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

    bluedriver and the ios app are the best — 99$ and even provides “most common cause & fix” suggestions for codes that pop up — you can get it on amazon

      Somewhat anecdotal, but I don’t believe the suggested fixes are from any actual make/model history. It’s just the top answers from fixya for those codes. My model is notorious for not needing standard fixes but that’s all I saw in the screenshots provided. But if my weird model is inaccurate, I have no reason to believe the suggestions are any better than the Google search summary.
