Everything Subaru Impreza Archives 1993-1996: 
L, LS, Sport, Outback, Brighton: sedan, coupe and wagon

Introduced in 1993, the Impreza has consistently been top rated and there have been few really major changes.
The Impreza is Subaru's small car and comes as a 2 door coupe, 4 door sedan or 5 door wagon.

Among the changes: front wheel drive models were dropped, high and low end models were introduced and then dropped, and in  1995 the Outback Sport Wagon was introduced

The Impreza fits many budgets and lifestyles. In the same size class as the Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, Ford Escort etc, the Impreza offers Subaru's dependability, is the one of the few compact wagons available and is the only such vehicle to offer all-wheel-drive.

Outbacks? Many folks confuse Outbacks. There are 2 Outbacks. Both started in 1995.

I have tried to provide the initial information so you can determine your interest in Subarus from the comfort of your home or work.
If you're interested in a new or used Subaru or other used vehicle please contact me. Thank you, Joe
