  • There's going to be a new Subaru WRX next year. You might say 'Good. About bloody time!' And there's no doubt the new car will be stiffer, faster, quieter, more comfortable and more tech'd than the current car. But not all progress is necessarily good progress. Blu wanted to see how outdated the "old" Rex was as it heads into that great retirement garage in the sky. He came away pleasantly surprised.

    Cool car. Old school. With stick. Love that. So much more engaging and fun than most what is made these days.

      Dead right John. Bang on the money. Be interesting to see if the new version next year is packing duller technology like electric handbrakes and start/stop engine functions. Cheers for watching. Blu.

    Kia Ora. Nice review esp. of the driving dynamics. Even without being overly technical, this is insightful and not cliche, unlike some other reviewers. Also appreciate the points about building a bond with the car and the satisfaction of driving a mechanical. Makes me want to own a Subaru again. Confidence in Motion!

    Miss my "old" STI of the same shape/model. Awesome driving experience but I fell out of love with the shape very quickly. It's long overdue for a new model that would bring Subaru into the current era.
    They're still one of the best engineered cars on the road especially from Japan but they hang on to models way too long.

      Good to hear your first-person observations Paul. Nice to see your black STi again in the link to my 2016 test of that car and the WRX SLT. Happy days, eh. No one said you can’t go out and get another STi, Paul...!

    So it’s like a p platers dream? Holden commodore with a HSV body kit, basically 😂😂. If it’s a WRX, not an STI, it shouldn’t be branded as an STI

      Hi there Fat Boy & Drop. You might want to check back on my channel every now and then as I’ll have a review on the WRX STi Saigo that Subaru NZ is currently offering. That should be genuine STi enough for you, I hope. Thanks fir watching. 👍

      Hi Sam. I’m afraid what you hear in the video is pretty much it - in other words, nothing too special. A little bassey-er than most 2-litre cars and slightly more vocal but definitely never shouts “Look st me” to people on the footpath. Cheers for watching Sam.
