I’m thinking of picking up an OBD II scanner to check for codes. My car has some driving issues and maybe I can check for codes and work out a plan. I could take it to a mechanic but I don’t have one I can trust yet.

So any recommendations for reasonably priced scanner that supports a 2018 Impreza?

Thanks

    Torque app on your phone (free) with a Bluetooth reader (<$10).

    Edit: Don’t leave this connected all the time. I’ve seen it cause weird errors if it’s always connected. Just use it to read codes, then throw it in the glove box.

      Torque is one of those apps that has been so useful over the years, I feel like I should buy it a second time.

      It’s a cheap scanner, and it’ll probably rattle apart eventually (I’m on my 3rd). But it’s 10 fucking dollars, literally fast food meal money, totally worth it.
