Overview

This Subaru WRX STI Type S is a proper performance saloon that delivers everything you expect from the STI name. Finished in blue with a black interior and showing 91,612 km, this example is graded 3.5 with a C grade interior, reflecting honest use over time.

The Type S variant sits as one of the more refined yet still aggressive versions of the WRX STI. It combines Subaru’s rally heritage with everyday usability, offering sharp handling, strong turbocharged performance and one of the most engaging all wheel drive systems in its class.

With visible cosmetic wear noted throughout, this car presents an opportunity to secure a genuine STI at a much lower entry point. The condition is fully reflected in the grading, making it a smart buy for someone focused on performance rather than presentation.
