About the Subaru Impreza WRX STi (Hawkeye)

The Hawkeye WRX STI is the last and most polished version of Subaru's GD-generation rally saloon. It keeps the aggressive all-wheel-drive character but adds a more mature front end, stronger brakes and, in many markets, the larger EJ257 engine. It is quick, usable and highly tunable, which also means many examples have lived hard lives.

The AWD platform attracts a steady enthusiast following, and parts remain widely available (84/10). Market-wise values have climbed a steep +15.0% over the last 12 months while a rarity score of 34/100 means there is usually plenty of choice on the market โ€” accessible next to Grade A and S cars, with condition and mileage doing most of the pricing work.

Price estimates are based on market research and recent sales data. Values fluctuate based on condition, mileage, and market demand. Not financial advice.
