Description
The Subaru Impreza WRX has long been regarded as one of the defining performance cars of its era, drawing heavily from Subaru’s success in the World Rally Championship. Its turbocharged flat-four engine and all-wheel-drive system deliver strong performance and all-weather usability, making it a favourite among enthusiasts.
This 2002 “bug-eye” WRX is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged flat-four engine, paired with a manual gearbox and Subaru’s renowned all-wheel-drive system. The vendor reports that the car runs and drives well, with no warning lights present.
The car benefits from a comprehensive service history and has recently been serviced in preparation for sale. Work carried out includes replacement spark plugs, engine, gearbox and differential oil changes, along with new genuine drop links. The braking system has also been refreshed with drilled and vented discs fitted front and rear, along with Mintex brake pads. In addition, an uprated fuel pump and a new turbo actuator have been installed.
Externally, the car presents well overall for its age. The deep red paintwork has a good shine, particularly in sunlight, and suits the car well. There are some minor bumps and scrapes consistent with general use, along with some areas where the lacquer has peeled and may benefit from attention. The car sits on 17-inch gold alloy wheels, which complement the classic Impreza look, and these are fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres all round.
Inside, the cabin is very well presented. The seats show minimal wear for the age of the vehicle, while the door cards, dashboard and centre console are all in good condition. The interior retains a clean and well-kept appearance, with all controls and systems functioning as expected.
Overall, this Subaru Impreza WRX represents a solid and well-maintained example of a modern rally-inspired performance car. With recent mechanical work completed and strong usability, it offers an engaging driving experience alongside everyday practicality.
