It's the power delivery. Everything now has the turbo all smoothed out. I miss the way these had a sledgehammer of torque when the boost kicks in. It's addictive and it never gets boring. Would have another for sure. Also blobeye is peak Impreza.
I'm 57 and just bought a 2002 WRX. The deal was too good to pass up.
I got to admit at 33, i have a wrx sti and have the same smile as 8mins in when i give it a tickle 😂
Supply and demand. New cars suck, old cars become few and far between. Prices go up.
Had my blob eye WRX300 over 10 years now and still love it. It’s never let me down yet👌🏻
Bought my STI brand new for 36k USD in 2015. Traded it in, in 2022, Dealer gave me 40k USD in trade equity for it. Dealer turned around and listed my STI for 47k USD and it sold in 3 days for 45K USD.
You missed the bug eye after classic
I have a Hawkeye GB270 and I absolutely love it 😎
Might be one up for sale on the island soon. Good video j 👌
I bought my jdm Hawkeye sti last December. I’m 21 and so glad to have got one before the prices go mad after wanting one for years. There’s definitely not a big window of time left to get in before they become unobtainable like everything else, it’s a 20 year old car that was an icon upon its release, the price increase was inevitable imo
How much is that to insure at 21?
It tells you something, if Richard Hammond from top gear, who has driven thousands of performance cars, buys one of these and says its the best driving car he's ever had, they must be good
I was going to sell my blobeye but changed my mine so its my weekend fun now, i love it and will keep it forever
Brilliant cars! I loved the way these drive! But as you said Jamie the sheer price of them now is ridiculous... They have near enough doubled it price. Can't beat a classic wrx though
Bought my first WRX at 27. I've had it almost a year now and holy cow.. what a car. Its everything I dreampt it would be.
My nephew bought a silver blob eye RS Impreza for his first car & he love's it, he's never had any major issues with the car in the 7ish years he's had it.
Yeah I was 22 when I bought my first blob eye STi in the US! They had just hit the shores in 04. I actually bought a brand new WRX in 04,(paid 22k for it) Drove it for a month and traded it in for a Used 04 STi with like 5000 miles on it for 24k USD!
Those were good times, that's why I hang on to my VA STi, and try not to put too many miles on it, because good deals on JDM cars just don't exist anymore
Hi mate, I have the WRX STI JDM twinscroll imported blobeye, I love how to enjoyed the Subaru would you like to do a video on it to see difference between the wrx and the sti version?
my mum had a Impreza estate N/A auto when i was younger and i've always wanted one since. Recently got a 03 WRX wagon and i absolutely bloody love it. got some bits and bobs to tidy up but it's practical and fun to drive. winner all round. i know the wagons aren't to everyones tastes but i love them.
The first car I bought was a 2008 BMW e60 535d m sport Lci.
Got a 2000 Turbo Wagon in 2017 for £2500, same car now is £7000-£8000.
After that I got a R34 Skyline GTT and the video you did with the Pikachu riding shotgun in white one was a big part of what convinced me to go through with it so thank you!
Just about to go for a super clean JDM Forester similarly with nice STi bits on it. Half the price of an equivalent Impreza, that is the bargain way in now!
I’ve owned a classic and a Hawkeye wrx sl, both fantastic cars
I wanted a wrx as soon as I played the first gran tourismo at like 18. It took a while but I got one. Now I'm 43 and driving a sti. It's my 3rd turbo subaru and i could go the rest of my life driving one and be perfectly content
Would have loved a car like that in my younger years👌. Always preferred the Impreza to the Evo
Childhood dream car for me 👌🏼
No mention of bug eye jamie 😮??
I bought a 2015 WRX Limited and I really enjoy driving the car!
Good sti review
I bought my first wrx when I was 36.. It was like nothing I ever drove before . I just bought a STI the engine is knacked but I will replace it and enjoy it .
Got a 700 whp bug
600 whp stock engine sti blob
300 whp blob wrx
650 whp Type RA 2000 😅
Dayum bro 😂😂💯
I was at the local petrol station the other day filling up and the young lad next to me was filling up his mk2 focus which I thought had an rs body kit. It turned out to be a proper rs and it was his and he was only 22! Crazy. Meanwhile I’m 35 with a mk5 golf gti 😅 madness
In Australia they are called Impreza , not Impretza
Who cares
@@Markosbourne24 maybe the people that created the badge 🤷🏿♂️
I had my scoobie at 27yrs old in my first year of legal driving (in 2012) it was a 92 K reg import with bigger turbo and loads of tasty mods running approx 320bhp. I loved it, spent around £100 on fuel each week of the 3 weeks I had it before I wrote it off during a road rage overtake (I was injecting test and had a big burger waiting for me) so at 20 you have to be a sensible lad in one of these because they make you feel invincible with that aggressive power delivery and all that lovely noise! I would have another but mine was £800, now they are worth 10x that amount so it's unlikely. Take care and enjoy :)
5 years ago I bought a 2007 Hawkeye WRX completely stock with only 28K on it for 8K. It now has 57K on it and it is my DD. Yes if you do the work on it yourself they are budget except for the road tax. Pretty simple cars to work on to despite the hate due to the spark plugs and the myth that they blow up. Yes they do blow up if you do not get the mods mapped.
I bought my 2010 WRX Sedan at 32 and had to sell my 2018 Forester to get it. Not a moment of regret. Best thing I've ever done re: cars.
A Genuine White STi PPP is where its at!
Your title alone rose the price with how its phrased
i am gonna say if you buy any wrx from 2002-2014 . If you get a STI hold on to it . I told my friend when he had his Honda Civic Type R in 2002 to keep it and now they are basically investment tools.
This is the best looking WRX year model imo. The newest one doesn't have that raw rally look.
About 5 years ago I had the chance to buy a 1 owner blue wrx Impreza, 03 plate 80k miles, 6000 quid. Gold wheels, big spoiler. I Was looking for Family car and bottled it. Bought a 5 series😢
Depending what 5 series you bought you probably made the right decision 😂
@@loopylou7813not the right one. It was a 2011 2 litre diesel with a squeaky dashboard. Sold it in under a year and have driven a Toyota avensis 2006 petrol ever since (was supposed to be temporary hahahahaha). I will defend the Toyota tho, it cost me a grand, and I’ve done nearly 50,000 miles with minimal issues: but it has had a radiator, clutch, petrol tank seal, and coil pack in the last year:
5 years ago maybe 6 bought a lady 1 owner 05 prodrive pp wrx 2.0 saloon in black .
Paid 3 grand and needed a wing which was dented and a good clean but no issues mechanically done 85k miles .
3 grand lol ..sold it for £5999 and took a Peugeot gti and £4500 for it so made money and then sold the gti for £2500 .
Absolutely 💯 I done 4 grand easy money and that car today would be £9000-£10000 so someone done ok ✅
@@chiefrocka8604 you sir were a lucky man getting that beast for 3k. Thats an absolute steal
Would you like to review a Subaru type R RA...evo 6 gsr...evo 6 tommy mac...evo 7 rs sprint extreme...evo 9 gt ...clio Williams?? If you are interested let me know m8
Everyone forgets the bug. Made from 2000/ mid 2003 makes it the car with the fewest numbers.
The bug was the one that divided opinion so much when it first appeared on the scene, probably because of the major shape change from the classic gc8 shape that put subaru imprezas on the map.
I didn't really like them much for a few years but they gradually grew on me until it started to become an obsession to own one. Finally got my black Bugeye (sti replica) 4 years ago and that car gave me some absolutely brilliant feelings when driving it. Needs a bit if tlc these days and hasn't moved in quite a while but I doubt I could sell it as it was such a dream to own one.
Bought a beautiful black Blobeye last year with some tasteful modifications and to be honest the thing is silly 🤪 in a good way......
Love the feel of the steering when turning into a corner, the rumble from the exhaust, the dump valve noises 🤤🤤🤤
Never get tired of driving it.
It always turns heads and receives many compliments from people of all ages.
Such brilliant cars 🤌🤌
@@bendrummond3063 funny I didn't like them either after having 2 classic. 10 years later I own a jdm bug sti and love it. Human mind is so fickle.
They have levelled off now and are coming down a bit in price. They only peaked during covid. I bought my JDM widetrack for 11k and sold for 18.5k 2 years later. The cars up for sale at the higher prices have been sat for a sale a long time if you've been following the market.
JDM widetracks are all still over the 15k-18k mark and will probably stay there
@@Exzdyeah they might be up at that price but they aren't selling unless it's something special like a spec c etc
@@Exzd Yeah, but not selling at that price. You can list for whatever you want, unless someone really wants it they won't pay over the odds.
@@RatchetMonkey totally agree 👌🏻
Fancy doing a Japanese import Mercedes E55 AMG
Paid 12k for my hawkeye sti in August
Drove it once and blew the engine so whacked a forged motor in
Drive one. They're just 👌
Its worth the money. Best cars in the world for me, still smile as much as when i first bought my scooby.
My dream car i would love to own one. One day
Compare to EVO the STI most underrated performance car.
They arent, you can still find a 2005 sti with high miles for less than 15k. Now civic Si's on the other hand, the older ones, are starting to really go up in price.. for no reason.
I have a 2005 sti lightly modded and a 2020 wrx and prefer my sti all day
Scobbys are just icons same as the evo will only apriciate in value
Mate hawkeye is the ultimate impreza last of the real cars not blobs hawkeye wrx sti widetrack is the way to go
Am I alone on this.. but I find the WRX underpowered ! Just got rid of a WRX.... but I find you need the sti to really feel the power....
Japanese car prices are going crazy because alot are now ready to be allowed into the USA.
Love Subaru ❤
What must the owners insurance be for that at 20 😅
Hello mate it’s mine, so at 20 i pay 2.3 all mods declared with admiral
But i do worry for my renewal 😅
@@MontyBardell how that’s quite cheap. What area if you don’t mind me asking?
@@MontyBardell I hope to get one by 20
2.3?! AS IN 2.3K!! i have a 05 (blobeye) WRX at 20 for just over 1k through Hastings. @@MontyBardell
How’s he affording the fuel & insurance at 20 🧐
These Imprezas have been getting expensive for a long time. It’s definitely not a recent thing.
You lost me at ecoboost is a good car 😂
they're getting wrecked, blown up etc. thats why
Eh, upbadging any car is most of the time not cool, this one is no different, nothing wrong with a wrx
Bought it with all the badges mate, already taken off the sti ones on the back and grill, the stickers are a right pain and you can tell on the wing i’ve given it a go but she’s proper stuck in there 🤣
@@MontyBardell nah you're alright, was more aiming at the video creator glazing the badges every 10 seconds
Expensive? huh? 7000 pounds for a WRX is nothing. A rusty WRX blobeye is atleast 15000 pounds in norway, e decent one is 20-25k, STI's are 30-40k lol
Something tells me that the owner is 20...
Impretza
because they are made from cheese
That’s true there great cars but not worth the hassle
Uhoh experts here , I’ve got 3 all Sky rocketed In value plus I even have people asking me to sell .
If I sold my 3 I stand to make £27 grand profit looking at others .
You won’t have nearly £30 grand in your hand ever😂 plus pp it’s like £50k back on 3 good Subarus 😂
Fair play love it
Paste
I have had 12 various Subaru versions. Never had a breakdown. Run them cheap and they break.
the problem is they're ugly, they're rust buckets, most of the owners are complete chavs and the obsession with scooby doo as a 40 year old bloke is painful to watch. Unless you're doing big big builds on type R or P1 they'll always be the 6 previous owners project car that is never sorted.
God loves you,
And wants to build a serious relationship with you peoples,
Give your life to him,
And in a HOLY GHOST CHURCH
by a connection to John 3:5 and acts 2:38 in the bible
You should start doing more car reviews.
supply & demand the 500000yen in Japan auction with 300k+
I have 4 of them and a legacy spec b gt, they are the best car, no-one ever want to race at lights cuz they are scared they’ll get smoked.
