“...IF YOU ENJOY THE TACTILE PLEASURES OF DRIVING, YOU SIMPLY HAVE TO TRY ONE.” BBC TOP GEAR MAGAZINE, DECEMBER 2000 WHAT “TRACTION CONTROL” WANTS TO BE WHEN IT GROWS UP. The 4-wheel, fully independent suspension has been tried and proven on the WRC rally car. In front, MacPherson struts use L-shaped lower arms for added rigidity and durability. Liquidfilled suspension bushings absorb unwanted vibration. The rear dual-link suspension is designed for exceptional stability and control–a perfect partner to AWD’s superior grip. Front and rear stabilizer bars help keep body roll in check.

http://www.subaru-impreza.org http://www.subaru-impreza.org THE HEART OF EVERY SUBARU IS THE SYMMETRICAL AWD SYSTEM. THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, DRIVESHAFT AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL ARE LAID OUT IN A STRAIGHT LINE. BY CLOSELY BALANCING THE BODY LEFT TO RIGHT AND KEEPING COMPONENTS CLOSE TO THE CHASSIS’CENTERLINE, THE IMPREZA IS EXCEPTIONALLY AGILE, YET EXTREMELY STABLE. THE BOXER ENGINE’S COMPACT DIMENSIONS ALLOW IT TO BE PLACED FURTHER BACK IN THE CHASSIS, REDUCING WEIGHT AHEAD OF THE FRONT WHEELS ALLOWING MUCH QUICKER REACTION TO STEERING INPUTS. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HELPS TO BALANCE THE CHASSIS’WEIGHT FRONT TO REAR.
