Model profile
The Impreza on today's US used market spans two recent generations. The fourth generation (2012–2016) introduced the FB-series boxer engines and a big efficiency gain over the earlier models. The fifth generation (2017–2023) was the first Subaru built on the Subaru Global Platform, sharpening the handling, stiffening the body and improving refinement and safety significantly.
Powertrain and equipment
US Impreza engines are naturally aspirated boxer fours. The fourth and fifth generations used the 2.0-litre FB20 (around 148–152 hp), while the newer cars offer a 2.5-litre FB25 (around 152 hp) with more mid-range torque.
US Impreza trims typically run Base, Premium, Sport and Limited. Higher grades add alloy wheels, a larger touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated seats, and Subaru's EyeSight driver-assistance suite with adaptive cruise and lane keeping.
Vehicle selection
Imprezas sell steadily across the northern US states, where all-wheel drive is prized, so supply is good and geographically spread.
A used Impreza suits a buyer who wants a dependable, all-weather compact with standard AWD, useful practicality and a strong safety record — without the running costs of a larger SUV.

Pre-purchase review
The modern Impreza is a broadly reliable car, but the boxer platform has known characteristics worth checking. The FB engines can consume some oil, so verify oil level and condition and look for a documented top-up habit rather than neglect.
Germany and Europe
US Imprezas share their mechanical core with global versions but differ in equipment and legal detail.
Typical conformity work includes fitting or activating a rear fog lamp, adapting the lighting to European standards, converting the speedometer/odometer to km/h, and compiling the technical documentation for individual approval.
USCar Trader services
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.

Questions and answers
Yes. Symmetrical all-wheel drive is standard on every US-market Impreza, which is a key reason to import one.
The five-speed manual is rare and appeals to enthusiasts; the Lineartronic CVT is more common and easier for everyday use. Check CVT condition carefully.
No. The turbocharged WRX and WRX STI are separate performance models. The Impreza uses naturally aspirated boxer engines.
No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case.

Broadly reliable. Watch oil consumption on the boxer engine and CVT health, and inspect for rust on northern-state cars.
The five-door hatchback offers the most practicality and is the easiest to live with day to day.
Typically several weeks, driven mainly by shipping schedules and the customs and approval steps.
No. We are an independent broker and intermediary for used US vehicles, with no margin on the car and no manufacturer partnership.
