Quick summary

The 2014 Subaru Impreza shows a notably lower overall defect rate of 154 defects per 100 vehicles, compared to the yearly average of 194 defects per 100, marking a 20.7% improvement. While tyre wear is not highlighted as a primary concern, the model excels in categories such as brakes and steering, with defects significantly below average. However, it does face challenges in body and structure defects, where it performs worse than the average. Mileage-related trends indicate an increase in defects with distance travelled, particularly noticeable in the higher mileage brackets. Overall, the Impreza demonstrates a strong performance in many areas, although attention is needed for its body integrity as it ages.
