Are 2008 Subaru Imprezas fast?
The STI comes with a six-speed manual only. In testing, we timed a five-speed WRX hatchback at 5.9 seconds to 60 mph and 14.5 seconds in the quarter-mile. The WRX STI is quicker still, hitting 60 in just 4.8 seconds and breaking through the quarter in 13.3 ticks.
Does Subaru Impreza 2008 have Turbo?
The 2.5-liter intercooled and turbocharged four-cylinder engine is similar to the previous year’s model, although peak 224 horsepower is reached sooner, at 2,800rpm. We were impressed by this engine’s smooth power as the turbo wound up–we didn’t feel a sudden turbo bump in the acceleration.
What kind of car is the 2008 Subaru Impreza?
The 2008 Subaru Impreza is available as a compact sedan or four-door hatchback. There are four main trim levels: 2.5i, Outback Sport, WRX and WRX STI. Base 2.5i models come with 16-inch steel wheels, air-conditioning, a CD/MP3 player, cruise control, tilt steering and full power accessories.
How can I get more power out of my Subaru WRX?
Either the intake or exhaust works fine alone, but ECU modifications are required to get them to work in tandem. So, to get even more power, we had the engine reprogrammed. Remember, that voids your powertrain warranty. We called Cobb Tuning (801-713-0035; www.cobbtuning.com) for its AccessPort, which can completely revise the engine software.
Is the new Subaru Impreza all wheel drive?
All-wheel-drive provides secure handling in nearly all road conditions, and is a must-have for many in less temperate climates. If you’re looking to stand out, this may not be the car for you, as the new 2008 Subaru Impreza still seems to lack any truly defining visual characteristics.
What do you get in a Subaru Impreza Rs?
As the second to top in the Impreza range, the RS receives exactly the same exterior treatment as the WRX except for the bonnet scoop. The sports body kit is standard, as are 17 inch alloys, a rear spoiler and an exterior model badge. Plus you get privacy glass in the rear door, rear quarter and rear windscreen.
