I am the original owner of one of these '04s and I still like it a lot. It now has over 585,000 miles and trust it to get me wherever I need to go. ...and, yes, the turbo works well.
@@angelicaamora11 There's a lot of differences but the main ones are: Impreza is N/A (no turbo), WRX is turbo, and STI is turbo and has a 6 speed transmission. The engines are basically the same in all the models but they have some different parts and of course, the turbo versions have more power than the base model Impreza. Forgot to mention, the obvious visual differences are that the Impreza doesn't have a hood scoop or spoiler, WRX has a hood scoop and a low spoiler while the STI has a (sometimes) bigger hood scoop and a great high wing. STI also has some simple parts that make the car look more aggressive such as front bumper splitters. Honestly the car looks odd without them imo.
Just bought one. All original parts 2004. Has high miles, however i intend on replacing with stock engine and trany. Dont want to do anything outside stock. Love this car.
Awesome car man I'm located in Montreal I have the exact same car mine is an 05 rs 2.5 midnight blue I recently did a jdm ej205 engine jdm 5 speed transmission and diff swap I'm using the jdm ecu I have to fill up super 94 at petro Canada I also Did swap my front brakes to jdm wrx 4 pod calipers
Rob good video once agian! Thank you for doing a driving video. Many good tips. I think a really good video if you could do is a video of what to look for when buying a used one? I'll most likely bring to a subaru dealer , but what are big ticket items we should look for with a WRX? Also, do you play on modding your WRX?
I actually do have a video on that : ) just go on my channel and its my #1 vid. And yes, but not too crazy, just a turbo back exhaust and a cobb access port!
I know its an old video lol. My bf has exact same car, interior, color, everything, only difference is it still has the stock radio with the tape player
I just bought a 05 saab 92 aero a few weeks ago. i love it so far. but the gas mileage sucks lol. also... is that rear whining noise normal? It gets pretty noise on the highway. maybe the diff?
Like the review did a very good job and thanks for the info nice swap and love the color just a little bit dirty inside but you live in a snow place so it’s understandable good job my dude

585,000 on the motor??
Just got one with 200k
@@adventureswitheddie6444 i got one with 200k also, just had a simple misfire. 2800 bucks, how much you pay for yours?
@@TheHandyMan101 I paid too much, but it looks like it rolled off the production line
Damn my dude. 585k!? how much you at now? I just hit 285k on my 2004 wrx.
I'm planning on trying to get one of these so I'm doing my research
Good luck ! If you have any questions feel free to ask
Same

I'd be grateful that i have a wrx... Its a wrx for crying out loud!
So no one gonna ask about that squeaking noise 😂😂
"It despises being in the wrong gear" . Yes absolutely true. It absolutely hates lugging
I have an 05 wrx Myself.
Love it too death.
Clean blobeye's are getting scarce
I love the subi rumble, but the sound of bmw’s older in-line 6 while smacking limiter has to be my favorite🤷🏻♂️
Just bought one. All original parts 2004. Has high miles, however i intend on replacing with stock engine and trany. Dont want to do anything outside stock. Love this car.
The cracked window hurts my eyes but awesome vid .
Beautiful car man. Hopefully one day I’ll have an 04-05 wrx
Appreciate that! they are amazing cars. Hope you end up getting one!
There is one less than a mile from my house for 6k O.o its so beautiful
4 years later you get one get?

That's awesome man! I also had plans to do a midnight blue paint job/wrap, love that colour. Is your engine the v5 or v7?
It's a v7 avcs
jealous! I went v5, but I wish I went v7. How are you liking it?

awesome review man!
Thanks!
Looking into buying a WRX, is it as good in the snow as people say
For sure, one of the best cars you can get for the snow hands down.
The automatic Impreza itself is a good pic as well
I’m getting mines March 6th! I can’t wait my dream car n year only 140k miles bone stock 😳
I just bought a 05 saab 92 aero a few weeks ago. i love it so far. but the gas mileage sucks lol.

Do you have a list for the JDM swap I'm thinking of doing mine on my 2.5rs and would like some insight
I see you're from Alberta.....care to make a trip to Winnipeg and meet me when I go and look at one?
Hey i really need to know if u can take the spoiler off this car by any means is there any way u can do it without having to get messy?
BREEZY you’ll have to either swap trunk or fill holes where spoiler bolted on at.
Did you see that spider
What's the squeak sound?
It's the sound of his wet shoes on the clutch. 🙄
I wish these pedals were easy to grip tape like the 92 legacy
This was more of a review of other people's opinions, than a review of the car itself.
lol yeah kinda
Is that the stock turbo?
Boxer engine sounds like Chewbacca in the higher rpms.
why are you in every subaru video geez
Dudes getting whipped around by a stock blobeye😂 all love but I’m Fbo, id1050’s and tune and I’m bored. Going fp blue, ewg, and flex-fuel next week.
Selling my r33 gts4 to get a blobeye. Then get a gtst lol
so...many...adverts...
Sell it to me
A 4G63 sounds better to be honest
Kevin Nguyen hater
Jet engines sound better
Just got a blown head gasket on mine :/
Damn :/ did you have it for a while at least?
I just bought one with a blown head gasket
Gaskets weren’t made to last forever
Oof
