CarGurus Analysis: 2018 Subaru Impreza

Summary
With 91 currently listed for sale and an average price of $10,517, 53.8% of 2018 Subaru Impreza listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2018 Subaru Impreza 5 / 5 stars.
100.0% of 2018 Subaru Impreza listings on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2018 Subaru Impreza stands out as a practical all-weather compact car with a sporty edge. Owners praise its all-wheel drive capability, sporty feel, and confidence in varied weather, while also noting that it works well for daily use and family needs. That combination of traction, everyday usability, and a more engaging personality than many small cars is a big part of its appeal.
It also earns points for being spacious and comfortable, which helps it fit into real-world commuting and family life. The main drawback mentioned is that trunk space could be larger compared with other models, so buyers who need maximum cargo room may want to keep that in mind. Even so, the 2018 Subaru Impreza’s blend of safety, comfort, and standard all-wheel drive makes it distinctive among used compact cars.

Love how solid the car feels across multiple weather / precipitation situations (were in WI / rain, sleet, ice, snow, wind). Handles great! We love the visibility - large windows and blind spot window additions provide a huge field of view. Dashboard is simple to navigate with just enough tools. Compact and yet plenty of storage (though the trunk space is narrower than our VW GOLF trunk space was). Looking forward to outfitting this with a roof storage system for camping etc.

love the Subaru impreza sedan This is my second one . Perfect size for scooting about town and does well on the highway too. Having maps and Bluetooth in the media centre makes it easy to stay hands-free. Of course having AWD is great in Southern Ontario winters.

| Change vs. Last Year | −0.27% |
Prices have held steady compared to this time last year, signaling a stable and predictable market for this model year.
There are 996 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.
Is the 2018 Subaru Impreza a good car?
Yes — the 5/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction. Owners consistently praise its sporty feel, all-wheel drive capability, and confidence in varied weather, and they also like that it works well for daily use and family needs. Its spacious, comfortable cabin adds to the appeal if you want a practical compact car with a more engaging personality. With 32.6% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a decent chance of finding attractive pricing.
Is the 2018 Subaru Impreza reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The owner feedback emphasizes that it feels dependable, trouble-free, and well suited to long-term use, especially when you want confidence in varied weather. That kind of satisfaction usually matters most if you plan to keep the car for years rather than just a short ownership cycle.
What should I look for when buying a used 2018 Subaru Impreza?
At 61.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should run a vehicle history report on every candidate and prioritize examples with clean records. A pre-purchase inspection is worth it, especially if you want to confirm that the car has been maintained properly and not just cosmetically cleaned up. Focus on overall condition, since prior use and wear can matter as much as mileage on a used compact car.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2018 Subaru Impreza?
This is a moderate buyer’s market, so you can be selective without expecting deep discounts on every listing.
- Deal availability: 32.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 996 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 61.3% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $13,286, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2018 Subaru Impreza's resale value?
The current average of $13,762 sits slightly below last year's $13,799.
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 can make it easier to estimate your future trade-in or private-sale value. Strong owner satisfaction also helps keep demand healthy among used-car shoppers who want a practical all-wheel-drive compact.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2018 Subaru Impreza or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2018 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2018 if:
- 32.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 61.3% 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.
Consider the 2017 if:
- At $12,534, the 2017 costs less than the current year's $13,762 average.
- It offers standard all-wheel drive in a practical, affordable package.
The bottom line: If you want the stronger current-market balance of price stability, broad inventory, and high owner satisfaction, the 2018 is the better default choice. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2017 is the more budget-friendly path and still delivers the core Impreza appeal.
