Numbers have held broadly steady over recent years rather than falling away — often the mark of a model that owners deliberately preserve. In all, the SUBARU 283 is rarer than 79% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.

About the 283
The Subaru Impreza (Japanese: スバル・インプレッサ, Hepburn: Subaru Inpuressa) is a compact car that has been manufactured by the Japanese automaker Subaru since 1992. It was introduced as a replacement for the Leone, with the predecessor's EA series engines replaced by the new EJ series. It is now in its sixth generation. Subaru has offered a 5-door hatchback body variant since 2008. The firm also offered a coupe from 1995 until 2001, a 4-door sedan up to the fifth generation, and a 5-door wagon from the Impreza's introduction which was replaced by a hatchback with the third generation in 2008.
