Picked up my 2018 WRX Base model... I don't want/need any of the stuff that comes with the packages. Just base model WRX is well equipped and a such blast to drive !
You mentioned they improved the shifter. How different does it feel compared to the '16? And in what way? Didn't get a lot of detail here considering how big of a deal Subaru made of it in their announcement.
you said the suspension was "a little bit more of a rigid feel" but then went on to talk about how much softer it is. Also you mentioned the steering is "soft". Can you expand on these?
I also saw a bit of Lancer Evolution in the 2018 WRX (laughs). Changes are nice, but given the 2018 Impreza platform I wonder how long Subaru will take in introducing the WRX variant on the new generation car.
i bought a 2018 wrx, when you say that apple car play is on its way does that mean that i will be able to update the starlink to get apple car play in the near future?
Do you know if Apple CarPlay would possibly be a SW upgrade or would require a new head unit? I'm shocked to hear they didn't bring CarPlay this year like the Impreza!
Yeah me too haha. We should be getting the 2018 STI's sometime around mid to late July. If the changes to the overall driving feel are even half as good as they were in the WRX for 2018, it's going to be amazing!
the EVO look was my basis for buying it. since an actual EVO costs about the same but I'd have to get it used sooo I figure why not just get a new car and abuse it myself instead 👍
I’m about 3 years late... but I feel he was trying to hide his license plate in the front but when he explaining the exhaust that came with his package he showed the rear plate lol
2 things: one, kind of sucks you have to give up the moonroof for the performance package. two, why didn't you just take off your friends not plate to save the video editor some time? it annoyed my since it takes 30 second to do. lol.
Good review. However it looks like you're wearing 1849 era pants, hiked up so you wouldn't get them dirty when you got off your horse and carriage. Also did you get your shoes from Bob Hope? Bob threw them out and you hoped they would fit.
Stéphane : if you have to ask if you're too old for this car, then you probably are I'm 65 bought a 2016 WRX, and l don't give a crap what other ricers think.
Just got my 2018 WRX today!!
Just got a blue version of the 2018 today! What a car!!!
Finally, someone agrees with me, the front looks more like an Evo now!!
Now that evo's are gone, they look more like wrx's :P

Thank you for making this video. Make one for the STI please!
Will do once they arrive. Still a few weeks out I believe
Please do, there are hardly any new review videos on the new WRX STI on youtube.

No
Great video Question is the hood on the WRX and the impreza the same size.
Great video! How tall are you? And how much do you weigh?

2-3 years based on a recent article. Can't wait.

Fabio Amato guaranteed new head unit

How did that go?
I’m about 3 years late... but I feel he was trying to hide his license plate in the front but when he explaining the exhaust that came with his package he showed the rear plate lol
its viewable to the public when driving so it doesn't mean anything.
Could you swap the front bumper on a 2017 wrx to the new 2018?
Yes
Painted calipers as part of a "Performance Package"? What exactly does that do for the performance?
for visual only.
W Scott it comes with some new brake pads. Should be much better than the previous ones.
Francis Fung Everyone knows the red paint adds at lest 10 to 15 hp. They did it to make them look like Brembos.
It's the Jurid brake pads.
Good for 23kw at the wheels. Maaad

kbk011 if your judging another male by the clothes he has on...you might wanna think about coming out the closet bro.
I am waiting for the 2018 WRX to be available, will come in November 2017 at my local dealership.
What is the sticker price for that car?
Chris P most likely overpriced
About 32 probably
Teh StyLz oh yea lol the limited is around 35k and still has less features than my 2013 charger sxt lmaooo
How tall are you?
WHAT'S NEW? compare it to the old car more, i'm trying to make an informed decision over here.
47 am i to old for this car ?
Stéphane heck no lol. Especially since the 18 WRX gets revised suspension for better ride quality. The STI maybe a bit too much tho.
the WRX should be good for me, thanks lolll
I sold a WRX to a women in her 60's so I'd say you're good to go haha.
It's old guys like us that can afford the cars new and the insurance. Love my 2017 WR Blue WRX.
Stéphane : if you have to ask if you're too old for this car, then you probably are
I'm 65 bought a 2016 WRX, and l don't give a crap what other ricers think.
Goes through the trouble of blurring out the license plate on the front
Completely forgets to do the rear @ 1:51
Audi A3 2.0t or Subaru WRX?.......GO
Thicker glasses. Now that's attention to details!
Are the recaro seats still heated?
Mike Kern , yes it is.

49,000 in on a wrx base model, payments for 9 years. What a deal lol
subaru is the best and there is none better sorry
Just dumb that the painted red calipers in performance package I guess red paint give 20 more hp smh just dumb shit that subaru do
