The 2007 Subaru Impreza is a compact car offered as a sedan and wagon, known for its confident all-weather capability and practical daily-driver manners. It sits in the second-generation Impreza lineup (2002–2007), making 2007 one of the final model years before the full redesign for 2008. This model is ideal for drivers who want available Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, a secure feel in rain and snow, and a straightforward, durable layout. In the used market, it’s often cross-shopped with the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla, but stands out for traction and utility rather than ultimate fuel economy or the quietest ride.

- Available Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD) on most trims, a major selling point for winter climates and dirt-road commuting. - Engine options: a 2.5L horizontally opposed “boxer” 4-cylinder in most non-WRX models (commonly 173 hp), plus the performance-oriented Impreza WRX with a turbocharged 2.5L boxer (commonly 224 hp). - Choice of transmissions depending on trim, including a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed automatic; WRX models are often sought after with the manual. - Practical packaging with a usable rear seat, good visibility, and wagon availability for extra cargo flexibility. - Strong enthusiast and aftermarket support (especially for WRX), making it easy to find repair info, parts, and upgrades.
