I got myself a brand new 2026 Subaru Impreza touring.
I’ve never been someone who names my cars, but this one I feel is very deserving.
I’m looking for a one-word name, bonus points if there’s a pun or play on words in there. Pop culture references are also acceptable.
I was sitting on “Julius” for a while but it’s just not sticking with me, I feel it has more potential.
I just purchased a 1997 Impreza L Wagon with a 2.2 and a 5speed. I used to have daily an 05 but I sold it, and always needed another wagon. Now I have this as my second car/winter mobile.
Just got an oil change this morning and noticed oil at the bottom of the filter. Is this normal after a filter change? Or is there a possible leak?
Wife’s car has been thru hell.. I think it’s the low profile tires. She’s had blowouts, bent / broken rims and just plain air leaks. Has anyone else experienced an odd amount of problems with these?
Is there a similar model with more sidewall / smaller wheel that will bolt on?
Hey everyone was just seeing if anyone knows if you can put these front spats/splitter things on a na impreza as on the wrx/sti they come on there and it looks like there is a gap for them to sit in, i want to know before i actually buy them and i cant find any info anywhere, any help would be great
When I slowly put the accelerator down, it’s fine. But if I push the peddle harder, it jerks or like it rocks forward and back (best way I can describe it).
This happened about 2 weeks ago now, and it happened after I got gas. It’s been doing it ever since. I don’t have a check engine light.
I’m going to a shop tomorrow to look at it.
But does anyone have an idea of what could be?
Bonjour à tous
Il y a peut un collègue m'a demandé des cales adaptatrices pour monter un moteur Impreza GT (EJ205/EJ206, pré-2000) dans un Forester avec le collecteur du Forester (post-2000).
✅ Problème résolu : Les collecteurs des deux moteurs ont des formes différentes → ces cales permettent l’adaptation sans modifier les pièces Subaru.
✅ Testé sur prototype : étanchéité et compatibilité vérifiées.
✅ Prêt pour usinage CNC ou impression 3D (épaisseur et dégagements optimisés).
Pour l'instant seul un montage à blanc a était fait avec les cales imprimé 3d, pas de démarrage.
Par contre avec les cales usinées en aluminium En-aw-7175, le moteur est fonctionnel.
I got into an accident this morning while going to work... The person Infront of me braked very hard and i just literally slid into the back of her car. I didn't feel a thing thobut my subi got all the damage. Thankfully it only had damage to the body and not the chasis or engine and radiator... But yeah it's been an eventful morning 🤦
Hello Impreza Community!
I'm having a wee issue and I'm seeking other mechanically inclined minds to help solve it. My boyfriend attempted to change my oil and emptied the CVT fluid (14mm bolt) instead, completely missing the oil pan (17mm bolt). He and I have been doing research and we found a few vids about how to refill the CVT. Feeling better already! However, The Internet is saying that the CVT fill hole is opened with an 8mm hex bit, and we've found a star bit plug that's located on the driver's side, opposite the exhaust pipe on the other side of the transmission. instead. See pic. Anyone else have this setup? Do you know what size star bit is needed? We've tried the advised 8mm hex bit, but it doesn't fit. We've tried a T50, which fits, but not snugly. It feels like the hole is tapered (wider at the opening than at the end).
My 2025 Impreza keys spent a full 24 hours in Lake Ontario. I fluked into finding them in about 6 feet of water. Opened up the key, dried out with hair dryer and let sit open for about 8 hours. Put back together and works just fine.
Trying to get a 2 person rooftop tent, what are you guys using?
If I can get some space for a kayak that would be ideal, I'm running factory roof rails.
I would prefer plug and play options but I'm open to suggestions.*
*I'm happy to hear suggestions of what to carry when camping, please let me know I'm happy to learn as much as I can
family friend is selling me a 2014 subaru impreza. replaced transmission then he drove it from the east coast to west then he said it has something wrong with the transmission again. what sort of questions should i ask
I have to part with my impreza because as I get older its harder to get in and out of. It's too low. I need something higher that I can just slide into. My question to all of you is where is the best place to sell and buy and how much to ask for it? It's been my baby for 8 years or more. Nothing wrong with it except some blemishes on the body from dings. Was hoping to fix those. Low kms. Sport tech package. Dashboard looks just like the wrx. Any help will be appreciated.
Anyone managed to find one that fits the Gen IV? Can;t seem to find one for the life of me, only for newer models or for Outbacks.
I am in need of crossbar setup/buying advice for my 2021 Subaru Impreza Sedan.
Context:
My needs are
- Increased cargo capacity
- Transport snowboards
- Transport bikes
- Cool rooftop awning (?)
Not necessarily all at once of course.
I'm not looking for a flush fit, as I would like the maximum possible space and load capacity. I do not mind hangover.
I get 40% off all Yakima and Thule products.
Questions:
All that being said, would love to hear/see pics of how everyone else has set up crossbars and roof racks on their Imprezas.
- Any benefit to flush fit bars that outweighs the decrease in capacity?
- Brands you recommend other than Yakima or Thule that will come out cheaper after discount?
- Is a front crossbar fairing necessary to cut wind noise?
- What cargo baskets do you use, and is there a better alternative to a basket for transporting your gear?
Thank you in advance!
So blue coolant light was on. My well learned child checked the level and found it looking like this. Oil cap looks ok, dipstick too, but this is normal -take it for head gasket-Subaru stuff?
2002 2.5rs sedan
Not sure exactly where to start with fixing the ac. The previous owner dropped in an engine from a newer model I think (need help to identify). The newer engine has an AC compressor that doesn't fit the existing AC lines. I'm more or less looking to just replace the compressor with the older one/one that fits. What do I need to do to find what kind of compressor I need.
have had my rs for a few months now and continue to love it more and more. Such a good looking car and is a great daily driver that you can have some fun with. Drop some appreciation pictures of your guys Impreza's in the comments!
Second picture is just to show off the view a little more lol
Garage said ~$300 to replace the caliper, I did it for $30 and it’s fixed ! I’m too poor to replace the pads and rotors soz might sell my tools
