The 1997 Subaru Impreza: before you buy

A buyer's checks
NHTSA has 30 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags, power train and wheels. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
What the specs mean
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Space, size and seats
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back.
Rent it for a week first
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Impreza answers the big questions. A week with the Impreza answers more than any brochure. Rent the Impreza first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Year and trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Money matters
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.
