      What’s good my dude, I have the same Crystal black Impreza and I have been searching the internet like crazy to find a way to upgrade the engine on her. Does Subaru still make a wrx in a hatchback form ?... I want to eventually upgrade to the wrx but I’ll be a little disappointed if I have to give up the hatch door.

    • @cannonballchuck320
      @cannonballchuck320 5 років тому

      Vinchinzo Wilson they don’t make turbo hatchback anymore, but the 2.0i is what they use in the wrx, so keep your current car and put a kit on it, it’d be way cheaper, and you know, keep the hatch.

    Great video Dom,
    I have a few questions for ya.
    Do you still own the car? if you do has it been reliable? and if you've had any issues can you tell me about it please. Reason being I am about to get one but I am in between the fence about it. I need something that I can drive till the wheels fall of as they say lol. Don't really know anyone with a subi so yea.

      I picked up an used 2021 manual sport hatchback in 22 (saved myself at least $7,000 from the dealership) and it has seemed like an very well built vehicle with no issues so far. Other than being underpowered no 6th gear, and no sun/moon roof, I have enjoyed the vehicle so much that, I keep accessorising it LoL......🏹🤠👍

  • @DDPWNAGE

    A couple notes on my Impreza since I’ve driven around 15k miles on it, unmodded, taking it to work and back:
    • Apple CarPlay screws with me too but I’ve always chalked it up to my case adapting Lightning to MicroUSB to be a portable battery. Found best way to remedy was to lay the phone down by the front cigarette outlet. My work Samsung Galaxy S10 doesn’t have this issue with Android Auto. I also run an iOS 13.1 beta with my iPhone X.
    • I have a Premium Impreza Sedan, which is automatic. I get around 34 mpg with a combination of highway and city driving. I also feel like the automatic is tuned to feel more like a manual so it’s jumpy at times.
    Kinda like the rain visor, gold stars, and the light color change, but I’d also need to know where to get these parts and how to install them

  • @theamazinggoldfish8713
    @theamazinggoldfish8713 Рік тому +1

    I never push my impreza past 3.5rpm before up shifting, and usually try to run it at 2.5 Rpm; whilst down shifting at 2Rpm. Still adjusting to the revhang 🤣. Seems to work best totally letting off the gas, clutch, shift, off clutch, and slowly back on the gas. I almost never down shift (due to clutch wear) but pull it out of gear and let it drift down. Is this the same way you shift your Impreza?

    @souaXP 5 років тому +4

    2018 Sub Impreza Hatch Sport.... Haven't had any issues yet but definitely not close to 10k miles yet either. Only thing so far would be the dust on the middle dashboard. Its not that big of a deal or not at all but I actually like that it has a flat surface so I can put stuff like gps, bobble head, or any other mounting devices etc. in the future. Keep doing what you do, I enjoyed all your videos because not alot of 2018 impreza mod videos out there and you done a good job with good quality.

  • @TheEric26009
    @TheEric26009 5 років тому

    Also have a 2018 Impreza hatch with about 7k miles. I have all sorts of rattles coming from the head unit, vents, and who knows where else from. Dust issue as well, but at least it’s easy to wipe down. My only big issue is that my wiper cowl cover has separated from the windshield, so I have this gap where water and debris can fall into, anyone else have this issue? I’ve had the part replaced under warranty, but the issue is still the same..

  • @skzzy8192

    Hey Dom, 2017 Impreza here.
    The center console USB plugs are specifically to be used for music. Not sure if you've noticed, but the charge is also much slower than a normal charge you'd get elsewhere. All-in-all, It's very misleading.
    Instead, you'd have to buy a cigarette charger, or buy a cigarettes USB charger to throw in your lightning cable for your iPhone.
    Regarding the ACP, you may have to go in for an update. There is an active thread in the 5th Gen Impreza forum on this situation.

    • @s1lv3rbull37
      @s1lv3rbull37 3 роки тому

      Sadly, not entirely. The 2012 to 2021 USDM Imprezas use the FB20 (2012 to 2016 use the less powerful FB20B, and 2017-2021 use the FB20X.) I haven't seen many noteworthy people turbocharge the FB, but the FA is used in the WRX. I hope to see someone push the FB20 platform to its limit, but that's probably not gonna happen any time soon

  • @jamessimonds4458

    We have a 2018 base Subaru Impreza. It needs has 71,000 miles on it. TROUBLE FREE. There are a couple of items that I don’t like, and many things that I do like. Don’t like. Start with the very weak engine. This car needs more zip. The competition will walk all over this car. Subaru should at minimum, is offer at least the 2.5 engine. 30 more horses would do wonders for this car. The second item is, get rid of those very stupid steel wheels with hubcaps. We lost 13 hub caps. We finally replaced the the steel wheels and bought some very nice aftermarket black wheels. Because the car is a base model, it comes standard with many black trim items, such as the mirrors. And the black wheels make this car look amazing. We replaced our tires at 60 thousand miles. And we put exactly the same continental tires that came in the car. We service this car every 6,000 miles. The owners manual states to replace the spark plugs at 60,000 miles. It is labor intensive, because of the engine is a boxer style engine. The dealer wants to charge 800 dollars for the 60, 000 mile service. Because of that expensive service, I chose to go to an independent shop that charged me 100 dollars. Is, just to let you know. I still own this 2018 Impreza. But now, I also own a 2022 Impreza. And what we did this time around, is we purchased a premium trim. With this car. We got wheels. We don’t have to worry about losing hub caps. But we STILL have this gutless little 2.0 engine. We are very loyal customers of Subaru. We also own a 2020 premium trim Forester. And all three of our Subarus, are trouble free.

  • @rhynnoh1991
    @rhynnoh1991 5 років тому +2

    Yeah I've got a 2017 Impreza Premium, I've got some similar issues. I've got a rattling/popping sound above my head where the dome lights are. It's infuriating sometimes. I've put out a bounty of $100 to anybody who is riding in my car and can permanently fix it.
    The black part of my dashboard also gets pretty dusty, but it doesn't bother me too much.
    Your apple carplay shouldn't be skipping songs when you go over a bump- it doesn't do that with mine. If you've got a buddy who also has Apple Carplay, see if their phone also skips music while it's in your car. It might be a problem with just your phone or something, idk. One thing that really, really bothers me about the infotainment system is that- for some reason- whenever you start the car, it plays the radio, regardless of whether or not you were listening to the radio the last time you used the car. And, because the infotainment screen takes a moment to boot up, I can't turn it off or turn the volume down until it is finished booting up. So I have to sit for ~5 seconds listening to static playing through my speakers at like ~33-35 on the volume knob. Additionally, whenever I'm listening to my music via Apple Carplay, and I unplug my phone, it decides to start blasting whatever other audio input I was listening to before CarPlay- which is always the radio.
    So if I ever am listening to music via my phone, and then I need to unplug my phone or if I bump the charger enough that it unplugs, I just hear the radio blasting static at the same volume that I was jamming out to my own music at. I don't know who at subaru thought "Hey, when someone unplugs their phone, you know what they want to happen? They want to hear static blasting through their speakers."
    Honestly I'd take it into the dealership and ask them if they've seen any problems like that before. It might be a common issue. And if they don't have a solution, it's at least nice to get your complaints heard.
    Do your brakes squeak? I'm only at 20k miles after just under a year of ownership, and my breaks already squeak, and I've got plenty of pad still. I think that subaru just threw on some budget hybrid brake pads, and so they squeak.

    • @DomFillari

    I drive the exact same car just a different color and have a muffler delete and 2007 legacy wheels love the look, and also don’t have the squeaking in the dash I have it in the suspension though and don’t have the skipping problem with music, has about 19k miles and I recommend for car guys and family guys, you can make this car fast, and family guys you can make the car look good and for having one of he safest cars out there for cheap and be able to comfortably hold your family in it I highly recommend and another thing oil consumption is a problem for the first 2-3 oil changes but shouldn’t have that problem after that. If you do have consumption problems your probably driving it over 4-5k rpms to much.

    Cool mods bro, I drive a base model 2018 with a manual also. Mine constantly gets super dusty also, my theory is all the electronic wizardry=some sort of static cling effect with the dust collecting so quickly after i clean it. My favorite adjustment (can't really call it a mod) is that i turned off the hill assist. Annoying light on the dash but sooo much more pleasant to drive now. And what the eff with the squeaking dashboard in my brand new car!? I keep meaning to mention it to the dealer.

    Hey Dom, just discovered your channel and I'm glad I found someone who has the same car as me and shows their mods. I agree they do get dusty and there is a squeak. My squeak sounded like it was coming from my roof light though rather than my dash- I haven't heard it in a couple of months though so I think its gone. My apple play doesn't skip on bumps though. Nice vids keep them coming man.
