About the Subaru Impreza STi 22B

Buying an Impreza 22B is unlike buying any other Subaru, and this entry covers the practical side of that. Because only 400 Japanese-market cars were built, each with a numbered plaque, the market is driven almost entirely by documentation. Every legitimate car has a known chassis number, and registries maintained by owners' clubs make provenance checkable in a way that few Japanese cars allow.
