2005 SUBARU IMPREZA2005 SUBARU IMPREZA

A BLEND OF PERFORMANCE, AGILITY AND INNOVATION.
Beware the beaten path. It is the path of
followers, not leaders. Of tourists, not
explorers. It is the road traveled by those
more trusting of convention than invention.
And it is not the path of Subaru. Because
for over three decades we have blazed
our own trail, building the kind of cars
people depend on every day. Capable
cars. Rational cars. Intelligent cars.
We introduced America to the beauty of
All-Wheel Drive. We proved ourselves on
rally courses around the world, but our
journey never truly ends, it merely evolves.
As do we, with cars that offer more than
mere capability. Much more. They are
stylish. Powerful. Exhilarating. They
ignite passion. In this way, we constantly
push the boundaries. Continually
redefining what a Subaru can be.

DECADES OF RALLY EXPERIENCE have led to much more than superlative performance and technological innovation. The
benefits of this invaluable experience can also be felt in our vehicles’ interiors, which are designed to be stylish and
comfortable, yet uncompromisingly driver-focused. For example, within the WRX you’ll find aggressively bolstered,
performance-design front seats. A sporty new three-spoke, leather-wrapped MOMO brand steering wheel. A racing-inspired
instrument cluster featuring a centered tachometer. Plus a list of amenities that includes a 6-speaker premium stereo
with a 6-disc in-dash CD player, all of which help to make every aspect of the driving experience as pleasurable as possible.

IMPREZA WRX STi. IT’S BEEN CALLED UNCOMPROMISING,
UNRELENTING AND DEFIANTLY UNAPOLOGETIC. BUT IN TRUTH,
THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THE AWESOME POWER
OF THE ULTRA HIGH-PERFORMANCE, ALL-WHEEL DRIVE, 300-HP
IMPREZA WRX STi. RALLY-BRED AND TECHNOLOGICALLY
ADVANCED, IT MUST BE EXPERIENCED TO BE UNDERSTOOD.

PURE IN ITS INTENTIONS, the interior of the Impreza WRX STi was designed for one purpose: To provide drivers with the
most performance-focused environment possible. So Subaru engineers gave it a short-throw, six-speed manual shifter for
quick, responsive shifts. Body-hugging STi-design front seats with grippy, perforated Blue Ecsaine upholstery that helps
keep both driver and front passenger firmly planted. An ergonomic and well-organized instrument panel featuring large,
competition-inspired analog gauges. And as a nod to the occasional need for life’s little luxuries, a new automatic climate
control system that allows you to set a temperature and then get back to more important matters—like the business of driving.
The metallic-trimmed cockpit of the WRX STi features
a thick new three-spoke, leather-wrapped, STi-design
steering wheel, and a new standard premium audio system
with a 6-disc in-dash CD player.
Unique to the WRX STi, a Driver Controlled Center
Differential (DCCD) allows the driver to manually control
the front/rear torque split and adjust according to specific
performance requirements and driving conditions.
