For Sale: 2012 Subaru Impreza WRX STi in Ft Worth, Texas

Any believer in the notion that "good things come in small packages" needs only to raise the hood on this 2012 Subaru Impreza WRX STi to provide proof. You can likely think of smaller cars, but you'd be hard pressed to come up with an equal to its unique proposition of sporty exterior combined with an unusually efficient and compact powerplant that features a near unparalleled ratio of horsepower to cubic inch, making this compact an absolute blast to drive.

No one goes looking for a WRX to blend into the crowd, so its World Rally blue pearl shade is a fitting color for this concise, performance-centric rocket of a car. It's an eye-catcher for sure, with a nice shine that draws you in. The well-proportioned scoop on its hood, as well as aggressively sized wheels and the dominant spoiler in back, provide additional hints that this is no ordinary compact. Like a boxer required to make weight, there is no excess to be found here - everything from the front air dam to the spoiler is there for a reason - and yet this is a car that offers a viable four door, passenger car configuration within its confines. As befits a car that left the factory with an aftermarket, custom vibe in tow, its sparse badging allows its blue color to take center stage, and the color is effectively complimented with the fresh blackness of the front grille and crisp looking headlights and taillights. This car is fairly lightly traveled at just under 43,691 miles during its nearly seven years of service and it has the appearance of being well-looked after during that time.

The anthracite black interior, a nice blending of leather and suede, has the look of a performance-inspired environment, but is still plenty comfortable for everyday driving. The high-backed buckets in front sport STi branding on their integrated headrests and remain in good shape and supportive, while the bench seat in back shows almost no evidence of use at all. With its brushed aluminum accents and ergonomic layout, the dash area is a definite plus for this Subaru, harboring an array of well-illuminated gauges, and a generously proportioned screen for a navigation system that's integrated with the featured AM/FM/ipod compatible stereo. There's a good assembly of additional comfort features inside, including air conditioning that's blowing nice and cold, cruise control, power locks and windows, a tilt column, and an anti-theft system to help keep this rocket in your possession. The trunk area in back is nice and clean - despite the WRX's relatively small size and race-inspired configuration, there's a surprising amount of luggage space in play here.

As efficient as they come, the powerplant sitting under the hood certainly represents a high-water mark for engineering. This turbocharged 4-cylinder engine may displace a modest 2.5 liters, but it packs a truly impressive punch - yielding 305 horsepower and 290 ft./lb. of torque to affix you firmly to the seat when you step into it. The 6-speed manual transmission provides the optimal gearing needed to harness that power to utmost efficiency, while the Subaru's combination of all-wheel drive and 4-wheel power disc brakes make it a sure-footed performer that's capable of stopping on a dime. This high-powered compact sits on a set of 18" special edition STi rims out fitted with Cooper radials.

With its great blend of high-revving power and tight, nimble handling contained in a visually impactful package, this 2012 Subaru WRX STi is sure to put a smile on the face of its next lucky owner. Call today!
