RS IV 😂
RS IV I was thinking the exact same thing hahahahaha

As a previous WRX owner, just a word to all the haters.... If you're looking for Looks, get a BRZ or Challenger. If you're looking for horsepower, get a Mustang or used Corvette. If you're looking for a truly complete all around quick, AWD, quality, rare and fun car, get a WRX. Its not for show, its not for Wow's or Ahhh's, its not to rev loudly at a car show just to get people to look at you.......its to enjoy outside the norm.
4ME2DRV Subaru cars are special, and they are for special people, I agree with u , and I love my Wrx :)
+4ME2DRV only imports;)
Ahem... Mitsubishi evo
Up north wrx’s are so common that it’s not even special
I know how bad you wanted to review this car, congrats!
Once again looks like you are having a blast!
Tj Hunt who knew 4 years later you would have more subscribers then him crazy man!! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS BRO WATCH THEM EVERY TIME YOU POST!!!😎👌
Love your vids TJ
It's really Subaru Americas lose, if they still won't support your work after this video. Congratulations on another outstanding review, Matt !
***** The guy whose video you're watching...
gatawayer you do a subaru sti review it be good to see that .;-)
With the kind of views he's getting on UA-cam he can make a living, with the right partnership network.
You want Subaru to give him money? To review their products? What do you think that would do for impartiality? UA-camr get money through third party advertisements, as it should be.
opmike343 : Not, I want them to invite subaruwrxfan to their launch events and to give him a long term testcar ! He has given them so much press for free with all his reviews, over 60 weekly updates about the BRZ ownership experience and apart from that : He really likes their cars. So that's why I think they should take notice and supply testcars :)
Am I the only person extremely distracted by the people anxiously waiting in the background? Are those the owner of the car haha?
+miguel gonzalez Venom hoodie, lol
I personally love the way this car looks. I don't get why other people say it looks ugly. This is an amazing car good review to.
They don't like the look because it doesn't have a 15 foot spoiler and it's not a hatch. Also, they can't afford it so they hate it.
***** Nah, that's not why. No previous WRX has had a rear wing of any mentionable size to my knowledge, and the cars themselves are like a poor man's sports car (that's by no means taking anything from the car, it's nice that it's cheap). It's an easily attainable vehicle if you have a job that pays more than minimum wage, lol.
It's just the worst looking generation of Impreza since the bugeye, in my own opinion. Simple as that.
@whorax what do you drive?
Rodrigo Ibarra An E46 BMW. Not sure what that has to do with my opinions of how a car looks though.
Whorax I agree, I'm not a fan of this body style.
big thanks to subaruwrxfan for helping me and thousands of others find the right car. I love his enthusiasm and it really makes you feel like you're in the car with him. I've probably watched this video hundreds of times and now that I have my 2015 WRX, I can see just what he was giggling at the entire time :)
Shout out to random guy in sweater texting in background!
Ive been a WRX fan for a while, id always go test drive them but never owned one, after driving the 15 WRX i fell in love and bought it on the spot. It is the most fun car ive ever drove and is the perfect daily driver, it has perfect interior and ive been averaging around 26mpg and i drive very aggressively. All i gotta say is pictures dont do the car justice and my hat goes off to subaru
I dont know why and how, you got the idea, you make car reviews, but that was the best idea in your life! You born this way! Thank you for the vid!
I just traded in my 2012 WRX for a 2015 WRX and it's a huge improvement! The handling and overall quality is just awesome!
psychofunksoldier02 Congrats .Yes it is indeed a big improvement in all areas indeed ! I had a 2014 Rex and upgraded myself last october. Loving it .
Grinning like a kid on Christmas morning through the entire video lol
For some reason, I feel like Matt did really well on the SAT/ACT.
What about PSAT?
I like this guy's genuine enthusiasm. It's okay to get that excited...hell, I would be too!
the way you move your hand really shows that you're so excited with the wrx! nice review matt.
You couldn't even contain yourself you were so exited! Hahaha, awesome man!
holy this guy is really hyped about reviews.
i justed liked the video right after you smiled and giggled from the acceleration. thats THE BEST THING I LOOK FOWARD TO SEEING in your reviews man
I was dying for this review!!! Thanks!!! The body is growing on me. If I try to get one next yr when my current lease is up I could dress it up to make it even more appealing for my taste!!! The interior where YOU SPEND THE MOST TIME is IMPORTANT and the 2015 delivered BIG TIME!! Im gonna watch this again... Lol
Looks like a refined '05. Finally headed back in the right direction, Subaru. I can't believe price is in the mid 20's but if it is I"m getting one.
45-50k. www.subaru.com.au/wrx-and-wrx-sti/specs
This one is 26,000, plus tax about 29,000. That's the price My 14' said.
vmeisterkun Yeah... No. That's STi pricing.
Hunter W The STi is around $36-37
Hunter W I'm quoting Australian prices? did you look at the link I posted? It said 48k WRX premium. Correct me if I'm wrong, Im not very good with these prices in variants.
I stayed up all night for this vid!!
MASSIVE - love that you got one of these to reviews!!
love your reviews man I've been looking to buy a new car of my own and you have helped me out during the process! big thumbs up to you bro!
i hated this car, then i was 'meh' about it, now im starting to like it!
Once you drive/buy I; you'll fall in love with it!
I think the progressiveness of the FA20 DIT engine is the advantage vs. the old EJ25. The lack of turbo lag & noise suppression is on another level. I still believe Subaru made a mistake for not putting the FA20 (or a possible FA25) for the STI.
However, for ~$30k fun & practicality considered, the WRX is a good choice. I actually prefer the new WRX > STI. This WRX feels like a complete revamp, whereas the STI is the same old mechanicals underneath a freshened body.
This is FANTASTIC Matt!! Thank you so much for the review!! Thinking about buying and tuning this car already lol
Great review as always, sorry it took me so long to see it but I'm glad I was finally able to, it was great
Call me crazy. But this WRX is the best looking one so far
I agree i dont like none of the old wrx or sti these new ones are the shit!!
+wils_ wrx yeah I was going to buy a 2011 Sti for cheaper but I liked the way the 2015 looked so much that i went with that instead.
They do, I got one
alonso96ification I agree
wils_ wrx all the wrx/Sti’s are the shit besides 2008-2013
Didn't much care for this car initially but this video changed my mind.
Picking mine up in about a week I can't wait! Great review Matt yet again!
Best part about your review is seeing your excitement about this new WRX. Nicely done.
I love mine and I'm glad that you love it to! Seeing your excitement in this video was funny and awesome and it's exactly how I feel when I drive my car. I feel like a little girl and smile widely all the time and can't help but think that people are staring at me like I'm some sort of weirdo in a blue subaru haha.
I bought one two weeks ago after driving my '86 325e for the past 5 years. I will miss my E30. But this car is a BLAST.
That's awesome!! I'm looking to get mine in the next few months. A BMW is great but too hear you say the WRX is a blast is even better to hear. Enjoy your ride man. I'll be rolling in mine soon wish me luck.
Good luck and many, many fun twisties to you in the future!
neemguy81
Did you get the WRX or STI? I've had my sights set on an STI for years now but this WRX has been improved so much that I'm kind of gearing towards that instead. It's gonna be a daily driven car that will see some track time. Not a lot though. And for the price difference I'm thinking WRX. I'm stuck.
I bought the regular WRX. I didn't even test drive the STi cause I didn't want something that would draw too much attention. And the cost. The daily driver ride in this is stiff but fairly comfortable, and the low-high rpm powerband is outstanding. I wouldn't get the limited because you may slide out of the leather seats on some twisty road. This thing stays FLAT on the curves and inspires confidence accelerating out of them. I got the cloth seat Premium with HarmonKardon/nav system. Basically there is no need to mod this car until the warrenty/payments are done. It simply is awesome.
I'm aiming to hit at least 350 whp. I want something quick. But I'm not talking trying to pull some ridiculous power numbers out of it. I'm pretty sure the WRX would be able to handle it. Plus I won't be buying for another year or 2. Gonna chunk down my current car payment and save up some cash first so I can have a lower payment so by then I'll have a better idea of the aftermarket support for it.
But from what everyone is saying, if you aren't looking for a straight up race car and want something to drive daily it's probably better to get the WRX.
Being a PSU alum, I couldn't help but notice that this was filmed outside beaver stadium and in the state college area.
The review was great as always. I like how the car looks when it's rolling.
Were those your friends back there, very distracting lol. Awesome vid dude.
The seats are not wide, you are just narrow.
Your enthusiasm is catchy, cool reviews!
thanks for the review. intros are nice. can't wait for the 15' sti review!
I WILL own a 2015 WRX. I am too excited to own the beast.
yes!
check out my channel on all the cool stuff you can do to this SUBIE!
I like the red!
Did you cop
so much better than any previous WRX in my honest opinion. So what if it looks like an evo? the evo has always been better looking. lol
What a nice and funny day for you Matt you've pushed that wrx a little bit this new model is a big improving for the Impreza. Can't wait for your new updates of tomorrow.
After seeing his 2022 Review on the WRX I came to check this one out to see the difference in his enthusiasm and tone. It’s night and day.
Loved it! and you pretty much nailed what every other car channel has said about this. So when is the STI coming?
The sti is already here
jswanization he was talking about the sti review
I saw one at cars & coffee last week..that wing is super nice on it! lol
I HATE he ass end of the 2015 sti
Nothing tops the GC8s for looks. Its the most Subaru car ever made by Subaru.
Great review matt! I seriously want one now. I wasnt really a fan of this new wrx but your review showed all the good points of the car. Keep up the good work!
I love your reactions when you turn on the backroads! 😆👍🏽
subaruwrxfan... buys a mustang... this car obviously makes you smile bigger why didn't you get this instead?
Hmm, yeah can't stand that crap, i considered subscribing but then i saw the mustang purchase video. Nothing against mustang but it rubbed me the wrong way.
dude are you kidding me with the interior being the same level as a CIVIC SI? CMON MAN dont be afraid to tell the truth
He said the one display in the middle of the dash was similar
i like this guys enthusiasm. Breath of fresh air in car reviews
This dude is in love with this car. You could honestly see it in his face and the way that he talks about it that he wants one.
As much as you are a WRX fan, why the choice to buy a mustang instead?
review Benz Cla45 AMG plz
Great review. I like that it is a little more grown up. I keep trying to talk myself out of one and it is getting tougher to do. Great review as always
I'm so sure I want to trade my 2013 vw gli for the sti I want u to get your hands on it!! Your excitement really shows in this review and man I got excited too! Greatest review yet!
I miss the old boxer rumble :/
Love Subaru!
This is a really nice car! You were also extremely excited as we saw. I mean it was probably the equal excitement if not more than when you got your BRZ.
Awesome review bro. I traded in my wr blue 2013 for a red Premium 2015 Subaru WRX . Test drove it once and felt in love my first wrx
7:40 came in his pants
Sorry but I prefer the wagons over coupe any day...
penis
This is a sedan and not a coupe. I also like the Hatchbacks but the sedan is not bad either.
I prefer coupe's the most (22B). The hatches are ugly as shit, but that's just my opinion, and this is definitely a Sedan. I'm glad they did away with the hatch because I won't have the same trouble I had finding a Sedan with everyhting I wanted like I did on my 2014.. Everywhere i looked had 9 hatches on the lot and no Sedans.
Jacob Kirkbride Hatchbacks are definitely ugly as shit. Well said sir.
The hatchback from 2008 and after is one of the ugliest versions ever made. I don't understand why people call this 2015 car ugly and yet pine after the hatchback as if it's a looker.
What I really don't understand are Subaru fans in general. I remember when the bugeye was lambasted for it's ridiculous appearance and now it's one of the most-loved styles in Subie's lineup. I guarantee in a few years this will find it's way into the hearts of Subaru fans. Reviews are showing that it's at least a better ENGINEERED car than it's predecessors.
Thank you for doing this review! Best review of this car that I've seen!
Im not sure if this is filmed b4 the previous brz update video but i do see your brz there. Hope everything is going good with the economic situations and awesome review! I did not expect for you to get your hands on the new wrx this quick.
I have mixed feelings for the new wrx love how Subaru finally gave it a full update I do miss the hatchback. However I'm not liking the idea of offering a CVT in the wrx. Great review Matt
y? you just simply dont have to get the cvt version
Idk it just seems weird. Don't get wrong cvt's are great for fuel saving but they love to wine a lot lol. who know's maybe the cvt will be good in the wrx hell the lancer rally art has a dsg in it totally different from a cvt i know but it's still a success
Thomas Devito Well from a business standpoint, if you have the tech already developed, you may as well offer it in as many cars as you can to try to get as many buyers as possible. It'd be different if they went CVT only.
GritsNDesu Very true
Thomas Devito The CVT is the best non DCT I've ever driven. Most automatics shift very slow even when driving in the manual mode. CVT is the only automatic I'd get
9:52 it's really IMPREZive.
It's not an Impreza anymore. Just a WRX.
MaxFlare oh yeah /:
Now they need to throw that turbo into the BRZ and it would be a monster! Nice review as always, I was really looking forward to this!
oh so thats Alex and Jul at 2:29...lol Great review man!
11:15 I see some fingers ;)
I don't like how the car looks even if it's a performance car, it doesn't look sporty. I hate how some of the best looking sporty cars look so bulky with their modern counterparts.
best wrx 2015 review ever, good work!
Every time I watch a car review I always just see people bitching about the negatives of the car, and never looking at the positives. It amazes me honestly... In regards to the 2015 WRX I really like it. I find the seat in the WRX far more comfortable than in the BRZ. I'm a bigger man so the larger seat is perfect. Where as on the BRZ it was actually uncomfortable. Great review Matt!
Ugh, the back looks like an ecobox economy car...
Probably because the Impreza is an ecobox economy car?
It's in the same category (compact car) as the civic.
So you're saying the back looks like an Impreza just like every other WRX ever made? That's intense!
I think it looks amazing.
quad tail pipes & wide body and fat tires... not really
Jared Tate Looking straight on it's not that bad, it's mostly the roofline that gets to me, especially from the front 3/4 view.
When you fart in one it stays for hours
Wtf
+LickMiblls ????
LOL
Well thats a deal breaker I fart a lot
The more I see this car, the more I want to buy it. Thanks for sharing this very informative video overview on the WRX. Looks good in red btw.
You can't beat Matt's reaction when he floors it
Butt hurt previous model owners get over it, this is just a nicer looking and better car. I personaly wish they made a hatch first . This already doing better in sales. Old one was cool but ugly as sin, with a shitty chassis and crappy interior. This is sweet and it looks naturally muscular and not Ricey.
There's the truth of it. Looks are subjective, but you can't argue that the motor is better along with the chassis and interior. Plus it costs the same as the 2014! The only real reason to have a 2014 is if you want a hatchback.
ws6guy02 But the 370z... (hatch/fast back)
This car looks like crap. Reminds me of a Civic or something. I like the previous generations more. Hell, I might be able to say I like the looks of the bugeye more than this.
what do you drive
jay czyzyk An E46 BMW 328Ci. Not like it should matter what I drive even if I did drive a junker, seeing as how good a car looks has nothing to do with the vehicle I use on a daily basis.
testdrive before you comment to get accurate feedback its all about performance
jay czyzyk You're an idiot. When in my comments did I say ANYTHING about the WRX's performance?
I don't need to test drive a car to give feedback on it's looks. I'll never buy a Subaru that looks bad like this one. I'd take a last generation WRX/STi with lower performance figures that actually looks like an awesome car over this thing that looks absolutely dreadful.
Your argument is completely invalid.
you need to analyze a car in its engineering point of view and trst drive in order to full y conclude
Wanted to let you know that you caused me to buy one of these. A blue Premium! Thanks man!
when you rolled out of the dealership and i saw the smile i already got what i was looking for in this car.
I don't care if the Honda SI has a BMW M4s interior, the performance sucks. It is a windy little go-gart. Good luck getting stuck in 2'' of snow.
*****
It is too windy and weak. Looks nice, drives good enough but not for the Northeast U.S. or other places where it snows or rains all the time. But, the prices are good, and they are in fact reliable, plus customer service is awesome. 05 STIs are going for what 2009-2011 SIs are. Perfect commuter car, terrible car for the enthusiast. Just my take.
***** video or it didn't happen
Hans Blitz I have a 2008 Civic and live in Quebec and I've never got stuck in snow. It's surprisingly very good in snow situations, no problems driving it in one feet of snow. Good tires will do wonders. Don't know about the SI. One thing is certain, I would never buy a SI, way more interesting vehicules for 30k then a buffed up Civic.
David B
In "ONE FOOT" You mean after it is plowed I hope.
AWD is just superior for that, but then again no AWD is going to get 36mpg on the highway either.
But yes, $30k is just too damn much. It is too much for any FWD 4 banger without a turbo.
*****
That is pretty damn good. The 09 I had wouldn't do that, highway was okay, around 26mpg, almost as advertized, but city driving sucked, it was definitely less than the advertised 20mpg. I didn't give a damn though, that sound was better than any boring fwd gas sipper.
Its to small, looks like a cheap small car. Has no defining character, car can be mistaken by an entry level hyundai or kia.
I agree. I myself am a big wrx/Sti fan and own a 2014 wrx. Very disappointed in subaru for this. And I am so glad, I bought mine before this one came out.
Well lets face it there are no WRX's that don't fit that statement... They are all small cars with cheap interiors. I have a 2014 WRX Premium which is the most aggressive all around body style and let's face it to everybody else it looks like an Elantra with a a hood scoop, because people who don't know cars don't know cars. Everyone likes to say this car looks bad and the old ones are better.... The old ones looked a lot more plain and basic. Until the 2011 and up. I hated these at first but now I get it. I really like them, I still prefer my 2014 because of the unequal length headers and the older style bucket seats. But this is by far the best WRX so far as far as performance and handling, which is why you buy the car... Not because it has certain headlights.
98-07 > 08+. How fucking huge do you guys like cars? Good lord.
Jacob Kirkbride Same here, when i first saw the 2015 i was so disappointed. But the more of it i see, the more i like it. and the more i hear about the specs the easier it is to get over the way it looks. Can't wait to finish paying off my 05 so i can get rid of it and pick up one of these.
Clezzykrunk liking something is subjective. 98-07 are all plain jane clean lines with a little hood scoop. Less performance and lower quality interiors. Is there a certain nostalgia towards them? Hell yeah. Are they classic and cool yes. But I would never trade my 2014 for a bug eye or a blob eye or a hawk eye or anything worth less money with less performance with cheaper interior. The thing about liking cars is that you can like whatever you want for whatever reasons you want. I'd buy an old one to actually rallycross or autocross with but that would be it. I see somebody with one I wave and I appreciate it. But it's not a better car.
I enjoy your enthusiasm. Great review, nicely done!
I've been subscribed to your channel for about 2 years now and wow.. your videos have improved alot. But I'd say slow down a bit and get more into the point at the intro right after the cool video/car/music edit. just my 2cents. Hope you make it to another level in this review thing.
This car is extremely ugly
Good review...i can tell u are very excited to drive this wrx...
The best part of this video is the complete joy when driving this car.
that center display with the digital gauges is AMAZING
Great review! The reason why I bought my wrx to begin with. Im in love with my 15' and I do videos on the car now! :)
Nice going Matty! Hope to hear from you soon lad, and I hope everything is going well with you!
Very exciting review. Great! Keep it up man
LOL your face man! you r in love with that beast!! keep it up bro!!!
drove a 2015 WRX yesterday. incredible. they are trying to make me a super deal on it as it's a 2015 and they are trying to clear it out for all the 2016s. going back Friday to close the deal. I've had a Porsche 944T , Mustang GT, and golf GTI over the years.. this car impressed me . I was at Subaru to test drive the Outbacks, but looks like I'm going to end up with a WRX. hahahahaha!! nice review.
Awesome review dude
I got my 15' WRX last week and it's really fun to drive!
I really cant wait to get mine!! 1 more month it'll be here.
haha i love how excited you are in the beginning
i am huge fan of your videos,nice review,i like the emotion you pass when accelerate the car,its funny,i do this in my videos too,thanks,you are an inspiration for me,please,keep doing this,take care.
Great Video Review of the New Subaru WRX. Awesome detail and gave us a total scope of the car. I am saving up to get this car. I love the innovation and the detail they have really done to make this car get a real "BOOST" into the current gen.
Love it! Thanks for the review bud!
