The WRX is the base turbo in Japan and has a better specification to the similar turbo available here in the UK. The exterior bodywork followed the same development in both markets but the Japanese version saw colour coded mirrors and door handles as standard. Power outputs diverged quickly on the 4 door models, with the final models on the classic MY2000 Impreza having a full 280PS, compared to 215PS on the UK car. Another feature that all of the Japanese models have over the Imprezas built for export is the wiper on the rear windscreen. Inside full automatic climate control is found along with a combined CD and radio on later models.
Note the colour coded mirrors and rear wash/wiper. Andy has gold wheels but these are not standard, he swapped his silver wheels with another member. Andy also removed the WRX logo badge and here's why!
280PS@6500rpm, 240ft torque@4,000rpm, redline 7500rpm
Gearing 1=3.166 2=1.882 3=1.296 4=0.972 5=0.738 Final Drive = 4.444.
