The 2018 Subaru Impreza: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2018 Subaru Impreza; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is what to know about the 2018 Subaru Impreza before buying one.
Recalls and complaints
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. There are 5 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 151 complaints with NHTSA, most often about exterior lighting, visibility/wiper and unknown or other; have those parts checked.
Specs, explained
Its 2.0L 4-cylinder drives through an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
Plan on about 23 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 7.6 L/100 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $117.80 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,188 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space, size and seats
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. At 595 litres, the trunk fits bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
When the Impreza makes sense
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country.
Drive it on your own roads
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. If the Impreza is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$2,188 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.78 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Choosing the right one
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Still deciding?
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
