**This is the STI people search for by name.**

A 2016 Subaru WRX STI is not just another AWD sedan. It is a turbocharged, manual-transmission, all-wheel-drive performance car with a real enthusiast following. People do not usually stumble into an STI by accident. They know what it is, they know why it matters, and they know why clean ones still get attention.

This STI is finished in Dark Gray Metallic with a black interior and has 75,813 miles. The color works perfectly on the car. It is aggressive without being loud, and it fits the STI personality well. This is a car that looks serious before you even talk about the drivetrain.

Power comes from Subarus 2.5L high-boost turbocharged flat-four paired with a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission and Subaru all-wheel drive. That is the heart of the STI. The manual transmission, turbo power, AWD grip, rally-inspired feel, and rawer driving character are exactly why these cars still have such a loyal following.

This is not a regular WRX. The STI badge matters. It brings a more focused performance identity, a more connected driving feel, and the kind of mechanical personality that newer, softer cars often do not have. If you want something quiet, anonymous, and appliance-like, this is not the car. If you want something that feels alive, the STI makes sense.

The CARFAX history gives this one a strong foundation. It shows no accidents or damage reported, no total loss, no structural damage reported, no airbag deployment, no odometer rollback indicated, and no title brands reported. That matters on an enthusiast car because condition and history are everything.

Ownership history is also easy to understand. CARFAX shows two previous owners, personal-use history, Illinois ownership, and low annual mileage patterns. The first owner kept it for almost nine years, and the second owner drove it lightly. That is a better story than a heavily passed-around performance car with a messy background.

Recent service helps the confidence level. CARFAX shows Buss Ford performed a pre-delivery inspection, brake check, fluid check, oil and filter change, tire condition check, and tire rotation in October 2024. Then, in November 2024, Buss Ford replaced the engine mounts, replaced the valve cover gaskets, and mounted and balanced four tires.

That is a big point on this kind of car. STI buyers care about maintenance. They care about leaks, tires, mounts, and whether the car has had obvious needs ignored. This one has documented recent work that helps the story.

For transparency, this STI has an open Subaru safety recall related to the backup lamp switch, with remedy available. Buyers should review final recall status with the dealer. CARFAX also shows only limited reported service records overall, so a smart buyer should inspect it, test drive it, and evaluate it like an enthusiast vehicle because that is exactly what it is.

Market-wise, this car is easy to understand. Manual AWD performance sedans are not everywhere anymore, and clean-title STI examples still have a specific buyer. Many have accident history, questionable modifications, rough ownership, or tired presentation. This one gives buyers the right core ingredients: STI, manual, AWD, Dark Gray Metallic, no accidents reported to CARFAX, clean title history, and recent Buss Ford work.

Call or text Buss Ford and ask for a quick walkaround and driving video before you come in. On an STI, buyers want to hear the car, see the interior, check the wheels and tires, confirm the clutch feel, and look closely at the overall condition.
