Wife has one, every now and then she let's me drive it. Absolutely a fantastic car. Every second you sit in it you have a smile on your face. Whether it's down to the corner market or going across the state.
The Hooniverse The great man has spoken......lol. This is a cool car but unfortunately I'm way over the age demographic for this beast. Keep the reviews coming, home slice.
asr 01 Im in the UK, I really want the STi, I dont like the Golf, looks boring and sounds it as well. The Focus doesnt look bad, decent image but I love Boxer engines so it would be the Subaru over anything else for me.
Looks ace in red. Rare colour in the UK, although I saw one pass me on the M40 the other week. As for saying the Golf R is better with DSG, from many reviews ive seen, customers prefer the manual. Shame that VW have dropped the manual in the latest version. Give us the choice ! Im sick of car makers dictating to us, telling us what they think we want. Im hoping to get an AWD car in the next couple of years, and the Golf R was on my list but not anymore. Plenty low mileage MT versions for sale on Auto Trader, and still quite a few low mileage WRX STIs for sale as well from Subaru dealers. Ford ? No thanks.
great and fair review. most of us seem to love manual gear boxes no matter how good those automatics are nowadays. I just need a stick shift all day everyday.
The one to buy is the one that makes you smile, not necessarely the fastest. DSG is sure quick but autos are dull as hell. I own an S3, and shopping to go back to subaru
Jeff, very knowledgeable and good review. Normal WRX or Levorg with the 2.0ltre 197kw motor would be better for the average person driving every day for commute or whatever, STI is the perfect weekend car. Greetings from Australia
We have a slightly different market in the UK, and sadly we are getting no more WRX STis in this country for some reason. Not sure why, but there are plenty of very low mileage examples of this car at dealers, all at great prices so when I have more cash at least I should be able to find one :)
The wrx fa20 is turbocharged....

What do you drive?
Raymond Ngu Prius
his wife
It's a boxer engine, not a Boxster engine.
Thats what he said.
Boxster engine Jeff........???? I guess FCA will be introducing a Homie V8 engine in 2018.
what up homie

Did he just say could we get a turbo charged version of the fa20 from the WRX?
i would take this subaru over a golf or focus.

I literally just picked up an identical car to this one. Same color, trim, everything...
hey Jeff , we love the way you doing the reviews . why we dont see more from you .
See more Jeff at his youtube channel The Hooniverse
haha. every time i see that "C. Diff" I am always thinking about the bacteria.. *works in a med lab*
lol... All of a sudden "My Tummy" doesn't feel so well lol
Did he just wish for a "turbocharged" version of the current 2.0 WRX engine? I thought it already was turbo'd?
it is already turbo'd
Thank you for the review ab Lincoln

Does he know what he is talking about? He sounds like he is repeating what he's heard, and not what he knows.
As with most reviews
Hey Mr. Jeff!
The 2 liter wrx IS turbo charged as well.
What you meant was probably if they can make one that's 2.5 for the STI
great and fair review. most of us seem to love manual gear boxes no matter how good those automatics are nowadays. I just need a stick shift all day everyday.
drepop803 auto boxes are for people who dont know how to drive :)
Simon George lol or ppl who don't care to drive. the only way I drive an auto is if I'm injured and cant perform a manual.
Within 11 seconds I gave it a like this gentleman knows me somehow 😌

gud review Jeff.....

I want a saburu so bad but nervous about the engine keep hearing head gaskets blowing

great video.
This guy seems like its his first time touching a Subaru
Boxer not Boxter................
this is as fun as sti
I saw the big wing and thought it was time to go potty
He doesn't know me at all!
Does the base wrx have that option to change that s drive ?
Eric joker No it doesn’t
Eric joker I think it does, as long as you get the CVT tranny.
It’s boxer not boxter!
the WRX is turbocharged?! what is he talking about
Yeah, I think that was on accident.
"IF" we could get a turbocharged version of the FA.
Bro, it's boxer not Boxster.
Jeeez
Wait another Year for a New Engine.
Nice.
Stellar review!
C diff is nasty
Lol, what? "Center differential issues" on the RS? That car doesn't have a center diff.
Center Differential Control is what I meant.
The car has a Twinster rear diff with torque vectoring. You can't have center diff control when you don't have a center diff.
stand out a little bit. haha. stand out from who? the other STi drivers?
Stand out from the regular WRX drivers. WRX drivers cream their pants at the sight of an STI.
this or isf
muy naaem iz JEFF
ah yes, The Hooniverse !
This guy doesn’t seem very educated on the sti
Boxer not boxster😂
Lol 😂 4 months ago I said this. It caught me off guard and I laughed when I read this Comment then I realized it was mine. Then laughed harder 🤣🤣
you should be out reviewing cross country skis, not cars bud. have you ever worked on or modified one?
love the pun at 3:35 xD
It is definitely not an Impreza anymore man come on making mistakes rookies make ...
take it off road and get the car full of stone chips
starlord
A V-6 Camaro has more hp than this does.
Mag neto and way better handling, lol not
