basic history
Introduced in 1993, the Impreza has consistently
been top rated. It is about the size of a Corolla or Civic. Over the years
is has been available in 2, 4 and 5 door models, with all wheel drive or
front wheel drive. Engines offered were a 1.8L and 2.2L.
2003: very few changes. TS gets cruise control, RS and Outback get keyless entry and dual vanity mirrors, RS gets trunk light, WRX gets illuminated ignition key ring and new limited production Sonic Yellow in both sedan and wagon, but the yellow sedan is only available with the rear spoiler and has a separate model code. App 1,500 yellow WRXs will be made. Also a hitch is now available on the WRX wagon.
2002 is the first major re-design of the Impreza line.

to offer all-wheel-drive.
