Ignore spurious 'red-top' type remarks and talk of STI rear lamps. The only reliable way to tell is to lift the bonnet and look at the Applied Model Number on the build plate found on the near side inner wing. If it ends 48D then the car is a WRX, no matter what other advice indicates. 47D is a Type-RA; 4ED is an STI and 4DD is an STI Type-RA. Dont expect much; virtually every 'STI' that I looked at recently on the Autotrader website was nothing of the sort. Most monkeys selling an Impreza now seem to add STI to the description out of ignorance or dishonesty.....
