CAR OVERVIEW
Subaru Forester STI 2006
Overview
The Subaru Forester STI remains one of the most sought after performance Subarus ever produced and represents a unique combination of rally inspired engineering, practical usability and genuine enthusiast appeal.
Finished in Blue and showing 81,773 kilometres or approximately 50,810 miles, this 2006 Forester STI Version is a rare Japanese domestic market performance model powered by Subaru's legendary turbocharged boxer engine and paired with a desirable 6 speed manual transmission.
Built exclusively for the Japanese market, the Forester STI took everything enthusiasts loved about the Impreza WRX STI and packaged it into a practical SUV body, creating one of the most underrated performance cars of its era.
With values continuing to rise and clean examples becoming increasingly difficult to source, the SG9 Forester STI is rapidly becoming a modern Subaru collectible.
