Subaru Impreza WRX STi (GD (Blobeye/Hawkeye))

The Subaru Impreza WRX STi GD—encompassing the Blobeye and Hawkeye generations—is trading at a median of £34,100 in the UK market, up 16.4% over the past twelve months. This appreciation signals sustained interest in the model, though it comes on the back of a very thin transaction base of just three sales recorded in that period.

Across our full tracking dataset of eleven sales, these cars typically present with modest mileage averaging 27,536 miles, reflecting their appeal to enthusiasts who value preservation. The low active-listing count and minimal transaction frequency underscore a market where supply and buyer engagement remain constrained.

The GD-generation STi occupies the stable modern classic category, drawing collectibility interest from a dedicated subset of Japanese performance fans. The model's five-point collectibility score reflects its cultural significance and rally heritage rather than scarcity—production volumes remain undocumented here, but these cars were never produced in tiny numbers, which tempers long-term value momentum.

Liquidity remains thin across both auction and private channels, meaning buyers face genuine search friction and sellers may encounter extended holding periods. This illiquidity has historically constrained both downside risk and upside appreciation for the model.

The base projection holds prices flat at £34,100 through both the three and five-year horizons, despite the recent year-on-year gain. This reflects the structural constraint of low transaction flow and modest collector demand, which typically anchor modern classics of this tier in sideways trading bands once short-term momentum fades.
