@cstorey987 Let me just go ahead and stop you before you embarrass yourself anymore, junior. You prefer a newer car with less power and torque than its 16 year old cousin, that weighs at least 200 pounds more with a less aggressive suspension and inferior AWD system. Of course, you can always spend thousands of dollars in extras that add little STi logos and lights everywhere, plus thousands more for little carbon trim pieces, front splitter, rear and side diffusers, side lips, vortex generators, and a little duckbill with a carbon trim piece below it. Expect to pay up to $55k MSRP for that WRX TR with all that extra crap. Have fun with that, but male sure you don't put all of your money into your down payment. Once you drop thousands more on parts and a tune, you still be slower than a 16-20 year old STi. Congrats! Then you can start saving for your rebuild when your headgasket or ringlands or whatever goes. Now you're a real G.
Until you actually own one and drive one and realise its the best wrx ever made. People who actually rally their wrx or drive in deep snow for half the year know how much protection the cladding offers. As a previous 2017 VA owner my new VB beats it in every way.
I also had a 17, do you still feel this is a decent upgrade? I sold mine a while back and am looking to get back into one, either the new wrx or the newest sti I can find, hard deciding.
@@EvolutionIX219 this one just doesn't look that sporty. You could throw a Toyota badge on it and tell me Toyota made their Corolla or Camry more sporty and I'd believe you.
I dont like it at all but thats what car bras are for 😂😂😂 this is for when you, yourself decide to drive off road and kick some rocks up. At least Thats what they say
Because that's misleading? "Hey guys, look at these amazing performance figures and all these QoL features this car has!! Oh btw, this is the top shelf trim that costs a premium and a half b4 dealer markups"
Cloth seats are under rated. Back in the 80’s Buick had bucket seats that were pillowed. Talk about comfortable. It was like sitting on a huge cotton ball.
Definitely underrated. Doesn't get hot as holy hell fire in the summer and colder than a witch's titty in the winter. And personally cloth has held up better over time for me than leather.
I got a WR blue premium with the moon roof and Harmon Kardon upgrade. Also added in a bunch of extras that made the final cost $40k. Absolutely love this car. Looks the most like a rally car that the WRX has in years. It also sounds significantly better if you opt for the STi muffler upgrade or an aftermarket exhaust
@@flov-spec7574You know this car probably cost as much as your STI did right? That new loaded TR trim is $42k. Not really, go look on what aftermarket is doing with the VB. Probably the first Subaru engine, you can make good power on without it blowing up. Lol
I bought a 2021 with tints, aftermarket STI exhaust and some additional add-ons about two weeks ago and love it. Almost got a ‘22 but I really disliked the styling.
It looks significantly better on black and dark grey wrx because it matches the cladding colour. Can confirm as coworker has dark grey. Saw one in orange it definitely was way wprse.

Here’s an idea, let’s just cover the entire car in plastic cladding to save the paint. 🤣 Maybe I’m weird, but I like seeing the paint I paid good money for. Lol
32k for a base. You could get one for 32k for a premium with out moonroof and sound system if dealer is willing to negotiate . Maybe in warmer states you could get that same trim package at 32k. That trim is more like 35k
Everyone talks about how the back looks like a civic but when you put the two next to each other they actually look very different. Also something I learned was the tail lights are designed to look like magma flowing through them when they’re on, and up close yeah it looks really cool.
If they sold the wagon it would look good and have more room. They sell in in Australia, New Zealand ans now Mexico. Mexico gets it with a 6 speed too. Not sure why they insist on forcing it with cvt only everywhere else.
Just gotta say, your videos ROCK! Living vicariously through, wishing I could be the guy doing what you do! On disability and can’t afford to anything but watch. ❤
I have a 22 WRX GT with an exhaust, tune, recaro bucket seats, and some STI trim pieces, while it is an automatic it is extremely fun whether I’m off-roading or on the street, all you need is an exhaust and it sounds amazing!
They ever sort that engine out? It was known for being sporty (at least the STI) but fairly fragile. I think it’s awesome you can still get this with a true manual and 4wd. The looks aren’t my favorite but I appreciate them toning it down a little.
This quay is a legend when it comes to super short yet detailed car reviews. He sets the trend and everyone copied his style. He should get an award. Awesome.
My first car was a 02 automatic wrx sedan.. drove it for about a year or so off and me being dumb n young I killed the motor but not before I slapped a sti wing on it the week before… also regret not muffler deleting for that rumble. It was a very fun and nice car to own but I wouldn’t never own another again but love to see them around
the back looks like every recent camry/accord etc, the front looks like they squished the forester/outback, the screen is ridiculous especially in a “rally bred car” (or in any car), i could have made better looking fenders, the front bumper looks overcomplicated and oversimplified at the same time, it’s not an STI, and it’s not a hatch.
Wish it came with a hatchback and manual STI option w/ comparable horsepower to canceled focus, RS. STILL, I like the current WRX manual here, and would totally daily drive it.
I work at Subaru, i never thought i would want a Subaru. But this really is a nice car in person, i love driving them around at work. I honestly want one. If u like driving stick, youll love it once u behind the wheel
My buddy has a mildly modified one and I’m actually kinda impressed with it 🤷🏽♂️ his is automatic but other than that it sounds good, made a big jump with minimal mods, sounds good, I’d honestly probably get one if I wasn’t as big a fan of v8’s as I am lol, but if I went 4cyl. I’d go with a boxer. A 600 hp wrx would be nuts tho I ain’t gonna lie 😂
I wonder what being pinned feels like...
