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

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.
