Used Subaru Impreza for Sale in Stoke-on-Trent

About the Subaru Impreza

The Subaru Impreza is a compact family car that has been part of the brand's range since the early 1990s, and it has always been built around Subaru's symmetrical all-wheel-drive layout. The saloon body style, which this page covers, was sold alongside the hatchback and estate versions, and the car has been produced in several generations over the decades. The example listed here is a 2005 model, from the generation sold in the mid-2000s, when the Impreza was offered in a wide spread of trims ranging from everyday family models to performance variants.

The car on this page is the 2.0 WRX STI Type UK, the performance flagship of that generation. It uses a turbocharged 2.0-litre flat-four petrol engine, which delivers strong acceleration and a distinctive boxer engine note, and it was paired with all-wheel drive and a manual gearbox. Buyers of used performance Imprezas are often drawn to the rally-bred handling and grip, while the saloon body offers more practicality than the hatchback versions of the same car.

Owners tend to praise the all-weather traction, the sharp steering and the sense of involvement the car gives on a twisty road. Because performance models were driven hard, it is worth checking the service history carefully, looking for signs of accident damage, and inspecting the clutch, the turbocharger and the cooling system for leaks or overheating. Ask for evidence of regular oil changes, as these engines respond well to careful maintenance.

If you are looking for a characterful, all-wheel-drive performance saloon, this is a model worth considering. Take a look at the car listed below, or get in touch to ask any questions before you visit.
