Subaru Impreza WRX STi Import Car Insurance

GET A QUOTE

The Subaru Impreza WRX STi was arguably the car that started the trend of importing Japanese cars directly (or “grey imports”), rather than through Subaru’s dealer network. Largely due to the dominance and success over several years of Subaru’s Impreza WRX STi in the World Rally Championship (WRC), this 4-door, all-wheel-drive saloon with a turbocharged flat-four ‘boxer’ engine became a car coveted by enthusiasts and car thieves alike. Such was its popularity that the appeal of importing these cars directly from Japan grew steadily and today there are many examples of cars available from specialist Japanese car importers and through more mainstream car dealers as well.

Unsurprisingly, with its WRC success came the desire to modify the standard Japanese imported car extensively, to increase the standard BHP and add not always flattering bodykits and other modifications.

Subaru Impreza WRX STi’s have long drawn the attention of car thieves, for use in crime or just for the joy of driving the car without the cost of tax, insurance or even buying the car. So it won’t come as a complete shock to learn that with this reputation, many insurance companies are wary of offering insurance quotes for the Subaru Impreza WRX STi.

How Expensive is insuring a Subaru Impreza WRX STi?

Insuring your imported Subaru Impreza WRX STi will not be cheap, for all the reasons stated above and also because the number of insurers who would be willing to offer competitive Japanese import car insurance quotes, or quotes of any size, is relatively low. Comparing insurance quotes online might be tricky as most insurers won’t offer insurance quotes through the usual online car insurance aggregator websites. For these reasons, an owner of an Subaru Impreza WRX STi might want to consider using the expertise of insurance brokers who specialise in insuring Japanese ‘grey import’ cars. These specialist brokers will have access to dedicated insurance schemes that are specifically aimed at imported, and potentially modified, Japanese cars such as the Subaru Impreza WRX STi.
