Thinking of buying the 2005 Subaru Impreza?

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2005 Subaru Impreza for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 2005 Subaru Impreza, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

Recalls and complaints

Owners filed 75 complaints with NHTSA, most often about suspension, air bags and fuel system; have those parts checked. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 6 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.

What the specs mean

No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.

How big it is

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

Who rents the Impreza

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

A longer test drive

Rent the Impreza for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. If the Impreza is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

Running costs

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.

Picking a year and a 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. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

Ready to ask?

A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.

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 2005 Subaru Impreza from us first.
