Car Info: 2008 Impreza
Noob with a ¿

Hi there, I just purchased a 2008 Subaru impreza with a manual trans and 100,000KM on it. Loving the car so far and hopefully will find lots of info on this forum.

One question, do all impreza come with traction control/stability control? I do not see any button to disable it if so, I read that's its to the left of steering wheel kinda near your knee but its not there.... There's a little round plug that looks factory and where the button should be but its not there... So if I don't have TC that's ok, but I'm not ok with not being able to turn it off when I Want too.... Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Just below and to the right from the mirror controls.



I don't know that any models came without that button. But, just a press and TC is "off" with a light on on the dash. No special hold for 10 seconds or anything like other cars.

Heated seats, heated mirrors, block heater and the guages are in metric or dual with metric in large font and imperial in little font, other than that, no difference as far as I've seen.

*My Bugeye has no traction control just AWD to sort things out. So I'm not too sure about that.
