Hi there -- first post on the site! I'm considering purchasing a used 2003 Subaru Impreza RS 2.5 sedan for my 3 teenage kids to share. I'd love to get some feedback, pro or con, from users about this vehicle. Here are the details: - 2003 Subaru Impreza RS 2.5 Sedan - 97K miles; timing belt and water pump service has *NOT* been done yet (due at around 105K miles) - Clean CarFax, 4 prior owners, only 5 service records available - Blue Ridge Pearl finish, spotless - Black & blue cloth interior, very clean - Car has new no-name brand All-Season tires; original alloy rims are in good shape with very little curb rash - Everything works inside & out (AC, cruise, flog lights, power everything, leather steering wheel & shifter, security system, telescoping/tilting steering wheel) - Dealer is asking $7,995 but I offered $7K + taxes and licensing, provided I get my wife on board (she wants a car with better mileage) I know that the 2001-2003 models have had issues with failed head gaskets. It doesn't appear that this car has had any head gasket work done on it. The Nada, KBB, and Edmunds dealer retail cost for this car all came in around $7,075. Opinions? This is a slightly quirky-looking but sporty car, and I'd feel comfortable having my kids drive this thing. It doesn't have great gas mileage, but it is AWD, and for a younger driver, there is a ton of visibility out the back. The more I drove it, the more I started to like it. And you're not going to see a zillion of them driving down the road either (like a Honda Civic or Toyota Camry).
