Buying Tips for the Subaru Impreza Mk4 (GJ/GP)

  • ✓Check the oil level before and after the test drive, then ask directly how often the car needs topping up.
  • ✓A smooth CVT and proof of fluid servicing matter more than a low owner count on these cars.
  • ✓Test the air conditioning hard, as weak condensers often look like a simple regas issue at first.
