The SUBARU IMPREZA (2000-07) 4DR SALOON 4WD 2.5 WRX SL is a compact, four-door performance saloon rather than a family hatchback or SUV. In the UK used-car market, it sits in a specialist enthusiast niche: a practical-looking everyday car with all-wheel drive and lively performance, now valued mainly by buyers seeking character and grip. It suits experienced drivers who want a distinctive commute or weekend car, and can still carry passengers and luggage; it is less ideal for someone prioritising low running costs or a first car. Against rivals such as the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, the Impreza is known for secure all-weather traction and an engaging, rally-inspired drive. Mycarcheck recorded 137 checks across 39 VINs; average private-sale valuation was £4,100, mileage 89,000 and annual use 4,000 miles, with 5.6 previous keepers. Treat these figures as guides, not guarantees, and check each car’s history and condition carefully before buying, where possible.
