to be viewing this 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX STI on a website other
than our Garage Kept Motors site, it's possible that you've only
seen some of our many photographs of the car due to third-party
website limitations. To be sure you access all the more than 165
photographs, as well as a short start-up and walk-around video, and
a link to its accident and damage-free Carfax history, please go to

know that some enthusiast publications have recorded 0-60mph times
of 4.5 seconds or better for the WRX STi. �€" Forbes, March 2004
So, what's it like to pilot the Impreza WRX? Forbes went on: Shinny
behind the wheel of the Subaru, fire up the motor and you'll hear a
very mild exhaust noise, but plant the gearbox in first, punch the
throttle and suddenly the car is sideways, all four wheels
spinning, while the ridiculously huge hood scoop dominating the
view out the windscreen (much like Mad Max's blower) is busily
sucking in cold air to the massive intercooler that sits astride
the motor. Your mind reels back to Mad Max staring out the window
of his mean machine, all hot glare and vengeance in his eyes. You
get a little glint in your heart, shift into second (the car only
now straightening out and eating blacktop) while the little Subaru
keeps relentlessly accelerating. Soon the little WRX STi (an
exceedingly close cousin to the WRX car that competes in World
Rally Championship racing series) and its amazing, 300hp motor are
slamming you up towards 100mph. And boy do you feel like the
baddest dude on the road. Offered here is a very well-preserved and
respectfully treated 2004 Subaru STi WRX in World Rally blue over
blue-and-black. The 2004 model was the first year the STi was
offered in the U.S. The car's odometer shows 123,690
accident-and-damage-free miles, or just over 6,500 miles per-year
on average, less than half what the industry considers normal
annual mileage. Fortunately for its next owner, the car has
received only tasteful modifications (listed nearby, with a full
list of standard equipment shown at the end of this description) so
it operates even more spiritedly than the manufacturer intended (as
described in the review above). The Subie's exterior Rally Blue
paint is in excellent condition overall, with even gloss across all
painted surfaces, including the functional hood scoop, flared
fenders, front air dam, large rear-deck spoiler, and lower-body
ground-effects trim pieces. (To best assess the quality of the
paint and trim finishes, be sure to view the close-up photographs
of the car in the accompanying gallery.) Subaru is known for
properly aligned body panels, and this car reflects the factory
tolerances. All original Subaru, STi, and WRX badging is properly
in place. Headlights, rally-style fog lights, and taillights are
all functional, and their lenses are clear and un-cracked.
Similarly, cabin glass is virtually perfect.
Japanese-domestic-market 17-inch, 5-split-spoke, rally wheels in
excellent condition are mounted with Nokian® 225/45 directional
high-performance tires. Red-painted disc-brake calipers in all four
positions can be seen through the wheels. The car's trunk is
perfectly clean and undamaged. Inside, a black theme is interrupted
with the perforated blue-fabric center cloth inserts on all seating
surfaces (including the very well-bolstered front buckets). Cabin
floors are covered with matching blue-and-black carpeting which has
been well-protected with ca
