Description

The 1998 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Version 5 delivers an engaging, raw driving experience rooted in its rally heritage. The lively 2.0 turbocharged engine and five-speed manual combine with firm STi suspension and a front strut brace to offer sharp turn-in, strong mid-range pull and a communicative chassis that rewards enthusiastic driving.

Despite its performance focus, the estate body keeps day-to-day usability practical with five doors, generous cargo space and supportive factory STi seats for longer journeys. Well maintained and UK registered after import, it feels solid and enjoyable to drive — a rare, characterful classic that balances excitement with everyday capability.
