CAR OVERVIEW
Subaru WRX STI 2016
Overview
Subaru WRX STI 2016 finished in Grey with Black leather interior showing just 46,530 km / 28,912 miles. This Grade 4.5 example with B grade interior presents exactly the kind of WRX STI buyers want to find in Japan, clean, well cared for and completely true to Subaru’s rally bred DNA.
The auction report notes only a single U1 small dent to the rear quarter area and one A1 scratch to the rear bumper. Both imperfections appear minor and should respond extremely well to paintless dent removal and a professional machine polish during preparation. With a full detail from Adept, this WRX STI would present incredibly well once landed in the UK.
The VA chassis WRX STI remains one of the final truly analogue turbocharged AWD performance saloons. Hydraulic feel, mechanical grip, aggressive gearing and rally inspired handling make these cars one of the most exciting point to point performance cars ever produced. Whether you are attacking B roads, enjoying mountain roads or simply appreciating one of Subaru’s final proper STI models, the 2016 WRX STI continues to deliver a driving experience modern cars struggle to replicate.

Why The 2016 Subaru WRX STI Matters
The 2016 Subaru WRX STI represents one of the last proper rally inspired performance saloons built before the automotive world moved towards heavy hybrid systems and artificial driving experiences. The combination of symmetrical all wheel drive, turbocharged boxer engine and six speed manual gearbox creates a car that feels alive in every condition.
Subaru’s World Rally Championship heritage runs through every part of the WRX STI. The steering response, mechanical grip and confidence at speed make these cars incredibly rewarding to drive on UK roads. It is the sort of car that turns an ordinary B road into your own private rally stage while still being practical enough to use every single day.
Low mileage Japanese examples like this also carry huge advantages over vehicles sourced elsewhere in the world. Cleaner roads, stricter inspections and better ownership culture in Japan generally mean better condition vehicles with less corrosion and less abuse.
At Autoselecta, Subaru models remain some of our favourite vehicles to source from Japan and we spend significant time selecting the very best examples available.
