Impreza Outback Sport in Newport Blue Pearl/Steel Silver Metallic.
BRAKES
A standard Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) is enhanced
with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) to apportion
power to the front and rear wheels. And available Brake
Assist aids in maximizing emergency halts. When it
comes to your well-being, you'll fi nd that the Impreza
is uncompromising about safety.
SUSPENSION
Riding on an all-new double wishbone rear suspension the
Impreza is all about smooth, polished road manners with
more than enough verve to take on those curvy canyon
roads. And it comes with standard 16-inch wheels. On the
Outback Sport, you get 17-inch wheels and a raised sus-
pension that puts many unpaved roads within reach.
PERFORMANCE
Driving is about more than just going fast. It's about piloting a car that responds to your
every input with precision and predictability, giving you the confi dence to maneuver around
tight corners or merge onto freeways with equal enthusiasm. It's about volunteering to drive
everyone to the beach even though you drove the last time, just because it's enjoyable. The
Impreza is engineered to be greater than merely a means of transportation. Because "going
for a ride" should be just as pleasant as getting there.
VDC
VEHICLE DYNAMICS
CONTROL
The available electronic stability control system helps
keep you on your intended path by measuring variables
such as steering input, braking and vehicle angle.
Sensing any slide that causes the vehicle to deviate from
your intended course, VDC applies individual brakes
and/or reduces engine power to counteract the slide
and help keep you safely in control.
INCLINE START ASSIST
Parking or stopping on hills with your manual
transmission and VDC-equipped Impreza is
simplifi ed with the available Incline Start Assist
feature. It keeps the brakes on for a bit while
you're switching your foot from the brake to
the gas pedal. It helps to prevent the car from
rolling backwards.
TRANSMISSIONS
Choose between the smooth-shifting 5-speed
manual that's fully-synchronized for precise
action. Or opt for the convenience of the 4-speed
automatic transmission with SPORTSHIFT®
manual control that lets you set it in Drive when
you want to, or lets you switch gears manually
by moving the shifter up or down.
