I just bought a WRX non STI yesterday at my local dealer. I took the car for a test drive and I was floored how loud and fast the car is straight from factory. Best purchase I’ve made!
Just bought one and drove it home. Owned 20 cars (new and used) and I have to say, this is the best purchase yet. Very fun to drive, acceleration is great and handling is superb
I just ordered a 2021 Subaru Sti same color. This is why I’m here. The car should be at the dealer any week now and I can’t wait. So watching this makes me even more excited.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed wow I haven’t seen one of your videos since I was 12. I’m 15 now and next year I can drive! This is probably the car I’m gonna get but the new c8 is nice
@@phantomjosh2148 Wow! Nice! For your first car you are choosing between 2 brand new sports cars? You saved up for them? For my first car at 16 my choice was between a 270k mile 98 subaru legacy wagon and a 150k mile mercury sable. Needless to say I chose the legacy, bought it with 1700 bucks cash that I made from mowing lawns and cutting firewood. I put 70k hard miles on it before it died from old age, abuse, and neglect. It was a good learning experience though. The Wrx Sti has been my dream car since age 13 finally making the dream a reality at 27. I hope your first car treats you well and you it. Happy motoring
I have a 2016 and its my daily and I still love driving it. Its the best part of my work day just driving to and from work. And not to mention its an absolute beast in the snow! Good review video cheers!
Thanks for sharing! Anything that puts a smile on your face while driving is the right car! Glad you are enjoying your Subaru and I'm sure it's fun in the snow!!
A beautiful manual transmission, analog speedometer and mechanic handbrak.What else can you ask? A wonderful perfect car.And I don't have to mention quality and reliable Japanese products!
Still driving my 2011 and it brings a smile to my face every time I get behind the wheel. Only car I’ve ever kept for more than a few years. Never get bored of it!
Ordered my STI a couple of weeks ago and I’m very anxious to get it. When I test drove one at the dealer it exceeded my expectations. The one they had available did not have the wing and that’s a must.
You can tell this is a well liked vehicle by the number of views and likes in a short period of time. This car has a lot of followers. I almost bought a WRX years ago, but it wasn't the STI version. I wish I had, but what I have now serves it's purpose. Fun video to watch.
Yea it's doing pretty well! The STI is a great sedan and fun to drive! Even the WRX is a great car and I'll be reviewing one soon to see the differences! Glad you enjoyed it!
i have a 2019 STI, its the third car ive owned and i love everything about it, i've never had any issues with it and im pretty diligent with keeping my car running clean and well, there will be a lot of people shitting on STI's because of "reliability issues" but those issues come from drivers and mods that arent properly done
You make a good point about that. I know they can handle some power, but if they aren't tuned properly, and really for any vehicle, that's when it goes south! Some bolt ons and a tune could give you reliable power without going crazy!
Did you order yours? If so, how long did you have to wait? I ordered a 21 sti base on March 25th. I heard subaru shut down production for the month of April due to microchip supply shortag so maybe It will still be a while.
@@ianholmquist8492 I got my 2019 STI appraised on 4/12 at the subaru dealer for the 2021 STI limited was in transit so I put a deposit on it. I took delivery on 4/26.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed thanks man I am really enjoying my car it’s the same as the one they’re using for demonstrating or advertising or for whatever all I need now is to get my windows legally tinted
That EJ25 is almost as old as I am now!😂 Still such a cool engine though! Love that despite the improvements they’ve made, Subaru hasn’t just engineered out all of the character and rough edges of the STI. Such a unique personality. Hope they preserve that for the next gen.
I'm surprised and at the same time glad to see the black and red interior for a Subaru sedan. I've got a funny feeling that the future owner of this one will toss the lime green calipers to get red ones to match the interior.
I think this is a nice interior especially against the blue! But yeah, not sure where the green idea came from, but red would look a lot better! Fun Subaru to drive though!
I just wish that most of the Subaru WRX and STi models to sti have the traditional twist key ignition. If it is alright to ask, is a WRX a good car to learn manual on please?
After daily driving a base wrx for the last 4 years I feel qualified to say that no, it is not. It was my 3rd MT car and by far the most difficult to get used to. My brother is learning to drive manual and he can drive most of them fine but not my wrx. And I struggled with it at first. Trading in for a 21 wrx sti. The sti trans is as easy and satisfying as the wrx trans is sloppy and annoying. Hope this helps. As far as best stock MT to learn on, I would recommend any Honda. The sti is great for sure and pretty bulletproof though could be a bit tricky starting out. I learned in a civic. Say what you like about honda, they do make an easy to drive manual. Definitely try before you buy though because everyone's preferences are a bit different.
You'd prefer the traditional turn key over push button? I like how it has keyless entry which you won't get with the turn key! Either way, the Subaru is a cool sedan!
I can see that somewhat. It's crazy to see how quick the bite point is on this clutch. I liked it and when I drove my R8 home after this, was weird to get used to that afterwards! I said it was easy because of how light feeling it was, but didn't really think about the bit point, I'm sure newbies would be stalling it quicker, but could still be a great car to learn on if a friend has one. But personal preference is a big factor for sure!!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yes indeed,, that's interesting as well.. the clutch and trans on the wrx sti is night and day better than the wrx. I test drove an sti and I instantly had to have it, mainly for that reason. You have an R8? Nice, those cars are amazing and sound beautiful.
@@ianholmquist8492 thank you for the tip! Will definitely test the car put first to see if I like it and if it is something I'd be comfortable with as well :)
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I am, I was hoping to get the new 2021 from Japan. Still haven’t seen much of it and the dealership doesn’t have much info to tell either. Subaru is being hush hush. (Currently in Guam)
I wish i have one of those because of the 182 horsepower four cylinder boxer turbo engine and its made at the japaneese market. I wish someone can get one for my birthday
Is Subaru still making the 2021 model? I just tried purchasing one but because the 2022 model just premiered they might of stopped production on these. I'm waiting for them to contact me about whether I can get one or not. I really hope I can because I do not like the 2022 model it's a horrible design and with cheap plastic all over.
I feel like production probably is about done. Not sure tho. Hopefully they get back with you soon! The 2022 looks like a Crosstrek with those flares. Not a fan either
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Subaru just got back to me and told me they were not able to create my customized 2021 because they were not producing them anymore due to the new 2022. Instead they gave me options of what's already coming to them (last ones). He told me he would reserve it for me to check it out, but it's not limited like I wanted it. I'll check it out, but i'm not totally convinced. Looks like Subaru will lose this customer for their failure to produce something good 2022. I'm gonna purchase a Toyota truck instead.
I think Toyota should make the Corolla GR with the same 1.6 litre three cylinder from the Yaris GR, with both the manual and the automatic. Four wheel drive for both.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed they're listed at that and you call only for them to add 5 to 10k. I kinda refuse to buy a used car at 30 k anyways. I'll give it a few more weeks amd probably just get an sti or go cheap for an accord sport
Whichever car makes the most sense for you! I don't think I could spend that much on a Type R when the competitors are AWD and that's just FWD. It's cool, but can't hang with the STI!
I just bought a Subaru WRX STI 2021 in September from the dealership and I am curious... Is it normal for the car to do a creaking nose when you steer all the way to the left or right while backing out of a parking spot or taking off in first gear. I just bought this car and it's interesting it would have a creaking noise as if the cv joints were already worn out or something when it's supposed to be a brand new car.
Why not? In a manual you can skip gears. I was at my cruising speed, no need to go into 5th just to go right into 6th. When you downshift you don't always go into consecutive gears. Beauty of a stick ;)
They omitted the intercooler sprayer this particular MY, you can see the blank button on the dash front panel. No bronze BBS wheels. I’m tempted but......I’m not committed. Maybe yes, maybe no for me.
For us who live in the real world, that's: 393Nm @ 4000rpm 1542kg 0-97km/h (0-100km/h) @ 4.5s 241km/h 60L fuel cap 6.8km/L - city 9.35km/L - highway 2.65m wheelbase 4.6m overall length 1.8m width 1.48m height
Real world? lol. The US is kinda the leader in the world and we use the figures I stated ;) Nothing wrong with being different. Thanks for the conversions
Went from a 2010 sti hatch to a bran new 2018 brz RU and currently trading my brz in for 25grand trade in while ordered a 2021 wrx sti sport tech, brz was fun but nothing compared to STI back to the turbo club !
@@BrosFOURRSpeed my car right now is a 2017 Ford Focus with the dct. It’s quick but not fast like the sti. (Non turbo) but it can go through all gears and pull real hard if done right.
2019+ rec'd some of the type RA upgrades: new ecu tune, 3rd gear revision, a more free flowing exh sys, "upgraded" pistons, revised intake, & sodium filled exh valves.
Just sold my 2012 STi hatchback - considering this, a Type R, a GR Yaris or a Veloster N DCT. Considering that since the VN PP isn't available locally in my country and I'd still have to import it, the price comes out to equal both my three other options. Any thoughts?
$42 grand?? Well I guess the Civic Type R is comparable- have you fellas reviewed the Charger RT? Idk Subies have always had great respect in the import world- Good review Mike!
The Civic Type R is also front wheel drive, so not as sporty as the Subaru! You get a lot of torque steer in that if you try to tune it for more power! We haven't reviewed the RT yet, but did the Scat Pack wide body! ruclips.net/video/6RV-dPQ0o7M/видео.html
I just found a 2017 with 48k miles for $34k! When the Civic Type R was new, dealers were marking them up to $60k which was ridiculous, but they aren't close to $60k anymore.
I’m looking at getting one of these. I currently have a stage-4 Focus ST. Wondering if I should wait till next year to get the new model. Love the wing but that looks like automatic car washes are a no go lol, which is annoying.
Yeah this would need a touches car wash for sure. But the brushes scratch up paint, so you shouldn't go in those anyways. I'm not too sure on the pricing for the new STI. But they will probably be a nice update. If you enjoy your car no harm in waiting until it's out
Just bought and drove home a 2021 sti. Managed to snag one of these new at msrp. All I can say is.. ive had about 20 cars and this car being the most fun overall
I just sold my 2017 FiST because I got nearly what I paid for it. Put it all towards a 2021 WR Blue Sti. Loving it!!!!!!!! Never run your car through an auto car wash-yikes!
I'm not sure about that, but I don't think I've seen an STI without the recaros. I didn't see the seatbelts as an option either so I think that's standard.
ruclips.net/video/VRxl2wZPjls/видео.html Heres a vid we made comparing this to the Audi S3. I think the STI rides fine. Not as comfortable as the Audi. You'd think the Golf R would be the same as the Audi tho since it's the same car underneath. But the S3 with magnetic ride is noticeable more comfortable than this. In Dynamic mode feels about the same as this.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed The R is awful, short wheelbase and super stiff, on the Canadian winter roads its horrific. I'll check out your other videos though thank you
I’ve always liked the WRX STI. Seems like a fun car. But that rear wing is a little too much! Wish they’d lower it about five inches. It just looks way too high.
Normally the 500 miles should be driven under 4k rpm. Like I did on the test drive. Then the next 500 I get a bit more aggressive. After that doesnt really matter
The Genesis Coupe was a fun car for sure. We owned two of them back in the day. This is pretty on par tho in performance stock for stock. But with mods both car can get pretty quick
Yep yep! Got mine in February. Love it. It is not the fastest car in a straight line (very driver dependent). But, the smiles in the corners and the old school split second turbo lag is wonderful. Running Cobb AP on HWG 91 map and logs out great with 93 pump. A lot more torque 3k up. ;).
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Yeah honestly for someone that wants a minor bump in power that will not strain the motor at all (as long as maintenance/solid fuel used/ non abuse) it is a no brainer. Torque gains are are huge benefit for normal driving. Cobb ots 91 or protune it stage 1.
I'm so excited to get an STi! Would you recommend it as a second car? Also I currently drive a 2014 Sport Auto Lancer, would you know if the STi feels similar to drive/handle if you've ever driven a regular Lancer before? Can't really test drive a WRX/STi until I get on my full licence which is in about 2 years, laws are strict here in Australia, NSW. Awesome review anyways, keep it up!
The WRX is a fun car for sure, as a second car, that's up to you if you can afford that and want two vehicles! They are going to handle completely different! I've been in the lancer before and it's just like a normal sedan, the STI has completely different handling characteristics and is a lot more sporty! Glad you enjoyed the review and hopefully that helps!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed cheers for the reply, helps a lot! You mentioning it handles completely different and more sporty has gotten me even more excited, haha.
Nothing comes free...You have to work hard to play hard! Only then can you reward yourself with a sweet purchase like this car! You have to keep working, and have the dedication to make small goals that eventually lead to the bigger goals! It feels great once you achieve that through the hard work and persistence! Keep working towards it!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed couldn't agree any more. Just turned the big 5-0! Rewarded myself after many years of hard work & saving to buy a 2021 Sti on my bday. Soooo happy
@@BrosFOURRSpeed just because you can doesn't mean you should. Especially in a new vehicle. Good way to wear out the syncros. You can also shift without using the clutch, but that doesn't mean you should do it. You responded like you think I don't know anything about manuals. I noticed your shifting was pretty all over the place.
@@GFine79 It doesn’t hurt syncros at all to skip gears. There is no shift logic in a manual transmission. It doesn’t have to be consecutive gears. Why do you think a lot of new cars come with the shift lock out feature? The C7 corvette and many other newer manual cars lock you out of 2nd and you’ll go from 1st to 4th at slow speeds.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Oh got it! I'm totally convinced that the last year model and 2019 model still called Impreza, but you are right! The Impreza WRX Sti from 2007 and the 22B models will always be my favorite cars! 👍 Some months ago I bought a new car, the 2020 Ford Focus 1.0 125hp in blue color, similar like this one. For a reminder that the spirit of Subaru will be always with me, even in a Ford 😂😂😂 Love this version! Only lacks for the golden/yellow rims 😁Thanks for the video. You gained a new fan on the channel, today!
Had to watch to see if I wanted one, nah I'll keep my 05 all day lol this is a Honda Accord Type R with a Subaru badge. Subaru dropped the ball after 2014.
@@AndyDufresne4 Driving the car like normal is fine for a break in, not redlining or anything crazy. You can drive a manual easy for the break in period…still not seeing what you mean.

Is Subaru still making the 2021 model? I just tried purchasing one but because the 2022 model just premiered they might of stopped production on these. I'm waiting for them to contact me about whether I can get one or not. I really hope I can because I do not like the 2022 model it's a horrible design and with cheap plastic all over.
I feel like production probably is about done. Not sure tho. Hopefully they get back with you soon! The 2022 looks like a Crosstrek with those flares. Not a fan either
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Subaru just got back to me and told me they were not able to create my customized 2021 because they were not producing them anymore due to the new 2022. Instead they gave me options of what's already coming to them (last ones). He told me he would reserve it for me to check it out, but it's not limited like I wanted it. I'll check it out, but i'm not totally convinced. Looks like Subaru will lose this customer for their failure to produce something good 2022. I'm gonna purchase a Toyota truck instead.
Would you consider it as a family car? Obviously SUV are ideal but I like fast cars.
This could be a great option for a sedan if you want a sport car! Not the biggest thing out there. But still useful
The Toyota Yaris GR is a four wheel drive hot hatch. Toyota really should bring it to the United States.
This is manual only.
I've seen a few of the European RUclipsr's buying that car! Seems like a cool little hot hatch for sure. We have the Corolla hatchback but no manual!
I think Toyota should make the Corolla GR with the same 1.6 litre three cylinder from the Yaris GR, with both the manual and the automatic. Four wheel drive for both.
It would be interesting to see if the US market gets any of those!
The more trouble I have finding a Type R at MSRP the more tempting and STI gets.
I've seen a good amount of Type R's in the $30k range!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed they're listed at that and you call only for them to add 5 to 10k. I kinda refuse to buy a used car at 30 k anyways. I'll give it a few more weeks amd probably just get an sti or go cheap for an accord sport
Whichever car makes the most sense for you! I don't think I could spend that much on a Type R when the competitors are AWD and that's just FWD. It's cool, but can't hang with the STI!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed agreed. Couldn’t see myself paying that much for a Honda.
@@JM00914 I'm sure it's good, but not performance oriented really.
I just bought a Subaru WRX STI 2021 in September from the dealership and I am curious... Is it normal for the car to do a creaking nose when you steer all the way to the left or right while backing out of a parking spot or taking off in first gear. I just bought this car and it's interesting it would have a creaking noise as if the cv joints were already worn out or something when it's supposed to be a brand new car.
Hmm, could be that. Or maybe it's just normal sound since parts have to move. Could have dirt in there too
Why are you shifting from 4th to 6th
Why not? In a manual you can skip gears. I was at my cruising speed, no need to go into 5th just to go right into 6th. When you downshift you don't always go into consecutive gears. Beauty of a stick ;)
I thought those recarros weren’t optional but standard in the STi Ltd.?
They were around $4k I think on the window sticker so they were optional in this model. This wasn't a limited so maybe that's why.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed ah ok, no sunroof then. Yes, it is a option in that trim.
They omitted the intercooler sprayer this particular MY, you can see the blank button on the dash front panel. No bronze BBS wheels. I’m tempted but......I’m not committed. Maybe yes, maybe no for me.
@@johnnykwon8173 Yea it was missing a few things.
@@johnnykwon8173 Yea the bronze wheels really change the look in a good way!
That is nice.God. I think it's 27.01 in it.
It’s a cool Subaru!
I will work hard to buy this car
Awesome! STI is a fun car!
For us who live in the real world, that's:
393Nm @ 4000rpm
1542kg
0-97km/h (0-100km/h) @ 4.5s

4.6m overall length
1.8m width
1.48m height
Real world? lol. The US is kinda the leader in the world and we use the figures I stated ;)
Nothing wrong with being different. Thanks for the conversions
The “real world” can’t afford an STi so why does it matter anyway? 😂
Considering picking one of these up until the Cybertruck is ready? How is the resale on lightly used/stock ones?
These seem to hold value very well!
Went from a 2010 sti hatch to a bran new 2018 brz RU and currently trading my brz in for 25grand trade in while ordered a 2021 wrx sti sport tech, brz was fun but nothing compared to STI back to the turbo club !
Oh wow! Yeah that's a big jump from the BRZ back to the STI! It's definitely a fun sedan!!
Does this model still have the EJ Engine?
I'm not familiar enough with Subaru engines to know that specific
They should make a dct version of the Sti
Yeah that'd be cool! I know they do a CVT for the WRX. Can't imagine how boring that would be to drive lol. But a DCT would be great!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed my car right now is a 2017 Ford Focus with the dct. It’s quick but not fast like the sti. (Non turbo) but it can go through all gears and pull real hard if done right.
22 mpg on the high way wow that terrible very few people will buy that in the uk....
Yeah it's not the best for a 4 cylinder car. But this car is about performance not mpg lol
Got my 2020 STI in January. I love mine i modified it a little quickly haha.
That's awesome! These are really fun cars!
Brilliant review - We want to get our hands on one!
Thanks! The 2021 STI is a great car for sure. You'll enjoy checking one out
Does this year model have a type RA or s209 engine?
I'm not too sure. Some Subaru forums can probably help you with that
2019+ rec'd some of the type RA upgrades: new ecu tune, 3rd gear revision, a more free flowing exh sys, "upgraded" pistons, revised intake, & sodium filled exh valves.
Just sold my 2012 STi hatchback - considering this, a Type R, a GR Yaris or a Veloster N DCT.
Considering that since the VN PP isn't available locally in my country and I'd still have to import it, the price comes out to equal both my three other options. Any thoughts?
Type R is a great car! I'd go for that. It's a step above the Yaris and Veloster for sure. And no torque steer!
So does the Sti only come in manual?
I believe so! The WRX has an automatic version. But I can't see why someone would want that. kills the fun I think
$42 grand?? Well I guess the Civic Type R is comparable- have you fellas reviewed the Charger RT? Idk Subies have always had great respect in the import world- Good review Mike!
You ain’t getting a type r for less then 60k
@@SaceedAbul you must be shopping in Dubai cause in Chicago they're $39k $43k topps
The Civic Type R is also front wheel drive, so not as sporty as the Subaru! You get a lot of torque steer in that if you try to tune it for more power! We haven't reviewed the RT yet, but did the Scat Pack wide body! ruclips.net/video/6RV-dPQ0o7M/видео.html
I just found a 2017 with 48k miles for $34k! When the Civic Type R was new, dealers were marking them up to $60k which was ridiculous, but they aren't close to $60k anymore.
Yeah they aren't even close to $60k, new dealers were marking them up which was crazy to see!
I’m looking at getting one of these. I currently have a stage-4 Focus ST. Wondering if I should wait till next year to get the new model. Love the wing but that looks like automatic car washes are a no go lol, which is annoying.
Yeah this would need a touches car wash for sure. But the brushes scratch up paint, so you shouldn't go in those anyways. I'm not too sure on the pricing for the new STI. But they will probably be a nice update. If you enjoy your car no harm in waiting until it's out
Just bought and drove home a 2021 sti. Managed to snag one of these new at msrp. All I can say is.. ive had about 20 cars and this car being the most fun overall
I just sold my 2017 FiST because I got nearly what I paid for it. Put it all towards a 2021 WR Blue Sti. Loving it!!!!!!!! Never run your car through an auto car wash-yikes!
@@tonyr1615 why?
David Spade reviewing cars now these days lol
Yup, that's my side hustle now!
awesome bro
Oh yeah! Love this blue on the STI!
Do you have to get the Recaro seats to get the red seatbelts?
I'm not sure about that, but I don't think I've seen an STI without the recaros. I didn't see the seatbelts as an option either so I think that's standard.
no
Is there any subtle difference between the 2020 and 2021 STI?
Not that I saw! I reviewed a 2020 as well and they seem very similar!
Can make video on latest model of ferrari
I wish! We don't have much access to review Ferrari's but if we get the chance for sure!
What it's This Color From Subaru WRX STI
The color is faster?
@@ianholmquist8492 Just Kidding I want talk to Bross Fourr Speed

This is WR blue pearl! Classic Subaru blue!
How does it drive is it rough? Our golf r is terrible at bumps so I’m
Used to awful rides lol
ruclips.net/video/VRxl2wZPjls/видео.html
Heres a vid we made comparing this to the Audi S3. I think the STI rides fine. Not as comfortable as the Audi. You'd think the Golf R would be the same as the Audi tho since it's the same car underneath. But the S3 with magnetic ride is noticeable more comfortable than this. In Dynamic mode feels about the same as this.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed The R is awful, short wheelbase and super stiff, on the Canadian winter roads its horrific. I'll check out your other videos though thank you
Yeah I've never really been in one aside for a very old one. Not sure too much about it vs the S3
Love everything but the rims
Yeah they aren't anything too special looking. A lot of people put aftermarket wheels on these anyways
I thought I hated the wheels too until I saw them in person. They look mean af
I’ve always liked the WRX STI. Seems like a fun car. But that rear wing is a little too much! Wish they’d lower it about five inches. It just looks way too high.
I've always like them too! Maybe a few inches lower, but it's high enough for visibility out of the rear view mirror which is nice!
dude you forgot the water spray for the intercooler?
The STI has a feature like that stock?
What engine break in period ?
Normally the 500 miles should be driven under 4k rpm. Like I did on the test drive. Then the next 500 I get a bit more aggressive. After that doesnt really matter
Damn. Wish I had and could afford a STi. Definitely the superior car vs the wrx.
It's a lot more fun I think than the WRX, my friend just bought one with 30k miles on it for a decent price! That video will be coming soon!
I think I'll buy it..
Thank you!
Nice! Can't go wrong with the STI! Fantastic sportscar!
Ford focus rs or sti?
STI. Focus has a bouncy suspension and feels way slower then the STI
Can’t beat my genesis coupe
The Genesis Coupe was a fun car for sure. We owned two of them back in the day. This is pretty on par tho in performance stock for stock. But with mods both car can get pretty quick
You’re soooo cool
does it have adaptive cruise control, lane assist, blind spot detection, or any of those other features a lot of cars have standard now?
the sti top speed is 175 pretty sure
Yeah that is right, I reviewed a WRX a few days after this and found that out!
I love this
The STI is a fun sedan to drive!!
That will our first sports car to buy soon from Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Nice! Great choice!
I'm so sad because I can't see this car in my country🇵🇸 😢 because there's no one buying it and it's my dream car
Oh dang. Not available at all?
The Subaru WRX looks alright
I think you have to get the WRX in a color to look good, red, blue or even white!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed ok I think the red would look good
That's a good color for it to!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I know right 😎
Beautiful Sports Car.
It sure is! Can't go wrong with the Subaru blue!
Yep yep! Got mine in February. Love it. It is not the fastest car in a straight line (very driver dependent). But, the smiles in the corners and the old school split second turbo lag is wonderful. Running Cobb AP on HWG 91 map and logs out great with 93 pump. A lot more torque 3k up. ;).
Cool! These cars handle really well and are definitely a ton of fun in the turns!
I bet tuned it's even better!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed
Yeah honestly for someone that wants a minor bump in power that will not strain the motor at all (as long as maintenance/solid fuel used/ non abuse) it is a no brainer. Torque gains are are huge benefit for normal driving. Cobb ots 91 or protune it stage 1.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed
Plus... Cobb AP gives you launch control and flat foot shift. Huge! 💪🏻🏁👊🏻
Thats a great feature!
Thats a great enhancement for sure then! Going too crazy with mods makes these very unreliable. So a simple tune sounds pretty good!
They really need to finally overhaul the STI.
Yep but as soon as they do everyone will complain and want this gen back.
@@ianholmquist8492 Then they should just go buy a used one, they're everywhere.
I could see that! I believe 2022 has some changes coming so we'll see!
Haha yeah, you can't win with what people want! A new design would probably look to modern for what the buyers of a Subaru want maybe!
That's a good point too! Maybe we'll see some changes!
I'm so excited to get an STi! Would you recommend it as a second car? Also I currently drive a 2014 Sport Auto Lancer, would you know if the STi feels similar to drive/handle if you've ever driven a regular Lancer before? Can't really test drive a WRX/STi until I get on my full licence which is in about 2 years, laws are strict here in Australia, NSW. Awesome review anyways, keep it up!
The WRX is a fun car for sure, as a second car, that's up to you if you can afford that and want two vehicles! They are going to handle completely different! I've been in the lancer before and it's just like a normal sedan, the STI has completely different handling characteristics and is a lot more sporty! Glad you enjoyed the review and hopefully that helps!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed cheers for the reply, helps a lot! You mentioning it handles completely different and more sporty has gotten me even more excited, haha.
My dream car...!
Keep working towards it!! The Subaru WRX is such a fun sedan and this was a sweet STI spec for sure!
Idk man you just look right in an STI
Haha yeah! It's a sweet sedan for sure! Love how you could fit the family and still have a fun car to drive around in!

Yup, that's the start up for this Subaru WRX STI!
Great video as always!
I appreciate that, glad you enjoyed the Subaru review! I always love getting to drive these!
Great video. Not a whole lot of differences even between the 2017 STI... kind of disappointing.
Yeah this is still the same as the current generation. Hopefully 2022 will be an all new car!
2019 they added a new block
Great video bros 4 speed
Thanks 👍. It's a fun car to drive!
are they really fast 😳
They are quick cars. Not the fastest things out there. But an STI is a lot of fun!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed oh cool!
@silkawzzr600 Oh thats cool
How can I get one of these cars for free
Nothing comes free...You have to work hard to play hard! Only then can you reward yourself with a sweet purchase like this car! You have to keep working, and have the dedication to make small goals that eventually lead to the bigger goals! It feels great once you achieve that through the hard work and persistence! Keep working towards it!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed couldn't agree any more. Just turned the big 5-0! Rewarded myself after many years of hard work & saving to buy a 2021 Sti on my bday. Soooo happy
Why did you keep shifting from 4th to 6th?
Not really a need to use 5th gear since I'm not going that fast. Positive side of a manual is the ability to skip gears when needed
Just getting up to speed so once I'm cruising don't need to shift to 5th and then to 6th. You can skip gears in a manual.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed just because you can doesn't mean you should. Especially in a new vehicle. Good way to wear out the syncros. You can also shift without using the clutch, but that doesn't mean you should do it. You responded like you think I don't know anything about manuals. I noticed your shifting was pretty all over the place.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed 6th gear is od, and you were not going that fast for that long so it is doubtful that you even needed to bang it into 6th.
@@GFine79 It doesn’t hurt syncros at all to skip gears. There is no shift logic in a manual transmission. It doesn’t have to be consecutive gears. Why do you think a lot of new cars come with the shift lock out feature? The C7 corvette and many other newer manual cars lock you out of 2nd and you’ll go from 1st to 4th at slow speeds.

Nope. They stoped calling it an Impreza a long time ago. The base of this car is the WRX
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Oh got it! I'm totally convinced that the last year model and 2019 model still called Impreza, but you are right! The Impreza WRX Sti from 2007 and the 22B models will always be my favorite cars! 👍
Some months ago I bought a new car, the 2020 Ford Focus 1.0 125hp in blue color, similar like this one. For a reminder that the spirit of Subaru will be always with me, even in a Ford 😂😂😂
Love this version! Only lacks for the golden/yellow rims 😁Thanks for the video. You gained a new fan on the channel, today!

lol. This is my favorite generation of these to be honest. The new one I'm not a fan of. Looks too 'Subaruy'
