Parts for your 2012 Subaru Impreza

2012 Subaru Impreza: handy info and high‑level upkeep

The 2012 Subaru Impreza is a tidy all‑rounder for Aussie and Kiwi roads. Its 2.0‑litre boxer four and Symmetrical All‑Wheel Drive deliver planted handling on wet bitumen and gravel backroads. The cabin is straightforward and roomy, and the hatch or sedan layout keeps things practical in the boot. Paired to a 5‑speed manual or smooth CVT, it’s easy to live with and sips fuel sensibly on longer runs.

Under the bonnet, the FB‑series engine uses a timing chain (no belt change) and runs happily on 91 RON unleaded. Stick to the logbook and it’ll clock plenty of kilometres. For mixed city, highway, and the odd dusty detour, plan checks every 10,000–15,000 km or 6–12 months, tightening up if driven hard or off‑seal.

• Engine oil and filter: quality spec, watch level and colour.
• Coolant and hoses: maintain correct mix
