    as long as you get the manual version of these cars they have some serious zip. i mean, it's nothing crazy, but it definitely has some pull that is enjoyable and makes driving the car a lot of fun. having full control over your gears will really allow you to get some speed out of it. the fact that you're getting almost 10+ mpg over the WRX is worth it to me, but if you really want a race car then this is the wrong car. this is an economical beast, affordable AWD, and it's fun to drive (if you're driving a manual!)
    i don't know how i feel about the interior swap, that money would be better saved and used towards buying an actual wrx, but that's just my opinion.
    also, a muffler delete will definitely help bring out the iconic subie rumble on this car. a muffler delete on a car that is quiet as a mouse to begin with isn't gonna do you much harm unless you plan on revving the absolute piss out of it every day when you leave for work :)

    @aluminum-falcon6152 5 лет назад +16

    Good list
    An added suggestion:
    Noico sound deadening mat in the floors, trunk and doors. Upgraded stereo and speakers. The stock system is utterly abysmal. For $600 you can do all that and have something on par with the 2018 and newer Harmon Kardon systems.

    • @TomVangTV
      @TomVangTV  5 лет назад +3

      Lowering your impreza slightly will give it a better handling capability and reduce the body roll. Reflecting on my ownership with this Impreza, the highlight of this vehicle was its handling. It definitely lacked Oomph but it had very good handling characteristics.

    @jjacob25101 6 лет назад +1

    I agree with most of what you said, especially what mods not to do. I am considering getting a 2018 Impreza Sport Hatchback in the future, with most of the factory accessories. The mesh grille is a consideration, the stock blacked out Sport grill will do for a while. It already has 18" wheels, but they have available black 18" STI wheels. Brakes also are a consideration. I like the improved interior of the 2018 Sport. I would love the WRX Recaro seats, but they would be Overkill unless it had at least WRX power. Brakes may be upgraded, if only better pads, but again, only if really needed, as I don't intend to really push it or race it. If I don't get the loaded packages with the Eye Sight and Harman Kardon system, I will get the optional Rockford Fosgate upgrade, since that's my favorite car stereo amp and speaker brand. Intake and exhaust should only be added if there is a tune for it, and yes, while under warranty, it's best to keep everything stock, with a few exceptions.

    • @TomVangTV
      @TomVangTV  6 лет назад +1

      Thanks brotha for the kind words and feedback. The Impreza's best attributes are its handling. This thing can take corners like nothing! I still think it handles better than my current WRX. It's fast but it lacks some of the qualities slower vehicles possess.

    • @jjacob25101
      @jjacob25101 6 лет назад +1

      The WRX is nice, but expensive, and has drawbacks. I bet the new one with the global platform will be much better. I'm a car enthusiast, but older and don't need all the horsepower and speed. I had an 84 Buick GN, and a 2006 Chevy Impala SS with Flowmaster exhaust. I rather have smaller cars now. I have a 2011 Chevy Cruze RS I may fix. But might sell it, and get the Impreza Sport Hatchback. My two friends have Honda Civic Type Rs. I was considering a Civic Sport Hatchback, or Si Sedan, but the Impreza has things the others don't, like a CD player, and better radio and stick handling with AWD and torque vectoring, improved styling, interior, and durability. I don't race, and no longer in HPD, so I don't have to chase anyone. Lol Maybe the aftermarket Flux Capacitor may be available later. *A running joke with my Type R friends.

  • @MichaelAlford-pf6om
    @MichaelAlford-pf6om 6 месяцев назад

    Awesome, however I went a different route lol first I tinted the windows myself 2%, looking so nice now, no longer a fish bowl lol, unfortunately mine came with hubcaps however I bought new ones and painted them gloss white and my car is pearl white, it looks awesome, a little too bright though so what I did was bought black carbon fiber vinyl wrap, wrapped it to where the lines down the hood are kept the otherside white on each sides, wrapped the top and spoiler,let me tell you It looks amazing! Wrapped the head lights and tail lights with dark tint, 🤯 looks so awesome, lettering decal on front windshield and back in red, for exhaust I went with nameless 3" quad tips and 5" muffer, nothing crazy loud, but it does rumble! That's pretty much it for the exterior, but to the conclusion it is not fast at all! 😂😂😂😂 BUT IT CERTAINLY LOOKS LIKE IT WILL GIVE YOU A RUN FOR YOUR MONEY! 😅 Lastly since it's not fast, what I did was bought a pedal Commander, all I have to say is idk why people hate! But it's feels so much faster and snappier! It definitely helps with acceleration! Last thing I'm probably going to do is put a system in it, maybe down the line if I don't trade it in, put a turbo in it! However that's quite a pricey purchase, a turbo itself and labor installation is already way more then what I put into the car as far as mods! Well see! Nice video

      I've seen Imprezas with that setup before and I agree, it looks beautiful. Reminiscing back, I honestly loved my Impreza. I just fell out of love with it and all of the things I initially thought I could live without, I began to yearn for. Ultimately why I sold the Impreza and bought a WRX.

I’m gonna do some hella horns next then save up for some coil overs to drop the car about an inch to get rid of some of the fender gap. I would tint the car but the cops around me ticket for that all the time.

    • @TomVangTV
      @TomVangTV  5 лет назад

      That's a great plan! Yes I agree with you on tint. Tint makes a world of a difference in aesthetics but also in the cabin experience. But window tint is an easy reason to be pulled over and hence why I never got it.

  • @CoolGuyVerm
    @CoolGuyVerm 5 лет назад +4

    In my opinion, I would rather buy the 2.0 Impreza over the wrx mainly because you can get a pretty good deal for a used 2012 Impreza with 100k miles on it than you would get with a 2012 wrx with 100k miles on it, but you know to each his own, and I really liked this video! Might just go out and buy a 2012 Impreza!

    • @sammyb861
      @sammyb861 5 лет назад

      Pretty true. I currently own a 2013 Impreza that I paid less than 8k for 2 years ago with about 40k miles on it. And About a year ago I bought a 2012 WRX STI with 60k miles and it cost me 26k. The cars keep their value and Wrx's and Sti's especially run on the high end. But they're very fun cars and greatly respected. And I mean 265-305 hp stock wins me over. My impreza is still pretty fun and a lot more practical (although I still hate myself for getting an auto). They're very underpowered compared to the latter two, but worth it in my opinion (plus, awd is always a good thing to have, depending where you live). Can't beat that if you're trying to save money

    • @stephenkluthe6867
      @stephenkluthe6867 6 лет назад +1

      Ah, thats a bummer. Have a friend with an impreza and he loved the tune. If you're looking for something fun and cheap to hold you over the G37 might be a good choice. It's basically a luxury 370z that can fit 4 people. It'll have very little road noise and has enough power to beat the WRX in a race.

My Impreza also has that Tim part and I like how you have both things on the car but I don't know how to install them, any tips help, thanks!

    • @TomVangTV
      @TomVangTV  6 лет назад

      Hi Ricky! Which brand of mudflaps did you buy? I don’t have my Impreza anymore but if you purchased the same set I did from Rally Armor, it should have came with a bracket set and pins. There was also an instruction manual included and I followed it, and lined up the flaps accordingly. It’s actually a lot easier to do on the Impreza vs the WRX. Email me if you have any other questions. I’ll do my best to help you. TomVangTV@gmail.com

      @TomVangTV  5 лет назад +1

      When I owned my Impreza, I was met with a wall. The FB20 engine is not a performance engine and there is no way around getting any horsepower out of it. There are no tuners available for this engine as well (or that I am aware of). The closest thing to a glimpse of hope was in Canada, there was a Crosstrek that was WRX-swapped. The entire WRX drivetrain and interior was swapped over to a Crosstrek. But the cost was somewhere around $20k+. At that point, I decided to leave the Impreza and get a WRX.

    Do you have a video installing your rally armor mudflaps?

    • @TomVangTV
      @TomVangTV  6 лет назад

      Andy Salcido unfortunately no. However, if you buy the rallyarmor brand, it lines up perfectly and the screws are all included. It’ll take you less than 30 minutes. Rallyarmor is the best flaps out there. It’s sturdy and not flimsy.

    • @TomVangTV
      @TomVangTV  6 лет назад

      Andy Salcido Andy Salcido the front flaps are easier to install. The rear ones you’ll have to jack up the car a little to give it more space to put the screws in place. I used my emergency jack and did fine. It’s one of the easier mods to install. You got it my friend! I believe in you😁

  • @yanickfugere4659
    @yanickfugere4659 6 лет назад +1

    Sorry to point that out, but are you sure about your wheels to be 17x9 ? The Enkei EDR9 doesn't even list this size. And on an 2.0i, 9 inchs rims won't fit without stinking out of the front fender by an inch or so. And the original tire size would to much of a stretch to fit on a 9 inchs rim.

    • @TomVangTV
      @TomVangTV  6 лет назад

      Yes you are right, this is my error. I believe it was 17x8.5. Thank you for pointing that out. I apologize if I mislead you and the others.

    • @yanickfugere4659
      @yanickfugere4659 6 лет назад +1

      TomVangTV come on man! Check your specs... they are 17x8. 17x8.5 doesn't exist for this wheels. It is written inside the spokes of the wheels usually. Check your info before posting stuff like that. Its your credibility that is in the line if you want people on your channel. And for the offset, for those who asked the question without any answers, it is probably +45 sunce the wheel are not sticking out the front fender.

    • @TomVangTV
      @TomVangTV  6 лет назад +1

      Ian Poorman yes sir. The mud flaps by themselves tend to flail and flop around as you go faster. With the guards on, the flaps arch and keeps its composure. Sounds weird but I hope I’m making sense.

    • @iPoorman
      @iPoorman 6 лет назад +1

      TomVangTV no yeah it makes sense. Which did you install first? Was it tricky to install one once the other was on? I've heard some people say the flaps don't go on well if the guards are on

    • @TomVangTV
      @TomVangTV  6 лет назад +1

      Ian Poorman the guards went on first. And no it wasn’t tricky. It was a perfect fit. You just have to make sure the wheels don’t rub on the flaps and there’s enough clearance when the wheels turn. Other than that it’s good to go.

    I would raise it 2 inches instead of lowering it, sort of like the Crosstrek , and you should also install a white rear deck spoiler, it would look even more sporty. I have a 2012 just like you have but Dark Grey Metallic. I was looking at these wheels: audiocityusa.com/shop/18-Marquee-Wheels-M8888-Gloss-Black-Rims.html

      The tire size came stock from Subaru from their premium trim. The original wheels were 17x5. The rims were Enkeis 17x9 and I just transferred over the tires. Not sure about offset but my Impreza was at stock height. No rubs or clearance issue. It did however make my vehicle look lowered with the black on white.

People can say you should have gotten a wrx but I got a steal of a deal on my 2018 hatchback and even after adding a turbo and rims/tires I’m still a few grand under a wrx and I get the car I prefer.
