Please explain this expression "I don't impress easily." When I checked out the dictionary, the word impress is transitive only. So I think one must always say "I'm not impressed easily." or "I don't get impressed easily." The passive. At first, I thought it's just a mistake, but I noticed many seem to say this way.

Yes, this is just a colloquial way of saying “I’m not easily impressed.” Another similar phrase is “I (don’t) scare easily.” Which means “I get scared easily.” Or “I don’t get scared easily.”

I agree with your assessment. It may be heard that way sometimes, but both of your other suggestions are better options.

‘I don’t impress easily. ‘ is good but a little informal. You’re suggestion is close, but the better word order is: ‘I’m not easily impressed.’
