The SUBARU IMPREZA (2000-07) 5DR SPORTWAGON 4WD 2.5 WRX SL is a compact, five-door performance estate: more practical than a typical hot hatch, but sportier than a conventional family wagon. In the UK used-car market, it is a distinctive enthusiast choice rather than a mainstream, economical runabout. mycarcheck.com has recorded 42 checks covering 14 distinct VINs, offering a useful snapshot, though not a full-market survey. The checked cars averaged £3,800 in private-sale valuation, 78,000 miles and 4,000 miles a year; recorded keeper history averaged around 3.7 previous keepers. These figures can help frame a vehicle-specific check, not predict every example’s condition or price. Four-wheel drive brings grip in poor weather, and lively performance makes country roads enjoyable, though fuel and upkeep matter more than economy. It suits enthusiasts needing space and year-round capability, but not budget-minded commuters. Against hot hatch rivals, its wagon body and sure-footed character stand out.
