Impreza WRX STi Sports Wagon Version V (1998)

A station wagon in the Premier League of supercars? 0-60 in under 5 seconds? Yes, for sure. Hard body and practicality. Only the WRX STi can do it.

This rally inspired station wagon with turbocharged engine and all wheel drive was only released in the land of the rising sun, where the automotive culture is unique and enthusiasts demand a higher level of performance — as well as a wider variety of fascinating alternatives. It’s just one of the countless remarkable used vehicles available in Japan that you can purchase at surprisingly reasonable prices and import to your nearest port with a little help from Japan Car Direct.

Like a granny car with a V8 under the hood that leaves unsuspecting hot rodders behind, the Impreza WRX STi Sports Wagon Version V is far more impressive than it looks. Only the golden wheels and rear styling hint that this is not your friendly neighborhood family station wagon. Its turbocharged boxer engine, manual transmission and stiff suspension were specially tuned by the hardcore STi (Subaru Tecnica International) team in Japan to deliver handling and acceleration rivaling top-end sports cars. Subaru’s renowned boxer engine not only keeps the vehicle’s center of gravity super low for incredible stability, but also produces a distinctive rumble that accelerates the heartbeat of any car lover.

Extremely fun to drive, the race-ready Impreza WRX STi Sports Wagon Version V is also practical for everyday shopping and commuting thanks to reliable Subaru engineering, plenty of space for groceries and a surprisingly comfortable ride.
