No M3!!! Oh well maybe STi??
No M3!!! Oh well maybe STi??
Couldn't find info on the '04 Impreza Sedan on the NHTSA website, but the '03 wagon got great marks. 4 stars for driver head on collision safety, 5 stars for passenger head on safety. 4 star side impact rating in the front (not tested in the rear) and 4 star rollover resistance.
I would think these should be relatively equivalent for the '04 sedan.
But remember, the best way to survive an accident is not to get into one in the first place.

why do you want to know that? are you going to crash it or something? j/k besides the insurance price for the m3 and sti are the same, cause i wanted to get a sti but had to settle on a 02' wagon. best move i ever made cause my wagon does high 12's....total sleeper.

I am interested in the M3 silversuby check your PM, i want an E46 (01-04+) I was thinking in the 30's i found one in the 30's but that fell thru. Well I am getting some money from my parents that way i dont have to get a loan from the bank... my parents think that the subaru is a death box but they are just guessing not actually based on facts... I like the M3 but its a little more than I want to spend i'd have to make larger payment to my parents but maybe its worth it. SILVER SUBY I HOPE YOUR FRIENDS M3 is cooli

i just dont see you comparing the M# E46 toan STi... I would get both, but a 30k M3 would be **** compared to a 30k STi.
STi is way better for the money
more cost effective to mod with.M3 on the other hand is more expensive to have fun with.
Your choice on the fun "OH" meter is all up to you.
Both great cars...

Well that is a whole other thread
.. I wont even get into that topic. all I know is that the M3 is no joke/not cheap to add mods, just as an example... Brembo big brake kit is well over $5,000 and you cant leave the exhaust, headers etc., rims and tires and suspension OEM etc. the list can go and on and $20 g's wont get too far on an M3.STi plus $20 g's on it with mods etc. will be pegging the fun oh meter....
Lan Evo and $20 g's will definitely kill you at a young age.

Impreza's are battletanks for civilians minus the turret. Need I say more?
BTW, the M3 is great for the bling factor, but the STi is a much better value. And the Lan Evo is an even better than the STi in some respects
And if you do wind up with a BMW, take it from a former owner that if the car's price didn't kill you, the price for parts will mutilate you, your wallet, your pet dog, and your momz And I don't mean sports parts, I mean just basic maintenance parts!
