The SUBARU IMPREZA (2000-07) 4DR SALOON 4WD 2.0 WRX STI is a compact four-door performance saloon, not a hatchback or SUV. In the UK it occupies a specialist enthusiast niche, prized for rally-inspired character, all-weather grip and performance. It is often compared with the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, offering a distinctive alternative to family cars. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 166 checks covering 52 different VINs, a snapshot rather than a complete picture of the market. Across those records, the average private-sale valuation was £2,600, average latest mileage was 91,000 miles and recorded annual mileage averaged 3,000 miles. The cars had about 5.8 previous keepers on average, so checking a specific car’s history and condition is especially important. Best suited to enthusiasts seeking an engaging weekend car, it can also handle daily trips, but fuel use and age-related upkeep make budgeting essential; it is less suited to budget-conscious commuters and novice drivers alike.
