    I'm 70 yr old and my very favourite of the vehicles I have owned in my life was the 2002 WRX bug eye wagon, which was the 1st yr they came to NA. Not only was it the most fun, it surprisingly proved to be the most reliable. Would never buy one now since they dropped the wagons/hatchbacks, a sedan just doesn't suit my lifestyle.

      I agree. I bought a regular 2017 Impreza sport wagon/hatchback. I would of bought a wrx if you could get them in a wagon/hatchback. They really need to bring it back!

      YES! Same with the 2015. I absolutely love the body style of my sport wagon....I can't stand that "sport" just means aero kit and the word "sport" embossed three times around the car. If they made a new wide body sti hatch it would look so sick.

    Subaru released the WRX and Wagon here in the Philippines a few months ago. Although the wagon is only available in a CVT and it is priced at a premium due to high taxes. Also the SUV craze would make it a rare sight on the roads.

    Great review as always! - I somehow feel the WRX lost part of it's magic when Subaru droped it's WRC-campiagn. Would be sweet to see them back again with this, right? Then they would not have any argument against bringing the STi back. I totally agree on the hatch-back being a more attractive offer than a sedan, but since the rally cars were sedans, I guess they want to keep that wibe going. Also - that pointy finger will never fail to bring funny moments - 😂 Excellent stuff! Thank you for what you do and Stay Awesome!

    I don't mind the cladding - now any Toyota or Subaru that may in theory go off-road gets these. As for the exterior design 2006 WRX is the beauty queen in my eyes. Fun fact: 2006 Impreza "hawkeye" was designed by Andreas Zapatinas - Greek automobile designer who had worked for Alfa Romeo before joining Subaru - this kinda explains the front grill central part shape in 2006 facelift.

      Red Barchetta, that Canadian band. RIP Neil Peart. Something about internal combustion.

    I just picked up a 23 limited and love it. I sold a 22 ZL1 that was a blast but too expensive and too many worries taking it out. this WRX is a perfect balance or daily use and fun.

    I planned to buy a new STI when my car lease expired…… now I’m shopping around for another car. Yes I have driven both versions or the new WRX (I live in Australia). They are great, but not a STI. Subaru Australia is doing and pushing for more performance and styling. Maybe, just maybe we can get something special from Subaru. This was a great video btw.
