2004 Subaru Forester STI | Auction Cars Japan

A real cult classic here, the Subaru Forester Still was recently re-released but today in Yokohama here’s a look at the original. While it’s in the all white color and not the classic Subaru blue, it’s still got that pre facelift sexy look with the bonnet air intake. One of the coolest SUVs of the last 20 years.

Speaking of the air intake, that’s for the turbocharged 2.5 litre engine. The car is based on Impreza WRX STI underpinnings, and coming in 6 speed manual with full 4WD this model was a real joy to drive. This one is rate 4 with 75,000km, so really in very nice condition considering the age.

There are about 80,000 cars a week going through the Japanese dealer auctions, with everything from JDM classics like this to high-end Italian cars to well maintained, low km models fromVolvo and Volkswagen at great prices.
