#072/209 owner here. Boost hits 22psi. My 4th Subaru, this one has the best balance. Love it. But I do miss the rumble and was hoping for 400hp but that’s okay
I wish I could afford but for my second Subaru it’s cheaper to just buy an sti and swap for a built closed deck 257 and rotated. Much cheaper like $40k
This car tickles me, too, Miles🤣 Love the visceral, old school, theatric feel of these STI’s. Hope they hold onto that as much as they reasonably can for the next gen WRX/STI. It’s easy to laugh the S209 off as just another special edition WRX, but it sounds like these are some pretty legit upgrades! I’m not enough of a Subaru collector enthusiast to shell out the $64k, so I’d probably just get a regular STI and make these changes myself.
This is a VERY special car and I think it looks great with those flared fenders. I think it looks BEAUTIFUL it is a manual and it is a corner carver! I applaud Suburau for finally bringing it to us. It is a handcrafted, INSTANT collectible for those who can afford it and make no mistake, the price will only go up in the aftermarket after these 209 are sold out. With that said, for me, right now, with my job this is a hard sell. If I did not have my two cars right now I could get one but I really need two cars for me and my family. Good thing this car is sporty and has a usable back seat and trunk which "might" make it an easier sell if you are trying to convince your wife. Congrats to those who can afford it because they will have something very special on their hands. This is one of those cars that will go under the radar for the masses except for those in the know and they will appreciate it for what it is. Thanks for sharing. BTW If I had the money I would go for the pearl white and gold rims.
I love this car, but I would consider it only if it cost $45k which for some it still might be expensive, but considering its rarity $45k is good. For $64k if I was looking for a smaller car, I would get a BMW M2 Competition with a manual. If it had to be 4 doors I would get an Audi RS3, but the car I would really get would be a Dodge Charger Widebody Scat Pack.
Great review Miles. I agree that the tact on fender flares and other holes look aftermarket and are not attractive. For $65k I'm going Shelby GT350 but that is me. This STI is overpriced by at least $10k when looking at what was done. The engine internals upgrade on the engine is what I find most attractive about this STI. The intercooler spray button is my favorite button.
Totally, Blake. The engine upgrades and inter cooler spray is awesome, but $65K is steep considering what else is available at that price (it’s GT350 for me too!)
They are taken off the Subaru production line, and shipped to Koryo Kogyou, the Subaru specialist vehicle factory abut 30 minutes away. They can only produce 2 cars each day. STI is the registered manufacturer, not Subaru. Same for my S208 #78/450. Even though I bought it three years ago, I could sell it here for the same price, maybe a little more as mine is relatively low mileage.

That’s awesome! Glad you enjoy the car and I completely understand why you bought it 👍

No sunroof, standard tail lights, no fog and standard exhaust, Come on for that price to many other cars to choose
60k for a freakin subaru 🤢
it’s an STI.
What's wrong with that?
It’s not that bad of a price for a legendary sports car..
That’s the comment all broke people who can’t afford one say.
i own a white S209❤ good review.

buy a base STI and buy all of the exact upgrades that the S209 has. Guess what? It’s coming out to way more than $65k.
I have the car number 7, but WRX is no where on this car. STI made the car S209 Is the trim level. Very nice video man keep up the good work.
Very cool to have an owner comment! Thank you 🙏

Do you still have #7, join us on S209 Facebook group page.
I love it 🔥♥️
I think golden wheels with blue is much better than golden with white..
the seats are nice
Best car best marque and powerful sti ever thanks bro
Im buying a hellcat for that amount
I’m buying a used 991 Porsche 911 for that price.
Can get a used gtr for tht price lol
good for you. You can always buy something else for the same amount.
Nice Car👍😎🇵🇭💯
33:54 shits booooolllinnn, u should definitely put the driving impressions first lol
did uk that modt of the us s209's are being shipped to japan
What year is it???
Its badass...but not 60k badass
64000 dollars and you still don't get white led bulbs what kind of sh**
Really surprised you didn’t show the engine bay :/
cool bro
Saludos 👌🏾😂💫
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
For the 209 fenders flars on the front peace doesn't fit on the us wrx why is that?
I'm not sure 🤷♂️
Or you could buy a COMPLETELY optioned out Scat Pack for $10k less.
You definitely could. Completely different driving experience, though. Love the Scat Pack, but it’s different
No.
えっ？ S209？ 北米スバル限定販売 名前の通り209台限定
Id get the regular sti then put varis parts with bronze te or black advan gt heck even white regas fuk it
i rather buy a scat pack
Real close
65000€ ??? No way subaru , i take m2 CS one year use for this money
Disliked cus the price is way too much 💀
Bro dis just a review bro why dislike
@@prathameshpawaskar4136 ok lol i removed it
@@arya_x2 tq
It’s actually priced very well considering all the upgrades they added. Adding them to a base STI on tour own would cost you way more than 65k.
That 64 k price tag seems competitive
Nah
Love scoobies, this is ridiculously priced. No thanks....
Thats what all broke people who can’t afford one say.
340 HP??? Sorry subaru I take bmw m340i
