One thing I love about Cameron's community, is no matter what car he posts about that he does or doesn't like they always support. this video has near 1k views now with near 100 likes, no dislikes
The hatches were always my favorite WRX’s. I wish Subaru would bring them back. Those wheels do fit that body style much better than the sedan they came off of.👌🏽 plus you can’t beat that old school Boxer motor sound. The new ones don’t sound like that. Edit..always leave manuals in gear when you shut them off,lol!!
The hatchback might come back. Look up the 2022 Subaru wrx teaser video. There’s a part where you pause it, you can see the outline of what appears to be a hatchback shape, it’s just hard to tell because there’s so much dirt in the video and the camera isn’t focused in on it well, but we’ll find out in about 15 days when Subaru finally unveils it at the New York auto show.
That's one of my fave bodies/configs for the wrx, that 4dr hatch is just so good looking. Wide body looks sick, but I honestly don't understand the hate on a "narrow" body.
You leave the car gear for Safety purposes because if you park on a incline and your parking break fails your car will Roll down the hill if it’s not in gear. In a automatic car park basically leaves the car sorta kinda in gear because it puts a parking peg in a gear preventing the car from moving if the parking break fails. So it’s basically a fail safe for both if you’re parking break fails. Hopefully that helps. My parking break has failed twice on my 2001 Corvette so I always personally make sure to leave it in gear.
That’s my dream car and I will be getting one this week. I am so excited!!! I have been dreaming about this car since I was 8 years old because my dad just to own one when I was 10, he was a rally car racer so that’s why I love cars.
just sold my 9th subaru wrx which is the same model as this one. I think it will be my last haha. amazing cars, very reliable and all of mine were typically 300whp, and have been documented on my channel just having more fun with rwd these days, but there will always be a subaru sized hole in my heart :P
Awesome video Cameron! That’s one nice car!! The owner was a super nice young man! I loved how willing and nice he was to let you drive his baby!! I love that we all have different cars, different taste in cars and different budgets but the cool thing is the love and passion for cars is the same! Keep up the incredible content Cam!! God bless! 😀🙏🏻🚙👍🏽
Great job introducing us to other cars Cam. Almost bought a WRX STI but went with the Si instead. Both are good, fun cars. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Good review...and I personally never left my car in neutral when it’s parked, especially with a e brake switch Hahahaha, seriously stressed listening to you guys.
We leave a car in gear while it's off so the car doesn't move when parked. For instance, u parked on a hill, u would leave it in first just in case ur e brake fails, the car doesn't roll backwards. Same as if u park ur car downhill or slight hill, u should leave it in reverse so if the the e brake fails, your car wont roll forward. 😉
I got a narrow body 2010 wrx, currently making 470whp on a built motor and a 3071r bb turbo, let him know that the clutch squeak is the firewall, they have 5 spot welds and they suck to balls and need to get it rewelded or drill the stock spot welds and replace them with bolts
@@mavallarino probably not, I used humblerumble bolts, basically bolts with a Allan key hole in them and a bolt so you don’t have to strip the entire dash to get to it, just drill it out and fish a wire through. Few videos up on RUclips about it. But do check your clutch pedal near where it goes through the firewall. Mine also had a crack in it with the spot welds being cracked
The older generation is wise. Among other reasons already listed, leaving it in gear on a relatively flat surface allows u to minimize wear and tear on the e brake. Don’t even need to use it.
So I had a situation that happened to me. I had my car parked at work. Someone bumped into my car and it rolled and side swiped anther car and rolled into the woods at the back of the parking lot and hit a tree. Of course the person who hit my car drove away. So I was not able to catch them. I had to get two tow trucks to lift my car out of the woods so they didn't wreck my ground effect moulding. I reported the accident to cop whom gave me a strong talking to as it appeared my car was not in gear and my e brake failed. So long story short, always park car in gear with e brake. Kind regards, Race Mom
I just bought one of these at 19 working 30 hour weeks and mine was sitting in a field for 8 months and I knew nothing about the car but going through the paper work whilst taking it apart I found that the engines been built full forged internals and I’m in the UK so it’s covered in spiders and moss but it’s come up good. It’s been my favourite Subaru for so long mines world rally blue with the gold alloys
I never leave my car in gear when I shut it off. I know I should as an extra safety measure in case the ebrake fails, but I’ve just gotten into the nasty habit of keeping it in neutral, so whenever I try to leave it in gear, I find myself stalling it constantly forgetting I’m in gear.
leaving a car in gear has a purpose, if youre forward facing lets say down a hill, leave it in reverse incase the handbrake fails, and leave it in first if the nose is inclined.
I have the same car and the firewall ending up flexing and cracking. The subaru shop told me it was an issue with that year. I was wonderig if he had ever dealt with any issues similar to that.
i owned an 05 sti up until two years ago when it unfortunately got totalled. i have since then moved to a brz and sure, it's nowhere near as fast, but the driving experience is just too good.
I too have an 09 hatch wrx, in gray. The motor on it was bad and got it for dirt cheap. I've swapped it for a jdm ej20x (i think a legacy gt motor) since and i've noticed a dip in power but still fun to drive. I have the old turbo still (which is bigger). Might swap it and do some mods for a little bit more power. Not really sure how I should go about it though.
You should drive a GC, these things are as raw as it gets. My very first car was a Wrx swapped GC in 2012. Had the itch ever since. Also had a sleeper 04 Fxt. I now daily drive a 2011 Impreza hatch. Same as this without the oomph. Still fun to drive.
My Kubota RTV-XG850 Sidekick utility vehicle has a 40 horsepower Subaru engine in it. It’s good so far. I think Kubota actually ended up buying the engine plant. Don’t quote me on that.
Just bought an 08 wrx 4 door 5 speed and I love it.. Dunno why no one else does. It's ash grey with the same rims on this 09. She looks great. I like that no one else likes it I guess. I like to be different I guess. It's my 1st WRX and I have a stupid question.. Are these hi revving engines or low shift for torque?
I have a 19si coupe, but I always love the 2014 hatch STI and the blob eye sti. reliability is the only thing that is keeping me away from buying one. Hondaru for life ♥️♥️♥️
@BMO the ringland failure, I know the newer WRX and STI are way better but they don't really catch me the same way as the older model. The older wrx sti are hit or miss from what Ive heard. (Plus many other mechanical problems)
Does this car have no tune? Running that intake without a tune is a big problem (runs lean) and would explain the backfiring. They dont do that with a proper tune.
Can fallin real hard for that Subbie ;) 😂❤️ they do sound mad nice tho. Way louder than any Si. Something about it. Just raw in general like ya said about the steering lol
Ok my mom and I going on a road trip Thursday,my SI will be left with my husband,as he has the civic SI sedan,and we need room.I made him drive my car too make sure he knew how too drive a 6 speed....um let’s just say when we got bac,my blood pressure was sky high...I don’t even want too go and leave with him for 3 days...any advise?
I have a 09 wrx with 60k miles there is a decently loud whine in 1st and 2nd and a little in 3rd im not sure what it is or if its normal the car is bone stock. my only idea is it could be the clutch. anyone know what this could be
Check the spot welds on the clutch bracket, they can be seen through the wiper grill, look at the spots and step on the clutch and you will see that the sound comes from there, the bracket that brings poor quality welds.
I own a 2009 Impreza WRX (Sedan) that I got for 10k and I will say I had a lot of maintenance done (it’s what you do with older cars) I want to do more to it but I can’t afford too right now 😭
When you do, you should put unequal length headers on it. It’s a little less efficient, but that Subaru rumble is so unique and makes for fun at all speeds.
Should do a widebody one next hmu👀 lol, he doesn’t know any better he’s only 18 but he needs to realize that he had it backwards , Recirc or BOV hybrid at least isn’t bad for your car no tune , Intake is lol
Ill gladly review another one! I tried to record some cinematic shots of this one but they cane out pretty shaky so I didnt use them. I was gonna make a whole montage with music and all. DM me on instagram if you’re down!
I got another Honda to achieve my long term goals. Next year, ill be getting the second gen BRZ / GR86, and trading in my 2020 si. So in order to keep a lot of my honda subscribers, I still need to have a honda on my channel when i transition over

I grew up on a farm. We left all manual transmission in gear when we parked. We’re talking about 50’s, 60’s, 70’s vehicles including the tractors.
With a big push on the World Rallye Championship in the 90s ,Subaru hit scene with their AWD Impreza. Those cars was unbeatable.

Ahh!! I have a 2010 and I recently blew it up😞 This is making me miss it so much I can’t wait until it’s up and running again
If you don’t mind me asking, how did it blow? What mileage were you at?
I feel old knowing you were a kid who wanted one and I got mine when I was 29. Still have it! Low mileage and all too.
I love my 2012 wrx. Been nothing but a good car and great community

I got a narrow body 2010 wrx, currently making 470whp on a built motor and a 3071r bb turbo, let him know that the clutch squeak is the firewall, they have 5 spot welds and they suck to balls and need to get it rewelded or drill the stock spot welds and replace them with bolts

Leave it in gear parked. If you forget to put the e brake on....have fun looking for you car when it rolls. Ask me how I know 😌
@@novocaine009 that’s rough partner

You gotta try my Hawkeye WRX if you like the raw lightweight feel. My buddy has a 2012 and drove mine and said going back to his felt like a boat.
I’d love to try your Hawkeye
Is a Hawkeye really that much lighter? Google isn’t super clear but seems like maybe 100 lbs?
I got a my09 too and they r sick. Great car's. Love hatches.
I never leave my car in gear when I shut it off. I know I should as an extra safety measure in case the ebrake fails, but I’ve just gotten into the nasty habit of keeping it in neutral, so whenever I try to leave it in gear, I find myself stalling it constantly forgetting I’m in gear.
Haha same man. I feel like I’m hurting the car stalling on a cold start so I just leave it in neutral too haha

How can you have blow off valve noise without a BOV? Impossible
Ive never understood why the hate on the narrow body. I miss my 09 dgm hatch. When done right, it’s just too hard not to stare at. Nicely done!
Got my Subaru 2 months ago and the engine has been out of the car twice now lmao they're fun until they break and then break again and again
do u know if this is only a problem with the turbo versions?

Keep up the content man! Excited to see how the 9th gen comes out. Are you going to raceworz?
5:51 that face 😂
I've wanted one of these for so long but they're so expensive in ontario
Get a protune for the intake. 09s are already a bit lean from factory.
The Subie wave got to love ettttt ....👍
sweet whip !!! MY CLUTCH PEDAL DOES THAT ANNOYING SQUEEK NOISE , HOW CAN I GET RID OF IT ??
Did I miss something or are the only performance mods the intake and exhaust?
Dude the Silver is fucking mintttttt. i have mine in silver and the compliments & looks i get all the time are the best feeling haha
what exhaust is that running? Sounds mint.
Yeah, why didn’t he talk about the exhaust. It’s def not stock.

What’s the mod list on this?
I've always wanted one as well. Ive heard they're expensive to fix up. Not sure how truth that is.
2020 Honda Civic Hatchback 6 speed? Would be dope to see your opinions on it
Ill tru to find someone to let me review theirs! Thanks for the suggestion
What lip does he have installed on it?
Best choice told you the speed 3 would be a bad choice and better get a 9th gen si or 2009 up wrx great choice have fun 👍
I just bought a 9th gen
Ok my mom and I going on a road trip Thursday,my SI will be left with my husband,as he has the civic SI sedan,and we need room.I made him drive my car too make sure he knew how too drive a 6 speed....um let’s just say when we got bac,my blood pressure was sky high...I don’t even want too go and leave with him for 3 days...any advise?

Check the spot welds on the clutch bracket, they can be seen through the wiper grill, look at the spots and step on the clutch and you will see that the sound comes from there, the bracket that brings poor quality welds.

how much are the insurance?
You still gotta drive my 2014 Hatch pro tuned ;)
Along with a short throw and cosmetics it looks likew
Does he have a tune? Gonna need one with that intake or exhaust. AFR is gonna be all fucked up on that EJ
I hated Subarus before I drove a 2014 Wrx. And then I couldn’t get enough. Something odd about them. But it’s a good kind of odd.
I own a 2009 Impreza WRX (Sedan) that I got for 10k and I will say I had a lot of maintenance done (it’s what you do with older cars)
I want to do more to it but I can’t afford too right now 😭
Looks like Cam may be joining the Subie Gang sometime in the future.
He should. I said this way back
Ill join the subie crew in about 9-10 months when the next gen BRZ/GR86 comes out
Cameron Hill nice!
When you do, you should put unequal length headers on it. It’s a little less efficient, but that Subaru rumble is so unique and makes for fun at all speeds.
When I get it, whenever it comes out, i’ll be doing just about everything available
Will you guys race soon ? 🤔
Yes! Always check the description bro! Have a nice day
when i was 18 i had 1.0L 58hp corsa lol
Should do a widebody one next hmu👀 lol, he doesn’t know any better he’s only 18 but he needs to realize that he had it backwards , Recirc or BOV hybrid at least isn’t bad for your car no tune , Intake is lol

Any idea what he paid for it? Just got almost the same car stock same color and year with 89k
I think he said about $16k
Cameron Hill do you know how many miles?
I think a little over 100k
What tune is on this?
No tune at this time
Not the wisest to run intake without a tune. I have a 2013. You’d like it even more with a tune :)
Bro I told you, to get a older wrx /sti when you was looking at a second car. Being that you already have a Honda.
