Subaru WRX STI 2,0L 2006

2006 Subaru STi

Overview:

Truly unbelievable machine. It really makes any novice think they are a world class driver. Cornering and handling are superb and requires someone who will take the time to learn how to drive it safely.

This vehicle had engine damage in 2021 (spun bearings due to low oil). Engine was completely rebuilt using genuine Subaru parts by Subaru Specialist (Daron from MOBAY 876-860-5251). See pictures. This machine is completely stock except HKS blow off valve.

The truth is – mechanical this is an amazing machine however cosmetically it needs some love and affection. Although it could be used as one, I personally would not recommend this as a daily driver as it needs special attention eg. allowing oil pressure to build and warm before driving, constantly checking gauges, allowing oil and turbo to cool after driving, using correct oil and filters, non-aggressive maps, replacement with original parts etc. If that’s something you’re willing to do every single time you drive, then this can be used as a daily driver. In my opinion and experience , these cars perform well and last if taken care of properly.
