Description
A properly sorted Subaru Impreza WRX STI, this example offers everything enthusiasts look for from Subaru’s iconic performance flagship, with the added benefit of some carefully chosen upgrades that focus on reliability, drivability and long-term ownership.
Showing 72, 000 miles and supplied with its original book packs and a full service history, the standout feature is undoubtedly the forged engine build. Costing in excess of £6, 000, this was carried out with longevity in mind rather than chasing big power figures. The previous owner wanted to retain the character and usability of a standard STI, and a dyno printout showing 338bhp confirms exactly that.
Alongside the forged engine, the car benefits from a Process West black top-mount intercooler kit, Bilstein B16 suspension all round and a Kenwood Apple CarPlay head unit, adding a welcome touch of modern convenience without detracting from the car’s original appeal.
Factory specification remains exactly where it should be, including the superb 6-speed manual gearbox, Subaru’s renowned four-wheel-drive system, SI-Drive, adjustable centre differential, cruise control, factory Recaro seats and lightweight Enkei alloy wheels shod in recent Michelin Pilot sport 5 tyres.
The STI has always been a car that delivers far more than just straight-line pace.
The combination of sharp steering, excellent traction and a genuinely engaging drivetrain means it remains one of the most rewarding performance cars to drive on a British road, whatever the weather.
This example feels particularly well judged. The modifications have been chosen by an owner who clearly understood what makes an STI special, improving the areas that matter whilst preserving the character that enthusiasts value.
Presented with a full service history, original book packs and an MOT valid until June 2027 with no advisory items, this is a well-maintained and increasingly hard-to-find STI that offers peace of mind alongside the performance.
