I had a 2020 wrx and now have a 22. I agree with you on the differences. All I had to do was drive a 22 vb to realize it is a superior car in every way and like you, loved my 2020.
You talking about this from a dad perspective was the most helpful part of this video. I’m a dad, and I’m planning to get a WRX in January for my 40th bday. Midlife crisis? Probably. I rarely see anyone talk about this car as a SEDAN. Such a refreshing take. Thanks dude.
I think the bumper and flares just took people by surprise. But every generation of WRX takes people by surprise. In another year or two, more folks will adapt to the looks. Ownership makes you adapt to it quickly, and I actually love how unique the whole package looks. I’ve only owned my VB for a week. Of course the VB handling so well and all that torque has helped me love it so much.
Super informative for us folks sitting on the sidelines. Sounds like most of the car’s cons would have been addressed in an STI trim… but alas, the Subaru gods have refused those requests. Still looks like a great car… especially for the price in the current landscape of performance sedans and hatchbacks.
@@chrischarles9218 haha this video I went with a chill vibe because I'd like to write a riff just for the intro. It's only like 5 seconds so this riff needs to be AMAZING.
😂😂 The baby chair was super funny to me when you brought it out. I’ve had a 2004 WRX, 2005 WRX Wagon, 2007 STi for 8 years and now my 2022.. the VB is by far my favorite car in every aspect. Still stock for now, kind of waiting for more R&D to be done with aftermarket parts, I only want to buy the best stuff one time and not change it every few months when new revisions come out.. I’ve had it since August and it has 1700 miles on it. I only drive short distances as I live in a really populated area and everything is super close. I think it’s a beautiful car and I’m #teamhoneycomb all day. This is an AWD rally car, not a Porsche sports car like some people tend to believe. Thanks for all the work you’re doing for the platform, I def enjoy every video !
Lol that baby chair is for the whole family! Yea I like the idea of waiting but then...I am also impatient 😅. Yea when I get in the snow and dirt I'm happy to know most of the rocks are hissing all the plastic on the underside and fenders. Feels good.
@@HeavyMetalWRX mad respect for the path you're taking with the VB and content. Hushing some of the haters and taking souls too. Awesome to hear after all those runs, still running like new and smooth.! Can't wait to see how the STI transmission install goes. I think this is a legit special WRX with how it handles and engine potential. People still compliment on the new design and how it looks sick. Pictures don't do justice.
Great video. Personally, I was always okay with the look, then over time I grew to love. I have always thought of the wrx as a rally inspired car, and the fenders just make sense for off-road driving. Also, I think the body shape is an improvement from previous models.
I’m on my second 22 WRX. The other one was Sapphire Blue and now I’m rocking the Ignition Red. It’s my fifth new WRX. The first one being a 2011 WRX when I was 20 and bought the car without knowing how to drive stick. Then I got a 2015 WRX, then a 2018 WRX and then two 22s. I left once for a GTI but back to Subaru. If I had the money I would probably get a Golf R tho. Either way I love this car and doing a FULL sound system already with less than 1k miles on the Ignition Red WRX that was built December. I always get the six speed manuals but would be open to a DCT if they had one like the GTI. That was the only automatic car I ever owned and it was not too shabby.
Did not know this car had voice commands 😂 also you should get a good cold start of your car on video so everyone can see how loud it is! hella excited for the future of the car! 🤘🏿
Haha dude it's so loud my mic clips haha. I'll have to do some sort of audio control test. Yea man the voice commands work pretty well. I'll be doing a full video test on that. It's pretty fun.
I know dude. The issue is lately the weather had been really bad every faym the. Next week it's rain almost 5 days. Soon I hope to get back out there. I had 2 1v1s scheduled but weather kept us from connecting.
@HeavyMetalWRX everytime I shift I can feel the syncros still spinning into the gear. It feels like the pedal is not depressed enough, even though I have the pedal pressed down to the floor
Nice video. I love my 22 Sapphire Blue. I can't wait to tune it but I want to use up the drivetrain warranty first. So I drive it everywhere I can. The lack of armrest SUCKS though. That's annoying. I sum this car up as basically the reincarnation of the 2005 to 2008 Legacy 2.5GT.
I have a 2019 Wrx and drag race it and do the occasional mexico runs. Last year on the drive home from work the 3rd gear shift fork snapped in half. I had it rebuilt and put a fx400 clutch in it and it only lasted me a year when it again broke on my way home (3rd gear shredded its teeth)decided to pull the trigger and do the sti drivetrain swap and it makes a huge difference and is the best mod I've done to the car (also most expensive). For sure wait until your transmission let's go but it really is not worth it to rebuild or buy a new wrx transmission. Don't make my mistake and waste money on weak transmission especially if you want to make more than 370tq.
I've got a 2022 base. This summer I will spend half with 0W-20 and half with 0W-30 or 0W-40, performing a Blackstone oil analysis on each. The one with less wear is the one I'll go with.
I am in S. TX and gonna switch over to 5w30 Motul in a few months. In our weather I will feel it will be fine year round with 5w30 and I appreciate you doing the work on the mpg differences. My wife’s q5 is a different story. I run Motul specific 0w20 508/509 since that is what Audi requires. She occasionally goes in dynamic mode but she does not beat on it. I will take Subaru engine problems vs Audi any day. 😂
Thanks so much! I'm glad I helped in some way. Those are both great cars but if you're looking to make easy power the WRX wins that battle any day. Personally I'd love to have both for different reasons. I love the shape of the new GR86/BRZ.
I felt exactly the same way you currently do in regards to coilovers. Anytime I have lowered a car in the past, I've had to sacrifice comfort and reliability. I ended up biting the bullet and going with FortuneAuto Gen 8 500s, and my God, the ride is actually more comfortable than stock/way more responsive. I was reluctant at first, but my friends with VBs ended up going with Cyngus and FA, both having great experiences. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Cyngus and FortuneAuto are both the same people, but either way, nothing but glowing reviews about Cyngus from friends I've talked to, and I can personally say that my FortuneAutos are the best coilovers I've ever had. The con of course is not being able to safely run a front lip since all the current ones do hang pretty low. I hope in the future there will be an aftermarket lip that doesn't drag down. The OEM one seems to be a safe height, but that's a lot of money to gamble smashing up hahaha. Keep up the awesome content man!
Oh man Geoff Cygnus and I have a rocky history. When I had 100 subscribers I made my first video and post it on the FB group he runs. He got into an argument with me for 3 hours. I didn't curse at him, I didn't call him names, I didn't even say anything negative. I was defending another person's pov and he went batshit crazy on me. Said I was worthless, my channel is garbage, I'm garbage, I don't know anything, I'm old etc etc. I still have screen shots. Then he kicked me out of the group. I joined the one I'm in now and he FOLLOWED ME to post on my posts about how he gets 10000s of views on TikTok and I'll never be anything. I know this has nothing to do directly with Cygnus but he is an awful person and his coilovers are just rebranded. There are entire subreddits dedicated to people he has fought with. I can never support him. 🤣
@@HeavyMetalWRX Oh Jesus! Man FB is a toxic place and that's extremely unprofessional for someone that leads a brand to behave like that. I won't name names, but I too have dealt with similar behavior from a leader of a well known company in the community, so I can completely empathize there. I don't blame you man. I'm sorry that all happened :(
Great video. Stick with 5w30 GF-6 oil. It's the sweet spot for viscosity with the current oil technology. There is no need to order some special exotic oil either (not talking about Amsoil because they are pretty good) The big name oil brands provide WAY better protection and are half the price.
These are the stock Dunlops on Vors TR4 18x9.5 +22 offset. So I got this one sorry from a company called "onecarstereo". It functions as a wireless Android Auto. Except it doesn't work for my car. It works for my wife's Volvo 🤣. I was so mad. I've had it for 2 months. I'll look into the Motorola one because I'd love to have wireless AA. Do you have a link ?
I have a 22 WRX with around 3500km now. The clutch pedal also squeaks, but only when it's cold. I might try spraying some lubricant on the pedal assembly. If you haven't already asked this in Tuner Talk, would 0w-30 be a good alternative for performance driving with good cold weather starting? Thanks!
@heavymetal, have you made a video about the rtv or whatever it’s called, I know u know about it but haven’t found a vid on the issue and solution. I feel like it needs to be addressed.
So been talking to all the tuners and techs I've found so far. I believe people are blowing it out of proportion. It does need to be resolved but it's not an immediate issue. All my oil changes have been 100% clean so far and when killer b comes out with their secondary pickup up then I'll drop the oil pan and do the cleanup/ install.
STI box. Not sure how much will be involved, but I would be looking to buy a used box etc, and have it rebuilt. I think Tanner had a gearbox guy that might be economical to use.
I've been talking to Misha at Ecotech and he's going to start putting together a plan and numbers and .....price 🤣. I think it's time to start that GoFundMe.
@@NoRulzRacing it's gonna be costly. Trying to figure out how we're gonna do it. I think Ecotech will help cover some of the labor cost and help sourcing the parts. Others have mentioned selling merch and opening a donations box. I highly doubt my stickers are going to bring in $5000 😂😂
Hey question how would you rate the Base speakers in the WRX (Not the Harmon Kardons). I'm looking to buy one of these in a Premium trim and music flow in my car is a big thing.
If you want to listen to music I would suggest getting the speaker upgrade and installing them yourself. There's many videos and you can get great sound for about $300-400. This way you can pick the speakers you want. The HK package is $1800 and comes packaged with the sunroof. I will eventually be upgrading my speakers as well because I love music. The base speakers are terrible beyond belief and I feel like the HK is too expensive.
@@IsaiahEBelk for sure! If you go that route lmk I have a few content creator friends that have done the upgrade. You can check out @flatline_wrx , he has done the install and is an audiophile. Might be up your alley. 🤘🙏
I don't think I fully understand the question. Are you wanting to know if the infotainment comes with apple car play? If so both the base and premium displays come with it.
@@AlanAnt my mistake. I assumed that since I plugged it in for Android Auto that it was assumed that CarPlay also requires a cable. I don't have an iPhone so sometimes I forget the apple crowd 😂
No issues yet. I think we will just keep it the way it is. When killer b releases their secondary pickup then I'll drop the oil pan, examine, and install this.
@@doa1124 I wouldn't worry too much. What happened to the BRZ was a specific instance and since then we haven't had any issues. The WRX has a 360 pickup which means even if one side had some rtv it doesn't effect it's oil pickup. I believe it's really blown out of proportion.
Im not just yet. I am waiting for killer b to drop their secondary basket. Once they do I'll drop the oil pan for the install. I think it'll be ok the way it is.
@@HeavyMetalWRX I’m not hurt thankfully, it was mostly all undercarriage damage. I loved the car but I’m probably going to finance a different kind of sports car just to try new things. I still have my bugeye wrx anyways I guess
@@HeavyMetalWRX I wish! I’m thinking cheaper tbh like a used c6 corvette or something around the 30k price range I’m gonna take a break from payments for a couple months first tho
At the time they were the cheapest white wheel I could find. $782 for 4 18x9.5s. I may be a TH-camr but I don't have that Smeedia budget 😂. I have upgraded since to some Cosmis Racing XT206r
I had a 2020 wrx and now have a 22. I agree with you on the differences. All I had to do was drive a 22 vb to realize it is a superior car in every way and like you, loved my 2020.

@@dw7284 that's good to hear. Well that's cool you can drive something new. What did you have in mind? Supra ? 😎
@@HeavyMetalWRX I wish! I’m thinking cheaper tbh like a used c6 corvette or something around the 30k price range I’m gonna take a break from payments for a couple months first tho
Why did you put on those cookie cutter rims….
At the time they were the cheapest white wheel I could find. $782 for 4 18x9.5s. I may be a TH-camr but I don't have that Smeedia budget 😂. I have upgraded since to some Cosmis Racing XT206r
Don’t lower it…
I want to lower it at least .5 inches. Lower center of gravity and slightly better fitment. I don't want to go crazy.
Soft suspension ??? Lol. It's a bouncy buggy go kart. Word.
Lol I tried to be gentle...UNLIKE THE SUSPENSION.
10k means nothing
10k in a year no, 10k in months half per half being tuned...I think there's some information to report.
