This Subaru Impreza WRX is a usable example of the iconic all-wheel-drive performance car; which benefited from a repaint in 2023. Under the bonnet sits a turbocharged 2.0-litre ‘EJ20’ flat-four, producing up to 160kW and 290Nm of torque and driving all four wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. This example is noted to be an original Australian-delivered car. The odometer indicates 253,567 kilometres from new. Build year: 1998 This WRX is finished in Dark Blue Mica over a black cabin featuring upgraded black and red cloth upholstery, with grey carpets. It rides on 15-inch five-spoke gold alloy wheels, with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres. The specification includes air conditioning, a tow bar, power windows, a Momo steering wheel, a heated rear screen, and electrically adjustable door mirrors. The car has been fitted with a heavy-duty clutch kit, a turbo-back stainless-steel exhaust, repainted original wheels, and aftermarket gauges mounted on the dashboard. It also features a manual turbo boost controller and an air pod filter in the front bumper. Accompanying the car are the owner’s manuals, spare wheel and two keys. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the car was repainted in 2023; it now shows a small scuff on the rear bumper, and usual wear on the driver’s seat. The most recent inspection of roadworthiness was conducted in March 2025 during which the seller reports that no warnings or advisory items were noted. The latest service was carried out in 2024 at approximately 248,000 km by Autospark Malaga. The work comprised of an engine oil and filter change, along with the replacement of all of the car’s fluids and fitment of a new power steering pump. The seller states that the car has been serviced annually by Autospark Malaga during their ownership. This Subaru Impreza WRX is a rally-inspired performance icon. Presented in an attractive repainted Dark Blue Mica colour scheme now with appropriate gold-toned wheels, it would be a fun addition to any assembly of modern classics, and it should deliver a rewarding driving experience out on the new owner’s favourite roads.
