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

The Subaru Impreza WRX STi GD—covering the Blobeye and Hawkeye generations—is trading at a median of £34,100 in the UK market, up 16.4 percent over the past twelve months on a thin sample of three transactions. This sharp appreciation has outpaced broader market trends, signaling renewed collector interest in the model after a period of relative neglect.

The broader dataset of eleven tracked sales reflects constrained liquidity typical of niche Japanese sports cars in the UK. With zero active listings currently, supply appears tight relative to what little demand exists, which may explain both the recent price momentum and the difficulty establishing a reliable trend line.

Transacted examples average 27,536 miles, suggesting buyers are gravitating toward higher-mileage but well-maintained examples rather than garage-kept specimens. This mileage profile is consistent with cars that have seen genuine ownership and use rather than speculative hoarding.

The model carries a collectibility score of 5 and is classified as a stable modern classic, reflecting its growing recognition among enthusiasts as a period-correct icon of early-2000s tuning culture. Desirability remains classified as low, however, indicating the model has not yet achieved mainstream collector status despite its rising valuations.

Base projections hold flat at £34,100 through both the three-year and five-year horizons, implying that recent gains are viewed as a correction to fair value rather than the start of sustained appreciation. The current signal is HOLD, acknowledging that while the recent trajectory is positive, further upside cannot be reliably predicted with the present data depth.
