1999 Subaru Impreza

Pros: AWD, RELIABLE, INEXPENSIVE, FUNCTIONAL

Cons: might not be sporty enough for some, slightly restrictive option packages

Review: 1999 IMPREZA OUTBACK SPORT 5 Speed

I recently test drove this car to compare it to the Audi A4 1.8T and several other Subaru's. On a scale from 1-10, I would give this car a solid 9.

The first thing to note is the difference...

Pros: Performance, handling, value for money, reliability

Cons: Baulky gearshift, poor fuel consumption, flimsy interior

Review: I live in Britain and have a new Impreza Turbo, model year 1999. This review is really about the performance aspect of the Impreza.

Previously I had a TVR Cerbera, arguably the quickest production car in the world. It was too impractical and...

Pros: It's a Subaru

Cons: Placement of cupholders, noise at high speeds

Review: I have been a fan of Subaru's since my brother bought a Legacy sedan back in '90. Since then, my mother has bought an Impreza in the mid 90's. I bought my Impreza Outback Sport Wagon (automatic) in Sept.'99 for my birthday.

What I love about...

Pros: AWD, fun to drive, Peppy powertrain, Simple interior

Cons: So-so styling, simple interior :)

Review: Imprezza. WOW. AWD, 5 spd, reliability, fun to drive, and inexpensive. Even the base model Imprezza L comes standard with AWD and a i-4 pumping out 142 horsepowere and 149 ft-lbs of torque, enough to make the light weight(around 2800 lbs) 2 door coupe...

Pros: Terrific handling in all types of weather!

Cons: A bit on the small side.

Review: I live in a region that experiences snow in the winter and wanted a vehicle that could handle adverse winter driving conditions AND could give me reasonable gas mileage. The 1999 Subaru Impreza wagon that I purchased was the only car on the market that...

Pros: cheap, AWD, performance, ergonmic interior, cormtable

Cons: not very common so lack dealers, lacks superoir interoir

Review: The biggest problem for me is where to start. AWD, the engine, the seat, the safetly, the cost are all great. this will include performance, interoir, problems (scatter thoughout), overall stuff and safety
If you have every driving a SUV and felt...

Pros: Quick, roomy, very stable on ice/snow/rain, good suspension

Cons: outside noise not dampened, a little wobbly in haevy wind

Review: I purchased my Impreza Outback in January of 1999, shortly after the new releases were rolled onto the lot. I live in Colorado where, if one is an active outdoors adventurer, a good, reliable car is a must.
The car is very handy and, despite it's...

Pros: All Wheel Drive, Perfect engine and steering

Cons: A little bit too noisy

Review: Why did I buy Subaru Impreza Wagon 2.0 RX? In April last year I had a opportunity to change my current car Nissan Almera to a new one. I had plenty of opportunities, but my choice was Subaru. Several features made this very easy for me
- in Estonia...

Pros: Instant throttle response: no lag at all a low RPM's

Cons: 6200RPM rev limit, owners are asking too much $$$...

Review: Instant throttle response! Very nice for passing cars! You really feel the torque down low on the RPM range. Yes owners are overpricing it like Integra type R owners, but its due to the fact that it was a limited production AWD 2 door snow plower ...

Pros: AWD, superior handling, decent gas mileage (30 hwy)

Cons: Extremely uncomfortable seating. Brake and drive train issues after 70,000 miles

The Bottom Line: Great,reliable car, but does not live up to the old Subaru's run forever with no problems mantra.

Review: Great car for the city or to enjoy windy country roads, handles great in all weather conditions. This car loves snow! Not so great for highway or for extended trips over 1.5 hours due to the uncomfortable seats and harsh ride. (I didn't buy this car ...
