2025 Subaru Impreza

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 Impreza.

The 2025 Subaru Impreza maintains a clean record with zero recalls and only four owner complaints centered on the engine, service brakes, and steering. This performance sits within a broader model history spanning 1990 to 2026, far removed from the 300 complaints recorded during the model's peak in 2002. With the 2026 model year projected to reach a low of one complaint, the 2025 version marks a point of high stability in the vehicle's long-term reliability trajectory.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 6,000 mi; spark plugs every 60,000 mi; coolant every 6,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 6,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2025 Subaru Impreza shows a complaints figure of 4 with zero recalls and zero investigations, placing it among the lowest-complaint years in the dataset alongside 2026 (1 complaint). This represents a sharp decline from the generation's peak complaint years—2012 (242 complaints) and 2013 (248 complaints)—and continues the downward trend observed since 2019 (191 complaints). The target year's complaint areas are fragmented across steering, brakes, engine, exterior lighting, powertrain, and driver assistance systems, with no single category dominating, suggesting no systemic defect. With only 1 crash complaint and 0 fire complaints recorded, safety-related issues appear minimal. The 117 TSBs recorded is also notably lower than the 193-200 range in 2023-2024, indicating fewer technical service bulletins issued. **Takeaway:** The 2025 Impreza appears to be an excellent year to buy within this generation—it has near-record-low complaints, no open recalls, and no active investigations, suggesting strong early reliability. However, being the most recent model year, the data may be incomplete as more owners report issues over time.
