idea what it will look like? What new features might there be?

If you live in rural area and drive an automatic the current impreza is
fine.
But anything requiring any precision in the parking lot is not as easy.
For me anyway. I'm a terrible driver though. People who know how to
drive
like yourself probably don't have many problems.
I think Mazda has 323 platform for sale real cheap. Maybe FHI wants
to buy it, stiffen it a bit, stick their drivetrain on that chassis
and call it a day? The resulting car probably suit me just fine
if 05 looks are to be preserved.
What do you drive right now? Do you plan to get a 5sp or an automatic?cloud said:They salesman at the dealership said the new 2008 was going to look
completely different. I haven't been able to find anything online except
speculation. That is what has me thinking '07 - if the '08 is ugly, I
may not want it. I like the look of the current Impreza too.

Do you live in a densely populated urban area?
Somewhere on the backroads in the rural area?
Do you like a soft or a firm ride?

Auto (bad left knee...no choice...unfortunately)
Rural area near a small city. Bout 40 km of highway in between.
My house is almost a km off the paved road. A 4wd is an absolute
necessity in the winter. (It is 'cleared' but snow/ice remains so ground
clearance isn't as necessary as having four wheels working)
Not completely sure. My guess...firm.
Body said:IMHO 07 impreza with an automatic would work just fine in your
situation.
Another option for youcloud said:Thanks. I was talking to a guy at Subaru today and he's pretty sure all
the changes to the '08 are in the style department. No major tech
improvements, so I think I'll snag an '07 sometime in November.
I don't think transmission has anything to do with thisDave said:Hmm... I live in a city and have parallel parked my Impreza quite a few
times. And, have even parallel parked it a number of times on the streets
of NYC.
Certainly, a stick would be a bit more difficult, for me at least.
I find the Impreza to be the easiest car to know where it is than any
other I've driven before. I think that a good portion of that is helped by
the fact that it is a wagon, so, I know exactly where the rear of the car
is.

particular problem.
STI owners on the other hand are not so fortunate.
I saw an STI an hour ago with a rear bumper dented in a corner a-la
Camries
of the late.
Way to go Subaru! That rear wing really works.
After all it's a RALLY car. Have you seen a car driven backwards in
a rally?
