2001-2007 Subaru Impreza WRX 5 Door review
The Subaru Impreza WRX is a vehicle for people who view driving as a passion, not mere transport. Outstanding engineering – including the Active Valve Control System, to ensure optimum power delivery from the 2.0-litre turbocharged engine – is at the heart of every Impreza WRX. With credentials drawn directly from Subaru’s highly successful rally programs, it’s a winner in every respect.
Impreza WRX has an air of no-nonsense drivability from the moment you slide into the seat. The distinctive height adjustable bucket seats are just the beginning. Beneath your hands lie the curve of a MOMO leather steering wheel, a leather gear knob and leather hand brake lever. Impreza WRX also sports rally-style aluminium pedals.
In front of you, the smooth lines of the dash are highlighted with white instrumentation and controls, which have been ergonomically positioned to help keep your eyes on the road. Cruise control, power steering, windows and mirrors, semi-automatic air-conditioning and remote central locking are all standard. And – a bonus for a high-performance sports car – there is ample head and legroom in front and back, plus plenty of storage capacity for anything from shopping to snowboards.
Automatic Impreza WRX also offers sportshift, giving you the option to use the shifter stick to instantly change up or down a gear, via sophisticated electronic control.
