sti s209

The Subaru WRX STI S209 is a fire-breathing beast limited to the US market, so spotting one in Australia is like finding a unicorn in a kangaroo mob. It packs a 2.5-litre turbocharged flat-four engine churning out around 341 kW (457 hp), paired with a six-speed manual transmission and upgraded suspension bits that scream ‘track day.’ New, these babies sticker for about USD 45,000 to 50,000, which roughly converts to AUD 70,000 to 80,000, but good luck finding one new down under. Used prices vary wildly and are often inflated due to rarity. If you're desperate, keep an eye on CarShowroom and Tradingpost, but prepare for a wallet-draining experience. Always consult official Subaru specs for the nitty-gritty before throwing your money down.
