Almost used in the Fast and the Furious, the WRX STi is the top-of the line Impreza model, featuring rally car performance and extravagant "look at me" style to play up the thrilling driving experience. All this with Subaru's all-wheel drive reliability and high safety record.
The sedan-only 2007 Impreza WRX STi has one major change this year, the addition of the WRX STi Limited, which carries a more luxurious interior and creature comforts than the lighter weight regular STi. Both trims feature the turbocharged 2.5-liter DOHC 4-cylinder, hitting 293-hp, wiht a 6-speed manual. Brembo brakes, a limited slip differential, sports-tuned suspension, and Driver Control Center Differential (which allows you to auto or manually distribute torque) are performance-enhancers. On the outside, the regular STi shows off a huge dual-plane rear spoiler, roof vane spoiler, giant head scoop, and either gold or silver wheels. For 2007, the Impreza WRX STi Limited tones it down with a smaller rear wing, no vane, and an integrated chin spoiler.
The Limited also features leather seats, to the regular STi's Alcantara cloth ones. For the first time in any STi, the Limited also pampers you with heated seats and a power sunroof. Other standard features include satellite radio, an iPod jack, and auto-dimming rearview mirror. While these help add a layer of elegance to the 2006 WRX STi, what really makes this sedan stand out is its road-burning performance and tight handling.

September 8, 2008Single handed, the best car I have ever driven. Amazing performance. Tons of torque and horsepower. Amazing handling, but the tires go bald really fast.
June 25, 2008My 2007 WRX STI is amazing, I love it to death. Killer preformance right out of the box with an 2.5L Turbocharged flat 4, pumping out 300hp stock in a short throw 6 speed manual gearbox. This cars only real downfall is gas (18MPG) with the prices they are at right now. The fun this car provides when daily driving is awesome, not to mention the looks it gets from even non car enthusiasts. Interior and exterior styling is great, with comfortable racing seats, leather stitched steering wheel and flashy blue suede finish. Any car enthusiast should drive one of these machines if they get a chance. I LOVE MY SUBARU!!!
July 31, 2008fantastic handling, acceleration, top end power, and reliability.
May 31, 2008Best drivers car there is don’t listen to the people about the engine problems if you take care of the car the car will take care of you
November 24, 2023I was really impressed with this car from day one. I get many compliments and it is nice to park and drive. The car is really fast and drives like it is on rails. The most surprising thing about this car was the fuel efficiency. It is a great combination of everything you want in a car, although it is smaller then I was used to. All in all this car is awesome.
August 12, 2012ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Subaru said it best: Love, it's what makes a Subaru a Subaru. I will eventually buy another car, but I will ALWAYS own a Subie....probably the one I own right now. Performance for that price, you just can't beat it and there is only a small handful of cars I would even put in the same category.
April 27, 2010Good straight line perfornace, excellent cornering. Easy to drive hard can trhow into a corner badly and still exit nicely. A few creaks and rattles developing inside now and that is driving me nuts. Overall however, a good package for the price if you are to compare with what else is available.
