Yeah Horse Power is way overrated for the daily driver. Honestly the EJ205 is great for producing more torque in the lower RPMs. The 2.5 makes more power and tq, but it doesn't come on until you hit boost around 3200RPMs. Torque make a daily driver more fun than one with high hp numbers.
Yeah, I also agree about your power comment, 100%. As you said, you can bump any car out there, power is only part of the equation. As one who has written/produced commercials/advertising for 27 different car brands around the globe, I boiled down performance to one simple equation: performance is the measure of how quickly a driver's desires become the actions of the car. Great piece of film making, very fun. Many thanks. - AB in Santa Barbara California and Sabah Borneo and sometimes Tampines Singapore.
Welcome back. Nway. Totaly agree with the power is kind of overated. Sure, u can squeeze power to up to 200 bhp from, let say proton waja. But doesnt mean it is a sport car. Sport car stll drve, handle differntly. N sure. More fun. That is when gt86 cme into this. Nway. Good job.
I'd just like to ask why you state that the WRX is 'A buy' when the Evo IX is a 'Don't know' given that the Evo is a far superior vehicle both in standard trim and modified?
Very nice review,and I'm kind a agree with you on the subject on power vs balance,and dig the music! I could hear some Slipknot and SOAD,and the rest of the music was nice too tho!
Hello Folks, it's a WRX not a Sti as when u see the Video on 2.55... the speedometer does not have the written Red Sti Logo.. And besides, the owner have upgraded its Brakes with Brembo Caliper which normally Wrx don't have these Brakes.. Anyway, although it's a Wrx, it is a Monster ...
BTroxTV OK so which year of Sti are you referring to??? That guy was mentioning The STI ones which are 2.0L I know there are 2.5l sti but they're rare and there's no much difference. But only the Wrx Sti had 2.5 300HP
Just stumbled upon this video. Love your taste in music man. I heard all the great Slipknot and Deftones classics. What sets your review apart from a lot of others is that it's not your standard ride along and talk. It's got multiple angles, music, and good humor. Keep it up man!
I think when they were looking into new top gear presenters they should have looked your way. funny, interesting and factual. Would like to see a review of the STI of the same generation as this WRX. Am interested in getting a wrx or an sti of this generation. The sti ,however, is roughly 60% more expensive.. is it worth it i wonder???
Thanks for your support dude really appreciate it! Interestingly this WRX is an STI convert minus the GB. I realize many people do that versus buying the STI. Prob cheaper that way...
Lol at everyone saying it's an sti ! It's a wrx that has been modded ! It's not an sti ! How do I know ? Sti gauges are red and and say sti and look at the interior I believe until 07 the sti interior only came in blue and black this interior is all black and the gauges are black
Yes 2.5 wrx compare to 2.0 wrx it has 4 more hp and 15 more torque but only if you drive it for more than a week you can see the difference between both oh And for the 2.5 version they decided to add a front headlight washer which the 2.0 doesn't has and remove the rear window wiper which the 2.0 has and change the interior designs
Trung Tran no need to be harsh im not trying to argue with someone i don't know.... isn't sti short for subaru technica international? isnt it a subaru tuning company? what if i had a wrx that was tuned by the company wouldn't that be enough for me to put the sticker on my car?
+Trung Tran C/mon mate, its the norm nowadays. Many other cars do the same, for instance VW Scirocco having the R8 bodykit and stuff, that dont make it an R8, but hey who cares? If the owner likes it that way, then that is his preference.
I agree with your comment about power being over rated. A car should be balanced. How the car makes you feel is paramount.
Thank you! ☺
Finally someone UNDERSTANDS!!!!

Not a big Subaru fan but that blowoff valve soundz bad azz! I can daily it just to hear that whole day! 😄 nice video.
Very well put, I agree 100%. I do not regret buying mine at all. I love it to death.
Thank you very much..!!

Thank you very much and you do make a very good point. Definitely wanna review the GT86!!
Great choice. Fantastic observation on power. The more comfort you find within the vehicle the faster you go. Suspension is underrated.
Subaru Forester would be another good choice power, space and comfort built together. It has either 2.0 turbo or 2.5 turbo versions.
Yes that would be a good alternative for those seeking more comfort.
An 04 model just like how my Uncle's before it's scrap, nice!
Deftones and slipknot as background music makes me happy. Subscribed!
+Deathcab forhootie Thanks man.. ☺
I may be biased, but thumbs up for anyone giving a thumbs up to the WRX!
cnlish And thumbs up for that..!! Thank you :)
song-psychosocial by Slipknot
Spot on..!!

I love your choices of background music....
What type of sideskirts or splitter corners does this car have? Where can I find them. Thanks.
totally forgot about the spare parts cost =p. headlights. ignition coils. problematic after u start to mod it
True. But we wanted to keep it short so.... Anyway, thanks to your comment now everyone knows :)
Great review but for another review is not 4wd it’s awd over all keep up the great work
Loving the body kit setup on the WRX
Will Mudd 👍🏽
I lost my shit at 5:32 lmao😂😂😂
Nice review!! Whats the size of the advan rims in this car?
18 Inch..
Nice video !! Is a stock turbo or a aftermaket

+Poornanun Sanmukhiya Ya, it IS mentioned in the video that this is a base Rex, not an STI.
Great review. Your power numbers are off though. The STi (2.5l) makes 300 hp.
No idiot only after 2011 they decided to make the Sti 305 hp 2001-2007 Sti produces 268 hp 2008-2011 makes 280 hp
chang chu feng You are just so completely wrong I don't know where to begin. Try Google, genius.
BTroxTV OK so which year of Sti are you referring to??? That guy was mentioning The STI ones which are 2.0L I know there are 2.5l sti but they're rare and there's no much difference. But only the Wrx Sti had 2.5 300HP
Maybe this is a WRX and the kid just stole the badge, but at 3:37 you do the the STI badge on the rear of the car
comfort level. well said.
What spoiler is that?! Looks better that the stock WRX wing
MannyFresh1x Its a S204 wing
hendrahendra ahhh right ok thanks.
4:16 you are spot on hahahaha
Haha thank you 👍

around how much would the insurance cost for this car
Well that kinda depends on a lot of factors but versus a regular sedan its gonna be way more..!! #boostissues

+blakestilltippin the video did say it's not an STI, and is the base model.
Really enjoyed this video very well done
review the Toyota mark X maybe 2012-2016 model
well its not all about the end figure of power between the 2.0 and 2.5. more low end torque and better drivability for the 2.5. =)
Yes 2.5 wrx compare to 2.0 wrx it has 4 more hp and 15 more torque but only if you drive it for more than a week you can see the difference between both oh And for the 2.5 version they decided to add a front headlight washer which the 2.0 doesn't has and remove the rear window wiper which the 2.0 has and change the interior designs
My dream car
Editor a Deftones fan aye? :D
Indeed.... And also Slipknot..!!
what's the opening 3 second music ?
What type of bov is this?
Wrx vs ralliart♥️
Great review
Thank you.... :)
What kind of exhaust Is this?
HKS Silent Power
really want this bov for my 04 wrx anybody know it?
it's so nice but the spoiler gotta go :) other than that is clean and simple!! In the future of owning a 2004 04 5 wrx.
Good luck with your ride dude!
what B.O.V is that?
There's an entire comment thread on that... Look for it man...

spanky loko Who cares? It doesn't need it
Troll I do.

+spanky loko the answer is simple. it doesnt have one.
S204 rear spoiler.
Chop Suey
loved the video bruzz :)
Thanks man! Appreciate the support! 👍🏼
The insurances is very expensive & FC is worst then reviewed. thats why people choose not to buy this WRX althought the car is affordable.
Yup true...!!
You reviewed a sti not a wrx just saying
its not an STI because it doesnt have the STI interior and the hood scoop is a little bit smaller or shorter
Slipknot in the background tho
The WRX doesn't have an B.O.V man
😐
scooby interior much smaller than evo
dats one hot cabby my Laanie!!!!
can you fix that fucking surge omg
if its not an sti, stop trying to be cool and take off the sti emblem
Trung Tran what if Subaru technica international did some work on it? and gave it a few of its parts would that sticker still be wrong?
layesse1 he clearly said that its just a regular wrx dumb ass go re-watch the video.
Trung Tran no need to be harsh im not trying to argue with someone i don't know.... isn't sti short for subaru technica international? isnt it a subaru tuning company? what if i had a wrx that was tuned by the company wouldn't that be enough for me to put the sticker on my car?

Sumbaro? wtf?
that's bov is annoying
This guys can't pronounce the car or see over the steering wheel... Why is he doing reviews
Cuz I don't see you doing reviews? 🙃
What bov is that?
