Is the 2022 Subaru Impreza a good car?

Generally — the 2022 Subaru Impreza earns a 4.33/5 user rating, which points to strong shopper satisfaction. The overview frames it as a practical all-weather compact that emphasizes standard all-wheel drive, everyday usefulness, and affordable, practical fun rather than flash.

Is the 2022 Subaru Impreza reliable?

Owners rate it 4.33/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

The overview suggests the Impreza’s reliability story is tied to its straightforward, practical character and its focus on everyday usefulness. Its strengths are balanced by a rough daily ride and cheap interior materials, which are more comfort and refinement concerns than durability red flags. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is ending up with a car that has been worn harder than its mileage suggests, so condition matters.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Subaru Impreza?

At 73.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and confirm whether any prior damage was repaired properly. Put inspection priority on body condition, panel alignment, and signs of uneven wear, since those can reveal how the car was treated. Focus on overall condition rather than just mileage, because a practical all-weather car can still hide hard use.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Subaru Impreza?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop but should still move quickly on strong listings.

• Deal availability: 31.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 612 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.64% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 73.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $17,871, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Subaru Impreza's resale value?

The current average of $17,872 sits slightly below last year's $19,563.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable entry point today. For a future seller, that also means resale value may depend more on how well the car is maintained and presented than on broad market momentum. If you keep the car clean, documented, and accident-free, you give yourself a better chance of standing out when it is time to sell.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.33/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Should I buy a 2022 Subaru Impreza or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 31.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 73.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.64% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.33/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $17,772, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $17,872 average.
• It offers standard all-wheel drive and a simple, practical trim structure.

The bottom line: If you want the current-year market with a decent number of deals and a clear value trend, the 2022 is the stronger default choice. If your priority is shaving a little more off the purchase price, the 2021 is the better secondary path, especially if you find one in cleaner condition.
