157,274 miles is the first thing you'll notice, and it's the honest reason this 2016 Impreza 2.0i wagon is priced at $7,219 instead of several thousand more. That's about 15,700 miles a year over ten years — the pattern of a car that was driven regularly rather than parked, which is usually the easier kind of high-mileage history to read.

What you get for the money is the version Autoweb singled out as the value play: the base 2.0i came with symmetrical all-wheel drive, a rearview backup camera and a 6.2-inch Starlink touchscreen standard at an $18,295 starting MSRP, where rivals at that price often left out the basics. This one is the automatic, with the 2.0L 148-hp flat-four, HD radio, USB/iPod input, and Bluetooth audio and hands-free calling. A long-term reviewer at Gearbox Car Reviews scored the 2.0i a 7 out of 10 and put it plainly: "this car has average in spades — it's not going to wow anybody, but it's going to get the job done just fine," while knocking the cheap interior plastics. That's a fair description of what this wagon is — a practical hauler for school runs in Round Rock, gear for a weekend tournament, and the occasional run down to the coast.

At this mileage you should look closely, and we want you to. Take it to your own mechanic for a pre-purchase inspection — we'll hand you the keys for it. The Carfax vehicle history report is yours to read in full before you decide anything. We invite the scrutiny because we expect the car to hold up to it.

When you're ready, we make the rest easy: extended warranty options and GAP coverage if you want the extra protection, financing for every credit situation, and cash buyers are always welcome. No pressure, no runaround — come drive it and see what you think.
