The 2008 Subaru Impreza 2.5i is a practical car with a sporty personality. It comes in four-door sedan body style. You'll get all-wheel drive, a 170-hp 2.5-liter flat four engine, and a automatic transmission. As an added bonus, the sedan includes a full complement of safety features, including traction control, electronic stability control, and antilock disc brakes. For 2008, the Impreza got some new styling. It ditches the bulbous winged nose of the previous model and now focuses on the Subaru star cluster logo. A wider grille, widened fenders, are part of the makeover. Rear seat comfort has also been enhanced. There are new recliner angles for the rear seats and more legroom. And, for the first time, the rear doors open at an angle of 75 degrees for easier access to the back seat. The Impreza's new chassis has a longer wheelbase and better rigidity. Subaru's engine management has been tweaked to provide more torque and move the engine's peak torque to a lower engine speed. It is also quieter at idle.
