About the Subaru Impreza WRX STI Impreza GD
The second-generation Impreza WRX STI brought a six-speed gearbox and sophisticated all-wheel drive to Subaru’s rally-inspired saloon. The 2003 facelift gave it the distinctive headlamp shape often nicknamed “blobeye”. These figures describe the 2004 US-market 2.5-litre STI, rather than the smaller-capacity Japanese and early European versions. A bonnet scoop and substantial rear wing advertise the performance beneath the four-door body.
