The SUBARU IMPREZA (2007-12) 5DR HATCHBACK 4WD 1.5 107 EU5 RC is a compact five-door hatchback, offering a practical alternative to ordinary family hatchbacks rather than an SUV. Subaru’s all-wheel drive gives it a distinctive appeal in a class usually led by front-wheel-drive rivals, and its sensible size suits town trips, commuting and everyday errands. With a 1.5-litre petrol engine, this Impreza is aimed at drivers wanting a straightforward hatchback with extra all-weather confidence, rather than sporty performance. It can work for small families, commuters and buyers who value secure traction; its five-door layout helps with passengers and shopping. Mycarcheck records 20 look-ups covering 13 different VINs, so the sample is modest. Across these checks, average private-sale value is £5,400; recorded mileage averages 69,000 miles, annual use 9,000 miles, and previous keepers about four. Against rivals, its all-wheel drive is the standout; compare condition and running costs carefully before buying.
