Model overview:
Subaru Impreza WRX (2006)
Marketed within the second generation of the Impreza, the 2006 version (often referred to by the code name “Hawkeye” due to redesigned headlights and a three-section grille) marks a major technical evolution for the WRX line. It is indeed the year when the flat-four turbo engine displacement increases from 2.0 to 2.5 liters (EJ255). This engine delivers 230 horsepower, while offering a significant increase in low-end torque thanks to the variable valve timing system (VVT).
Fidelity to the brand’s rally heritage in the World Rally Championship (WRC), the model features permanent all-wheel drive.
The model enjoys strong interest from collectors of Japanese sports cars from the “Youngtimer” era due to its characteristic mechanical architecture (boxer engine in the front overhang and a low center of gravity) and its dynamic balance.

Disclaimer
Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
