The SUBARU IMPREZA (2000-07) 5DR SPORTWAGON 4WD 1.5 R is a compact five-door estate, often described as a sportwagon, offering more useful boot space than a conventional hatchback without the bulk of an SUV. Its four-wheel drive gives it a distinctive place among small family cars of the 2000s, when many rivals sent power only to the front wheels. mycarcheck.com has recorded 235 checks covering 102 different VINs, a useful snapshot of cars being researched rather than a measure of total UK sales. Checked examples averaged 95,000 miles and around 3,000 miles of annual use; the average recorded private-sale value was £2,000. The data also shows close to four previous keepers on average, so condition and service history deserve careful attention. It suits practical drivers seeking an affordable, versatile used car for commuters; compared with front-drive hatchbacks, its all-wheel-drive grip stands out, though expect modest performance rather than modern refinement.
