1997 Subaru Impreza Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers of the 1997 Subaru Impreza generally love its fun driving experience, reliable performance, and unique style. Many appreciate the excellent handling, especially in rough weather and road conditions, along with the strong acceleration and engine sound. However, some drivers mention that fuel economy could be better, and a few find the interior basic."
I love my Subaru - never had a mechanical problem. No repairs needed, great to drive highway or offroad. It's a little underpowered but gets the job done. I would buy another in a hot second and recommend it to anyone.
January 27, 2011Awesome price/performance, only big expenses on petrol. Very sensitive driving, very stabile on turns, very good construction of suspension, most comfortable seats i have ever sit in. Overall 9 of 10 just for fuel consumption and green color :))) Fast wagon :) 240hp/290Nm 0-60 in ~6s.
November 17, 2009Using the same platform, suspension, and drivetrain layout as the 1995 World Rally champion, it was the closest thing to a street legal rally car you could buy in 1997. With all wheel drive and Subaru reliability there's not much to say other than it was fun to drive. At the time a 2.2 L 137 HP flat four was all that was available. Amazing how much more hp they get out of basically the same engine only a few years later.

May 23, 2010Best 2.0 ltr Turbo on the planet!! Cracking looking for a standard car and a very rapid one at that! Id recomened an Impreza to any of my friends and family! Total love my car! and the superb power. Love subaru!
July 9, 2009Tool not a trophy, Fun, reliable, sporty, versatile. It's a tank. No matter who own's one, it seems to fit. Many mod options, and almost all subaru parts are inter changable. My next will be a pre 1996 so that i may motor swap without serious comp hassle.
June 25, 2009I love this car. It's amazingly fun to drive, especially considering it's my first stick! Wouldn't trade this car for anything -- I'll use it til it gives up on me! 90k miles roughly, drives like new. I'd recommend this car to anyone: commuters, occasional drivers, or the type who likes to get up in the mountains/beach for a day of play.
July 29, 2013Poket rocket. Love the performance, style, comfort, everything. Best car I've ever had, with extra boost did eat most V8's alive. Cornered like it was on rails and to0ok of like a jet plane. Words can't describe! Sooo much fun!
July 29, 2009My impreza is running 305bhp with 305lbft of torque. i love the sound of the flat 4 engine though the 3" exhaust. My scooby handles well and does between 18 and 28 mpg which isn't bad for a tuned scooby.
January 4, 2009I love my car in every way possible The only downfall I've seen in my 5 years of owning it is the gas mileage. It gets a whopping 24-26 miles to the gallon city, which isn't too bad, but its not a Toyota Prius with 40 miles to the gallon. :-P
