A true product of Subaru’s rally-bred DNA, the Impreza WRX remains one of the most usable and characterful performance cars of the modern era. Built on decades of World Rally Championship success, the WRX blends turbocharged performance, symmetrical all-wheel drive and everyday practicality in a way few rivals have ever matched. Fast, dependable and full of personality, these cars have earned their place as modern classics and good, honest examples are becoming increasingly hard to find.
This 2006 example is presented in the iconic Subaru blue, a colour synonymous with the brand’s motorsport heritage. Showing 87,648 miles and paired with the all-important manual gearbox, it offers the engaging, driver-focused experience that
The car retains all of the defining WRX styling cues, bonnet scoop, aggressive front bumper, rear spoiler and purposeful stance. Sitting on gold alloy wheels with contrasting red brake callipers, it has the unmistakable look that enthusiasts immediately recognise.
The bodywork presents well overall for its age, with a good level of gloss and consistency throughout. As highlighted in the images, there is some lacquer peel to the rear spoiler, a common age-related cosmetic issue on these cars, but it does not detract from the overall presence. Panel fit appears straight and honest, and the car has clearly not been subjected to heavy cosmetic modification, something increasingly desirable as more examples become altered over time.
Inside, the cabin remains true to its WRX roots, functional, driver-focused and built with usability in mind. The original seats are in good condition, showing only light wear consistent with mileage, and retain their support and comfort.
The dashboard layout is clean and familiar, with clear instrumentation and straightforward controls. A modern infotainment screen has been fitted, adding Bluetooth/media functionality while still keeping the interior practical for daily use. Overall, the cabin is tidy, usable and free from excessive wear, reflecting a car that has been cared for rather than neglected.
At the heart of the WRX is Subaru’s turbocharged flat-four engine, delivering strong mid-range performance and that distinctive boxer soundtrack. Paired with Subaru’s symmetrical all-wheel-drive system, the result is a car that feels planted, capable and confidence-inspiring in all conditions.
The engine bay appears largely standard and unmodified, an important point, as many WRXs have been heavily tuned or altered. This example retains a more original feel, which is increasingly sought after. The car starts, runs and drives as expected, offering the responsive and engaging performance that defines the model.
The car is supported by a range of invoices evidencing consistent and sensible maintenance over the years.
Key highlights from the history include, regular servicing, including oil, air and pollen filters. Exhaust system work, including manifold and gasket replacement. Suspension-related maintenance, including a lower ball joint replacement
This is not a car that has been run on a shoestring, rather one that has been maintained incrementally, with issues addressed as they arise. The result is a well-sorted example that feels mechanically honest and ready to be enjoyed.
