BANAWE! Which is located here,.Along Quezon Ave is the place to be if your going to look for some spare parts for your car,,..But yeah just like this car you could always find it in their showrooms or of course there in BANAWE on a much cheaper price too that won't put a hole in your pocket
@@joshcastillo141 some are found there but mostly it’s hard. The gearbox of my outback still has no stock or still has no replacement and they’ve searched from Banawe, Evangelista, and Navotas. Yet we’re still trying and even the mechanics from Subaru are still trying to find a surplus. The new gearbox costs a wooping P600k atleast and a surplus is atleast 250k. That’s how expensive it is to maintain 2 Subaru but they’re good. Fuel efficiency nah. That’s where they need to improve plus the designs.
It’s not I’m bashing Subaru or trying to make you guys not buy a Subaru. I’m just informing you the budget that you need to maintain your Subies incase you ever buy or bought one here in the Philippines with limited budget you have or if you have money and can afford like even to wreck your subie and fix it like its new, go haha.
Good review, thank you. I live in Japan so see quite a few of these around and have decided that the car looks best, IMHO, in a darker colour which doesn't contrast so much with the black plastic. Dark blue, dark grey metallic and black seem to work best.
Verily a Filipino channel when your pain-exclamation is "arrrrrrrrrrrrrayyyyyy!" Me approve! I have this lovely orange version as Base. So many giggles per mile!
I understand what Caco meant when he said the steering does not give back much resistance and feedback. I've test driven my friend's previous gen WRX and the steering felt really light, almost like you're driving a race simulator.
Like the review style. I had 2018 Wrx CVT. Currently hav a Stinger 2.5 Gt line lease. Would like for a WRX refresh soon with body color fender. Also looking at Elantra N, K5 GT, and yes…even a 25 xse Camry. MF/RV and price will be a factor. Car payments have been so high lately
Comparing prices in the US, the base WRX is cheaper than the top of the line Forester. But here in the PH, the base WRX is way more expensive than top of the line Forester. Aside from intentional mark-ups, i dunno how else to explain it.
These cars are not intended to be budget friendly talaga, it keeps them exclusive to well-heeled people. Pansin ko palaging concern ng mga tao yung price ng parts na available naman. Magreklamo po tayo if hindi available ang parts. Apparently ang problema pala is hindi available ang pera. These cars are serviced by good casas and are moderately reliable anyway. No budget edi buy something pangmasa.
Um, I'm not "well-heeled" here in the US. Mine was a bargain at $32K vs. the other cars with this performance, esp. since I just bought the Base model. And this is the easiest clutch that I've ever driven!
I haven't found anyone that's reviewed the MT version of the WRX. Is it a base model? Is the infotainment the same as the CVT variant? Are there other trims or variants of the WRX? Is the tS, S4, or TR versions available in the Philippines?
i have a 2023 manual, this is the car for the driver only. Its hard and wife hates the rides... she prefers Type R it has more power and torque and most of all its very comfy....
Thats hefty of a price in the US market thats only around $32,735 which is rounds to 1.769..not 2.7M Over price again when it comes to PH market..they always think PH market are idiots probably some who wants to show off or have money yes..but it the US they barely on the road and some laugh at new version since a knock off version of Honda civic specially the back tailight and more plastic cladding..they need to stop jacking the price way too much and give PH market a reasonable price..
@@stebopign I understand even US has more taxes in everything they purchase..considering japan is more closer than the US we should having more taxes than PH..I just think its all about the government and dealer since they know PH market are fanatic of JDM’s they will buy regardless… since the stigma never dies on those who are fanatic of Japanese made vehicle..Im not bashing on JP cars since I owned a civic myself..just more towards PH market are being rigged when it comes to prices
Gotta love people comparing prices to American standards. Singaporeans have it much worse sa pricing. The problem is not gullible Pinoys, as Subaru has a good reputation anywhere. Consider that there is no Subaru plant in the Philippines unlike in America where cars are cheaper because of assembly planes and trade agreements.
@@CrossCuntyRic I understand were you coming from its just why cant they do the same thing with the trade/import agreement since JP is closer in the PH than US that could be more reasonable to be less cheaper considering they were built in Gunma, Japan..like other car brands less features and more overprice compare to neighboring countries..just my two cents
Unless you're an idiot who thinks he's Colin McRae, you're not really supposed to take it off-road. However, it is capable if the situation calls for it. Subaru has tremendous rally pedigree after all.
Those rally cars aren't stock, different engine different suspensions. Don't let them fool you into thinking that is the same Subaru that they rally with. @@thetrustysidekick3013
Don't be fooled into thinking that those Rally cars in the pro circuit are the same cars that is being shown here. Those are entirely different from engine to shocks. Merely a facade. @@thetrustysidekick3013

I dont know people hate the design but for me i like it.
The backseat segment was too funny! I subscribed right after😂😂😂😂
I love Subaru but spare parts are a problem after market. I own a Subaru Outback and a forester XT but the parts aren’t budget friendly.
How or where do you buy spare parts?
@Saratoga5mm Your friend just don’t know how to find and where to look. It’s very easy to find parts online.

I've been waiting you guys to review this car❤

The look certainly grows on you, but the Wagon is the nicer looking one for me haha

Hello to the haters of Subaru but as we can see it is the only brand who don’t fuck up specially with safety 😊

Love it, said what I said. Videos are brilliant and you can see you all get on really good banter. Keep it going guys
I've test driven this one. It handles well. As for power, a bit better than the Forester XT.

What about a Lexus Caco? Great review as usual 👏👏👏👌👌👌☝️👍
Hi,could you please include in your review cost of mentainance expenses-10kms- 50kms or more since this is very important in having a great car,
Orange Color Approved!
Hey auto deal may you review the all new Suzuki jimny 5 door 2024
I haven't found anyone that's reviewed the MT version of the WRX. Is it a base model? Is the infotainment the same as the CVT variant? Are there other trims or variants of the WRX? Is the tS, S4, or TR versions available in the Philippines?
a CVT with 350 nm of torque and 271 hp? Damn.
Look at this car i cant afford. But hey im enjoyng the review and its something!
"It looks like the last season of Game of Thrones, and I never even SAW that!" lol
Good car, great review..
Seen one in person and it looks like a ride from madmax
basing on price I'd be thinking of this wrx cvt or mazda cx60 gas 🤷
Thanks po Sir Caco 😊
Where's the RECARO seats?
I have this car a manual called wrx Rs in canada with brembo breaks and 19 inch wheels
wrx palang 2.8 na pano na pag lumabas STI.
Di na magre-release ng STI na ICE ang Subaru. EV na ang STI na irerelease nila. Last ICE STI na yung VA.
Review the BMW G87 M2 pls!😄
i have a 2023 manual, this is the car for the driver only. Its hard and wife hates the rides... she prefers Type R it has more power and torque and most of all its very comfy....
the b-rolls are heavenly. what a dashboard
looks better in wagon form.
I think this guy can compete on FLIPTOP OR PSP..
UY CHON TSKA PLINI!!!!! WHO'S PLAYLIST? HAHAHA
Gonna take the wrx against the type R

Make that $32K out the door in the US.
It's worth it.
Salut the balut!!!
No recaro seats?
Ah yes, lets put recaro seats into a base model, daily driven car to make it more expensive than it has to be 🤩🤩
Habang tumatagal napogi lalo sa mata ko toh ah!!!
I think it's cute, esp. in Orange!
ok na sana kaso Nakaka Civic yung taillights
Idk i really really like the rear
That cvt really turns me off.
Next time caco should be careful when stepping in the sports car
No CVT please
I body color bumpers.
a cvt? nooooo
I don't like the new design just to be honest 😕
WRX Wagon > WRX
You okay sir Caco? Hope nothing serious. Otherwise, I know a good orthopedic surgeon. 😅
🚗
WTF CVT Not even a 8 speed auto
The original Subaru that rivaled the Evo looked much better than this. This looks like a shorter version of the Crosstrek.
I feel the pain 😂.
Why would you want a 2.7mil sedan and want it to go offroad? am i missing something here?
Unless you're an idiot who thinks he's Colin McRae, you're not really supposed to take it off-road. However, it is capable if the situation calls for it. Subaru has tremendous rally pedigree after all.
Hindi lang kasi uso rally cars at road dito satin. Alanganin mga kalsada natin. sa ibang bansa may mga kalsada silang mas patag na offroad.

Help!!! emergency!!!
Least reliable engine and then match with a CVT? Good luck selling these.
The tech and the engine of this car is on the top. But the looks of both interior and exterior? Ehh? Especially the exterior. 2.7m baby.
Subaru’s have always went its own way with looks.
@@radbasa I agree 💯% but... I should at least look like a 2.7m car
@@jansSundews what does a 2.7m car look like?
@@topethermohenes7658 definitely more that this. 👍
@@jansSundews I see you can't even describe accurately what you said and just pasted a thumbs up sign if that means anything at all
Get a pick up or suv if you want to go off roading.
This wont even make it on the large deep potholes of MM.
This is funny considering Subaru has been using these cars in rallying for decades. Have you seen the Paris-Dakar rally?
It can offroad. Rally car off road.
But with the price the owner wouldn't even try.
Cvt is ass. I owned one right now
It ain't a real WRX STi if it's not a manual.
It is not an STI😅
Have you read the title? Smh. Reading comprehension is really a disease
only idiots will buy that wrx with a cvt
Instead of an upgrade, it's a downgrade! 😂
@@ProDotaUser performance car for the posers... pretentious idiots with rich parents!
Bear the name "rally legend", yet using CVT, that's a contradictive word to use in one sentence, what a joke Subaru 😂
It aint a Nissan CVT mind you.
@@CrossCuntyRic it's still a CVT
as usual from a japanese car, over price with a cheap and outdated interior
subaru is nearing bankruptcy and mazda is next
