- Long-winded name aside, is this the best Subaru Impreza ever made?
The 1997 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Type R Coupe was the first two-door Impreza that ultimately culminated with the 22b.
This particular model is one-of-228 Chase Yellow examples built - a unique colour that's found exclusively on this model year.
Being a Type R model, it has heaps of extra nuance over something like an Aussie-delivered WRXI STI V5 coupe.

I owned type R 1998 ...bought from Charlesworth Garage Plumtree in Nottingham, number 3 piston went and the bottom end was rebuilt using cosworth pistons because of the fuel rating in the UK...must say awesome car...
They all blow up eventually… haha
I ACCOMPLISHED MY DREAM!
I WAKE UP TO HER EVERY DAY!!❤🇯🇵🙃 she’s resides in the states!! Manifesting is real!!🙏🏾
my absolute dream car, I was so jealous watching you drive it!!!
Haha, I want it bad too. Such a wicked car!
The 4 door Version 2 STI type RA is the ULTIMATE IMPREZA
Nice Vid!!! I'm an original owner of a 2002 Bugeye STI with 33,000km on the clock (Blue, gold rims, big wing) its my pride & joy!!
I absolutely love the Subaru brand and will buy a V3 Type R like this one to park right beside the Bugeye!!
I love the 2000 model till this day the 2000 model still looks hot
Great vid! 👌
Such a good car... thank you!
What kind of transmission is in this?
2 door Imprezas were available in 1995, just not as a WRX and mostly in the US
They sold them as the Impreza retna in Japan, too.
lol USA didnt get these..... Japan kept most, UK some and Australia had special ones built there...
Wish I could hear the engine sound But that music in the background kills it. nonetheless still a good video,need more subaru videos👍
We’re on it

Thank you mate! 😊
i want one so bad
So do we!
It will be mine! Oh yes! It will be mine!
Everyone wants one!
To be honest, your commenting is awesome. I’ve come back to this video no lie everyday. The only difference is I have the air bag model and the royal blue gauges. You explain everything in great detail!! Thank you my guy!! You’re a true wordsmith how you describe this beautiful unicorn!!
Appreciate the kind words. The gauges are cool in blue!
@@CultandClassic looks so sexy! And apparently I’m 1/29 with the air bag model!
This is a V3 Type R rather than V4
Ooo typo - we will fix
What’s the difference? How can you tell?
@ariesanfilippo1078 Outside cues are a bit hard to tell them apart, but inside the V3 and earlier had same size tachometer and speedometer (mostly black) , while V4 to V6 had one a bit bigger than the other and they are both white.
@ariesanfilippo1078 main difference between v3 and a v4 is the v3 had a pre face-lift interior....the v3 only came with blue dials and 555 seats...the v3 and v4 both had face-lift headlights but with pre face-lift front bumper and that 3 piece front lip
also the v4 had a face-lift dashboard with white dials and normal sti embroided seats.....
I own a v3 type r with 35k miles in white
@@seansean2798thank you brother. So glad I pulled the trigger. I have v3 in white as well
The reliability of these engines is actually pretty terrible actually, there is an inherent weakness with the bottom end bearing design and they always let go. There's multiple companies in the UK which pretty much just exist to rebuild these engines.
I didn't believe the hype and my V3 Type R bottom end started knocking 2 weeks after I bought it.
The later 2.0 blocks were much stronger, then the 2.5 came along and was absolutely terrible again 😂.
Appreciate the info! The Aussie 2.5s are crap 😂
i thrashed my 190k ej205 7,200 rpm 8 years = finally spun 2 rod bearings at 8,500 rpm = ej subaru = super tough = FOOL !
Impreza without the big table top spoiler, is shit
easy said get 1 = and what about the cost = your review is lacking in real street living every day = $250,000 for a 2 door early STI - rare as hens teeth = wake up to your comment ! = so listen any subaru with a turbo - early is a great car and aftremarket parts are plenty = my $40k 2001 forester is a great example = super car killer !
Forester is a weapon, for sure.
