Used Subaru Impreza: What to Know Before You Buy

A family hatchback/saloon with standard all-wheel drive.

Why people choose the Subaru Impreza

Family hatchbacks offer a genuine step up in space and motorway comfort over smaller cars, while still being noticeably cheaper to run than an equivalent SUV.

What to check on a used Impreza

Many of these were popular company/fleet cars when new, which often means a genuine full service history is easier to find than on cars that were mostly privately owned.

This is on top of the usual used-car checks that apply to any vehicle — see our full pre-purchase inspection guide for the complete list.
