- For this video, we hop in Antoni's 2015 Subaru WRX STI and go for a stroll around town in Tampa. The 2015 STI isn't a bad car by any means, but is it lacking something and is just "being new?" enough? Thanks for watching another Subie review and stay awesome! Social stuff and tshirts below!

What it's missing is its true rival.
acalinga I feel the same way. Knowing Mitsubishi discontinued the Evo, it seems like Subaru could relax a little bit on the rally stuff and make a sports car that's more refined and subtle.
***** well not so much... matter of fact they are going to have to step up their game with the ford focus RS around the corner !
***** WHAT? They discontinued the Evo? Google time!
yup they did.. last one made is the 2015 which is the same one
***** But it's just not the same man... and it won't. *breaks into tears*
That wing though.
David plz
ThatDudeinBlue , hey david i think i saw this car at your st.pete meet, didn't that danish kid own it?
Newsflash it's not missing anything
ThatDudeinBlue David ur almost there... Now just find a 02-03 bugeye, preferably a wagon. That would be sick!
I noticed Sonic the Hedgehog was having a good time back there. :)
Dont get me wrong, I love the Evo's and STI's, every single one of their models. But the thing that gets me, pisses me off and kinda makes me sad is that Back in say 2004, the STI's and EVO's were almost like king of the streets. Stock for stock or lightly modded vs lightly modded they were faster than almost any other car in its price range, particularly "muscle cars". Its now been 12 years since then and so many performance cars that the STIs and EVOs used to shit on, now doubled or tripled in power, and the STIs and EVOs had made just little improvements. Still great cars, but now they get shit on. Like what the hell, why did you make the big improvements to your cars that other manufacturers have? IDK just my thoughts :(
niccccccce!
Because they are mase so That they Can be used in wrc and manufacturer rally. Need som specs That dont unite with more power. 280 hp is because of japaneese tax rules. 2.0l is wrc rally specs with 34 mm restrictor. Etc. There is a reason for everything. In Japan wrx 3.6 is not unheard of though.
Poor Man Mods 4 pistons can only do so much
+Poor Man Mods they were made to drive the shit out of in all round weather in any condition. Adding too much horsepower would be too much for the daily driver. They are horrible on gas.
I shat on a STI in my Camaro the other day. He even did the ricer fly by 😂😂
all its missing is some gold rims
Live stream tonight! I'm pumped!
Tj Hunt *wheels
Tj Hunt GOLD BBS!!
Tj Hunt The Launch Edition got the gold wheels
Foreal
Subaru is the example of, "if its not broke don't fix it." With the STi
Then they should of stayed with the hawk eye body for like ever its such a beautiful design. That and it actually looks like a race car/rally car not a fast soccer mom sedan
W4rBoY97 I think you mean "If it still works, don't improve it". The WRX has a better engine than the new STi, it blows my mind.
Subaru messed up by putting the same EJ257 engine in the 2015 STI. It's been the exact same for 11 years besides the improvements in variable valve timing in 2008. If I was on the market for a new STI I'd wait till the next phase.
Yep!! Although..:. I agree with David. They could have done so much more with the engine!
If that were the case they would have tweaked the ringlands since 06
Beautiful intro man! I'm surprised you were so unimpressed with the car though! Having reviewed all the STIs too, the new one felt so much sharper and more composed to me. Maybe Florida didn't have any super windy roads to let the car shine. Or maybe I'm just biased haha. Regardless, keep up the great work David!
Hmmmm
"SubaruWRXFan"..... Biased towards a Subaru??? No way!!
i know Im asking randomly but does anyone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid forgot my account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Erick Luca Instablaster :)
@Cody Jasper thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm trying it out now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Cody Jasper it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you really help me out :D
It's missing it's "Subaruness" it's to civil.
It's kinda like a Civic Si... Quick but kinda boring.
Mason Forrest When was the Civic Si ever quick?
Unless it has an aftermarket tune.
Joel Panttila even then though a lot of cars are probably faster
Mason Forrest i do not approve this message.
Mason Forrest Have you ever driven an STI? It is very far from boring.
Am I the only one that likes the new look of the STI? I think it looks nicer than the previous generations
nope. love it, it has that classic sti look to it tht was missing b4
at first I didn't because I was being one of the haters but I started to really look at it and they must definitely grew on me
The original wrx sti the best looking ,and far rarer
It looks so ass lmao. 06 Hawkeye is by far the best looking imo
god ive probably watched this 15 times. really helped me decide, i didnt have many choices, needed awd and lots of space (cuz 6'4) this is perfect just got mine and love it!
It's crazy watching these videos you recorded in Tampa and seeing where I go on a daily basis! Keep up the great work dude!
Hey david, great review! I am absolutely in love with every song you start your videos with. You should make a playlist
All the jumpcuts! Nice review David, looking forward to the next as always. Keep it up :D
David!! That intro was beautiful, you truly are talented.
Great vid man! You're coming up on 250k subs! I've been here since about 5 or 10k I think so it's really cool to see the channels fast progression.
Watching this video 5 years later lmao i got a 2019 sti limited trim, brand new and yes it has sunroof, android auto, banging sound system, car sounds dope, fun to drive and handling is so good but man it just isn’t that fast.... for 2016+ standards its just not that fast for the money.
But lmao i would never get a wrx again had 2017 one and i felt like i was missing something
Subaruuuuuu Impossibruuuuuu!
Great review.
Yes
Yooooo I'm so happy you reviewed this wonderful car 😱
I just bought one, love it. A tune, muffler deletes, and shifter bushings have done wonders for driving feel. Its a perfect daily for me.
That amazing intro... Wow David, your camerawork is amazing.
Good ol' Dale Mabry. Wished I knew your channel months ago, but at least I caught you before ya hit 300k. Good stuff man, hope you come back some time in the near future.
is that matt farrah's million mile lexus?? oops wrong channel
FootyFILMS this is not matt farrah's million mile lexus
FootyFILMS NO CAAAAAAAAAR
HomelessSquirrel lol
The more I see this car the better it looks.
Great vid David! I really enjoyed it as always!
Liked the intro song more than your usual edm club jam stuff. Keep it real david
I finally got my first Subaru...2015 STi, love it....coming from driving big lifted off road trucks, I love this car. I love its appearance and engine. I'll of coarse look at aftermarket tuners, turbo, etc...when the warranty is up. But, I am very satisfied...
It no longer called "Impreza" its just WRX STi
Love the vids, I think it would be sick if you could review an 03-05 neon srt, very curious to see what you think. Keep up the good work man!
I like the sanic chilling in the back lol good review.
Great review haven't seen a 2015 sti before cool little car
Yea more power. Especially now with the chassis updates it can certainly handle more without sacrificing anything.
Motors these piles of shit can barely handle stock power.
I like the way he bangs on about performance aspects, like how late you can brake etc, but never even leaves town.
Love your channel!
Oh sweet, that's one of my fav songs I listen to almost daily going to school(Direct-Tranquility if your wondering)
Loved the review! I hope to see u around with some of the DMV_Mustang guys!
Great video as always but I can't wait till someone lets you drive a built sti I wanna see how it would feel for you
Great vid !
hey David love the videos just wondering if you could incorporate some fly bys into the videos.
This is my dream car finally a review
I love the 2015 model however I would take the WRX over the STI since it has the new FA20 engine. better gas mileage, makes great power and more reliable than the EJ engine.
Yeah but it sounds like 💩 lmao
The Japanese license plate is a nice touch. Truly needs gold rims though.
Beautiful editing skills! You should do a video of the gear you use =)
This review was so calm
What's it missing? A good engine. This engine is SO dated now, i can't begin to understand why they're still using it. The WRX has the turbo FA series 2L, and it is a SUPERB engine. Put similar parts on the WRX and STi, and the WRX will end up making more power. Doesn't it completely defeat the purpose of a new flagship sports car if you don't put your best engine into it? What were they thinking...
In japan they have it but here the fuel isnt high enough octane to create higher power levels.
Legacy parts. If you want a fast straight line bolt on a few for damn cheap by this point. The cornering is where this one shines.
Skylar Garrett I, for one, like the lego ability of the EJ engines. I can pick and pluck the best parts from motors of the last 12+ years! Sodium filled valves? Yes please!
Josh Lum Japanese STi still has an EJ207 motor. Don't let the 2.0L fool you, Japanese sti has never had the EJ257 2.5liter the states has.
Josh Lum I'm a bit worried about a switch over to the 2 liter wrx engine. I like the idea of legacy parts, think the current engine is more than enough for the average driver and the only real benefit I see is fuel economy. Am I mistaken?
ThatDudeinBlue What are you using to get those perfect pans from side to side in the car? I need that for my videos lol
What i love about subaru's apart from the AWD is the boxer engines i had a old 1994 liberty with 350 000kms for a first car it was a beater and it kept on going like a boss. I have to respect Subaru as a company they make really good cars and they almost always give you a turbo charged version for all their models.
my fav review to date
Can you do infiniti g37/q60 coupe review?
Evo X > STi
Yeezy Yeezy STI >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Evo X
Yeezy Yeezy Wish Nissan acquired Mitsubishi so they could continue making new Evo's. The lack of competition from Mitsubishi made Subraru ease off on the new STI imo.
***** dAbaPEsTA123 Yeah, Mitsu sucks for doing this, it's the end of an era.
***** um, I'm pretty sure you would have gotten the '15 WRX lol
Yeezy Yeezy both are awesome
Adding a Cobb Accessport V3 and Cobb exhaust turned my 2015 STi into a completely different animal. Now I can truly appreciate the boxer rumble. Next on my list is the Cobb SF intake.
Hey I remember you! Why no vvvvvlogs?
Then in no time enjoy a new motor.
Love ur job
good job on the review. have you seen anyone with modded fiats like the 500L maybe?
After watching the video, to answer the question in the title... yeah, it's missing something. To me, it's the STi character. It's like Subaru gave the STi it's performance bits here and there... but with a tie. Honestly, the first time I saw the new STi was on my way to school. And I swear to God... I thought it was a Hyundai Elantra with a big ol' wing on it. The front fascia looks nice and aggressive, but it really loses it's character heading towards the back (minus the big wing)
2:45 That's my old high school in the background. Almost every shot in this video I knew where you were...that's how close you were to my house.
My best friend has the 15 WRX with the CVT and it is actually really good hopefully David can find one to review one day!
omg looks amazing!!
I got to ride in my friends sti and we were on a windy road.... It was awesome
Great review!
dat serious face david got when shifting like a bawss
Just took mine to the dragon and she did bloody amazing. Corners is where this car comes into its own for me and why I bought it
This being my first Subaru, I am fortunate enough to have the STI and all I can say is that I am so glad that I grew into this car, learned the shifting techniques, and am further improving on my driving. I just love the fact that on a cold morning or a cold night, I hit 100 as if it were nothing, my car wants me to push her further and further, letting me know that I can go so much faster. Its a great car for my first turbo awd vehicle. Test drove the EVO X and the 2014 STI but I fell in love with what seems to be the hybridization of the two beasts. No Regrets :) Love your vids, love the reviews, your fucking awesome man.
do u regret getting STI over WRX. Also what color did U get? I'm deciding between black/blue/silver
+blazernhan to put it short and crisp, I've never been happier. Honestly, it's more than a car when it leaves you smiling after EVERY DRIVE. Test drove An Evo X, a 2015 WRX. Went home with a galaxy blue pearl 2015 STI PREMIUM With bbs wheels. Living the dream
+NagualShaman66 Nice. what do u think about black? will it be a pain to keep looking good? it rains in my area a lot in Washington but black is real nice
+NagualShaman66 Also, I understand that this car fuel economy is lower than the Wrx... is this worth the compromise? I will be daily driving this car mostly. lol
+blazernhan black is beautiful, love black, only issue and gripe I have with that color, is maintenance it takes a lot of love to keep black clean, and galaxy blue as well, so with that being said perhaps the gray which looks mean, or white, but honestly buy the color you love. End of the day it'll be yours. And as far as mpg, if I baby it, like keep my rpms under 3k than I'm good and I get around 26 to 24 on high way, now if you hit boost, than you're looking at lower mpg down to14 to 16 so it all depends on driving habits. To be honest, this is my daily, and she drives like a race car: stiff ride, can be twitchy, and aggressive, but so damn worth every part of it. Test drive both Ive heard the WRX is very comfy compared to the jackal the STI is, but I'm a "no compromise" kind of guy so it's all on your wants and needs. Test drive both and let your heart decide to put it simple, so I regret the STI? HELL NO. Best decision of my life. Drive my dream car everyday. Makes me happy.
You know what's going to be a subaru killer is the new FOCUS RS can't wait love your vids thanx
opening song soo chill
I recognize everything you drive by omg.I live in tampa in that area ;)
I was going back and forth between a regular wrx and a ralliart, ended up getting a ralliart but I can't understand the hate for these new 15 body styles. I think they look awesome. Way better than the previous years
Yo awesome review one thing tho I heard the wrx and wrx sti are not considered imprezas anymore to Subaru it's just wrx now
my engine mount bolt was in my splash gaurd on my 2015 STI !
and my ring blew under 5000kms
Nima someh matth farah's press car has a 4th gear grind too with 5k miles
i like ur eye brows and the way ur arm looks when u shift
I love this engine.
So funny, I'm from Tampa and I totally have recognized multiple places hahaha.
A blue sti with sonic the hedgehog plush doll hanging in the back with " thatdudeinblue" reviewing it, is like a triple blue combo.
My 92 Liberty (Legacy) gx awd has a very good turning circle.
Agree with you that it is missing something. I have a 15 STi and like it, but I haven't done anything to it yet. Like you said in the video, it needs an exhaust to help the sound. I think intake, downpipe, and Corsa exhaust would really give it a great tone and feel.
I need a car so bad haha, all these awesome rides and im stuck here like... 'If only i could drive that thing'
I feel the same way david. My favourite part of this car is the suspension. Sooo much bettee
anybody notice sonic the hedgehog hanging out behind him lol :) ?
Just added a Nameless Exhaust and the car just came to life!! I don't know how I lived with it with stock exhaust, it was way too quite.
"I went around a little bit of a bend" we call that the panhandle in Florida 😂
hey David I have a 16 wrx...If u want to review it I am in Massachusetts haha, love ur vids also
Need to come drive my 2014 Forester XT to compare. It has STI suspension. : )
I seen one like this in person. It is nice car, but i like the older ones much more. Proof that new isnt always better.
Great video
Hahaha holy crap 7:20 I drove down that road earlier today! He's on Dale Mabry there, I think!
I love that color on the STI
Its missing its mate, the Evo. Which is sadly going out of production after this year. :'(
Good job david, but i always feel like your voice is so high pitched lol goddam
I miss the sound though but at least they focused on the suspension and chassis.
Do you know if you're able to get those integrated side view mirrors/blinkers on the wrx (not sti) as an option?
Still waiting until you upload a video on the one that started it all the classic Subaru Impreza. Could be fun if you compared the old with the new.
that was nice. Bashing someone's beloved subaru
They should have at least bumped power up a little bit. Not a ton but It definitely needs it.
I actually hated the seating position and seats in the 15' STI compared to the older GD bodies.
That Ringland though.
I love Subarus im planning on getting on but what did you think about the tac. And speedo i dont like how there together i liked it when the tac. Was in the middle what do you think?
I don't know I'm seeing a lot of smiles out of this guy...
Is there ever going to be any 60fps reviews?
Would you be able to get your hands on a Prelude?
PLEASE PLEASE DO A GC8! or AKA as a 98-01 2.5rs! maybe even a swapped one!!!
That intro song tho!!
I'm still waiting for the 2020 STI to come out with the new FA motor in it. If not, then I'll be doing a GC8 build then
What music channels do you follow? The intro song was just released today.
