About the Subaru Impreza
The Subaru Impreza, particularly the 2016 model year, is a compact hatchback known for its all-wheel-drive (AWD) capability, making it ideal for Kenyan roads that often transition from tarmac to dirt. Its practicality suits young professionals, small families, and those needing a reliable daily driver with occasional off-road capability. The Impreza's solid build and safety features make it a sensible choice for urban and rural settings alike.
Pros
- AWD capability
- Solid build quality
- Good safety features
- Responsive handling
- Practical hatchback design
Cons
- Potential head gasket issues
- Moderate fuel consumption
- Higher maintenance costs
- Limited rear legroom
- Automatic transmission care needed
Reliability
The Subaru Impreza is generally reliable, with the EJ20 engine known for its durability. However, regular maintenance is crucial to avoid issues with the head gasket, a known weak spot. The AWD system is robust but requires periodic checks to maintain optimal performance.
Maintenance
Routine maintenance is relatively straightforward, with service intervals best kept at every 5,000 km to ensure longevity. The automatic transmission requires careful attention, especially fluid changes, to avoid costly repairs. While not the cheapest to maintain, it's manageable with regular care.
Parts availability
Parts for the Impreza are readily available in Nairobi's Kirinyaga Road and Grogan, with options for both genuine and aftermarket spares. Subaru's authorized service centres can provide genuine parts and complex repairs, though at a premium. Importers and online channels also offer a wide range of spares.
Fuel economy
The 2.0L petrol engine in the Impreza is reasonably efficient for its size, offering moderate fuel consumption in urban settings and better efficiency on the highway. Expect a slight thirst in heavy Nairobi traffic, but it balances out with decent highway mileage.
What to check before buying
- Head gasket leaks
