Subaru Impreza Submodels
The Subaru Impreza launched in 1992, but it was its domination in the World Rally Championship that made it an icon. The high-performance WRX and STI variants, with their turbocharged boxer engines and symmetrical all-wheel drive, brought rally-bred performance to the street and created a legion of devoted fans.
Collectors hunt for early, unmolested examples, particularly from the GC8 generation (1992-2001). Limited editions like the 22B STI are the holy grail, representing the peak of Subaru's WRC success. Later generations, known by nicknames like 'bugeye', 'blobeye', and 'hawkeye', also have strong followings for their distinct styling and raw driving experience.
The market for the Impreza is incredibly diverse. While base models are inexpensive daily drivers, the performance variants have seen steady appreciation. Low-mileage, original WRX and STI models are in high demand, while rare, homologation specials command six-figure prices, proving the model's transition into a true collector car.
Buying Tips
- Check for head gasket failure on EJ-series turbo engines, evidenced by oil or coolant leaks.
- Beware of extensive modifications; factory-original cars command a premium and are often more reliable.
- Inspect the rear quarter panels, rocker panels, and subframes for rust, a common issue on cars from wet or snowy climates.
- Listen for whining from the transmission and differentials, and confirm smooth engagement of all gears.
