start, Pastrana has taken his first win in the 2006 Rim of the World
Rally aboard his world-class 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX.
WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIPS
The scorching desert. The frozen tundra. Terrain that spits at asphalt. An all-out, brutal flog
through some of the most punishing environments in the world. It’s a harsh test of the driver’s
mettle, to say nothing of the capability and endurance of the vehicle. In the 17 years since Subaru
first entered the WRC, it has remained a dominant force in the series, boasting numerous
championships. The knowledge, analysis and passion derived from these experiences go into
the development of every Subaru. Racing is in our blood. Winning is part of our DNA.

CONFIDENCE
The sharpness and agility that characterize the Impreza experience
are exactly what help keep you safe. Because trademark innova-
tions like our standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and
boxer engine not only give you traction and stability for active
driving, but also active safety to help steer clear of an accident
altogether. With advancements to protect you in an unavoidable
collision, it’s the kind of safety that lets you tackle the curves with
confidence. It’s what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.
TO DRIVE LIKE
YOU MEAN IT.
Highest possible crash-test ratings.1
- Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)
1 Ratings based on Insurance Institute for Highway Safety 40-mile-per hour frontal crash test, 31-mile-per hour side-impact test, and 20-mile-per hour rear-impact test.
For more information, contac t the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety or visit their website at w ww.iihs.org.
Every Subaru was designed to achieve the highest crash
test scores in its class. But to help keep you from having
to test it out yourself, we engineered the Impreza to provide
stability, control and agile handling characteristics. Then
we equipped it with active safety features that help you
to negotiate an unexpected situation. In the event of
an impact, its numerous passive safety systems help to
minimize the results of the encounter. It all adds up to a
multidimensional approach to safety that results not only
from selected features, but every aspect of the vehicle.

TRACTION
Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
S-curves. Hairpins. Banked on-ramps. The chicane. The long straightaway. To
tackle it all with the enthusiasm they deserve, you need to know that the rubber
will adhere to the road, no matter what your drive may hold. The unique Subaru
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system delivers traction that you can depend on. Its
ideal balance helps to ensure stability and poise. And its efficiency at transmitting
power ensures greater grip and quick response to slippage. Providing you with
better handling in slick conditions, and intensified performance in any condition.
It’s a system that puts you in control of the road, and possibly your well-being.
MORE PREDICTABLE
IT’S WHAT MAKES A SUBARU, A SUBARU.
CONTINUOUS AWD In models with the
5-speed manual transmission, power is
normally split 50/50 between the front
and rear wheels. Should wheel slippage
occur, the viscous-center locking differ-
ential automatically helps transfer power
away from the wheels experiencing slip
to the wheels with the most traction.
ACTIVE AWD Paired with the available
4-speed automatic transmission, the Active
AWD system features an electronically
managed continuously variable multiplate
transfer clutch. This system monitors
parameters such as wheel slippage and
vehicle speed, actively seeking to adjust
power to the front or rear wheels with
the most traction.
VTD AWD The Variable Torque Distribu-
tion (VTD) system of the WRX Limited with
the 4-speed automatic transmission nor-
mally splits power 45% front and 55% rear
to deliver a sporty feel. With a planetary-
type center differential, VTD electronically
apportions torque for maximum grip. It
also features a viscous-type limited-slip
rear differential.

SUSPENSION Years of insight gained from intense World Rally Championships coupled with the
rigors of real-world driving went into the development of the sport-tuned 4-wheel independent
suspension. The result is the responsiveness and communicative nature of a precision-tuned vehicle.
Impeccable road manners, with more than enough verve to take on the curves.
BODY STRENGTH The Impreza is built on an extremely rigid platform, which not only aids its
considerable handling abilities, but also provides a solid, smooth, quiet ride.
CONTROL
More than three decades since Subaru adapted all-wheel drive (AWD) into the
lineup, we continue to set the standard with our trademark Subaru Symmetrical
AWD. With its balanced layout, power flows directly from the engine to all four
wheels for more immediate acceleration and efficient response to any slippage.
AWD also helps you maintain better overall control of your Impreza with greater
composure turning in to and accelerating away from the apex. More stability.
Enhanced safety. Maximum adhesion. A pure rush.
MASTERY OF MOTION The thrill of driving transcends mere horsepower. It’s in piloting a car that
feels like a telepathic expression of the driver’s will. One that exhibits quick reflexes and unfazed
predictability. That’s why every chassis component of the Impreza, with its precise rack-and-pinion
steering, rally-inspired rigid and lightweight body structure, 4-wheel disc brakes, and independent
suspension, is engineered to perform like it’s a telepathic expression of your will.

INLINE ENGINESUBARU BOXER ENGINE V-TYPE ENGINE
GREATER STABILITY The SUBARU BOXER engine’s lightweight, compact design lowers
the vehicle center of gravity. Providing more stable handling characteristics to better
keep the car along its intended path, especially when changing direction quickly.
MAKES IT BETTER
LESS VIBRATION The 180-degree boxer engine layout allows the pistons to move in
exact horizontal opposition, effectively negating the vibrations of the opposing pistons.
Its smoothness not only sweetens power delivery, it also helps increase longevity.
Subaru Boxer Engine It’s what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.
Press the accelerator to get outstanding power, along with a healthy dose of
innovation. At the heart of the Impreza is our legendary SUBARU BOXER engine,
with pistons laid flat in horizontal opposition. Used in every Subaru, this design
lowers the center of gravity, promoting precise handling and enhanced stability,
while increasing durability and reducing vibration. It’s the force that gives you
greater control, and greater safety.

Impreza WRX Limited Sedan shown in Urban Gray Metallic.
SUBARU BOXER ENGINE |TRANSMISSION
Impreza engines are constructed of aluminum alloy for reduced weight, which helps
quicken acceleration and handling. Enhanced with i-Active Valve Lift System in the
2.5i and Outback Sport, and Active Valve Control System in the WRX and WRX STI,
for increased horsepower and a broader torque curve creating a virtually seamless
supply of power. And they use Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) for a more precise
and immediate response to the nuances of your right foot. It all works together to
deliver exceptional power, along with proven reliability and durability.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION For those who prefer
to row their own gears. Both the 5-speed of the
2.5i, Outback Sport and WRX, and the close-ratio
6-speed transmission of the WRX STI are fully
synchronized to deliver smooth and precise shifts.
The short-throw shifter of the WRX STI is engi-
neered to produce fluid, positive engagement.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION The electronic
direct-control 4-speed automatic unit provides
seamless shifts under a variety of driving condi-
tions. The convenient automatic transmission is
optional on most Impreza models.
2.5 i AND OUTBACK SPORT The aluminum-alloy
2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine utilizes a computer-
controlled i-Active Valve Lift System that brews
up 173 horsepower, and delivers a broader
torque curve for seamless power. And it gets
up to 22/29 mpg in city/highway driving.
WRX With a hood scoop to aid air intake to the
intercooler, the turbocharged 2.5-liter engine of
the WRX delivers 224 potent horsepower. Peak
torque of 226 lb-ft is reached at a low 3,600
rpm, thanks to the Active Valve Control System
increasing overall breathability for more power
throughout the rev range.

NO APOLOGIES. NO COMPROMISE. Every piece of engineering is dedicated to
enhancing the performance potential. Consider its performance-driven Symmetrical
AWD system— the Driver Controlled Center Differential (DCCD) that puts you at
the helm of traction. Ride it on a race-tuned 4-wheel independent suspension with
inverted struts and 17" BBS®wheels halted by mighty Brembo®ventilated disc brakes.
With unwaveringly bold technology to increase speed, agility and strength, the
WRX STI takes the intensity of ultra high-performance rally driving and replicates
it for on-road use. Extreme? Unrelentingly.
STI, POLISHED. It’s every bit as sharp, pushed by the same flat-four 2.5-liter boxer
engine with an intercooled, high-boost turbocharger pushing 14.5 psi of maximum boost
that flat-out charges with 293 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque. You can have all of
the performance potential and equipment of the STI, only now you can enjoy it all from
the comfort of the heated leather-trimmed front seats with the power moonroof wide
open. Only 800 will ever be made, luring the enthusiast with its sophisticated style.
With its refined interior and sleeker exterior, it’s civilized, not compromised.

UNCOMPROMISING
SAFETY Impreza 2.5 i Sedan shown in Urban Gray Metallic.
ACTIVE SAFETY Our approach to keeping you safe only begins with the traction of Subaru
Symmetrical AWD and responsive handling combining to keep you in control. These inherent
advantages are supported by a comprehensive array of features to help you in an emergency. To
help avoid an impending accident, 4-wheel antilock disc brakes (ABS) are enhanced with Electronic
Brake-force Distribution (EBD) to maximize stopping power sooner. At Subaru, every innovation
is designed with your protection in mind.
CONTROL Standard full-time AWD automatically adjusts power front
and rear, helping to maintain greater traction, no matter what the road
surface or the weather has in store, helping you to maintain better
control of your Impreza.
ADVANCED BRAKES Working in conjunction with the 4-wheel
antilock braking system (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution
(EBD) maximizes stopping power by optimally apportioning
braking force front to rear under heavy braking.
PASSIVE SAFETY Subaru innovations not only help you avoid a collision. They help you and your
passengers survive one, thanks to features like seat belts with front pretensioners and load limiters,
side-impact beams and a Ring-Shaped Reinforcement Frame around the cabin to help dissipate the
impact of a crash. Active front-seat head restraints help reduce the chances of whiplash.1And an
extensive array of air bags helps offer protection from the front and sides.2Together, they help
the Impreza achieve the highest possible results in IIHS crash safety testing.3
IMPACT PROTECTION Designed to help protect both your head
and torso, these air bags help provide the best protection no matter
what the seat position is. And in the event of a rear-end collision, the
available active front-seat head restraints provide another layer of
protection by automatically moving forward to cradle your head to
help minimize the possibility of whiplash.
REINFORCED CONSTRUCTION Engineered for exceptional strength
to help maintain the integrity of the cabin structure, the innovative
Subaru ring-shaped reinforcements around the passenger compart-
ment also help dissipate crash-impact energy away from occupants.
1 Available on 2.5i, Outback Sport and WRX TR models only. 2Always wear seat belts. Children should be properly restrained in the rear seat.
3 Ratings based on Insurance Institute for Highway Safety 40-mile-per hour frontal crash test, 31-mile-per hour side-impact test, and 20-mile-per hour rear-impact test.

SYMMETRICAL ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
Continuous All-Wheel Drive 2.5i, Outback Sport and WRX models equipped with 5-speed manual transmission utilize a viscous-type locking center differential with
torque distribution normally configured at a 50/50-split front-to-rear. If wheel speed differs between front and rear axles, the system
helps distribute power to the wheels with the most traction. WRX models feature a viscous-type limited-slip rear differential.
Active All-Wheel Drive 2.5i and Outback Sport models equipped with 4-speed automatic transmission utilize an electronically controlled variable transfer clutch
to distribute power to where traction is needed. Sensors monitor parameters such as wheel slippage, throttle position and braking to help
determine torque distribution and direct it to the wheels with optimum traction.
Variable Torque Distribution (VTD)
All-Wheel Drive
WRX models equipped with 4-speed automatic transmission utilize an electronically controlled variable transfer clutch in conjunction with a
planetary-type center differential. Torque distribution is normally configured at a performance-oriented rear-wheel-biased 45/55 split front-
to-rear. Sensors monitor parameters such as wheel slippage, throttle position and braking to help determine torque distribution and direct it
to the wheels with optimum traction. WRX models feature a viscous-type limited-slip rear differential.
Driver Controlled Center Differential
(DCCD) All-Wheel Drive
Exclusive to WRX STI models, Driver Controlled Center Differential (DCCD) All-Wheel Drive, featuring both manual and automatic modes, uses
an electronically managed multiplate transfer clutch and a mechanical limited-slip differential in conjunction with a planetary-gear-type center
differential to control power distribution between the front and rear wheels. Normally, DCCD splits power 41% front and 59% rear. Sensors
monitor parameters such as wheel slippage, steering angle, throttle position and braking to help determine torque distribution and direct it to
the wheels with optimum traction. DCCD also features a helical-type limited-slip front differential and a Torsen®limited-slip rear differential.
