2005 Subaru WRX STI // A survivor car with only 10,000 miles
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 вер 2024
- This 2005 Subaru WRX STI has been driven just over 650 miles per year and the original owner preserved the car with 3M film on all the facing surfaces. This is as close touting a car in a bubble as you can get. The interior is stunning and shows zero signs of wear. The WRX STI in 2005 had 300hp from a 2.5L turbo 4-cylinder and standard AWD, plus a central differential torque split and a 6-speed manual transmission. You won't find a better example anywhere.

The 2005 was the pinnacle year of the STI in the North American Market. It received all the same upgrades that the 2006-2007 “Hawkeye” STI has, with the crucial difference being that it carried over the 35% Front / 65% Rear Torque split that the 2004 STI had. What this means is that running the car in DCCD manual mode, with the diff set to full unlocked, you have a car that handles with a fairly RWD bias AWD system. In the rain/snow, the car is an absolute RIOT to drive. In 2006 went to a 50/50 Torque split for the STI, which made it more prone to understeer.
This is an absolute gem and a totally iconic car of my generation. Whoever buys this thing, PLEASE don’t ruin it...
Thanks for sharing!
Jason Kernc my 04 has 120k miles and is on the stock turbo and motor still. Runs like an absolute champ. Playlist on my channel
Uh, the 06 and 07 are completely different.
Especially when comparing to the 05.
07 was the strongest best year . Especially if u swap a 05 sti trans in
@@cockus123 right, the 07 was stronger in many aspects. Strictly from a drivability standpoint and the sum of its parts contributing to that, I’d still take the 05. I always found the more rear biased 04/05 much more enjoyable to drive, with a much more neutral characteristic. The 06/07 felt much more prone to understeer.
You know you're getting old when a mint 2005 car is considered a "time-capsule survivor." D:
McRae & Grist. Absolute legends. Put Subaru on the map.
Wish cars are made like that again! The good ol days!
My dream car when I was graduating university here in Canada. It was $50,000 and that was huge money back then. Ended up getting a 2013 eventually, but that wasn’t the same. 2004-2005 was my favourite! Guessing this will command even more than a full msrp when it was new.
50k is still huge money lol
Picked up an '04 WRX 2 months ago with 85k on the clock for £4,500! It's the best car I've ever driven, and that sound! braaaawww pssssshttt!
I was there when Colin won the world championship, thanks for sharing.
Always a joy to see these, really analogue cars with that wonderful offbeat Subaru rumble from the exhaust.
Hood scoop will never be this prominent.
Awesome video, its crazy how this thing is in such good condition! All the people driving their 05's around here are just such a stark difference to this mint condition one
I swear these STIs are the best cars
Buying a 95k mile 05 STI now.
This car just sold on BaT for 40k. Wish I had that kind of money for a 15 year old car that cost 35k when it was new.
I’m a huge lover of Japanese engineering and this STI is my fav and dream car I have seen a listing for a mint one with only 41k miles over here in the US Hoping listings like this are still available when I can buy one
My dream car, can’t wait to buy one ☝🏾
Great review and one of my all time favorite cars. I owned a 2009 WRX with the 265hp and was a blast. Rally blue hatchback!! They need to bring back the hatch for next gen I hope.
Damn im late. I live in Vancouver, what a steal. So choked i missed this
Just bought this bad boy today, signed the bill of sale, wired the money, and is being imported to beautiful Helena, Montana!!!
Enjoy!
@@Motormouth... Thanks man!!!
how much did you buy this for
What a Beauty🖤
I am both happy and sad living in this era when I still have a chance to experience and appreciate cars that are raw, fun, mechanical, and affordable, but also know that car companies focus more on hybrid/EV and autonomous driving instead of those cars.
The Japanese versions revved up to 8000 rpm
Great little car by Subaru.
Mine has 174,000. Still running good. Guess you could say she’s a survivor 😂
Picked up my 05 sti a few months ago with 8k original miles.
@de danging more than I'd like go admit. 28k..
@de danging true that! I plan on keeping it 100% stock.
Zack this should be Jack's first car.
Miss my 05 STi
that is a unicorn car right there
I am still allowed to be driving a 93,000 km Subaru Forester GT from 1999 with a four speed auto and a cassette tape player. Bought new by mum and dad for $42k aussie dollars backbones day. The detuned Wrx engine is a little bit underwhelming. Mum won't let it go. She's 80.
I've seen this car on Eagle road in Eagle!
In the uk these were 2.0 the 2.5 came along in the Hawkeye onwards
Don't ruin this GEM! BTW, did it sell and what for, if so??
My dad has an 04 WRB STi thats been a garage queen with only 22k miles untouched and still in stock form. Hopefully I will be the one to get it and not my nephew since he is way too young and know the value of it! I already have my 2008 Subaru Legacy GT that I will be 6 speed swapping and built motor and would love to have my dads STi!
Would he be willing to sell ?
@@timelessmotorsports6811 he wouldn't even sell it to me lol
What a beauty!
Good. You are having fun.
Amazing car.
Beautiful!
Mr spencer do you have any info on the 2019 Subaru Forester passenger side air bag sensot
“Diamond in the rough”
That is sweeeet. 👌🏼
Zak, thanks for sharing. I noticed the OE battery was replaced by the aftermarket Everstart Maxx battery? Why wasn't replaced with an OE or OEM battery to keep its originality? So, I guess you can't say that this is a mint mint mint since the battery is not OE or OEM. The owner needs to invest a batter tender and plug it in to prevent the battery from draining when the car isn't being driven daily.
Probably cuz it died
@@Motormouth... Y, I knew that. For a car to be in a mint mint mint condition, only OE or OEM replacement parts be used. Walmart Everstart Maxx battery shouldn't find a home in a WRX STI. What's next, Crappy Tire parts find a home there?
7S POWER it’s just a battery.
get over it
People use to buy the base Impreza and mod it to be faster then the STI. Oh and cheaper lol. Subaru made money by doing the modding for you. The EVO was just as good as this. Sadly that era past.
6:21 Hey Zak, did you heel and toe double-clutch as you downshift?
Yes, most of the time
@@Motormouth... I couldn't really hear you blipped the throttle and engine revved up.
The first thing I'd do is cut the springs, roll the fenders, and add camber; hella flush is the period correct stance
There’s one with 268 original km located here in Quebec! The asking price is 85,000$ CAD. A unicorn
Hey do you have a link ?
@@timelessmotorsports6811 Don’t bother. It’s a scam.
@@timelessmotorsports6811 no link, because it’s been taken down and marked as scam.
Miles?
Probably will be on bring a trailer
10,000 miles, but odometer is in kilometers
Different 05 sti, with 59k miles on BAT... bringatrailerDOTcom/listing/2005-subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-35/
We might see this one on BAT soon
Zip ties bias plys
AvE or zip ties and bias plies.... both Canadian at least 🤙
Never dated too
College boy racer
sorry man i don't see a good review here cheers.
