The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Occasional problems on this vehicle are failures of the Catalytic Converter, Air Fuel Ratio Sensor and Knock Sensor. An additional problem on the 2.5L engine is failure of the Cylinder Head Gaskets. Problems with the Catalytic Converter and Knock Sensor will cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate. Problems with the Air Fuel Ratio Sensor can cause drivability issues and may also cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate, in some cases the Engine Control Module (ECM) may need to be reprogrammed as well.

The cost to replace the Catalytic Converter is estimated at $925.45 for parts and $130.00 for labor.

Summary:
|
2.5 RS makes you feel like a world-class rally driver.
By Albert Hall, NewCarTestDrive.com
In sum, the Impreza RS's drivetrain/suspension combination makes a reasonably sophisticated package. A few subcompacts are smoother, and more refined in the details. Yet the RS comes with more entertainment value, and more character, than a Ford Escort or Toyota Corolla or most other cars of similar dimensions. Throw in the all-season security of all-wheel-drive, and you have a package that's hard to beat for the money.Ah, the money. Prices do change with the times. At a base price of $19,195, the Impreza 2.5 RS is a far cry more expensive than the $12,000 pocket rockets of the 1980s. On the other hand, these days any vehicle under $20,000 is considered inexpensive. The Impreza 2.5 RS delivers decent performance, good fun, head-turning looks, a functional back seat and--for those who live in less hospitable climes--fewer worries about when the next storm might blow through. And there's no other subcompact quite like it. |
|
Overview:
|
In the 1980s they called them "pocket rockets," subcompact economy cars with a little more power and better handling than the standard models. Most automakers built them because pocket rockets delivered good, clean, practical fun at a reasonable price and created some interest in the showroom. In the late 1990s, when "sport" is more often associated with "utility," pocket rockets come few and far between. Fortunately, the Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS proves that the concept lives. With the 2.5 RS, Subaru takes its subcompact Impreza, installs the 2.5-liter engine from its larger Legacy sedan and wagon, adds a screaming rear spoiler and, Viola! An Impreza worthy of the pocket-rocket heritage. Better still, the Impreza 2.5 RS updates the '80s vision of a pocket rocket. It draws on Subaru's heritage as a force in auto racing's World Rally Championship, and comes equipped with standard all-wheel-drive. It also has something you wouldn't necessarily expect in a subcompact: a back seat that holds two medium-sized adults in reasonable comfort. We drove the 2.5 RS Coupe.
