Hi - I'm new to the forum and new to Subaru. I have a 2009 Impreza 2.0l. Can someone help me understand the "1st gen, 2nd gen, 3rd gen" references please?

Very grateful for any explanation.
Peter

Help me out please - how can I tell if my Impreza is 1st 2nd or 3rd generation?

Probably no replies as it is easily found. Wikipedia search - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_Impreza

 

Thanks Stevie - agreed, it seems it was easy to search for it but what does that say about your club members who ignored you so that you had to go search the web.

Like every forum there are a lot of questions asked on a repeatedly rather than searching previous questions which for some users is annoying thereby limiting answers when time has been taken to answer previously.

Forums are great when there is a two way interaction and sufficient knowledge of the subject matter but I have noticed a lot of queries having no replies and haven't quite sussed out why.

Not good practice though to have a dig at members who may have information you realy need and can't find anything from other sources. Your original query was from two months ago and it took seconds to come up with the link I posted although I knew it existed from doing research on the first scoob I had at least 10 years ago.

There are a lot of good resources out there from more model focused forums like SIDC and NASIOC in the states and believe me most owners have probably learned most of what they can now relay via this forum from other sites and then put into practice.
