Subaru offered a 4-door saloon up to the fifth generation. Mainstream versions have received "boxer" flat-four engines ranging from 1. 5- to 2. 5-litres, with the performance-oriented Impreza WRX and WRX STI models upgraded with the addition of turbochargers. Since the third generation series, some markets have adopted the abbreviated Subaru WRX name for some of the high-performance variants, with the STi being the upper level offered. Subaru’s naturally aspirated flat-four (boxer) engines comprised of the 1. 5-litre EJ15, the 1. 6-litre EJ16, the 2. 0-litre EJ20, and the 2. 5-litre EJ25.
Turbocharged versions of the 2. 0 and 2. 5-litre engines were offered in the WRX and WRX STI models. STI models featured a more powerful 2. 0-litre turbocharged engine (c. 265bhp). WRX models featured a 2. 0-litre turbocharged boxer engine until 2005, after which they switched to the 2. 5-liter turbocharged engine.
The Impreza (GD) model was offered new from 2003 until 2005, prior to the 2. 5 litre iteration with 0-62mph in 5. 9 seconds, a maximum top speed of 144 mph, the Impreza (GD) 2. 0 WRX offered a 1994cc turbocharged engine with c. 221bhp@5600rpm and a maximum torque of 300 Nm (221 lb. ft) at 4000 rpm from the 4 cylinder, 16 valve boxer engine with multi-point fuel injection, allied to a 5 speed gearbox and all-wheel drive. The Impreza (GD) provided handling via independent McPherson strut with coil springs. anti-roll bar front suspension and independent double wishbones and anti-roll bar rear suspension. For stopping power, the Impreza (GD) 2. 0 WRX AWD braking system included vented discs at the front and vented discs at the rear.
Here we have the iconic Subaru Impeza WRX Turbo (GD), "YT04 NEY" was supplied new in March 2004 by "Bell & Coalville" and delivered to its first owner via "Prodrive" where it was treated to the legendary performance pack upgrade. The service history shows sixteen stamps in the book, the first seven of which are with the suppling Subaru dealership, the car presents well in silver with black leather interior and appears to have been well looked after. We are informed by our vendor that the car is believed to be as supplied, in standard specification with just the official "Prodrive Upgrade" and no further modifications. "YT04 NEY" was also supplied new with the desirable and rare sunroof option. Records included in the history file show a new timing belt and water pump were fitted in 2020 at 127, 946 miles and in 2022 a full service was carried out and new brake pads were fitted along with 4 new Michelin Sport tyres.
