A 2.5 litre Subaru Impreza sedan or coupe manufactured from 1998 to 2005 (after 2005 it became the 2.5i). It's descendant (the 2.5i) is now the base model Impreza sedan. They had around 168 horsepower, all wheel drive, and sat 5. Before they were the base model Impreza they had larger engines than the other Imprezas, and also had sportier suspension, mag wheels, etc. The 1998-2001 body is a very sought after body, and is commonly swapped with a turbo charged WRX or STi engine. There is also a website: www.rs25.com which is a whole Internet community devoted to this car.

Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS

A crappy Jap car that could be good, if you decide to do an engine swap with an STI. But until that happens, this vehicle is usually associated with tons of rice loaded onto the car included but not limited to: fake gold "hand-painted" rims, overly large spoilers, body kits, "sound-systems" that are stock and have a cheap subwoofer and cheap amp. Also they may contain so-called "performance parts" like K&N air intakes, or filters, or NEW SPARK PLUGS! But none of these really do anything perfomance-wise on the car.
