Under the bonnet is a turbocharged 2.0-litre EJ20 flat-four, producing around 147kW coupled to Subaru’s asymmetrical all-wheel-drive system via a five-speed manual transmission. Boasting just four owners from new, this example has been with its current keeper for just under three years. The odometer shows 293,500 kilometres.
