all ill say @kiwicarlife is after my mate Adyan found this banger video, is you gained three subscribers.. cause we were all stoked to see this beast on a video!!
3:57 expected more from a 2 liter?? I’m impressed by my 2.5l every time I drive it and from doing the math, a naturally aspirated 2.5l boxer motor makes as much power per cylinder as a V8 Dodge Hemi 😯 That blew my mind, I can’t believe you’re underwhelmed by it!
Hmm once it gets over 200 depending on how it's been maintained you might start having some issues with like suspension bushes and burning oil and do on. I'd never expect it to leave you stranded, but every high km car is gonna have issues and might start failing inspections etc. Try find one under 200 if you can, but if you find one that looks in great shape over 200 don't turn it away I guess
@@KiwiCarLife Bought one with 520k km on the Odo. It had actually recently passed inspection and managed a 250km journey home. Has a couple of issues, but I picked her up for dirt cheap, can't complain. :)
@@KiwiCarLife do you recommend this as my first car? This car is currently on top of my list, any major issues you came along with? I'm used to big diesel cars, Pajero Sport, Hiluxes ,etc. Also thanks for this vid, keep it up good sir
If you want buy a car in year 2008 thats engine tech is 10years behind competition whit no noise insulation what so ever and carpets thick as toilet paper, a car whit dash so basic its even missing range meter, then this was great car for you.

Yeah man it’s pretty sluggish haga
it weighs a bunch and its awd with nearly the same power as a NA sr20 from 20 years ago.
where as a k20 nearly 200hp...
@@rackcity-sz4oy In my little bit of research ive done, you seem to be correct, nissan k20 out performs and outlast subaru engines.
Cool guy great review
Thanks
Your welcome
Do you have a review on Toyota blades
@@LoveLeeSummer yep search blade vs 130i it’ll come up

Hey I’m looking at buying one of these for my first car to learn in manual. How many kms do you think are too many for this car? Cheers

Nice idea the counter xD
Yeah lol no idea why I said nice so many times I didn't even realise
guessing it handles better then the legacy 3.0 did?
Not sure about outright "handling" as such, but definitely feels a lot more confidence inspiring to drive
SUBARU! Sututututu
Yeahhhh
Nooo stu😂
Nice
Cheers
so does it share the same body as the wrx or is it different body with wrx motor/etc minus the turbo
Same as narrow body wrx minus turbo
@@KiwiCarLife sicc, im thinking of getting one as a project car cause wrx sti’s are way tf out of my price range
@@KiwiCarLife is it worth it to put a turbo onto it
can you do a review on the s-gt?
Maybe
is this the toyota 86 subaru brz engine
Nah
pretty sure this is the same model in Aus?
Yep maybe called something different who knows
what does this generation engines name? is 20r different from ej20?
Just a double cam EJ20 n/a

Do you know what the engine is called? Ik it’s a flat 4 2.0 but I’m trying to find the name
EJ20
@@KiwiCarLife cheers
it is worth it to buy 2008 Subaru Impreza R Sport Manual ? what is the common problem ?
they're decent but there are better cars out there
Hey bro, do you want to review my car? Its a 1996 STI, completely stock and quite tidy.
Yeah could be keen, hit me up on insta @kiwicarlife.yt
what does comfertabley mean???

HAHAH that’s not entirely true it’s got a range meter. But yes agree it looks good but the interior and engine let it down
@@KiwiCarLife Where it is? I have had this for some while and i havent yet to found it.
Not sure on the NZ specs but in Auz the engine is a descent upgrade other the older 2L
imma trade my 2008 1.5l for a 2010 legacy 2.5 gt 5th gen once I get my restricted
That'll be a nice upgrade!
8.7 km/l , that is a bit bad avg.
Yeah not great haha
drive an altezza!!
Got one in the pipeline!
