The base 18 STI had the option for push to start/keyless entry. I have a bare bones 18 STI and honestly don't feel like I'm missing anything.
Cause of you I got an sti a week ago I absolutely love it . Keep the videos coming.
From a performance aspect I'd grab a base all day every day. But I have a 2015 Limited and I do enjoy the leather and moon roof it just makes the inside a nicer place to be as a daily driver.
Pretty awesome how Subaru’s hold their value. I had an 06 before my 15 and like you I got pretty much what I paid for it 3 years later.
I got my 21 limited because I wanted the top trim for the final ej as well as some of the features. I wanted the blind spot monitoring it definitely comes in handy, I do like the moon roof this is the first sedan I’ve had where I can still wear hats without my head touching the ceiling. The HK sound system is very nice, the Recaro’s are very comfortable, also something they don’t tell you at the dealer on the limited trim the short throw shifter comes standard even though it doesn’t say it on the paper work. found that out when I tried to add it after the fact.
I got a 2020 base, limited is cool and all but why am I paying 2000+ for things I could easily do half the price. I guess you could say that for any car but the bare minimum for me was an STi base. Everything is keyless now. The gap just started coming closer together.
Buy what you want! If I didn't want to upgrade my car or performance, I would have gotten the limited and settled with it.
Sunroof was the kicker for me with buying the limited
Base 2021 for me. The base stereo sucks, but I HATE sunroofs and the base doesn't have one. The cool thing about the 2021 STI is that the stereo only does stereo things, not car things - unlike most cars now, so I'll definitely replace it and run external amps like back in the day. I LOVE the fact that I can do this, which I haven't been able to do in my new cars for years, since every manufacturer is integrating everting into the stock infotainment. In fact, I can't believe that aftermarket head units even exist in 2021. I was actually surprised to see how cheap the Recaro STI seats are on eBay. Whole sets, shipped, for $1200. NUTS. If you want the Recaro seats you can get them cheap, and you don't have to mess with the weight of the non-removable moon roof and the complications when going aftermarket stereo stuff with the factory H/K stereo. If you just want to leave it stock and if you want a moon roof, Limited is the way to go. If you're a modder and you don't care about a sunroof (I'd never add an aftermarket one of those to any car), base STI is the way to go. That being said, if you're spending $39K, $41K isn't that much more. Buy what makes sense for your use case.
@Car Stuff Nerd Stuff, thanks for the advice. So, why do you hate moonroofs?
i enjoyed this loud and clear you're a funny guy haha. thank you for the info!
Limited is the only one with low lip spoiler option stock as well.
I bought the STi Limited because I want the perks, things like powered moon roof, keyless entry and sound system.
I got a 19 STI limited last year brand new, theres several reasons firstly where i live its smoking hot in the summer, so sunroof works and idk about your weight point because they both give you same performance from the factory, also knowing every thing i could do to the car from factory i got it done thats the real benefit of getting the limited. The harmon kardon audio, the android auto oem unit etc.
Back in 17, I got the base w/no push start/HK. I found it easier to bargain with dealers! I had to get it as cheap as possible to be smart! The limited level was always marked up so much! I have never regretted it! I think at the time it was 8k cheaper maybe more :)
I bought a 2016 base over the limited 2016 sti. Save more for mods. I honestly just like the wheels on the limited.
I like your channel bro...
Awesome videos and great content...👍👍
Harmon Kardon sold it for me. Had a 2016 base and the stock radio sucked sooo bad. Have a 2020 sti limited now. Love the videos, recently subbed!
Thank you for being honest 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💯💯
Ditto about the leather, i have a 19 limited wrx and it hasnt worn so nice. One option i love is the adaptive led headlights.
Excellent video!
I have some experience on this issue cuz my bro and I bought 2011 sti's. His Limited trim only had sunroof, BBS wheels and leather seats compared to my base and he paid around $3K more than me which makes same HP/TQ imho doesnt justify the cost difference.
good to see a car seats
Once again we are of like mind. I bought my Base 2015 WRX with the specific goal of modifying it. Although I could never replicate the DCCD transmission of an STI I could with other primary aspects. I now basically have a 2018 STI RA using the FA platform with decent fuel economy. Plus I had the fun of selecting all the parts necessary to make it happen!
Massive fan of your thoughts and ideas, would you have gone for another blue over Lapiz?cheers
Thank you! I originally planned to get wrb. But I saw lapis in person and had to have it.
The keyless entry sells it
Yeah wish I got it for that. Aftermarket keyless entry, push to start are just not that good or overly complicated
@@MachuPichuu yeah it seems like all after market kits are just cheaply made and their none of good quality available.
Limited is the way to go harmon kardon is the best system y upgrade
We got the same insight over the sun roof
I notice you have the car seats back there, how is the heating/cooling and space back there? I got a kid myself and i'm curious as I don't see many vents, and i kinda hate that only cup holders in the fold down =/
No issues at all. The car is fairly small so it heats up/cools down just fine.
@@Autofreakgarage probably an odd question but how "kid friendly" are those back seats like have you found any quirks with them?
ruclips.net/video/OTx5yZ2OLJA/видео.html
@@Autofreakgarage well damn dude hell yeah thanks! Give ya a sub =p
might have some more questions for ya too
Maybe the leather was different on the previous gen but I have a 13 STI Limited with 58K on it and the leather is mint. Also the leather doesn’t feel slippery when cornering either. Then again I’m used to terrible corvette c5 and c6 seats and that leather sucks, feels like you’re sitting on an ice rink
are the kicker speakers better than harmon kardon??
The h/k system does sound fairly decent for a stock system. I would say the kickers are on par, but the h/k has a slight edge.
Do you find your ride height "dailyable" in NJ? I live here too
Where I commute and drive, the roads are nicer. For my environment, my ride height causes no issues anywhere I go.
Is there a difference in HP?
None. Same motor same numbers.
Did you get rid of the Work ZR10s??
I got rid of them a week after I mounted them.
I got the premium
I feel attacked hahaha i should have just got a base. Everything you say about the limited is true 😄
No wrong choice either way! It’s just how I decided between the two when I was searching for mine.
Whatever makes you happy, I like driving down the canyons with my sunroof. Be happy you have a STI, nothing worse than someone asking if that a STI and you say no its a wrx....and they give you that “oh”.
@@lukeeluciano lmao haha wrx
@@lukeeluciano Ha true, but mine is almost indistinguishable from an STI from the full interior swap, wing, brembos limited slip rear. Soon full transmission swap. I just like the FA motors better, way better MPG and the twin scroll with a upgraded turbo really runs has a improved power band compared to the STI.
Buy limited
