1998 Subaru Impreza GC8 Australian Delivered - Blue - 245,842km - Turbocharged 2.0L Horizontal 4, Manual AWD
Overview
The 1998 Impreza G10 GT represents a pivotal moment in Subaru's performance lineage. This generation established the template for the modern rally-bred sedan: turbocharged horizontally-opposed four-cylinder engine, symmetrical all-wheel drive, and a manual gearbox that rewards driver engagement. The GT badge denotes the turbocharged variant, distinguishing it from naturally-aspirated models and positioning it as the performance-focused choice of the second-generation Impreza family. Twenty-six years on, this four-door sedan remains a compelling proposition for enthusiasts seeking affordable, genuine turbocharged AWD motoring with proven mechanical architecture.
This example presents in striking blue with a well-maintained appearance throughout. The bodywork shows honest patina consistent with its age and mileage, with the paint holding reasonable gloss across all panels. The four-door sedan configuration provides practical five-seat accommodation, whilst the turbocharged 2.0-litre horizontal four-cylinder engine delivers the responsive character that defined this generation. The manual transmission and all-wheel drive system represent the mechanical foundation that made these cars respected on road and track alike. At 245,842 kilometres, this is a genuine, lived-in example rather than a showroom piece, which is precisely what buyers of this era expect and value.
In today's market, 1998 Impreza GT sedans occupy a sweet spot between affordable entry-level classics and genuinely capable performance cars. Recent comparable sales of similar-generation turbocharged , mileage, and service history. This example's manual transmission and AWD drivetrain are increasingly sought-after as modern automatics dominate new car sales, making mechanical manuals a genuine point of differentiation. For buyers seeking a turbocharged four-wheel-drive daily driver with character, proven reliability, and room for five occupants, this represents solid value.
