2006 Subaru Impreza WRX PPP

Highlights

• Prodrive Performance Pack
• Power increased to 266 bhp
• All-wheel drive
• Plenty of accessories
• Long MOT

Overview

If you like your Imprezas, you’ll certainly like them even more when they’ve been treated to the Prodrive Performance Pack, which ups the power to 266 bhp, and the torque comes in at 310 lb ft. This is achieved by recalibrating the ECU, adding a high-flow turbo intercooler pipe, and a performance exhaust.

This Impreza WRX is finished in an under-the-radar shade of silver, but its enormous rear wing, bonnet scoop, and added transfer stickers mark it out as a car of interest to anyone passing by.

Stepping into the interior of this car, you will notice how well the car has been treated since it was built in 2006. The leather upholstery appears to be very well preserved throughout, and the current owner has gone to great lengths to add extra styling details throughout, including contrasting blue floor mats, multiple Scooby Doo soft toys, and scale model Imprezas on the dashboard.

It’s clearly been owned by a Scooby nut and, if you’re looking for an Impreza which has been treated to some tinkering by the well-regarded engineers at Prodrive, then this WRX has a lot to offer.

Summary

Despite this car’s performance upgrades, it has been driven very sparingly in recent years, which means it is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner, whether they plan on continuing its current regime of light weekend use, or pressing it into service as a daily driver. Either way, you get to enjoy the power and performance in a way only truly possible when you have an enormous wing on the bootlid.
