his is a 2013 Subaru Impreza WRX Hatchback, finished in WR Blue Pearl with a black interior. While the car has migh mileage, a new engine was professionally installed at approximately 90,000 miles and a complete service including $18,000 worth of replacements for worn/rusting parts was performed at 120,000 miles
Factory equipment on this Impreza WRX includes a functional hood scoop, cloth upholstery, front sport seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, automatic climate control, keyless entry, and cruise control.
Modifications reported by the seller include a GrimmSpeed top-mount intercooler, a COBB Tuning catted down pipe, an aftermarket exhaust system, a Turbosmart blow-off valve, a custom dyno tune, 17-inch Raceline wheels, Feal Suspension fixed-perch struts for about a 1-inch ride height lift, TBW Performance skid plates, and more as detailed below.
The hatchback replaced the wagon body style with the third-generation Impreza WRX. Compared to the outgoing model, the 3rd-generation WRX was slightly larger, had a longer wheelbase, and added window frames. Despite the increase in size, the car's weight is similar to the previous generation, which contributes to its driving experience. For the 2011 model year, the standard WRX adopted the flared fenders of the STI along with wider wheels and tires, a wider track, new struts and anti-roll bars, and stiffer rear subframe bushings.
Power comes from a 2.5-liter turbocharged flat-4, rated at 265 horsepower and 244 lb-ft of torque in stock, unmodified form. A dyno sheet provided in the photo gallery indicates that those figures have increased to approximately 279 horsepower and 319 lb-ft of torque at the wheels, as a result of the modifications. Output is sent to all four wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission and Subaru's Symmetrical all-wheel drive system.
