For Sale: 2006 Subaru WRX in Concord, North Carolina

You already know us for vintage cars, but we love the future classics, too. That's why this 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STI is a speedy favorite in our building. It's the turbocharged, six-speed, and all-wheel drive sedan that was a fun machine from day one. So you just know it's only a matter of time before it joins the ranks of the new class of Japanese classics.

For many of us out there, this is the WRX to own. This was one of the final years of the first generation offered in America. That means a nice mix of history while still benefiting from the best of the evolution. The odometer is believed to reflect the full actual mileage, and that's rather low for its age. That level of less use combines with good care to deliver quality body lines. It's also why the black paint is believed to be original, and it's clean, complete, and has a nice gloss in the sunshine. Subaru distinguished the WRX with wide flared fenders, a full lower body kit, and the hallmark hood scoop. And the bold red STI badges look terrific against the black paint. But these are very individual cars, and so it's always great to see a tasteful custom style. This includes upgraded headlights, taillights, and dual spoilers on the rear. Plus, the gold 18-inch wheels are a nod to the world-beating Imprezas on the map.

Subaru created quite an impressive interior. The black and blue are tastefully distinct as the two-tone is intertwined on the seats, door panels, and even the carpeting. One of the reasons why the WRX is popular for more than just its power is that it also still gives you some impressive practicality. It's a loaded car with power windows, power locks, power mirrors, keyless entry, dual front airbags, an AM/FM/CD stereo, cruise control, power steering, ABS, and cold-blowing air conditioning. The trunk has room for real cargo, and the back seat can carry extra passengers, but the moment you feel how those special STI front racing seats hug your body, you know this is a true driver's car. The leather-wrapped sports steering wheel, upgraded pedals, grippy shifter, and full gauges glowing red are all there to get your enthusiast's heart pumping faster.

The heart of what makes the WRX STI amazing is 2.5-liter under the hood. This dual overhead camshaft flat-four has been turbocharged and intercooled to be one of the most robust and fun motors around. And the STI version gave you the added control of a six-speed manual transmission. And speaking of control, the other hallmark of the WRX STI is having an all-wheel-drive system that's been honed on the world's best rally circuits. You even get to dial in your level of suspension with a control in the center console. Add in a Brembo four-wheel disc brake package with drilled & slotted rotors, and you have the ultimate in power and control in one vehicle.

Complete with owner's manual packet, this Impreza WRX STI is a future classic that's already being appreciated in the modern world. So now's your time to get it at an affordable price. Call now!
