With just 555 units ever produced, the S203 is Subaru Technica International’s most focused and exclusive Impreza of the era — a true collector’s JDM icon.

Favourite thing about this car
The S203 offers a pure, engaging driving experience — a perfect blend of STi performance engineering and lightweight agility. It’s a car that rewards spirited driving yet remains refined enough for everyday enjoyment, making it the ultimate driver’s Impreza.
