nameIess Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 hey guys... I'm thinking about getting Impreza 2.0R... To be honest I don't know much about Impreza nor about Subaru in general. But the look of the WRZ STI really cought me. I've always wanted a sporty car with a sporty feeling. By sporty I don't mean racing and doing laps... But rather a car that feels "different" and is "fun" to drive. Just yesterday I drove my friend's 2004/5 honda accord (vtec 2.0 4 cyl) and it was FUN and I hate to say it but the acceleration was just right for my driving like. In the past I've always wanted a 350z or ford mustang. But with my limited cash I just might be able to trade my current car for an impreza. the dealer only have two models, auto and manual. and nothing other than the 2.0R. it does come with a sexy gold wheels, ugly spoiler, sport seats (like the wrz), sunroof and CD changer. it has 160HP (thats 10 hp less than the 2.5 liters sold in the US). And i've never been a mod person but if i'm going to get this car I'm going to change the shift knob, tint the windows, and add a hood scope right after I leave the dealership. btw I'm not even sure how the AWD feel. I'll get a test drive after the weekend if i'm really planing to get one. But does it feels fun for a sporty ride? I like the feeling of push/pull you get from rear/front drive cars So guys what kind of advice can you offer me? thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daehttub2000 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I see that you're overseas. Japan? Australia? Europe? All Subies are AWD in the states so I'm assuming it's the same overseas. The 2.0R (AWD?) will definitely feel a bit sluggish compared to the new Honda VTEC's. I have the 2.0 WRX. Before the turbo kicks in it pulls like an economy car. However, the reliability is bulletproof and if you have bad weather where you live you'll get more useful speed out of an AWD than any other 2WD sportscar. You also have a ton of aftermarket "go fast" mods so when you get more cash, you can make your Subie go faster. The 2.5RS (non-turbo AWD) in the US is reasonably peppy due to the added displacement (more torque). I'm not sure how the 2.0 will do with AWD. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nameIess Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 hey, thanks for the reply. actually my country is hot and not much rain and never snows so I'm not sure if I'll get any use of the AWD (it does come with AWD here). so you are saying that AWD will make the car slower? thats too bad I'll test drive one on monday hopefuly.

nameIess Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 What kind of mods can I install on the Impreza 2.0R, that would increase HP, wont cost too much and wont require much work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortlid Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 If you can't use the AWD I would sugest a rear wheel drive car. More fun than any others if you don't need foul weather go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
