This Subaru Impreza WRX STi is an exciting and ever-popular modern classic rally-derived Japanese performance hero, which has been enhanced with a couple of discerning upgrades. Under the bonnet sits a turbocharged 2.0-litre ‘EJ20’ flat-four, delivering around 206kW to all four wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. This example was originally a Japan-delivered model, which was recently imported to Australia with an auction grade of 4.5A, where it passed compliance in December 2024. The odometer is 15,350 km. Build year: 2005 This Impreza WRX STi is finished in the quintessential shade of WRC Blue Mica, over a black cloth and blue synthetic suede-trimmed interior, featuring embroidered ‘STi’ logos on the front seat backs, and satin gunmetal and silver trim. It rides on a set of 17-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels finished in gold, framing gold Brembo brake callipers, and fitted with Accelera 651 tyres. Equipment includes xenon headlights, a rear roof spoiler, a rear screen wiper, a Driver Controlled Centre Differential (DCCD), automatic air conditioning, an intercooler water sprayer, and electrically operated windows and door mirrors. This example has been enhanced with legal rear window tints, genuine Subaru rainshields, an aftermarket reversing camera, a front dash/security camera, and a Kenwood double-DIN media system. The car comes with a space-saver spare wheel, the Japanese owner’s manuals in a blue plastic wallet, the Japanese service booklet, grading and certifying certificates from Proto Corporation and JAAA, the original USS Tokyo auction sheet, the compliance paperwork, certificate and information, a JDM Subaru WRX STi catalogue, and a maintenance invoice. One ignition key is included. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. The last maintenance was in February 2025 at an indicated 15,016 km by Edge Motorworks, which consisted of an engine oil and filter change and an extensive inspection. Japanese service history can be seen in the photo gallery. This Subaru Impreza WRX STi is a desirable and rewarding modern classic rally-inspired Japanese performance sedan, which has been fitted with a couple of choice upgrades. Presented with a quintessential colour scheme, muscular styling, and boasting a characterful turbocharged flat-four engine coupled to a five-speed manual gearbox, it would make an excellent addition to any collection of Japanese performance heroes, and an exciting companion for retro daily driving, weekend fun, and car show visits alike.
