuzz.

If this Scoobie ever dies I'll be sure to get another one. It's the best car I have ever driven and I live in the Lake Tahoe area! Cheers!

VERY IMREZ-IVE
by digidoo  
Feb 28 '05 
Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Handling & Cornering like it's on rails, State-of-the-Art All Wheel Drive
Cons: Rubber trim on passenger door needed replacing after over 4 years. That's it.
I'm the original owner of a 5 year old (as of May '05) Subaru Impreza 2.5RS in Blue Ridge Pearl. I still love my car as if it were yesterday. In my opinion, you can't get more bang for your buck or be driving a Rally Rocket 'cult status' car for this kind of money anywhere else! To this day, I still have people in gas stations or next to me on the street asking me about my car.
It's a great all season performer!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT ******!

Nov 26 '04 
Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: AWD, awesome steering, brakes, really grips the road, a safe ride, comfortable, really fun!
Cons: soundsystem, comfortably fits 2 in the back seat, cupholder locations, windshield wiper(s) speeds, lightweight car
I absolutely love this car... It handles so well. Very dependable car. AWD is always there for you for weather conditions (snow, rain, fog...). Takes corners well, makes tight turns (U-turns), 5-speed has good acceleration, great gas mileage, stops on a dime, and is sporty looking... I would recommend this car and ANY Subaru to anyone! BUILT TO LAST!
