Is Impreza underpowered?

The car is underpowered a bit, but it isn’t as bad as many car reviews make it out to be IMO. My other car is 2019 WRX , but I don’t find the Impreza that bad when changing cars back and forth.

What’s the idle speed on a Subaru Impreza GC8?

We cleaned that and the air box out and everything is running much more smoothly now, a steady idle at 750 RPM’s. Thanks again for your response, shaz. Not a problem, cleaning anything completely spaced my mind.

The cylinders encase the pistons, where internal combustion occurs, therefore this is the part of the engine that receives the most abuse. The cylinder walls are exposed to explosions with high heat and impact, and expand and contract when the engine is on and off.

Which is the weakest engine in a Subaru?

They have a few points of reinforcement to increase the strength of the cylinder wall. Open decks can be seen in early non-turbo engines, and the first 2 generations of WRX’s. These are the weakest Subaru engines, due to the fact they have next to no cylinder wall reinforcement.
