2009 SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI - 38,915 MILES

KEY FACTS

• A low mileage example of the four-wheel drive hot hatch, which remains completely standard and unmolested.

• Under the bonnet is the 2.5-litre turbocharged flat-four, which produces 296bhp and 300lb-ft of torque. This drives all four wheels via an engaging, short-shift six-speed manual transmission.

• It has had just three owners from new, including the vendor who acquired the car in November 2013.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• Finished in Silver with black leather and Alcantara upholstery, this Impreza rides on its original set of 17-inch alloy wheels, and is equipped with climate control, a radio/CD player with a six-disc changer and rear parking sensors.

• The car is also fitted with a robust boot liner and a dog guard, though both can be easily removed.

• While Impreza STIs are often used as platforms for cosmetic and performance modification, this example is completely standard.

• The car will be accompanied by all of its original handbooks and documentation of its service history, including its stamped service book.

CONDITION

• There is no evidence of any bodywork damage.

• Believed to be entirely original, the silver paintwork is in good overall condition, though there are various marks around the car in line with its use. These include stone chips and scuffs on the front bumper, further stone chips on the bonnet, discolouration on the bonnet scoop and some minor surface corrosion on the inner wheel arches.

• There is also a small chip on the windscreen, and while they have previously been refurbished, the finish on all four alloy wheels is chipped and flaking.

• Inside, the cabin presents well, with minor wear on the driver’s seat’s outer bolster and some scuffs and scratches on the door cards.

• The seller notes the exterior temperature reading is incorrect, but there are no other known electrical or mechanical faults.

• The car’s last MOT test was conducted on 13 April 2021 at 38,902 miles, resulting in a first-time pass with one advisory for slight play in the offside front lower anti-roll bar joint.

SERVICE HISTORY

• This Impreza’s most recent routine maintenance was a minor service, which was carried out in April 2021 by R Stephenson, Saxmundham.

• Prior to this, the car had recent services in March 2020 and December 2019.

• The brake discs and pads were replaced approximately 5,000 miles ago.

SUMMARY

Capable of sprinting from 0-60mph in a brisk 4.8 seconds while also providing space for a family of four and a week’s worth of luggage, this Subaru Impreza WRX STI Type UK is a fantastic all-rounder. Presented in smart overall condition and with low mileage from new, it will make a fine daily driver or weekend plaything, and will no doubt charm its next owner every time they fire up its characterful boxer engine.
