SUBARU’S highly acclaimed Impreza WRX and STI Type UK are now being offered with complimentary optional upgrades worth more than £3,200 at participating dealers.

The free items include the Prodrive Performance Pack, which further improves acceleration, and stylish new 18in alloy wheels and tyres.

The performance packs, developed in conjunction with Banbury-based tuning experts Prodrive, adds a reconfigured ECU and high-flow sports exhaust to the Impreza’s already impressive performance arsenal. The 18in alloy wheels, meanwhile, give the car a more aggressive, purposeful stance and improve handling and grip.

As if the prospect of this extra equipment wasn’t tantalising enough, the Japanese firm has reduced the retail price of the All-Wheel Drive WRX by £95.

Subaru UK marketing director Kenyon Neads said: “With this offer we’ve added even more value into the Impreza equation. The WRX and STI are performance-car icons with a seriously loyal following and we hope that the prospect of these free upgrades will broaden their appeal still further.”
