How much does the 2014 Subaru Impreza cost?

Prices have softened 1.15% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 781 listings available, which suggests you should have a reasonable number of options to compare. If you find a listing below $8,908.37, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2014 Subaru Impreza a good car?

Yes — the 5/5 user rating lines up with a 6.33/10 expert score, so you’re looking at a model that earns broad approval even if it isn’t class-leading in every area. The 2014 Impreza’s appeal is its affordable, versatile, efficient all-wheel-drive setup, which makes it a practical fit if you want traction and everyday usefulness without stepping up to a larger vehicle. The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

That said, the same expert evaluation also points to weaker refinement and technology, so you should expect a car that prioritizes function over polish. The 28.2% good-or-great-deal share suggests there are still some attractive listings in the market.

Is the 2014 Subaru Impreza reliable?

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

The expert evaluation also points to solid dependability language, including a recommendation that owners should enjoy top-notch dependability. On the other hand, the same assessment notes below-average reliability and mediocre initial quality predictions, so you should weigh that against the car’s practical strengths and standard all-wheel drive.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that a promising ownership experience can still be offset by reliability uncertainty, so condition and maintenance history matter.

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

At 57.4% 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 been in a prior collision. Focus on body condition, panel alignment, and signs of uneven wear, since those can reveal whether repairs were done well. It’s also smart to compare trim equipment carefully so you know exactly what safety and convenience features you’re getting.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base 2.0i sedan comes with 15-inch steel wheels, Bluetooth, heated front seats, USB and auxiliary inputs, power windows, and air conditioning, while higher trims add features like alloy wheels, upgraded audio, cruise control, chrome accents, a rear stabilizer bar, HD radio, a 4.3-inch center display screen, leather upholstery, automatic climate control, fog lights, and a rear-view camera. The base trim is the most stripped-down version, so feature gaps are most noticeable there.
• 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. EPA estimates for the CVT are 27 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined.
• Safety package: The car 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, lane-departure warning, and similar driver aids are absent.
• Infotainment: The optional navigation system adds Aha smartphone integration, satellite radio, iTunes tagging, text-messaging assistance, and touchscreen controls, while Bluetooth is standard even on the base car. The screen size is 4.3 inches on the Limited trim.
• Fuel efficiency: The CVT is rated at 27 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined, and the test drive returned 29.7 mpg.

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, 2.0i Sport Limited.

Here's the short version:

• Base trim: The 2.0i sedan is the most affordable entry point, but it lacks the upgraded audio, cruise control, chrome accents, rear stabilizer bar, leather upholstery, automatic climate control, fog lights, and rear-view camera found higher up the range.
• Sweet-spot trim: The 2.0i Premium is the best value if you want a meaningful step up from the base car without jumping to the most expensive versions, thanks to 16-inch alloys, upgraded audio, cruise control, chrome accents, and a rear stabilizer bar.
• Premium/top trim: The 2.0i Limited is the most appealing choice if you want the richest feature set, with HD radio, a 4.3-inch center display screen, leather upholstery, automatic climate control, fog lights, and a rear-view camera.
• Off-road trim: None of the trims is positioned as an off-road choice for typical daily driving.

The safety package is strongest when you move beyond the base setup, since the rear-view camera is part of the higher-trim equipment 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: 28.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 781 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 1.15% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 57.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $8,908.37, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2014 Subaru Impreza's resale value?

The current average of $9,198 sits slightly below last year's $9,305.

That mild decline suggests the market has softened a bit, which can help you buy at a more favorable point in the cycle. For a future seller, that also means resale performance may depend more on condition, mileage, and equipment than on broad market momentum alone. Listings that are accident-free and well maintained should be easier to move when it’s time to sell.

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?

The 2014 Impreza earns an overall five-star rating from NHTSA and has been named a Top Safety Pick by IIHS.

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

The safety equipment 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, lane-departure warning, and similar driver-assistance features 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:

• 28.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 57.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 1.15% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Subaru’s affordable, versatile, efficient all-wheel-drive formula is the key strength this year.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $10,207, the 2015 costs more than the current year's $9,198 average.
• It adds better technology and a quieter, more polished cabin.

The bottom line: You should lean toward the 2014 if you want the lower entry price and Subaru’s core all-wheel-drive practicality. If you’re willing to spend more for a nicer cabin and improved tech, the 2015 is the better upgrade path; if price matters most, the 2014 remains the smarter buy.
