GC8s have such a timeless body design, there's just something beautiful about the sleek body lines/side profile. Never been a fan of the Evo series after the 3rd generation, but I can't doubt their performance. Overall I have to agree the Type R takes it because of it's character and uniqueness (totally not biased because I drive one)
I'm genuinely surprised by such rare and valuable cars to be on the streets of Malaysia, the very country I'm living in!! Man now I'm really crossing my fingers in hoping to see any of them!!
Team evo for life, had a bad experience with a GC8 once (conrod bearing). Impreza handles well compared to an evo but if asked to own either one then its an evo for sure. More parts available here, easy to maintain, easy to make it go faster.
The vent on the Subaru's roof is actually to create a positive cabin pressure to ensure dust on rally stages doesn't enter the car. Even modern WRC cars have them but they look a little more atheistically pleasing.

Love both always be a Subi guy, but the EVI TME is sick, but the rumble is better than the jungle! Can’t beat a Subis rumble..Bs on sales, the 22b sold out in less than 3minutes.. Plus Subaru variants which are many, did the EVO ever come as a 2 door, NO.. that alone is cool, though the hatch variant Impreza is my lest favorite, they also made a hatch did a Mitsubishi make an EVO hatch, STI made a Legacy variant and a Forester variant which was on the Impreza chassis, that’s sick. You can tell the difference it has 2 doors, EVO has four, that alone is cool and screams true race car, real race cars have 2 doors not four.. does the GR Yaris have 4 doors? All that said, I do love the EVO 5 in Wasp Yellow with the Ralliart decals, the TME 6.5 is legendary and up they’re with the 22b, imo the P1 is even more rare than the Tyle R and 22b, but many things set the 22b apart, width, body panels fully closed deck engine etc etc, but actually P1s are rarer. Imo the 6.5 tME really should be compared with a GD chassis, again the RB320 (Richard Burns edition Hawkeye is super rare and super sick) 320 was for 320 only produced and also celebrated his world championship. The 5/6.5 and MR9 FQs are my fav EVOs. Both are sick versions of a what a JDM performance rally car for road represent appreciate! don’t hate!
well .....technically mitsubishi do have evo coupe....but they called it eclipse......well if you want a awd the gsx is the one you looking for.......too bad it was a left hand drive car.... @.@
Owned an EVO VI and now have an STi RA. Both fantastic cars but the RA is the car I kept. It is a more visceral experience and imo a lot more fun, and honestly every bit as quick.
Great video apart from the silly bickering towards the end. Please don’t do that in future videos. Any true enthusiast will appreciate both cars and it got very stupid and annoying after a while.
@@NoEqual if u want more handling Impreza will do the trick but if come with more power and beast performance Evo is the best..both have pro and contra..thanx admin

Thus far, there is no known original 22B STI in Malaysia. We've featured a super well made replica before on NE's facebook channel a while back though.
I love both cars and I've owned both cars here in Australia, I'm sorry but the guy driving the Evo really annoys me. Shows how much of a car enthusiast you are if youre bias as.
Hi, nice video 👍 You drove also the Yaris GR. Make the Yaris GR more or less fun? Could you describe the differences in the feeling, driving? Thanks a lot.
They're very different machines, but I would highlight that the GR Yaris has very similar feel to these generation cars in terms of steering input and AWD traction. They're not the same thing, but what the GRYaris has is an essence of what these cars were like back then - simple, focused, and very unique in the way it delivers fun & performance. I could extend in terms of handling, chassis, etc but would be a full write up here. XD But overall, the GR Yaris delivers an all round package better than both these cars put together - newer technology, better NVH, electronics and infotainment, etc. Hope that helps. :D
@@Thenewaddiction Thank you very much :-) "I could extend in terms of handling, chassis, etc but would be a full write up here." This (write, video) will be very interresting for a lot of readers ;-) Is the GR faster, moderner, .... Type R and Evo 6.5 more raw, mechanical.....?
nice video. but you guys should have get personalities in rally like Karamjit, Saladin Mazlan to test the cars and talk about the cars. you guys are getting info from the net about the cars. you cant humanise the content. Malaysia car review video/youtubers need to think out of the box.
Thanks for the support and feedback 🙏🏻 we agree that by getting professional driver reviewing the car will add credibility to the content however, with the short span of time that we get to spend with the car, it is quite impossible for us to make arrangement that involve individual outside of our own circle. Maybe one day we can execute such content project tho. Thanks again! 🙏🏻

I don't think you know what timeless means. It's beautiful but It's very time captured. It's such a 90s looking design.
I actually own both. Alhumdolillah. But I’m team
Subaru all the way.
Bro this is the type r
I have both and love both 😍 a STI 2012 for sunday and an Evo 6 for track

Good point in terms of parts availability.
Evos are horrible daily cars
Thats like saying you had a bad experience with a female so you turned gay for life
Both legendary cars
@JJR I'd love to own an evo as I've had wrxs and stis most my youth

Aaahh. This Subaru reminded me of Bunta too :')
Great video man. You have good talking and interesting things to say! Good job

mcm jeremy clarkson dgn james may dah part debate tu🤣
What does the STI stand for? Sexually transmitted Infection? Thissssss😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I really love how they roasted each other
Owned an EVO VI and now have an STi RA. Both fantastic cars but the RA is the car I kept. It is a more visceral experience and imo a lot more fun, and honestly every bit as quick.
Nice one. Can we vids on Celica ST202/ 205 GT4 rally? Hard to find local review. Champs all the way back before Subaru / Evo time. 🙏
Nice video but not sure if the Top Gear/ Fifth Gear style of criticizing each other’s car part necessary?
I actually liked that was pretty funny and when they talk about that u can see the negative parts of each car
Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback!
Qhalis bro, wow..!! its great to see you getting fit, anyway stay safe and healthy. Peace.
Dexter from ex C.B.T team
Underrated content. Unlike some channel. You know......
Thanks for the support 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Is the Subaru up for sale By any chance?
I have a '99 Ver 5 Limited. I found the STi joke funny lol. Sexually Transmitted Infection
first time baru tahu gc8 type r kat ada malaysia
Gc8’s the sexiest car ever, can’t wait to own one
You two are every scoobie owner and Mitsy in a car park 😂😂
The GC8 is the most beautiful Subaru ever made IMO.
Great video apart from the silly bickering towards the end. Please don’t do that in future videos. Any true enthusiast will appreciate both cars and it got very stupid and annoying after a while.

@@NoEqual I was baked when I watched this so it was hilarious to me lol 🤷♂️
It is the best part tho
Nice, this lagend sound off subaru cars... Thanks for sharing this 👍
Thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed it :D
So lucky to drive that car.
Widebody gc8 owner and yep they break necks all the time.
Ex owner of gc8 and Evo 6 here..
Share us your experience!
@@NoEqual if u want more handling Impreza will do the trick but if come with more power and beast performance Evo is the best..both have pro and contra..thanx admin
Why Subaru always feels underpowered than an Evo? Is it because of the engine or weight?

5:41 Who let the Evo starved and ended up eating the dried leaves😂
I’ve owned both the makinen is a far better car .
Tommi special.🙏
any chance to review STI 22B? i saw on ig one Malaysian owner take a pic at putrajaya
Thus far, there is no known original 22B STI in Malaysia. We've featured a super well made replica before on NE's facebook channel a while back though.
wow a coupe gc8.......very nice
Maaf nak tanya berapa unit GC8 original otr di Malaysia?
Quite a lot to be honest especially sejak beberapa tahun kebelakangan ni banyak masuk dari Japan.
GC8 : Never actually seen one here yet... btw how many are they in M'sia?
I love both cars and I've owned both cars here in Australia, I'm sorry but the guy driving the Evo really annoys me. Shows how much of a car enthusiast you are if youre bias as.

Is the GR faster, moderner, ....
Type R and Evo 6.5 more raw, mechanical.....?
are you at malaysia
Yes, we're based in Malaysia :)
Power per tonne 165kw it fast, new cars much heavier with more power
GC8 FTW
Subaru GC Legend :)
Celica superiority
Nobody going to mention the dccd in the type R?
Not that useful on tarmac in comparison to yaw control, but they did make the point the Type R is better on gravel which points to the DCCD.
What you mean its not fast you see the 0.60 on these weapons its raw and a very fast cars we build evos thete raw and fast cars.
STI = Sexually Transmitted Infection.. hahaha 😂 has
Banter at the end too much pretending to be jeremy clarkson and james may

If we're talking about rallying - then yeah sure why not. They'd be perfect for it.
This was hard to watch, very odd angles of knowledge 🤔
Subaru 22b...very2 rare in the world
Whwn Qhalis calls Daniel.. I terasa nk jwb.. 😂
bro gc8 has 4 doors but this has 2 door so its called 22B and it cost 1M ringgit
No, the gc8 type R is a two door like the 22b
