Where the Impreza WRX AWD, Turbo Intercooled, 5MT fits

From October 1998 the kei rules allowed a longer and wider body, 3.40 metres by 1.48 metres, with the engine still capped at 660cc. Every manufacturer redesigned its range around the new figures, and vehicles from this period are the first to combine kei running costs with a cab an adult can sit in comfortably.

Six figures on the clock at 111,846 miles, about 180,000 km. The Sambar's four-cylinder 658cc engine was never a high-output design; it was built to run at a steady commercial pace, and plenty have.

What it is for

Japanese-market saloons and coupes of this period were built to a domestic specification that never crossed to North America: different engines, different trim, different equipment, and in many cases a model that was simply never offered elsewhere. That is the reason to import one rather than buy a local equivalent — there is no local equivalent.

This band covers the JDM cars people import on purpose rather than by accident: turbocharged, rear-driven or four-wheel-drive specifications that were sold in Japan only, now past the 25-year threshold.
