The SUBARU WRX STI (2010-18) is a focused, four-wheel-drive performance car, sold in the UK as a hatchback in earlier years and a saloon later on. It sits well outside the family-car crowd: think rally-inspired pace and grip rather than low-cost motoring. Its roomy cabin and useful boot make it more usable day to day than sports cars. Among mycarcheck.com checks, 3,150 look-ups covered 1,074 distinct VINs, giving a snapshot of cars shoppers research. The average private-sale valuation was £14,900, while recorded mileage averaged 50,000 miles and annual mileage 4,000. Cars had around three previous keepers on average. These figures describe checked vehicles, not every WRX STI for sale. Best for enthusiasts wanting an all-weather commute or weekend drive, it rewards drivers with grip and a feel. Against rivals such as the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, it stands out for rally heritage and practicality, though running costs exceed ordinary hatchbacks.
