Subaru slashes WRX STI prices

Subaru has made significant price cuts to the WRX STI ‘Impreza’ in the UK, with the basic price for the 296bhp performance car now starting from £26,995 – £6000 less than before.

There is also a new upgrade package available, the 335bhp 340R. This will sit above the existing 320R, which was brought out last year. Subaru can install the 340R package for £1599, maintaining the car’s full warranty.

The upgrade contains a new exhaust, and ECU remap, dropping the 0-62mph time by half a second to 4.7secs – and can be fitted retrospectively to any WRX STI.

Subaru’s 320R package is a milder 316bhp tune, costing £750, achieved by remapping the ECU.
