👁 About this video : Today I get to drive the 2021 Subaru WRX STI and what a cool family sedan! Looking at the exterior, it has great subtle lines and functional vents all over! The hood scoop leads right to the top mounted intercooler so you don't have to worry about not getting any cooling for the boosted air! My favorite part is the massive fixed wing! Of course this is a factory part, but it looks normal on this car! It flows well with everything on the car! The interior is simple and functional! The screens provide great information and vitals within the car and the materials are very nice! I love the micro fiber on the door panel and seats, and the red leather is a great accent for the interior! Driving this car is very easy, the clutch is light, shifter is very engaging so this would be a great daily that has plenty to offer! It's not crazy loud stock, but obviously you have the option to mod this like crazy to get tons of power out of it!

My dream car and has been for many years.
Nice! The STI is a really cool car!
Ditto!
Got the same car and sand color. Amazing car. You’ll love it.
I have a 2016 and its my daily and I still love driving it. Its the best part of my work day just driving to and from work. And not to mention its an absolute beast in the snow! Good review video cheers!
Thanks for sharing! Anything that puts a smile on your face while driving is the right car! Glad you are enjoying your Subaru and I'm sure it's fun in the snow!!
What price
How many miles do you drive to work and back??...how much money in gas?
@@imberrojas9514 i put on around 35k km a year on it i drive it every day.
@@imberrojas9514 I probably spend a 100 to 120 dollars a week in gas.
I just bought a WRX non STI yesterday at my local dealer. I took the car for a test drive and I was floored how loud and fast the car is straight from factory. Best purchase I’ve made!
Cool! Definitely a fun car out of the box!
I just ordered a 2021
Subaru Sti same color. This is why I’m here. The car should be at the dealer any week now and I can’t wait. So watching this makes me even more excited.
Nice man!! You'll enjoy the new STI! They are fun cars for sure :)
Right there with ya. Been waiting over a month for mine and I just keep getting more and more stoked for it lol.
@@ianholmquist8492 Very cool!!!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed wow I haven’t seen one of your videos since I was 12. I’m 15 now and next year I can drive! This is probably the car I’m gonna get but the new c8 is nice
@@phantomjosh2148 Wow! Nice! For your first car you are choosing between 2 brand new sports cars? You saved up for them? For my first car at 16 my choice was between a 270k mile 98 subaru legacy wagon and a 150k mile mercury sable. Needless to say I chose the legacy, bought it with 1700 bucks cash that I made from mowing lawns and cutting firewood. I put 70k hard miles on it before it died from old age, abuse, and neglect. It was a good learning experience though. The Wrx Sti has been my dream car since age 13 finally making the dream a reality at 27. I hope your first car treats you well and you it. Happy motoring
Just bought one and drove it home. Owned 20 cars (new and used) and I have to say, this is the best purchase yet. Very fun to drive, acceleration is great and handling is superb
Sweet! The STI is a really fun car to drive!
Bro 20 cars... I wish
Do you recommend it for daily use?
This is such an AWESOME car. Well done! I believe this will be another future classic.
Thanks! I agree! Very solid car and I love how simple it is and fun to drive!
This video got me hyped for mine! Just purchased an STI today. Gets here late next week. Went with the recaro seats
Congrats!!! You will definitely have fun with this sedan! It's just so much fun to drive!!
The sound this beast emits is just mind blowing. Kudos Subaru
The Subaru has a distinctive sound for sure! Pretty good sounding even stock!
Sheeesh good review. Felt like he was directly talking to me and answering my questions lol
Glad you found the review to be helpful! Are you looking to get an STI!?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I am, I was hoping to get the new 2021 from Japan. Still haven’t seen much of it and the dealership doesn’t have much info to tell either. Subaru is being hush hush. (Currently in Guam)
A beautiful manual transmission, analog speedometer and mechanic handbrak.What else can you ask? A wonderful perfect car.And I don't have to mention quality and reliable Japanese products!
It's the perfect drivers car, with the added practicality of having the kids with you!
What year is your Subaru?
Still driving my 2011 and it brings a smile to my face every time I get behind the wheel. Only car I’ve ever kept for more than a few years. Never get bored of it!
Got my 2020 STI in January. I love mine i modified it a little quickly haha.
That's awesome! These are really fun cars!
You can tell this is a well liked vehicle by the number of views and likes in a short period of time. This car has a lot of followers.
I almost bought a WRX years ago, but it wasn't the STI version. I wish I had, but what I have now serves it's purpose. Fun video to watch.
Yea it's doing pretty well! The STI is a great sedan and fun to drive! Even the WRX is a great car and I'll be reviewing one soon to see the differences! Glad you enjoyed it!
i have a 2019 STI, its the third car ive owned and i love everything about it, i've never had any issues with it and im pretty diligent with keeping my car running clean and well, there will be a lot of people shitting on STI's because of "reliability issues" but those issues come from drivers and mods that arent properly done
@@ridetoliveofficial693 👍 I totally agree
You make a good point about that. I know they can handle some power, but if they aren't tuned properly, and really for any vehicle, that's when it goes south! Some bolt ons and a tune could give you reliable power without going crazy!
That would be a nice setup with a little bit more power for the STI!
Ordered my STI a couple of weeks ago and I’m very anxious to get it. When I test drove one at the dealer it exceeded my expectations. The one they had available did not have the wing and that’s a must.
An STI with no wing!? Who ordered that lol, but congrats! You will definitely enjoy it!
If I may... How much?
Most of the ones at the dealer I got mine at were wingless.
@@europeancarrescue.2290 sounds like WRXs not STIs
@@itllBuffGaming they were stis. I was picking from 7 of them.
I'm surprised and at the same time glad to see the black and red interior for a Subaru sedan. I've got a funny feeling that the future owner of this one will toss the lime green calipers to get red ones to match the interior.
I think this is a nice interior especially against the blue! But yeah, not sure where the green idea came from, but red would look a lot better! Fun Subaru to drive though!
This is my dream car, I’m hoping to be able to get mine this year. black with red rims. That will match the interior trim perfectly
Nice! Keep working hard towards it and it will happen this year! That will be a cool combo!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed 👊🏿
Me too
they never changed the look of this car lol always picked it as the secret car in initial d
What? The Subaru WRX has been changed over the years, it's much different from previous models!
COOL ....Keep It Up Guys !!!
side note: wish to meet someday in the future.
Bros FOURR Speed For Life 💖❤💙💚💛
Thanks for the support!! And hopefully car meet ups start happening again soon! We love going to those and meeting new people!!
I think I'll buy it..
Thank you!
Nice! Can't go wrong with the STI! Fantastic sportscar!
Brilliant review - We want to get our hands on one!
Thanks! The 2021 STI is a great car for sure. You'll enjoy checking one out
That is pure driving pleasure.
The Subaru WRX STI is a fun car!
That EJ25 is almost as old as I am now!😂 Still such a cool engine though! Love that despite the improvements they’ve made, Subaru hasn’t just engineered out all of the character and rough edges of the STI. Such a unique personality. Hope they preserve that for the next gen.
We'll see if they are making any changes! I know the 2022 BRZ is going to have some, but it's nothing drastic, so maybe the WRX won't change much!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed The FA24 will hopefully give it only advantages.
We'll see!! I'm not sure if those will hit the dealer lots by the end of this year or not, but I'm excited to see what Subaru has planned!
Wouldn't the engine always be almost as old as you are...
Well that last sentence aged well😭😪
WOW!!!!!!! I Totally In Love With This Car & This Car Is Clean Inside & Out.
The Subaru STI is a cool family sedan! Plenty of power stock and fun with the manual!
Why Are You Typing Like This?
I just got mine over a month ago and it’s a super car I love it
Glad you are enjoying your WRX! They are fun cars to drive!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed thanks man I am really enjoying my car it’s the same as the one they’re using for demonstrating or advertising or for whatever all I need now is to get my windows legally tinted
Great color and great video like always
Thank you 🤗 This is definitely the color to get for the Subaru STI!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yeah it is was going to get my wrx in that color but couldn't find any 😁
Oh wow! I don't see this color too often to be honest. What color did you go with?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed ice silver metallic which I see somewhat
@@AutomotiveAspects That's a great color for it as well!
I have been thinking about buying one of these this is going to moving to the top of the car list
The Subaru WRX is a fun sedan especially with the power from the STI! What do you have now?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed 10 speed bike😂
@@RyRy-wl9yk This will be a big upgrade! Definitely check one out to see how you like it!
I got mine 3 weeks ago. Car is a beast.
Nice, congrats!! Have fun with it!!
Better late than never. The next gen design is meh. Have fun
If I may... How.much?
ive got a 2019 with the black 19" wheels but i will say the 2020+ wheels have grown on me. wouldnt mind having a back up set to switch out
That would be cool to have a "track set" and a normal set, so when you want to have a little fun you can swap them out!
Yo trade me for my 21 wheels. I just feel like black 19wheels fit my car color lol
Glad to know they have an Automatic/Manual switch. Thankyou!
That's for the AWD system and different setting you can put it into! If you really want to dial it in for your driving!
Went from a 2010 sti hatch to a bran new 2018 brz RU and currently trading my brz in for 25grand trade in while ordered a 2021 wrx sti sport tech, brz was fun but nothing compared to STI back to the turbo club !
Oh wow! Yeah that's a big jump from the BRZ back to the STI! It's definitely a fun sedan!!
Yep yep! Got mine in February. Love it. It is not the fastest car in a straight line (very driver dependent). But, the smiles in the corners and the old school split second turbo lag is wonderful. Running Cobb AP on HWG 91 map and logs out great with 93 pump. A lot more torque 3k up. ;).
Cool! These cars handle really well and are definitely a ton of fun in the turns!
I bet tuned it's even better!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed
Yeah honestly for someone that wants a minor bump in power that will not strain the motor at all (as long as maintenance/solid fuel used/ non abuse) it is a no brainer. Torque gains are are huge benefit for normal driving. Cobb ots 91 or protune it stage 1.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed
Plus... Cobb AP gives you launch control and flat foot shift. Huge! 💪🏻🏁👊🏻
Thats a great feature!
Thats a great enhancement for sure then! Going too crazy with mods makes these very unreliable. So a simple tune sounds pretty good!
I just picked up my brand new 2021 STI limited on Monday. I traded in my 2019 STI base with 27,000 miles & got $31,500 trade in.
Did you order yours? If so, how long did you have to wait? I ordered a 21 sti base on March 25th. I heard subaru shut down production for the month of April due to microchip supply shortag so maybe It will still be a while.
Oh nice! How are you liking the changes with the car? Anything really stand out?
@@ianholmquist8492 I got my 2019 STI appraised on 4/12 at the subaru dealer for the 2021 STI limited was in transit so I put a deposit on it. I took delivery on 4/26.
@@moonman_8935 nice, sounds like a similar wait time across the board then. I was told that my car just arrived in Rhode Island yesterday.
Beautiful Sports Car.
It sure is! Can't go wrong with the Subaru blue!
Just sold my 2012 STi hatchback - considering this, a Type R, a GR Yaris or a Veloster N DCT.
Considering that since the VN PP isn't available locally in my country and I'd still have to import it, the price comes out to equal both my three other options. Any thoughts?
Type R is a great car! I'd go for that. It's a step above the Yaris and Veloster for sure. And no torque steer!
awesome bro
Oh yeah! Love this blue on the STI!
I love this
The STI is a fun sedan to drive!!
That will our first sports car to buy soon from Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Nice! Great choice!
I'm so excited to get an STi! Would you recommend it as a second car? Also I currently drive a 2014 Sport Auto Lancer, would you know if the STi feels similar to drive/handle if you've ever driven a regular Lancer before? Can't really test drive a WRX/STi until I get on my full licence which is in about 2 years, laws are strict here in Australia, NSW. Awesome review anyways, keep it up!
The WRX is a fun car for sure, as a second car, that's up to you if you can afford that and want two vehicles! They are going to handle completely different! I've been in the lancer before and it's just like a normal sedan, the STI has completely different handling characteristics and is a lot more sporty! Glad you enjoyed the review and hopefully that helps!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed cheers for the reply, helps a lot! You mentioning it handles completely different and more sporty has gotten me even more excited, haha.
I loved the old Black rims of the StI. the new one its looks like a corolla Sti
Yeah I'd like a solid color too for a sporty car like this. I can see some Corolla in it ;)
Oh nice! Great find on the used market
@silkawzzr600 350 each is pretty expensive for oem wheels.
Considering picking one of these up until the Cybertruck is ready? How is the resale on lightly used/stock ones?
These seem to hold value very well!
Bro, shout out to that left bicep vein 👌🏼💪🏼
Hahah! Gotta stay fit!
Im going to miss this model
I think a lot of people will!! I can't wait to check out the new one though to see if it's any better to drive, even though the design isn't there!
I wish i have one of those because of the 182 horsepower four cylinder boxer turbo engine and its made at the japaneese market. I wish someone can get one for my birthday
Subaru STI is a fun car!
My dream car...!
Keep working towards it!! The Subaru WRX is such a fun sedan and this was a sweet STI spec for sure!
Great video as always!
I appreciate that, glad you enjoyed the Subaru review! I always love getting to drive these!
i want one so bad. just got a full time job. here we go
Nice! Just keep working towards it! My friend was in the same position 3 years ago. And he bought one earlier in the year!
Would you choose a 21 Civic Type R or the STI or MX5 (Not the fastest but very light and super fun to drive) ?
Probably the Type R. It's a really fun car! Non are really my kind of car tho
sweet 🔥
Oh yeah!! It's always fun to drive the subies! Especially the STI!
I normally hate to see people put aftermarket rims on their car but I think it’s necessary on this car
I see a lot of comments of people saying that about this car. I actually like them
I just bought a Subaru WRX STI 2021 in September from the dealership and I am curious... Is it normal for the car to do a creaking nose when you steer all the way to the left or right while backing out of a parking spot or taking off in first gear. I just bought this car and it's interesting it would have a creaking noise as if the cv joints were already worn out or something when it's supposed to be a brand new car.
Hmm, could be that. Or maybe it's just normal sound since parts have to move. Could have dirt in there too
I’m looking at getting one of these. I currently have a stage-4 Focus ST. Wondering if I should wait till next year to get the new model. Love the wing but that looks like automatic car washes are a no go lol, which is annoying.
Yeah this would need a touches car wash for sure. But the brushes scratch up paint, so you shouldn't go in those anyways. I'm not too sure on the pricing for the new STI. But they will probably be a nice update. If you enjoy your car no harm in waiting until it's out
Just bought and drove home a 2021 sti. Managed to snag one of these new at msrp. All I can say is.. ive had about 20 cars and this car being the most fun overall
I just sold my 2017 FiST because I got nearly what I paid for it. Put it all towards a 2021 WR Blue Sti. Loving it!!!!!!!! Never run your car through an auto car wash-yikes!
@@tonyr1615 why?
Soon to be mine here in Philippines.✌️🤙🤘
Very cool! Keep working towards it!
I have a 2019 STI. I got an offer from Subaru for 2021 STI I couldn't refuse. The used car market is so hot right now, the amount of equity for the 2019 with almost 19k miles barely depreciated. Some notable differences for 2021 and mine are push to start, the center console head looks a lot more sturdy compared to mine which I am excited for. I believe the front vents are functional now for more cooling (yay). I learned manual on the 2019 and kept great care of it. I am sad to see it go to someone new, but so excited for the new car. I plan to modify it. One arguement people make is that they want to wait for the new motor. Why wait for potential flaws on the first gen motor when you can build your own with years of research and development in the aftermarket? It seems like a win to me, but to each their own! Great vid!
Nice upgrade! Car market is hot, so good job taking advantage of that!
Glad you enjoyed the video and like the new changes!
well said Christopher. I pulled the trigger on a 2021 Sti 2 weeks ago for the same reasons. 2019+ has the type RA engine upgrades too. IMHO, makes it a better "value"
Great video. Not a whole lot of differences even between the 2017 STI... kind of disappointing.
Yeah this is still the same as the current generation. Hopefully 2022 will be an all new car!
2019 they added a new block
Is this a base model or limited? I am curious if the base models come with those headlights too…
This is the base. If it wee Limited I would of had that in the title ;)
Damn. Wish I had and could afford a STi. Definitely the superior car vs the wrx.
It's a lot more fun I think than the WRX, my friend just bought one with 30k miles on it for a decent price! That video will be coming soon!
I got a 21 WRX in Pure Red with the Kicker Speaker Upgrade and the STI throw shifter and the Vortex Generator. Next is the exhaust system and some rays wheels
Awesome! Red is a great color for these! And an exhaust will sound amazing ;)
Great 👍 content bro
Appreciate it! Thanks for checking out the Subaru review!
Would you consider it as a family car? Obviously SUV are ideal but I like fast cars.
This could be a great option for a sedan if you want a sport car! Not the biggest thing out there. But still useful
Can make video on latest model of ferrari
I wish! We don't have much access to review Ferrari's but if we get the chance for sure!
The Toyota Yaris GR is a four wheel drive hot hatch. Toyota really should bring it to the United States.
This is manual only.
I've seen a few of the European UA-camr's buying that car! Seems like a cool little hot hatch for sure. We have the Corolla hatchback but no manual!
I think Toyota should make the Corolla GR with the same 1.6 litre three cylinder from the Yaris GR, with both the manual and the automatic. Four wheel drive for both.
It would be interesting to see if the US market gets any of those!
Is there any subtle difference between the 2020 and 2021 STI?
Not that I saw! I reviewed a 2020 as well and they seem very similar!
Great video bros 4 speed
Thanks 👍. It's a fun car to drive!
I want one soo bad
Make it happen! The STI is a really fun car!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I will man hopefully by the end of this year
I'm sure you'll make it happen!! Keep working towards it!
Just Sold my STI, had a 2020 and i loved it but the sad reality is it's just not a practical daily driver, loved the rumble but since covid hit i feel like it's gotten really stale, recently sold it and got a bmw 2 series and i love it!
and i'd probablly change up to the new sti with the newer motor, the rumble was cool and all but i feel like the new engine will be way better with its low end torque and better performing engine haha we'll see!
Why would you say it's not a practical daily? That's interesting to hear, from my perspective, any sedan is a practical vehicle with lots of space. The BMW 2 series is a sedan too! I can't wait to see the new changes Subaru has coming, hopefully they are good!
$42 grand?? Well I guess the Civic Type R is comparable- have you fellas reviewed the Charger RT? Idk Subies have always had great respect in the import world- Good review Mike!
You ain’t getting a type r for less then 60k
@@SaceedAbul you must be shopping in Dubai cause in Chicago they're $39k $43k topps
The Civic Type R is also front wheel drive, so not as sporty as the Subaru! You get a lot of torque steer in that if you try to tune it for more power! We haven't reviewed the RT yet, but did the Scat Pack wide body! ua-cam.com/video/6RV-dPQ0o7M/v-deo.html
I just found a 2017 with 48k miles for $34k! When the Civic Type R was new, dealers were marking them up to $60k which was ridiculous, but they aren't close to $60k anymore.
Yeah they aren't even close to $60k, new dealers were marking them up which was crazy to see!
I hate that they took the red backlight gauge ..... so iconic and beautiful looking for the sti
Red backlight looks so old and dingy in my option. I had that in a car and white is way better!
does it have adaptive cruise control, lane assist, blind spot detection, or any of those other features a lot of cars have standard now?
I just wish that most of the Subaru WRX and STi models to sti have the traditional twist key ignition. If it is alright to ask, is a WRX a good car to learn manual on please?
After daily driving a base wrx for the last 4 years I feel qualified to say that no, it is not. It was my 3rd MT car and by far the most difficult to get used to. My brother is learning to drive manual and he can drive most of them fine but not my wrx. And I struggled with it at first. Trading in for a 21 wrx sti. The sti trans is as easy and satisfying as the wrx trans is sloppy and annoying. Hope this helps. As far as best stock MT to learn on, I would recommend any Honda. The sti is great for sure and pretty bulletproof though could be a bit tricky starting out. I learned in a civic. Say what you like about honda, they do make an easy to drive manual. Definitely try before you buy though because everyone's preferences are a bit different.
You'd prefer the traditional turn key over push button? I like how it has keyless entry which you won't get with the turn key! Either way, the Subaru is a cool sedan!
I can see that somewhat. It's crazy to see how quick the bite point is on this clutch. I liked it and when I drove my R8 home after this, was weird to get used to that afterwards! I said it was easy because of how light feeling it was, but didn't really think about the bit point, I'm sure newbies would be stalling it quicker, but could still be a great car to learn on if a friend has one. But personal preference is a big factor for sure!!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yes indeed,, that's interesting as well.. the clutch and trans on the wrx sti is night and day better than the wrx. I test drove an sti and I instantly had to have it, mainly for that reason. You have an R8? Nice, those cars are amazing and sound beautiful.
@@ianholmquist8492 thank you for the tip! Will definitely test the car put first to see if I like it and if it is something I'd be comfortable with as well :)
Had to watch to see if I wanted one, nah I'll keep my 05 all day lol this is a Honda Accord Type R with a Subaru badge. Subaru dropped the ball after 2014.
lol. This is my favorite generation of these to be honest. The new one I'm not a fan of. Looks too 'Subaruy'
I will work hard to buy this car
Awesome! STI is a fun car!
That is nice.God. I think it's 27.01 in it.
It’s a cool Subaru!
They should make a dct version of the Sti
Yeah that'd be cool! I know they do a CVT for the WRX. Can't imagine how boring that would be to drive lol. But a DCT would be great!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed my car right now is a 2017 Ford Focus with the dct. It’s quick but not fast like the sti. (Non turbo) but it can go through all gears and pull real hard if done right.
would this make a good first car?
Sure! I don’t see why it wouldn’t.
Do you have to get the Recaro seats to get the red seatbelts?
I'm not sure about that, but I don't think I've seen an STI without the recaros. I didn't see the seatbelts as an option either so I think that's standard.
no
I thought those recarros weren’t optional but standard in the STi Ltd.?
They were around $4k I think on the window sticker so they were optional in this model. This wasn't a limited so maybe that's why.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed ah ok, no sunroof then. Yes, it is a option in that trim.
They omitted the intercooler sprayer this particular MY, you can see the blank button on the dash front panel. No bronze BBS wheels. I’m tempted but......I’m not committed. Maybe yes, maybe no for me.
@@johnnykwon8173 Yea it was missing a few things.
@@johnnykwon8173 Yea the bronze wheels really change the look in a good way!
Is Subaru still making the 2021 model? I just tried purchasing one but because the 2022 model just premiered they might of stopped production on these. I'm waiting for them to contact me about whether I can get one or not. I really hope I can because I do not like the 2022 model it's a horrible design and with cheap plastic all over.
I feel like production probably is about done. Not sure tho. Hopefully they get back with you soon! The 2022 looks like a Crosstrek with those flares. Not a fan either
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Subaru just got back to me and told me they were not able to create my customized 2021 because they were not producing them anymore due to the new 2022. Instead they gave me options of what's already coming to them (last ones). He told me he would reserve it for me to check it out, but it's not limited like I wanted it. I'll check it out, but i'm not totally convinced. Looks like Subaru will lose this customer for their failure to produce something good 2022. I'm gonna purchase a Toyota truck instead.
Does this year model have a type RA or s209 engine?
I'm not too sure. Some Subaru forums can probably help you with that
2019+ rec'd some of the type RA upgrades: new ecu tune, 3rd gear revision, a more free flowing exh sys, "upgraded" pistons, revised intake, & sodium filled exh valves.
Does this model still have the EJ Engine?
I'm not familiar enough with Subaru engines to know that specific
Me and my dad are trying to choose between this and a BMW m4. Problem is, M4 is twice the price and, living in utah, we wouldnt be able to drive in the winter much at all. Starting to lean towards this a lot more. Seems super fun and comfortable to drive. Also does very well in the winter.
The BMW M4 will be offered in AWD I believe at some point, but even with that, I think the Subaru would be a better option especially since it has a snow mode! Put on some snow tires during the winter and you have a pretty capable sedan!
May i know why you kept shifting from 4th gear to 6ix?
Because in a manual so can shift between whichever gears you choose! There’s no order in a manual. ua-cam.com/video/Vx6vgKPFugs/v-deo.html
@@BrosFOURRSpeed ok i thought there was a specific reason
The Subaru WRX looks alright
I think you have to get the WRX in a color to look good, red, blue or even white!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed ok I think the red would look good
That's a good color for it to!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I know right 😎
I’m thinking on getting it in my junior year in college but I’m afraid of insurance costs lmao.
As long as you have a good record, take the highest deductible and pay in full. It should t bee too much. But you're young, so that can only help so much.
David Spade reviewing cars now these days lol
Yup, that's my side hustle now!
I'm so sad because I can't see this car in my country🇵🇸 😢 because there's no one buying it and it's my dream car
Oh dang. Not available at all?
I’ve always liked the WRX STI. Seems like a fun car. But that rear wing is a little too much! Wish they’d lower it about five inches. It just looks way too high.
I've always like them too! Maybe a few inches lower, but it's high enough for visibility out of the rear view mirror which is nice!
Love everything but the rims
Yeah they aren't anything too special looking. A lot of people put aftermarket wheels on these anyways
I thought I hated the wheels too until I saw them in person. They look mean af
They really need to finally overhaul the STI.
Yep but as soon as they do everyone will complain and want this gen back.
@@ianholmquist8492 Then they should just go buy a used one, they're everywhere.
I could see that! I believe 2022 has some changes coming so we'll see!
Haha yeah, you can't win with what people want! A new design would probably look to modern for what the buyers of a Subaru want maybe!
That's a good point too! Maybe we'll see some changes!
So does the Sti only come in manual?
I believe so! The WRX has an automatic version. But I can't see why someone would want that. kills the fun I think
Why are you shifting from 4th to 6th
Why not? In a manual you can skip gears. I was at my cruising speed, no need to go into 5th just to go right into 6th. When you downshift you don't always go into consecutive gears. Beauty of a stick ;)
The more trouble I have finding a Type R at MSRP the more tempting and STI gets.
I've seen a good amount of Type R's in the $30k range!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed they're listed at that and you call only for them to add 5 to 10k. I kinda refuse to buy a used car at 30 k anyways. I'll give it a few more weeks amd probably just get an sti or go cheap for an accord sport
Whichever car makes the most sense for you! I don't think I could spend that much on a Type R when the competitors are AWD and that's just FWD. It's cool, but can't hang with the STI!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed agreed. Couldn’t see myself paying that much for a Honda.
@@JM00914 I'm sure it's good, but not performance oriented really.
Can’t beat my genesis coupe
The Genesis Coupe was a fun car for sure. We owned two of them back in the day. This is pretty on par tho in performance stock for stock. But with mods both car can get pretty quick
You’re soooo cool
Idk man you just look right in an STI
Haha yeah! It's a sweet sedan for sure! Love how you could fit the family and still have a fun car to drive around in!
hmm just bought a slightly beat up '17 WRX... think i'll pay it off fast & trade up to this. 2025 let's go! (i'll be 43 then omfing gahd)
Oh nice! Too bad the STI is discontinued. But a good used STI will still cost money in the future tho!
What engine break in period ?
Normally the 500 miles should be driven under 4k rpm. Like I did on the test drive. Then the next 500 I get a bit more aggressive. After that doesnt really matter
I plan on getting one early next year I already know the 2022 is going to be ugly and probably base msrp of 50k I currently have an Audi S3 but I’ve always wanted to get the STi it’s just always had that place in my heart and most people would think I’m a retard for going from an S3 to that but who cares
I'm sure the 2022's will be different, but they might not be! The Audi S3 is a great car and I wish Audi still offered manuals to compete with the Subaru and even BMW! The STI is fun too so you should enjoy it!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed they look like an Impreza from what I’ve seen I’m just not digging it but we’ll see once they reveal it I want to get a 2018-2021 they look more sharp than the 3 years prior
It'll be cool to see all the new 2022 models from everyone since 2021's kind of took a hit!
@10:57 great way to have massive clutch wear folks ~ push the clutch in before lifting off the gas (causes the over rev) pedal to change gears ;)
I pushed in the clutch before lifting off the gas. Still getting used to this clutch compared to my R8, but after a few miles I was getting comfortable with it!
dude you forgot the water spray for the intercooler?
The STI has a feature like that stock?
Nice review. Though non led turn signals front and rear just spells the economy car that it is.
It does help keep the cost down I guess! Lots of cars are coming with them now, so maybe we'll see that on the newer Subaru models!
I bought an STI in August, there's Def. tradeoffs. They dressed it up with suede and red stitching but it's a weird mashup of soft touch and cheap hard plastics everywhere, they put a plastic cover over where the key would go in the steering column and push to start is kinda tucked away behind the wheel in a sort of weird spot on the dash. Where you get the value out of it though is the brakes, the big turbo, limited slip front and rear differentials, suspension, quick steering ratio, light wheels etc.
22 mpg on the high way wow that terrible very few people will buy that in the uk....
Yeah it's not the best for a 4 cylinder car. But this car is about performance not mpg lol
Ford focus rs or sti?
STI. Focus has a bouncy suspension and feels way slower then the STI
For us who live in the real world, that's:
393Nm @ 4000rpm
1542kg
0-97km/h (0-100km/h) @ 4.5s
241km/h
60L fuel cap
6.8km/L - city
9.35km/L - highway
2.65m wheelbase
4.6m overall length
1.8m width
1.48m height
Real world? lol. The US is kinda the leader in the world and we use the figures I stated ;)
Nothing wrong with being different. Thanks for the conversions
The “real world” can’t afford an STi so why does it matter anyway? 😂
