Unlike the previous release, the 2005 Subaru Impreza is actually a real facelift, the base model being improved with a new interior and a couple of new features which were not installed on the earlier models. First of all, the new Impreza has a new console and door panels while the materials used inside the car were also changed. Moreover, Subaru installed an automatic air conditioning system on the WRX and STi versions. Beside all these improvements, the Japanese manufacturer introduced the Outback Sport Special Edition, a new version of the car which had a refreshed interior, a pre-installed rear spoiler and the above mentioned CD changer.
