About Subaru Impreza WRX:
The Subaru Impreza WRX GDA and GGA are Japanese-market “Bug-Eye” WRXs, offered as a sedan and five-door wagon respectively. Combining turbocharged boxer power, symmetrical AWD and rally-bred engineering, they remain attractive JDM imports into Australia and a great way to get into a fun performance car on a budget.
Japanese-spec models feature the highly regarded 2.0-litre turbocharged EJ20, delivering strong performance, excellent traction and substantial tuning potential. Depending on specification, both 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic versions were available.
JDM enthusiasts often favour the Japanese-spec EJ20 for its performance, tuning potential and strong reputation when properly maintained. The 2.0-litre platform is also particularly appealing to enthusiasts familiar with Subaru’s EJ-series head-gasket reputation, although condition and maintenance are ultimately more important than engine size.
The GDA sedan delivers classic WRX proportions, while the GGA wagon adds useful cargo space without sacrificing the core performance package. WRXs are also popular among P-platers in states where the specific variant is eligible, subject to local restrictions.
With distinctive Bug-Eye styling, turbocharged AWD performance and everyday practicality, the GDA and GGA offer an appealing combination of performance, value and usability for Australian enthusiasts.
