Used 2014 Subaru Impreza for SaleNationwide

How much does the 2014 Subaru Impreza cost?

Prices are up 2.34% year-over-year — a sign of continued demand for this model year.

There are 741 listings available, which gives you a modest amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2014 Subaru Impreza a good car?

Yes — it earns a 5/5 user rating and a 6.33/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

The 2014 Impreza’s appeal comes from its affordability, versatility, efficiency, and standard all-wheel drive, which make it a practical compact car with extra traction. Its main tradeoffs are refinement and technology, since the four-cylinder feels sluggish in real-world driving and the cabin comes up short on polish.

The market still shows 30.2% good or great deals, which suggests 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 standard all-wheel drive, and the expert notes that owners should enjoy top-notch dependability. The same evaluation also points to below-average reliability and mediocre initial quality, so you should weigh that against the model’s practical strengths.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that condition and maintenance history matter more than the badge alone, especially if you want to avoid ownership surprises.

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

At 57% 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 pre-purchase inspection, especially on cars with higher mileage or visible wear. Focus on body condition, signs of prior repair, and whether the car’s equipment and drivability match the seller’s description.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base 2.0i is the most affordable and comes with standard all-wheel drive, Bluetooth, heated front seats, USB and auxiliary input jacks, power windows, and air conditioning. The 2.0i Premium adds 16-inch alloys, upgraded audio, cruise control, chrome accents, and a rear stabilizer bar. The 2.0i Limited adds HD radio, a 4.3-inch center display screen, leather upholstery, automatic climate control, fog lights, and a rear-view camera. The 5-door-only Sport Premium and Sport Limited mirror their non-sport counterparts but 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 with hill-start assist is standard on most trims, while Limited models use a CVT with paddle shifters. The CVT is tied to EPA estimates of 27 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined.
• Safety package: The Impreza 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.
• Infotainment: Bluetooth is standard, but the optional navigation system in Premium and Limited trims is the route to Aha smartphone integration, satellite radio, iTunes tagging, text-messaging assistance, and touchscreen controls. The nav system adds $2,100 to the sticker price.
• Fuel efficiency: The CVT is estimated 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, 2.0i Sport Limited.

Here's the short version:

• 2.0i sedan: This is the entry point if you want the lowest price and can live without the extra comfort and convenience features found higher up. It already gives you standard all-wheel drive, Bluetooth, heated front seats, USB and auxiliary input jacks, power windows, and air conditioning.
• 2.0i Premium: This is the best-value choice if you want a more rounded daily driver without jumping to the priciest trims. You get 16-inch alloys, upgraded audio, cruise control, chrome accents, and a rear stabilizer bar.
• 2.0i Limited: Choose this if you want the most comfort and convenience in the sedan lineup. It adds HD radio, a 4.3-inch center display screen, leather upholstery, automatic climate control, fog lights, and a rear-view camera.
• 2.0i Sport Premium: Pick this if you want the 5-door body style with a little more visual distinction. It mirrors the Premium trim but adds 17-inch alloy wheels, special interior fabric, and distinct rocker panels.
• 2.0i Sport Limited: This is the most equipped 5-door version, combining the Sport-specific styling with the Limited trim’s added comfort and tech features.

The safety package is strong across the lineup, with 7 airbags, ABS, brake assist, and a rear-view camera available on higher trims.

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 and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 30.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 741 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices are up 2.34% year-over-year.
• Clean inventory: 57.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $8,905, 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 $9,312 sits slightly above last year's $9,100.

That upward move suggests the market has held up reasonably well for this model year, which can help support resale confidence if you buy at the right price. The year-round range is fairly tight, so a clean, well-kept example should remain easier to position later than a rough one.

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 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:

• 30.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 57% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices are up 2.34% year-over-year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It pairs affordability, versatility, efficiency, and standard all-wheel drive.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $10,161, the 2015 costs more than the current year's $9,312 average.
• It adds better interior amenities and a quieter cabin.

The bottom line: If you want the lower entry price and standard all-wheel drive, the 2014 is the better value play. If you can spend more for a nicer cabin and improved tech, the 2015 is the smarter upgrade; price-sensitive buyers should stay focused on the 2014 and shop for a clean, well-priced example.
