2007 Subaru WRX STI

​ Cars with character are slowly becoming a thing of the past; regulations call for machines stripped of what makes them driver cars, and changing customer tastes mean popular marques are slowly making their way off the production lines. Present today is this 2017 Subaru WRX STI. Hailing from Clayton, North Carolina, this Japanese weapon of performance is the perfect drag-strip dasher, track weapon, or even the perfect way to take on the great outdoors in style.

A track-ready weapon means just that: a machine that's ready for track and nothing else. But what if there was a way around it, what if you could drive your machine to the track, negotiate those apex with precision and speed, and then head on home with the same machine you experienced driving nirvana in? If this is what you are looking for, look no further: this heavily-ugraded 2017 Subaru WRX STI has over 29,000 miles on its clock and is a machine ready for battle on the track and to take you back home as well.

Subarus are renowned for their go-anywhere ability, superb handling, and reliability. Most of this is thanks to the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system that can only be found in Subarus. Snow, mud, gravel, or tarmac - the Subaru gets you covered. The Subaru WRX model is based on the Impreza, which was created for the World Rally Championship. In 2015, it saw a complete redesign and entered the 2016 model year with some welcoming changes. This Los Gatos, California-based 2016 Subaru WRX STI is up for grabs with a few awe-inspiring upgrades. It is a blast to drive even without upgrades, thanks to the turbo and sharp handling. We were told that this example has 60,000 miles on its clock. Let's find out what it has to offer.

The Subaru WRX STI has long been one of the most celebrated all-wheel-drive performance cars ever produced, earning its reputation through rally competition and a devoted enthusiast following. By 2013, the STI had evolved into a refined yet highly capable sport sedan that retained the raw driving experience that made the nameplate famous. This 2013 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Sedan is finished in the iconic WR Blue Pearl, a color synonymous with Subaru’s World Rally Championship heritage. Showing 172,492 miles, this STI features desirable factory equipment including Alcantara and leather-trimmed seating surfaces, a factory STI short throw shifter, and the signature symmetrical all-wheel-drive system. For buyers seeking a practical four-door performance car with genuine motorsports DNA, this STI remains one of the most compelling options of its era.

It’s David from David and Goliath here today with us. This gutsy little Matte Gray 2010 Subaru Impreza WRX STI packs a punch that can literally take down giants from several classes above. But that’s been the Subaru Impreza WRX STI’s forte since it launched way back in 1992. Today’s example comes with some superb modifications that really take it into a new level of performance. The current owner reports that the car is a garage kept, single owner car with all records and paperwork available. This includes records of not only oil changes and maintenance items, but all the mods done to this 143,000-mile machine from Cary, North Carolina. Oh, and dyno tests reportedly show nearly 500 horses at the wheels! Could you ask for more Japanese hot hatch perfection? We doubt it…

Widely known as one of the fastest point-to-point cars across less than perfect roads, the Subaru Impreza WRX STI is a high-performance derivative of Subaru’s bread-and-butter Impreza sedan and wagon. Sporting a burbly turbocharged flat-four engine and a grippy all-wheel drive system, an Impreza WRX STI is a thrilling machine to be piloting. Naturally, there’s endless possibilities for customization and upgrades, as evidenced by this 2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STI that’s for sale with us. The car comes with over 110,000 miles on the clock, but that’s nothing for a well-maintained example such as this one.
