Used 2014 Subaru Impreza for Sale nearLos Angeles, CA

How much does the 2014 Subaru Impreza cost?

Prices have held steady compared to this time last year, signaling a stable and predictable market for this model year.

With 732 listings available, you have a reasonably broad pool to compare prices and equipment.

Is the 2014 Subaru Impreza a good car?

Yes — the 5/5 user rating and 6.33/10 expert rating point to a car that delivers on its core mission. The 2014 Impreza stands out for pairing affordability, versatility, efficiency, and all-wheel drive in one package, which makes it a practical choice if you want extra traction without moving up to something larger or more expensive.

The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

The tradeoff is refinement: the four-cylinder feels sluggish in real-world driving, and the car comes up short on technology and polish. Even so, the Impreza’s broad appeal comes from being a practical compact car with standard all-wheel drive and a useful mix of everyday capability.

29.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there are still worthwhile opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2014 Subaru Impreza reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The Impreza’s value case is helped by its practical design and standard all-wheel drive, and the expert review also points to solid dependability expectations from Consumer Reports. At the same time, the review notes below-average reliability and mediocre initial quality predictions, so you should go in with your eyes open.

For used buyers, that means long-term ownership risk is manageable if you verify maintenance history and choose a well-kept example.

What should I look for when buying a used 2014 Subaru Impreza?

At 56.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has higher mileage or visible wear. Focus on body condition, signs of prior repair, and whether the car’s equipment works as expected, since the Impreza’s value depends heavily on finding a clean, properly maintained example.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base 2.0i gives you standard all-wheel drive, Bluetooth, heated front seats, USB and auxiliary input jacks, power windows, air conditioning, and 15-inch steel wheels. Higher trims add features like upgraded audio, cruise control, chrome accents, a rear stabilizer bar, leather upholstery, automatic climate control, fog lights, and a rear-view camera, while the 5-door Sport trims add 17-inch alloy wheels, special interior fabric, and distinct rocker panels.
• Powertrain: Every version uses a 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder Boxer engine with 148 hp and 145 lb-ft of torque. A 5-speed manual is standard on most trims, while Limited models use a CVT with paddle shifters. The CVT is the efficiency play, with EPA estimates of 27 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined.
• Safety package: The Impreza includes a named suite of standard safety equipment built around 7 standard airbags, 4-wheel antilock disc brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution and brake assist, and crash-optimized construction. A rear-view camera is available, but blind-spot monitoring and lane-departure warning are not part of the equipment list.
• Infotainment: The optional navigation system adds Aha smartphone integration, satellite radio, iTunes tagging, text-messaging assistance, and touchscreen controls, and it is offered in Premium and Limited trims. Bluetooth is standard even on the base car.
• Fuel efficiency: The CVT is rated at 27 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined.

Which 2014 Subaru Impreza trim should I buy?

The 2014 Subaru Impreza is offered in 5 trim levels: 2.0i sedan, 2.0i Premium, 2.0i Limited, 2.0i Sport Premium, and 2.0i Sport Limited.

Here's the short version:

• 2.0i sedan: This is the entry point if you want the lowest price and the core Impreza formula: standard all-wheel drive, Bluetooth, heated front seats, USB and auxiliary input jacks, power windows, and air conditioning. It makes the most sense if you want the essentials and do not need extra comfort or tech.
• 2.0i Premium: This trim adds 16-inch alloys, upgraded audio, cruise control, chrome accents, and a rear stabilizer bar. It is the best-value choice if you want a more rounded daily driver without jumping too far up the price ladder.
• 2.0i Limited: This is the better pick if you want the most comfort and convenience in the sedan lineup, with leather upholstery, automatic climate control, fog lights, a 4.3-inch center display screen, HD radio, and a rear-view camera. It also brings the optional navigation system into play.
• 2.0i Sport Premium: This 5-door-only trim mirrors the Premium’s equipment but adds 17-inch alloy wheels, special interior fabric, and distinct rocker panels. Choose it if you want the hatchback body style with a little more visual flair.
• 2.0i Sport Limited: This is the most equipped 5-door trim and mirrors the Limited’s feature set while adding the Sport-specific exterior and interior touches. It suits you best if you want the hatchback’s utility and the most upscale presentation in the lineup.

The safety package is strong across the board, with the Impreza earning top crash-test recognition and carrying a robust standard safety list.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2014 Subaru Impreza?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently but still move quickly on the right car.

• Deal availability: 29.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 732 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.

What is the 2014 Subaru Impreza's resale value?

The current average of $9,190 sits slightly below last year's $9,267.

That small decline suggests the market has been stable rather than volatile, which is helpful if you plan to sell later. A steady price pattern usually means you are less likely to face a sharp drop in value over a short ownership period.

The Impreza’s standard all-wheel drive and practical reputation should continue to support demand among used-car shoppers. If you keep the car clean, documented, and accident-free, you improve your odds of getting a stronger resale result.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2014 Subaru Impreza safe?

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

The standard safety package includes 7 standard airbags, 4-wheel antilock disc brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution and brake assist, and crash-optimized construction. A rear-view camera is available, but blind-spot monitoring and lane-departure warning are not part of the equipment list.

Should I buy a 2014 Subaru Impreza or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2014 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2014 if:

• 29.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 56.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Subaru’s formula here is affordable, versatile, efficient, and all-wheel drive, but it is held back by a lack of technology and refinement.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $10,299, the 2015 costs more than the current year's $9,190 average.
• It brings better interior amenities and a quieter cabin.

The bottom line: If you want the lower-cost path into a practical all-wheel-drive compact, the 2014 is the better value. If you are willing to spend more for a nicer cabin and improved tech, the 2015 is the smarter upgrade.
