@@tomgogal5379 Hi Tom great to hear, lol i have been think of an exaust cat back also and im still waiting for my car to arrive, but it should land here in OZ by the end of August.

The yellow brake parts are called calipers. Order your brake parts direct from Brembo. If you replace the pads before it's needed, and your rotors haven't experienced any hard stops (Warping and heat spots) - you can just pad slap it. All four pads were only $90 TOTAL direct from Brembo.
When i bought my 2019 Sti BS aside, I didn’t even test drive it. SALES PERSON- “Don’t you want to test drive?? ME- “For what?? I already knew what i wanted when i came in here, i wasn’t just gonna test drive it!” SALES PERSON- “Your crazy”!

I didn’t test drive mine either 😂 I had driven my friends once and That was it. Placed a deposit on mine when it was still in transit. Was the only one to ever drive the car
That's funny, I also walked in saw they just dropped a brand new 2021 sti of the truck they had to pdi it so it had 4 miles on it, all I did was make sure there wasn't any damage from transportation, it all checked out perfectly, as I was signing the paperwork another few people came to ask to try and buy it but the salesman had to go tell em it's sold and to quit trying to touch it 😂
I just picked mine up this December as a Christmas gift to myself for all the hard I’ve done. Been a dream car of mine for the past twenty years since my high school days and playing gran tourismo. I remember playing the Wrc rally car all the time. It’s a weekend ride me and I baby the hell out of the car.
I bought my 2017 sti brand new. Didn’t have to test drive it coz I am so excited! 30,000 miles later, With zero issues, I am still inlove with it as the first time I drove it out of the dealership parking lot. You don’t even have to subscribe to satellite radio because the rumble sound itself is music to your ears!
I bought a 2021 Subaru wrx limited , after 2 months i traded it in for a 2021 Subaru Sti limited. Best decision I’ve made. If anyone is reading this just get a STI and don’t settler for a wrx.
I recently got a new 2020 WRX from the dealer not knowing how to drive manual. That same day about an hour before heading to the dealer I drove my friends old manual car just so I can drive off the lot in my new car. That’s how determined I was to get this. Cool vid btw.
I've been looking at STIs lately, there isn't anything in the market for four door sports sedans, and i love the practicality of them. especially because it is one of the few sedan sports cars that come in a manual
I owned 2006 hawkeye... and a 2006 Evo IX MR back when I was in my 20's... Sold it because I couldn't afford the gas mileage and exhaust drone gets tiring on the highway. In my upper 30's now. Your vids make me want to come out of my responsible adult Honda CRV and come back to a manual turbo 4 banger as a weekend toy again...
Traded in my WRX two years ago for the Ascent; I’m itching to get back into a manual and want the STI thanks for sharing your thoughts, I appreciated the comparisons to the WRX.
Why did you trade in the first place? Wondering because I'm going back and forth between getting a new civic or new wrx (base model would only be about $5k more). I'm afraid the wrx will be too impractical, although I have short commutes without much traffic.

I'm picking up my 2021 STI tomorrow in metallic grey. Thanks for your insight on your experience with yours, bro!

This is a really great video and a really beautiful car I have a 2018 sti, all black, however to do my brakes is very cheap since I get them done myself
Honestly I wanted to be blown away when driving the STI compared to my 2020 WRX and I wasn't. 8k is a lot of money extra and I wanted to leave saying wow this is lightyears above beyond my car and it wasn't. It was very good don't get me wrong but that 8k I wanted to be blown away. I think 100 hp is a good standard. My last car was a Mazda 3 at 155 hp making a jump of over 100 hp was a moment I said yes this is amazing. So I think when the new STI comes out if it's 100 over the WRX it's time to upgrade.
Found this channel down the rabbit hole. I agree that gas mileage on the sti is unpractical if you like daily driving. I work 6 days a week and I don’t think 20 miles a gallon is gonna work for me in the city.
Ok just sold my STI at 10K and got the performance Tesla model 3.... No brakes No maintenance No more premium gas 15k back from state Autopilot Fastest thing on the street Get the model 3 performance. I promise you will thank me. All love Serg!
Teslas are super cool, don't get me wrong. And they are fast as hell. I was told by a Tesla owner that the warranty is void if he changes so much as a tire by himself. Is that true?
@@moonman_8935 Great comment! I'm considering picking up a 2020 STI and the resale value just sold me on definitely getting it. I dont plan on keeping her more than 3 years max.
Hi! I’ve seen that you have got an Advan Sport’s tires on your Subaru. You said that you love drive your STI and I would suggest you to try the Advan Fleva V107 that are to much better than the sport! I always drive my 17’ STI on mountain roads and these tires (245/40/18 97y) are feeling amazing! Have a nice day mate! Cheers Alex 🥂
That’s exactly my goal with my videos. I’m no car expert. I’m an enthusiast but not a mechanic. At the end of the day just a person who likes cars and want to share my honest thoughts
I'm here to and just got my 21 STi, breaking her in was difficult, but after the nuance of understanding how she was telling me it's like violent silk on the road 😍
Nah, I had both too. I think the stock STI is more friendly to drive than the stock WRX because of shifting IMO. They ride almost the same. I don't feel a difference. The transmission and the steering is superior to the WRX.
I’m 24, I’ve been into bikes my whole life never owned and a fast car only had 2020 R1, just picked up a 2018 wrx sti with 58000miles, i absolutely love it and it’s sporty enough for me, I was wondering if you think that’s a lot of miles or do I have a lot more room for more miles?
My 2019 sti limited is at 15.3k miles now and well....gas mileage freaking sucks, factory Subaru sti map sucks Rev hang 😑 but with a good custom pro/dyno tune, it'll be a solid clean runner.
@@will3362 rev hang just a bit then drops, factory down pipe, header only an AEM intake and a Tomei Expreme Ti catback installed, although I do have the Tomei ELH, Invidia Catless Down Pipe, IAG AOS v3, GDT mod and a GrimmSpeed FMIC with the support bar not installed yet.
Hey fellas I need some advice here. For someone who has no mechanical knowledge on cars. Is it a dumb move wanting an sti? Are these cars high high maintenance and should I stick to FA platform for reliability... please let me know as im still very young, don't have much money to support things if a motor blows on me.
Wheel/tire specs? Rear control arms? Alignment specs? I lowered mine .75” on 9.5 + 38. 265 tires rubbed on bumper clip, went down to 245, but wonder if I could have gotten away with 255’s
Does your STI have a engine heater function or something similar to get the car started when the temperature get really low? Where I live it can get really cold so it would be cool to know small stuff like that.
Do you feel like you can do long road trips in your STI with no problems? Like comfortably? My wrx has been good and I like to do long road trips. I just want to make sure the STI is okay with doing long trips too
Hey Sergi, you get a “grind” type feel like in second gear every now and then? Especially when it’s cold and not warmed up but I still even slightly get it when all warmed up on a decently warm day...
Just picked up an 18 two weeks ago with 19k miles. Love the wheel setup, what suspension are you on im assuming your wheels are 18x9.5 38 offset right? Im in VA to!
So my first world problem atm is idk if I want to get the 2020 sti or wait for the new fa24 version. I will be selling my daily 2017 wrx and upgrading to a sti just dont know which one its driving me crazy lmao. have they confirmed the new sti would be Equal length headers from factory??

Teslas are super cool, don't get me wrong. And they are fast as hell. I was told by a Tesla owner that the warranty is void if he changes so much as a tire by himself. Is that true?
Love the video-- but no matter how low I turned my volume on my pc and youtube's, your voice remained a constant scream in my ear (lmao)!
Nice bro 😎, I’ve got 2019 sti , 25000 miles and agree with your take.
I’ve done similar miles in mine and agree with you on nearly all points 🙌
I love your rims and the stance. Could you please share the specs. I have the same car and would like to have this same setup. Thanks
I've owned my 2019 STI for 2 years bought it brand new. I am trading it in for a new 2021 STI next week so excited!
Getting the last year of the EJ motor!
@@SergiRodas yup which is why I figure I trade up. Plus the STIs have exceptional re-sale & trade in value.

Great comment! I'm considering picking up a 2020 STI and the resale value just sold me on definitely getting it. I dont plan on keeping her more than 3 years max.
Chargespeed grill would make this car even more 🔥
Love your video bro!! Your STI is a BEAST!! I love my 2010 STI Hatchback also!!
We all miss those hatches!
I wish that Subaru would bring back the STI in a hatchback, but that is not going to happen, unfortunately.
I can’t wait till I can get my sti
Hi! I’ve seen that you have got an Advan Sport’s tires on your Subaru. You said that you love drive your STI and I would suggest you to try the Advan Fleva V107 that are to much better than the sport! I always drive my 17’ STI on mountain roads and these tires (245/40/18 97y) are feeling amazing!
Have a nice day mate!
Cheers Alex 🥂
I like this review... From a regular guy talking to the guy, who's maybe on a budget, looking for a sporty AWD daily driver with some power.
That’s exactly my goal with my videos. I’m no car expert. I’m an enthusiast but not a mechanic. At the end of the day just a person who likes cars and want to share my honest thoughts
Love my 2020 STi.
Love the STI! Thanks for posting!!!
Needed this. Thanks bro
I'm here to and just got my 21 STi, breaking her in was difficult, but after the nuance of understanding how she was telling me it's like violent silk on the road 😍
Im tryna cruise with you I have a all black like yours and you go everywhere I go 😂
Heard
Best sounding Subie IMO
Love your wheel set up! What size/ off set TE37 are you running? What did you lower the car with?
Nah, I had both too. I think the stock STI is more friendly to drive than the stock WRX because of shifting IMO. They ride almost the same. I don't feel a difference. The transmission and the steering is superior to the WRX.
I’m 24, I’ve been into bikes my whole life never owned and a fast car only had 2020 R1, just picked up a 2018 wrx sti with 58000miles, i absolutely love it and it’s sporty enough for me, I was wondering if you think that’s a lot of miles or do I have a lot more room for more miles?
My 2019 sti limited is at 15.3k miles now and well....gas mileage freaking sucks, factory Subaru sti map sucks Rev hang 😑 but with a good custom pro/dyno tune, it'll be a solid clean runner.
Rev hang? You sure you didn’t buy a wrx with a sti badge?
@@will3362 positive - 😄 bought it at the dealer
@@will3362 rev hang just a bit then drops, factory down pipe, header only an AEM intake and a Tomei Expreme Ti catback installed, although I do have the Tomei ELH, Invidia Catless Down Pipe, IAG AOS v3, GDT mod and a GrimmSpeed FMIC with the support bar not installed yet.
@@veasnayem598 that’s crazy, I have a 2020 and don’t feel any rev hang. I thought it was only a problem with 2015+ wrxs😅 my bad
@@will3362 it's all good bro, your car is looking real clean and sounds amazing as well.
Hey fellas I need some advice here. For someone who has no mechanical knowledge on cars. Is it a dumb move wanting an sti? Are these cars high high maintenance and should I stick to FA platform for reliability... please let me know as im still very young, don't have much money to support things if a motor blows on me.
I'm glad the video wasn't just someone's face the whole time talking.
I’m thinking of buying one as my first car as a 20 year old is it a good choice
No duh, but I’m sure you got a Turno Bmw
Wrx , look up more research but it’s an amazing car
20MPG for a full AWD manual isn’t bad. from the vids i’ve seen i think it’s mainly dependant on how you drive it lol
What was the exhaust you put on it ? Does that exhaust void the warranty? Or no?
Great video will subscribe!
Wheel/tire specs? Rear control arms? Alignment specs?
I lowered mine .75” on 9.5 + 38. 265 tires rubbed on bumper clip, went down to 245, but wonder if I could have gotten away with 255’s
Between the STI and the Lexus IS350 I choose the Lexus, I want both 😬
Does your STI have a engine heater function or something similar to get the car started when the temperature get really low? Where I live it can get really cold so it would be cool to know small stuff like that.
The rumble comes from the unequal length headers, not the motor. You could throw unequal length headers on an s2000 and it will sound like a subi.
Do you feel like you can do long road trips in your STI with no problems? Like comfortably? My wrx has been good and I like to do long road trips. I just want to make sure the STI is okay with doing long trips too
Hey Sergi, you get a “grind” type feel like in second gear every now and then? Especially when it’s cold and not warmed up but I still even slightly get it when all warmed up on a decently warm day...
Yeah I get this too in my 2020. Normal I think. My 8th Gen Si was far, far, worse
I’ve had my shifter grind into 1st gear before but not second. When you have your hand on the shifter and it happens it feels awful
@@randyayala1631
Are you granny shifting?
What is the tint percentage you got there I’m looking to get my wrx done and I think yours looks perfect! Thanks in advance!
What wheels and tires are those? And what suspension are you running ? Love the stance, I have a wrx but it looks identical to yours
Just picked up an 18 two weeks ago with 19k miles. Love the wheel setup, what suspension are you on im assuming your wheels are 18x9.5 38 offset right? Im in VA to!
What part of VA? We should meet up! I would absolutely love to see this car in person, I just got the 22.
What car fitment do you have and did you lower it or roll the fenders???
Sounds & looks great. What headers are you running?
Love the STI but i got the WRX for practically and since i daily drive it. I though it was the best fit for me.
I’m looking to own a sti in a few month. Will it pass emission with the re mark resonator with mid pipe and axle back ?
What mods you have on the car ?
Looks lowered, front bumper lip ..
Did you have to cut your fenders to get that wheel fitment?
im a simple man, i see that opening shot and press like
So good 🖤
brothers nice car just want to ask specs of your wheels and offset and tire size too any answer will be appreciated
i love that sound wow
the fa motor is a NON interference motor. it has a timing chain. not a belt. that is a huge plus.
So my first world problem atm is idk if I want to get the 2020 sti or wait for the new fa24 version. I will be selling my daily 2017 wrx and upgrading to a sti just dont know which one its driving me crazy lmao. have they confirmed the new sti would be Equal length headers from factory??
Looks good in black.
I think the reason the steering feels so great is because it’s still using hydraulic power steering. Last of a dying breed.
May I know what kind of suspension you're using and please share the experience, thanks.
