Damn, Sepp. You got the best version 😭
You’re too kind! Everyone here knows you’ve got one of the most iconic VB’s🤘
@@carswithsepp haha dude HARDLY. The only thing special about my VB is the hard life its had 😂. The TR/RS is fantastic. Plus you're in Canada right? So you even get a spare.
@@HeavyMetalWRX All other trims in Canada has a spare tire but not RS.
Congrats on your car! Sapphire blue is a great choice.
Things that I like in RS trim:
Brembo calipers and Recaro seats of course. Also, I like that no sunroof. This is personal preference but I never use sunroof and I’d prefer more headroom and less weight.
Things that I am not thrilled:
I dont like the wheels. They look too busy for my liking. Also I wish they were 18s instead of 19. That way I could use stock wheels for winter tires and I could get nice light weight 18 wheels. Winter tires for 19 are limited and more expensive. Also, spare tire is a must for me. Extra expense to get the spare tire that is available in lower trims here in Canada. RS does not come with HK sound system. It seems like Subaru Canada wanted to save some money there. It’d be nice to have lumbar support like in Sport tech seats but I guess thats the price of having Recaros. Also I see Sport tech trim has heated rear seats but but not in RS. At least they kept the charging ports at rear.
I have a 2020 wrx and I’d consider VB wrx, especially RS trim. I just wish they would do a quick refresh for the rear bumpers in 2025. I dont mind plastic fender flares.
Fun fact... when Subaru placed the order for the Recaros, brembos, 19in rims..they were meant for the 2022/23 STI but when Subaru canceled the 2022/23 STI, they had all these brembos, recaros, 19in rims already ordered, paid for and couldn't cancel those orders so subaru ended up using them on the 2024 WRX TR and the 2022+Limited WRX.
Whoah! Legit? Where did you find this out!?
We need source on this
@cadekrok2862 Subaru WRX/STI Cheif Design Engineer talked about it during an interview in 2023. All of those items were designated for the STI that never came, so instead of losing money, they put them on the WRX and hiked up the price to cover the costs of those items.
I think you mean the 2022+GT’s. Limited doesn’t have Recaros
I mean thats what I would do if we decied to cancel the STI version.
I wish I had your video editing and oral presentation skills! Great content, and I hope you enjoy your new WRX RS/TR!
Thanks Rolando! I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)
Effortlessly exudes class and sophistication.
Hell yeah dude, subscribed!
Thanks man!!
Excellent overview … order yourself that OEM center armrest extension. It’s super easy to install and will enhance your driving experience. It should be standard equipment.
I really should! Thanks
Nice car and great review!
I ordered the GT version (in NB, Canada) after warming to the VB gen.
Thanks for the comment! Congrats on the new car!
I have an 08 hatchback and I'm starting to think it's time for an upgrade 🧐
Thanks for the video bro. I’m highly considering this over other options. I’m in Canada also but I don’t see the sapphire blue option just the rally blue?
Only deer you gotta worry about are those Cranbrook deer. They built different.
I have a 2023 WRX Premium. The Brembo brakes are nice but not necessary. The car is great in premium form.
Probably gonna get one of these...is the harmon Kardon system the only TR vs RS difference?
When I got my vb in Edmonton Alberta, it came with a spare tire to my surprise. Anyways, very nice car, I love the blue!
I’m jealous!! Thank you for the comment
The spare isn’t big enough to clear the new RS brembos.
@@SuzukiKid400 whoa...are you for real? How could they even let that happen? We don't even get the spare in US. Maybe they expect you to move a tire from the rear to the front and use the spare there.
Anything other than an RS gets a donut spare in Canada. It’s tiny, and I had to use it last winter on my ‘22. My new ‘24 RS just had a flat kit like that in this video.
@@SuzukiKid400 damn, I thought it still had the spare. That kind of makes me sad for RS owners. I'm putting a spare in my car soon. Especially after going dirt racing.
Former VA STI wonder. Had the last model made a 21 and 1000 of the last built. Originally wanted a TR but I don’t like eyesight and how intrusive it is to live with. Having to constantly turn it off gets annoying. The motor on the VB is by far its best feature. I opted for a 23 limited because I got it for under invoice vs a TR due to eyesight and eyesight alone. Wish climate control was actual physical buttons to turn and or press but oh well. The only thing I would add to this car to make it more or less the STI we all wanted is the transmission and differentials, and the brembos. Maybe a better oil pan and pickup design or something along the lines of a dry sump system. Driving the VB feels familiar in the way it feels close to the VA STI.. over all I say this is by far the best wrx Subaru has made, and I’m sure it would have been the best STI had it ever made it to production. We can all thank the climate cultist for ruining the VB STI for us.
You can thank Bidens build back worse plan for canceling the 2023 STI, it had nothing to do with climate. It was the result of post covid national and international infrastructure issues, i.e part supply shortages, labor shortages, raw material shortages and increase in labor and materials. Subaru saw that the cost vs. benefit exceeded STI demand, so they kept the cheaper model WRX and hiked up the price of the WRX MSRP to exceed the STI MSRP from previous generation prices to maintain a profitable margin on the WRX line.
Love your super informative video! I live in Toronto and I am thinking about getting a 2024 WRX RS. Will the suspension be too stiff for everyday driving?
Thanks man! If you’re coming from a previous gen STI or WRX, the suspension shouldn’t feel out of ordinary, but if you currently have a car that has a softer suspension, getting into this will feel pretty stiff. Some friends and family members are not huge fans of how the suspension feels over bumps. I drive this to work and back every day and it’s manageable but I wouldn’t say it’s comfy.
@@carswithsepp Thanks again for the detailed reply. Yeah I mostly want to choose the RS trim because I feel it's a better deal than Sport, but I did not think about the ride quality and such. I guess I'll have to do a test drive before placing the order!
@@davidwoo9293 All the best with the test drive - I'm confident you won't be disappointed :)
Forgot to mention the upgraded suspension. But unfortunately for the price I don't think it's worth it if they weren't going to go full sti
Do you have any advice as if the sti is worth the money over. Wrx
Id say it really depends what you want. Both are good daily drivers but the WRX is less track ready but better for commuting imo. So if you want a track/project car, I personally would go with an STI. If you want a do-it-all car, the wrx is a good pick
I’m going to get the same car, and I don’t recommend adding power or changing anything as if the Japanese engineer does not know what they were doing. Don’t watch money unless it’s an upgrade that involves new turbo.
There's a fix for the infotainment being laggy, i just cant remember what i think you gotta disable something
Let us know if you find it out
I echo this! Share if you find anything
Bro not the DEER just chillin in the background.
are you planning to mod it or keeping it stock?
That’s a tough question. I may make a video on all the thoughts I have when it comes to modding. Aesthetically, no doubt this car can use some changes. In terms of power mods, it’s a risk vs reward thing. The FA24 makes awesome power with very little modifications, but, in doing so the warranty is thrown out. As this is my only car I’m not as comfortable throwing performance parts on it, compared to someone who may have this car as their weekender car. One mod I can see myself doing soon is some sort of catback, maybe AWE touring.
@carswithsepp Totally understandable that would be an interesting video. I know subaru sells a sti underspoiler kit in black or red and it would look sick in red with your sapphire blue if that was something you were planning to do👌🏼
@@vittoriorossi7582 Oh yeah I agree! The red pops with the dark color blue forsure !
Do you plan on tuning it?
Not yet. Still thinking about the risk and reward thing. It’s my daily and I can’t afford to replace an engine if warranty is voided.
Good for you for fulfilling your dream. 😊
Is that grill stock ?
The grille is a dealer option. I had them install it for me when I picked it up
@@carswithsepp free of charge or you pay for it ?
its all about driving dynamics noyhing else
Free of charge ?
That stick out rare bumper is the most ugly ever seen in a car design. The designer need to be fire.
wait wait wait... we have a coin compartment instead of differential controller?
WTF
I will look for 2018 model and fuck this...
Why 2018? DCCD been around since the GD model years
@@carswithsepp Does 2024 model allow you to change traction from front to rear axis?
I saw the lack of the control knob and the presence of a coin compartment as you said and I thought you can't change traction
@@federiconatta2952 No it doesn't. The WRX never had the ability to modulate the power split to the front/rear wheels. Only the STI.
@@carswithsepp
Thanks
option 1: look for a 2018 STI, 35.000 to 40.000 euros here in Italy.
option 2: WRX and accept it can't modulate traction.
I was thinking to Yaris Gr also, but at similar prices (39.000 used, 47.000 new) I prefer Subaru
@@carswithseppactually, the dccd control does not change the torque split at all and never has. Look it up
It's getting uglier.
What the hell the designers are thinking
