The seller offers for sale this 1998 Subaru Impreza, powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder boxer engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. This example is presented in the classic Subaru blue that is so closely associated with the model, and shows an indicated mileage of around 240,000 km. According to the seller, the engine has been rebuilt and strengthened, fitted with STI connecting rods and bearings for added durability.
As a first-generation Impreza with a manual gearbox and the signature flat-four soundtrack, this car offers the engaging, all-weather driving character that made the model a cult favourite. The uprated internal components make it an interesting proposition for an enthusiast looking for a usable and characterful modern classic.
The Subaru Impreza rose to prominence in the 1990s on the back of its extraordinary success in the World Rally Championship, where its combination of a turbocharged boxer engine and symmetrical all-wheel drive proved devastatingly effective. That motorsport pedigree transformed the Impreza from a compact family car into one of the most iconic performance saloons of its generation, and the blue-and-gold rally cars remain fixed in the memory of a whole era of enthusiasts.
Beneath the styling, the appeal of the Impreza lies in its distinctive engineering: the low-mounted boxer engine, the balanced all-wheel-drive chassis and the unmistakable exhaust note. First-generation cars like this one are increasingly sought after as the model earns genuine classic status. With its rebuilt and reinforced engine, this Impreza represents an appealing opportunity for the enthusiast who values the model’s rally-bred character and everyday usability.
