Thinking of buying the 2009 Subaru Impreza?

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2009 Subaru Impreza; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2009 Subaru Impreza, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

Recalls and complaints

Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

What the figures tell you

The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.

Who it is for

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

How big it is

As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back.

Try before you buy

Drive the Impreza on your commute before you commit to it. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. If the Impreza is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

Which one to look for

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2009 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.

The cost of driving it

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Buying the 2009 Subaru Impreza

Does CarmaCars sell the 2009 Subaru Impreza?

Not right now. CarmaCars rents cars; it sells one only now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.

Can I rent a 2009 Subaru Impreza before I buy one?

Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.

Does the 2009 Subaru Impreza have recalls?

NHTSA lists 14 recall campaigns for it, in the table on this page. Ask for proof each was fixed.

Where do the figures come from?

Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
