Man look at you grow. I remember the low 1000 days. You are to this day, my favorite reviewer. From the knowledge and expertise. Only up from here man.
Get it ceramic coated and a clear bra to protect the paint. I got mine done and it's a whole lot easier to clean and harder to scratch. I just hit 3400 miles on my STI and I will be keeping mine stock too because of my 100k mile warranty.
@@deathflashx089 yes but if you want to keep the clear bra's self healing abilities you can only put about two coats of ceramic on it. The rest of the car, if you didn't get the whole thing wrapped can have more that. Mine has 5 coats of ceramic.
"The driver don't pick the car, the car picks the driver. It's a mystical bond between man and machine" - Bernie Mac (Transformers). Great back story, I think you were destined to own this car. I'm so happy for you, congrats Joe!
Really happy for you Joe, you've put out a great variety of car content. Love that you went with what you want instead of trying to please others, enjoy it!
Very happy for you Joe! Don't fret on what people think is a nice car or what's not a nice car. It's a dream come true, and we learn something with every review or vlog. Congratulations!
Man I knew you would buy an STI! All your videos ad your love for the car has been the final tipping point to get a STI when I can finally afford it! Thanks for your videos!
I’m glad you made this video because I wanted to hear how you went from a 2015 WRX STi, to a Civic Type R, to a Focus RS, and after all that, back to a WRX STi Type RA. Never knew my old gym teacher was this cool. I really respect that you don’t risk your financial needs and budget over things as trivial as cars. I love cars, and am an enthusiast through and through, but I’m not crazy enough to go into debt for an unaffordable pseudo status symbol.
This is why I love Raiti's Rides super down to earth channel. When he says "should I consider getting a said car" he is actually thinking about and not just using it for click bait. I would always come back to this channel. Keep up the awesome content!!
So I'm watching this video a few years later in February 2020. And now through your hard work you still have this car and soon you'll have a GT 350R. Financial responsibility and not overextending yourself has paid off. Well done on another life's lesson ----- work hard, be patient and wait until you can really afford a purchase. Don't make life tough by living beyond your means. Eventually your dream will come true when you can comfortably afford it. Bravo!
Congratulations Joe I'm so extremely happy for. I think it was the best decision u made with this 2018 Subaru WRX STI Type RA. I knew u could do it I've always had faith in u to do anything u wanted to do. Thanks Joe.
Congrats, Joe! Just picked up a 2019 STI myself last week, so I know the feeling you're going through! Looking forward to seeing more with the car, and your experiences with it going forward!
I had a similar experience with my 2016 WRX. A certified preowned came along at just the right time and I've been extremely pleased with it! A dream car to replace my previous dream car (a 2004 WRX wagon in WRB). I found a buyer for the '04 within the Subaru community and am very happy to know the car is in good hands and going strong! CONGRATS, Joe on the universe bringing you together with the car you'd longed for!!!
Sick ride! Just got myself a 2019 BRZ limited with that performance package with... the WR Blue as well. You just cant go wrong with that color. Congrats again man!
Congrats Joe! Amazing ride! I used to own a 2004 STI till 2010 and sold it to buy a truck, watching your reviews is making me itchy and want to get another one, sometimes I think I’m a bit too old to get one but man can’t help it, waiting to see what is going to happen after 2020.
I know there’s many good people in many dealerships but I just purchased my first WRX yesterday and I guess Subaru is doing great things in training because my experience at Kerbeck Subaru of South Jersey was a joy. A pleasure and the best car buying experience I ever had. I didn’t leave the dealership with 1 ounce of buyers remorse or any negative feelings. Truly thrilled to buy a great car at a good price and looking forward to personalizing it with a few nice touches over time. Congratulations to you Joe !!!! She’s beautiful and thanks for sharing your passion.
Who deserves to own that car more than you do!! U know I'm really happy for you because maybe this is most beautiful car only Subaru fans understand this!
Beautiful? This is the ugliest sti. Fake vents, ugly wing and it looks like toyota corolla. Blob, bug and hawk eyes look 10x better than this underpowered shit. And the most beautiful sti is gc8 type r.
@@headless7345 must really suck being so jealous and bagging an awesome car because you’re only mode of transportation is a push bike. You’re a fuckin tool
As an owner of MY16 STi, I totally understand your love for the Sti's. They just have a character that the others don't, not the fastest, not the best interior but that rumble and the steering feel is so special. That is a beauty you have there, congrats!
Raiti's Rides No official shop name because it's a private shop. It used to be called Vanquish years ago when I had some people run it for me when I worked full time in Orlando. I closed it years ago but kept the space and dyno. Now it's the ultimate man cave! Lol. What's the easiest way to contact you? Sam and Jeremy from Montu have my email
This is a beautiful car raiti. Honestly now you own a piece of Subaru history and hopefully you keep it for a long time !!!!! Keep up the amazing videos coming!!!!
Happy for you Joe. Glad to see someone living out their dream and making it a possibility to get the cars you want. I think you will love the RA ownership. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
No question from me. Congratz! Subaru STI is a fun car to drive, has a certain feeling. The GT350 is also an amazing machine(even a PP GT). Both different feels, both amazing drives. You can't loose with either. Gonna be grinning ear to ear rolling down the road.
Someday you will buy that shelby for sure your channel keeps growing Joe I don't always watch every video but I always see your subscribers grow day by day. That car deserves you!
Congratulations, Joe! One of the reasons I subscribed to your channel is because of your honesty and integrity that comes through in all of your videos. It's nice watch your reviews and know that you're giving us an unbiased opinion based on knowledge & experience. Best of luck with your new vehicle.
Congrats. I just bought a 2019 Civic Type R. Last year I purchased a 2018 Golf R DSG and 2 years prior I bought a 2016 Z06. I sold my 2016 GT350 to buy my Corvette.
Congrats man, I’d have snatched it up too. I’m looking for a Subaru WRX right now and I only wish that I could come across one for myself. I’m probably gonna have to settle for a regular STI even though the regular one is still a really nice ride. Thanks for the video, I look forward to seeing videos of you driving this car.
Sad to see you and the RS part ways but I can’t blame you at all Joe. One of my all time favorite cars is the STI. I was close in 2016 but I talked myself out of it much too my chagrin. Had a Wrx and sold that and landed in the RS. If the economics were right I’d be driving an STI. Enjoy it Joe and I’ll live vicariously through you for a while. I’ll own an STI one day as long as Subaru ups there game in a significant way.
Welcome Back my Friend! Mines a 2019 Sti WR blue too, I got mines with 8k for $34k Subaru certified BEST decision I’ve ever made! Love those bbs wheels makes the car pop! Keep up the Great videos!
Been a subscriber for a few months now. Excited that you got a Type RA! I have #391/500. You will find it is much better than the 2015 STi. Enjoy it man, it's a fun car.
Just traded my Evo X for a Type R. I can see why it wasn’t for you. You can get a lot more out of AWD when it comes to straight line performance and nothing powers out of corners like a AWD car. It’s a good time to be a enthusiast. A lot of options. Like you I plan on keeping the Type R mostly stock as it’s near perfect from factory. Congrats on the ride and I look forward to future content.
Congrats brotha I love your channel. By watching your channel I just brought myself a 2019 Vw GTI Rabbit Edition thanks for the motivation and helping me and giving me that extra push to buy one .
Raiti's Rides I always keep it real 💯. I got the Urano Grey same one you reviewed I think. I was shooting for the Cornflower blue but it didn’t work out at the end but I am very happy with this Urano grey. In the sun it looks killer and in the shade it looks black I love it.
Congrats! I got my first new car from Reeves. A 2002 wrx when I was 19. I've been die hard subaru ever since. I still have it but daily a 2015 sti now. Take care of that RA!
If I took a shot for every time you said certified in the video I’d be in the hospital for alcohol overdose. Lol. Congrats on the car Joe. Welcome back to Subie life. I myself just ordered type RA fender badges for my 19cwp as I wanted oem black badges. The next video I want from you is AT LEAST a cat back exhaust installed since you want to maintain your warranty. Better get that beauty ceramic coated.
Congrats brother! I just traded my STI in for a 2016 M4! I loved the STI but moved on to something a little different. Enjoy it! (I didn’t even tell the dealer my STI was modded lol)
you're very humble and honest plus great taste, I love your subie vids in particular cause I put a down payment to hold a wrx this week and your channel helped me make the decision
I love this Raiti! I too look inside my garage and can't believe I have a Type RA. It has only 1500 miles, which means I dont really do much with it; only admire it inside the garage. Kinda wished Ive waited for the S209 but still super happy and grateful for my RA.
Congrats on the new car! Nice work on the channel and how detailed you are with the cars. Last year my Mazda 3 had 200K miles on it and I drove it for 13 years. I started researching cars and I am embarrassed to say I didn't even know what a Subaru was. I ended up falling in love with the 2019 3.6r Outback touring. I've had it for a year amazing drive all around. Very happy with it. After researching more cars this car and the S209 are now my new dream cars. Great purchase! Keep put the great work.
It's an awesome car and a VERY RARE opportunity. I would have made the same decision and I support your decision. Hopefully we can see more content with it in the future!
Congrats man, me and my dad love your channel. It was because of you we now share an sti and absolutely love it. Keep up the good work and what a beautiful car, im jealous.
Congrats 🎉! After listening to the whole story it was meant to be for you to have this car! It’s all about timing. It’s beautiful in the World Rally Blue. Frank is so excited! He absolutely loves his STI!!! He said to me Joe has to buy it. We were both rooting for it! We can’t wait to go to the 100k Subscriber Celebration!
Congrats Joe! Nice choice! Knew you would do it! RS is a great car but the RA is a bit more special and limited production. Will definitely hold more value! Enjoy it bud
Just subbed! Bought my 19 STI from Reeves too! Saw your car there a few days before you posted the review. Such a beautiful car man! I'm happy for you and keep that thing forever
Welcome back to the subi family, I've been considering going back to the subi fam myself, miss my sti hate to say it, theres a lot of negative stigma around the sti because it's not modern but that's what makes the sti incredible, it retains that raw driving experience, the EJ motor despite the negative stima around it so so well refined now, I always think about going back to sti. Congrats man.
Congrats Raiti, was waiting for this day eagerly for you to join subaru club back, a big welcome and i hope you'll enjoy the drive, and share the experience as we carry on. I wish 2019 sti had those gold rims, though it drives very well, will be close to that Type RA.
Sweet! Just found your channel and catching up on the vids and just subscribed. You're speaking my language on cars, esp the Subaru's. Just bought a 2019 STI with the short throw in the dark gray metallic. I'd been jonesing over a wrx/STI for years and with the kids out and on their own, bam. We've been purchasing from the same dealer and salesman for a number years...crosstreks, impreza's, outbacks (several) etc so yeah, I drink the Subaru koolaid I guess (but other "flavors" as well...grew up around cars). Anyway, bought it new cause I did not want it tuned or modded. And frankly, I probably won't. Love it as it is and this will keep the warranty intact, ha. People tell me what a waste I'm not tuning it as it was "meant to be tuned" but hey, it'll probably be rarer if I keep it factory ha. Anyway, the RA caught my attention so now I have some viewing to catch up on. Enjoy the ride!
Man look at you grow. I remember the low 1000 days. You are to this day, my favorite reviewer. From the knowledge and expertise. Only up from here man.
Brandon Sargent 🙏😊
Im going to be here all the way to the top haha. Just have to let y'all know im still here.
Get it ceramic coated and a clear bra to protect the paint. I got mine done and it's a whole lot easier to clean and harder to scratch. I just hit 3400 miles on my STI and I will be keeping mine stock too because of my 100k mile warranty.
Noice!
So are you supposed to clear wrap it first and then ceramic coat it?
@@deathflashx089 yes but if you want to keep the clear bra's self healing abilities you can only put about two coats of ceramic on it. The rest of the car, if you didn't get the whole thing wrapped can have more that. Mine has 5 coats of ceramic.
silver or gold warranty?
@@enacku Ceramic Pro 9h gold. It has a lifetime warranty.

Congrats Joe. I just got a 19 Si Coupe and your detailed videos helped me make that decision. Keep up the great work!

they still make 2 door civics? I've never seen a newer model...
tunedskillsz I actually haven’t seen another 19 Civic si coupe where I live. I used that to my advantage to get a great deal from the dealership .
Sick ride! Just got myself a 2019 BRZ limited with that performance package with... the WR Blue as well. You just cant go wrong with that color. Congrats again man!
Thanks Daniel! Congrats on your BRZ! You are so right with the color! Especially on your car with those wheels and the red Brembo calipers.

Welcome back to the subi family, I've been considering going back to the subi fam myself, miss my sti hate to say it, theres a lot of negative stigma around the sti because it's not modern but that's what makes the sti incredible, it retains that raw driving experience, the EJ motor despite the negative stima around it so so well refined now, I always think about going back to sti. Congrats man.
Hugh Vupy you hit the nail on the head! Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Congrats Raiti, was waiting for this day eagerly for you to join subaru club back, a big welcome and i hope you'll enjoy the drive, and share the experience as we carry on.
I wish 2019 sti had those gold rims, though it drives very well, will be close to that Type RA.
Thanks Samuel that really means a lot! You are so right they are similar. I love WR Blue with the gold BBS wheels.
Man this car looks so good. Congrats!!!
Congrats Joe! Awesome man please keep it stock. I’ve got an 08 STI hatch and its bone stock except for the exhaust Will keep it that way.
Anthony B that’s what I’m going to do for my 19’!
Stock is boring and slow
Super happy about the car homie! Congratulations!
Congrats Joe! Those gold wheels with that blue is gorgeous 😍
Thanks Joe! I appreciate that!
Congrats Joe! That’s a beautiful car...welcome back!
Congrats my friend! Hard work pays off! Time to enjoy. Can't wait to see videos on that beauty!!!!
Thanks Josh! You are so very right!
Congrats Mr. Raiti , the WRX is an iconic cool car
Sweet! Just found your channel and catching up on the vids and just subscribed. You're speaking my language on cars, esp the Subaru's. Just bought a 2019 STI with the short throw in the dark gray metallic. I'd been jonesing over a wrx/STI for years and with the kids out and on their own, bam. We've been purchasing from the same dealer and salesman for a number years...crosstreks, impreza's, outbacks (several) etc so yeah, I drink the Subaru koolaid I guess (but other "flavors" as well...grew up around cars). Anyway, bought it new cause I did not want it tuned or modded. And frankly, I probably won't. Love it as it is and this will keep the warranty intact, ha. People tell me what a waste I'm not tuning it as it was "meant to be tuned" but hey, it'll probably be rarer if I keep it factory ha. Anyway, the RA caught my attention so now I have some viewing to catch up on. Enjoy the ride!
Congrats brother. You work hard and it’s good that your treating yourself. Beautiful car!
Congrats Joe looks awesome
Congratulations! Enjoy it bud
Happy for you man! You deserve it!
Finally!!! Congrats Joe!🔥🔥🔥
I knew you could not resist 😃 Congrats, it is awesome!! Safe roads 🙂
You know me better than I know myself!
