Seller's Notes

This Subaru Impreza WRX STi Version 5 Wagon is a lightly modified example of the marque’s practical performance estate car, which benefits from a recent full exterior repaint. It is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre ‘EJ20’ flat-four producing around 206kW and sending it to all four wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. The seller notes that this is one of only 642 GF8-generation STi Version 5s produced, and one of only 264 finished in white. The seller notes the car benefitted from a full glass out bare metal repaint in December 2023, and during ownership the interior plastics, dashboard cubby, shift knob, shifter boot, and various clips have all been restored or replaced. The odometer shows 162,212 kilometres. This Impreza WRX STi Wagon is finished in white over a black cloth-trimmed interior, featuring grey synthetic suede inserts on the seats and door cards, embroidered red ‘STi’ lettering on the front seat backs, and red cloth accents on the front seats. It rides on 16-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres. The specification includes a heated rear screen, rear window tints, roof bars, electrically adjustable folding door mirrors, automatic air conditioning, and electric windows. It also includes a very rare factory optioned STi rear strut brace Modifications include metal stamped door trim finishers, and a Sony Apple CarPlay and Android Auto infotainment system.
