I am looking at a 2007 Subaru Impreza 2.5i for $18,000 new... is that a good deal and what can you tell me about the car?

Yes it is a good car and that is a good deal. The AWD system one of if not the best in the world. It has great handling, is reliable, dependable and the resale value on a well and properly maintained Subaru is high. The shift in the transmission is smooth and the 173 hp is great, it also has the torque to back up the horse power. The trim in the i is nice basically everything you need for options are standard. This car will not leave you stuck. Subaru is in my opinion the best engineered cars on the market now. That's why Toyota bought 10% of the company, they know a good thing. I have also a Subaru owner.

I owned a 1998 Impreza, drove it 100,000 miles in southern Canada and had a few problems,replacing an valve cover seal, and replacing rear wheel bearings three times. 165 HP and averaged 10 l/100km or 28mpg per Canadian gallon. I loved the car so much,I replaced it with a 2008 version,170 HP,and over the first 1700 km or10,000+ miles the average is more like 7.1l/100km or 32 mpg Cdn.Granted summer only driving so far and about 70 to 30 percent highway driving. One little bit of information,I found out the hard way. Authorized Subaru mechanics only. When it was time to change the timing belt, a very good mechanic,but untrained to the boxer engine botched the job,so I took it to a dealer- then no subsequent problems.

Imprezas are nice cars but I suggest putting down an extra 15K to buy an STi. It has a 2.5L Turbocharged 4 cylinder boxer motor with all wheel drive with lots of features like leather seats, ch changer, and STi stitching on the leather. Its an overall deal but if your price range is around the 18K then the 2.5 isnt that bad. If you are going to get the 2.5 i suggest getting the 2007 Special Edition Impreza 2.5i.

I bought a Subaru Impreza in 1996 brand new and I'm still driving it. It has over 150,000 miles on it and runs great. I have done the scheduled maintenance on it, but very few other problems. It has been very reliable. I would buy another Subaru.

Absolutely! Trust me on this one. I know what I'm talking about when it comes to cars and Subaru makes a powertrain system that is second to NONE. The driveline layout is 99.99% perfect. Low center of gravity. Excellent weight distribution. On top of which Subaru uses a Symetrical All Wheel Drive system that is once again "second to none". Not to mention that Subaru uses a 4 cylinder Boxer engine that is known to be very efficient and very die hard long lasting.
I don't own a subaru (yet). But in the future I want to famous WRX Imprezza! And of course the Subaru Legacy 4 door sedan. Both with AWD and both with Stick Shift!
Toyota might make so called "reliable" cars. BUT none are nearly as thoughfully as engineered as the Subarus. While Toyotas are bland and boring. Subarus are sporty and interesting.

Yes, it is a good car. Depending where you are at, and the options, thats a decent price. All wheel drive is the best thing about Subarus in my opinion. The biggest downside though, is the parts are very expensive, as with most imports. Other than that, they are a blast to drive, very reliable, and you can take them just about anywhere.

owned a 98 impreza 2.5 rs, loved it, got me through all kinds of snow, sleet, ice etc, not a lot of cargo space, but great handling, turning radius etc......had no major repairs with it(just the basic stuff) until at about 86,000, had to replace the radiator, clean the heads, water pump, but ended up keeping it for another 5000 miles and she ran as good as new......it was an excellent vehicle

Well it depends what u want. If you want sporty and AWD, thats basically the only car. Family Sedan would be the legacy or the outback thats a real good deal BUY IT

Awsome car!! I would recommend going for one of the turbo charged models, either the WRX or the STi if you can stretch to it.
