Thinking of buying the 2003 Subaru Impreza?
No 2003 Subaru Impreza is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Buying the 2003 Subaru Impreza is a big decision; here is the information we have.
A buyer's checks
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA has 62 owner complaints on file, mostly about fuel system, service brakes and fuel/propulsion system. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
What the specs mean
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Who rents the Impreza
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Inside and out
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back.
Rent it for a week first
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Year and trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Ready when you are
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2003 Subaru Impreza from us first.
Ask us about the 2003 Subaru Impreza
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2003 Subaru Impreza for you and reply within one business day.
Buying the 2003 Subaru Impreza
Does CarmaCars sell the 2003 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 2003 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 2003 Subaru Impreza have recalls?
NHTSA lists 6 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.
