The Appeal
The Subaru Impreza is a car that’s hard not to love.
From success in the World Rally Championship the road going Impreza WRX was born, and what an impression it made.
With exceptional rally car handling thanks to its fantastic AWD system and performance that was once the sole domain of supercars, the Impreza redefined the idea of a fast road car.

With exceptional rally car handling thanks to its fantastic AWD system and performance that was once the sole domain of supercars, the Impreza redefined the idea of a fast road car.
But if the two litre turbo engine and phenomenal handling of the WRX Impreza weren't enough for you then there was the Prodrive option. Only available as a complete package, the Prodrive performance package pushed the performance of the Impreza even higher.
This Impreza WRX PPP features the Prodrive performance package and comes with the original certificate.

The interior is in very good condition for its age, with the carpets, headlining, dashboard, dials and trim all presenting very well with little sign of wear.
Unusually this Impreza hasn’t received the usual host of unnecessary modifications on the interior, with the only non-standard thing being the stereo. The bolsters on the driver's seat show signs of wear, but aside from that this car gives no impression of its age or mileage.

It’s in very good condition for its age and mileage, with some very minor imperfections to the paint and a lightly scuffed area on the rear bumper, but these really don’t detract from the overall excellent impression this car makes.
