Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2026 Impreza.
The 2026 Subaru Impreza sits at the most favorable end of the nameplate's documented reliability history, with one owner-reported complaint and zero recalls on file. That lone complaint is categorized under Wheels, making it both the total complaint count and the top complaint area for this model year. Across the 1990–2026 record, complaint volume peaked at 300 for the 2002 model and bottomed out at one for 2026.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The federal record shows complaints peaked in the early 2000s, reaching 300 in 2002 with six recalls and four investigations, then fluctuated but remained elevated through the 2010s. After 2019, complaints began a steady decline, falling from 191 in 2019 to just four in 2023 and four again in 2025, while recalls dropped to zero in 2025 and stayed at zero in 2026. The 2026 model year records only one complaint, with no recalls, investigations, or fire/crash complaints, the lowest figures in the entire dataset. This positions 2026 at the tail end of a clear downward trend in both complaint and recall activity. Consequently, based solely on the supplied federal data, the 2026 Subaru Impreza appears to be a reliable choice for a used‑car purchase.
