Bro, I literally just got my first manual, ever, 3 days ago. A 2019 wrx sti, and this video really gave me a lot of insight on this car. I can’t wait to watch more. I have A LOTTTT to learn man. I’m loving it so far. Mines was definitely a garage queen 😂 only 20k miles for it being 5 years old
Had the same exact reasons for getting my 2018 STI. For the price, it's hard to find the driving connection in another car. The performance, community, tunable nature and practicality sold me. Great vid as always man! Definitely got a benchmark with your car!
dream drivetrain set up for me right now would be FA20, STI trans and diffs, reinforced connecting rods. I love my Stage 2 WRX and I love the FA20DIT but man I wish I had the burliness of an STI drive train.
this!! an STi with an FA20DIT would be my dream setup. having the DCCD would make handling track days like a dream while having pretty good fuel efficiency.
Had an FA WRX and weighed out the pros and cons between the Sti. Soooo I traded in my stage 2 FA 330whp/350ft lb torque for a 2018 Sti. Made that decision after seeing the new WRX 🤮 I know the sti will be different when released but lipstick on a pig can only do so much. Sooo when my EJ25 blows in my Sti I have the options of swapping in the FA20/24 with the beefy drive train and Brembos. To me that was cheaper an less labor intensive than sti swapping a FA WRX. I'm doing the reverse FA24 swapping the VA chassis Sti 😎🙌🤌
@@markayala I know the FA24 will bolt up to the Sti transmission. I'm crossing fingers it'll just be a custom motor mount situation and use a different ECU 🤔 check out Prime Motoring for their Crosstrek FA24 swapped putting down almost 600whp stock block and heads 😳 I think this will be the motor swap of gods once we get some good aftermarket on it 🤞
@@CarsWithJR Thank you! Yea, I had always heard the whole mechanical feeling thing before, but can completely relate now after driving it for a bit; honestly felt the difference as soon as I put it in 1st for the first time and started to pull away. I did drive both before purchasing the WRX, but I was coming from an '07 Civic Si, so everything felt more "solid" and an upgrade from that. After driving the WRX for two years, I can definitely appreciate the difference now. It truly is a different driving experience. It has character. I chuckled when you mentioned passing on the "Recaro" seats in your video. Thankfully, I had learned they are not even the full seat, but just the upper, backrest part. Lame. This time around I specifically asked for a Base STi with the shortshifter and none of the other upsells. In contrast, my WRX was a fully loaded Limited. What I wanted on there already came standard now on the STi (keyless entry/push start, LED/ steering responsive headlights, leather). The only thing I miss is the Harman Kardon stereo system, but w/ Android Auto/ Apple Carplay the upgrade value just isn't there (maybe if the speaker system was packaged separately). I'll be swapping these out for a much better value later. I never used the nav and would just use Waze on phone anyway. These are just my opinions, of course. The WRX was a TON of fun at the end of the day.
The two main reasons I opted out of the sti were for the outdated high maintenance ej25 and it’s fuel mileage. I had a buddy tell me he’s squeezing 30 mpg on the highway in his wrx and how the fa20’s twin scroll setup having rpm torque I immediately thought. SOLD. Perfect for autox 😂😂
right? when he mentioned Subaru should partner with Porsche, I was shaking my head. I own a Subaru, my favorite brand since a kid is Porsche, but hell no. To co-develop, maybe, but to outright use a Porsche engine, like what Toyota has done, nope.
Honest assessment indeed.The VA series WRX and STI are not for everybody and have definite issues. The smiles/mile however are hard to beat especially when you start modifying.
I just traded in my 2019 STi with about 6k miles on it and got basically the original MSRP back out of it. Much happier with my '21 Tacoma. I always wanted an STi but waiting until I was 53 to get one was silly.
yeah i agree, funny review. It's the raw feeling of driving it. They still have the manual handbrake too. Boxer rumble? shit you dont get in the modern 40k sports cars anymore. Everyone got a damn ipad in their car nowadays. I would still choose the sti over any of their competitors for the driving experience which includes the raw feeling with hydraulic steering, boxer rumble sound, visibility, looks, etc.
PSA: As far as warranties go, shopping around for a good dealership is just as important as shopping for a good price. Some dealers will refuse warranty work even if the car is stock, because they care more about the bottom line than a good relationship. (Remember, warranty work is not free-you may not pay for it, but a dealer will). When inquiring about a car, ask around at the dealership’s service desk. If any of the service managers have or have had WRX or STI, you’re likely in good hands. They are more likely to be sympathetic when issues arise. Ask around on Facebook or forums to see what service experience is like at a particular dealer, etc. If looking at a used WRX or STI elsewhere and not a Subaru dealership, make sure you buy an aftermarket warranty not associated with that dealership. (E.g., if you buy your STI from Chevy, don’t buy the warranty they will try to force on you.) There are plenty of other options, like Fidelity or AAA, who default to dealership recommendations on what works needs to be done, and then will then pay for that work. Make sure you establish a service relationship with a Subaru dealer before issues arise.
Love your vids and build. Simple and clean. I actually traded in my wrx for an sti lol. I must ask why is the sti most hated car on the street. I also get random pickups reving at me. I get Kia and Camry’s right on my ass. It’s on coils and wheels only right now.
I think a new engine isn't a bad thing but they will definitely go from hydraulic to electric power steering in the swap which will deaden some of the great raw feel this car has. Cant wait to see what the new sti has in store and more importantly how much more will they now cost. If they pull a last gen wrx where they upped the power and sold it for a but cheaper than last gen then the sti will take the crown in the segment
@@CarsWithJR one more thing the old hydraulic also gives you better feel what really you have under tires in winter icy and snowy conditions. Electric steering is misleading if you not very experienced with winter driving. Everything else in video you just nail perfectly👍 love and enjoy your straight to the point and no bulshit output man. Keep up good work on them videos. Definitely will look up on your IG man. Cheers from snowy🇨🇦 Mike
I have a 20/20 and I'm putting mileage on it about the same rate you are it's just too fun to leave at home. Everything you said about the driving physicality and so forth it's there just like I real race car not an Xbox game. Thanks for the video
awesome video man I'm in my 3 year in my wrx I still love mine even though it not an STI I still have fun in it. keep up the good work mate love from Philadelphia PA
wanna trade my sti for a type R so bad, type R is the best looking vehicle around this price range. But after driving with that rumble out from tomei, I changed my mind. Nothing can beat that rumble!!
I like the VA interiors. They work good enough for me. I have a 16'. I REALLY wish I had the 6 pots. You have the same Cobb AP dash mount that I have. I just need it installed along with a dozen other things. And I just noticed you have Washington plates. Your winters must be rough. Keep the content coming!
Hey man great video Your car looks awesome! I didn’t want the WRB till I saw what you did to yours and man it looks sick. Any recommendation for me? I never owned a Subaru and have been looking into the latest model, not sure if I should wait another year or not haha. I kind of wanted to experience the ej before it goes but still not fully sure.
Can you please make a interior videos like different shift knobs because I’m looking to upgrade from factory and don’t know what I should buy like a heavy one or something similar to the factory one but nicer looking and other things that can make the inside more unique then then standard because I don’t really see anyone doing videos like that and it would be very interesting to see 😊
and remember, if you want crazy whp and tq, your going to neeed a built engine, iag possible, closed block forged pistons etc, and lets not forget a good oil pickup so it dont break and mess up your ringland and a oil catch can
@ My WRX Channel dude now i know i dont put much mileage on my Type RA. i have 15k after 2 years of ownership. Going full OEM+ with it with the JDM STI catalogue. a lot of which is on the S209. Then reliability mods and a more responsive turbo. 300whp is all I want on it.
ItsJustAlex man this is exactly what I was thinking. I have a friend that owns a type are and he is slowly importing all kinds of Japanese parts on his type R which I think is dope af
the STi sells pretty well, as long as they don't do anything stupid or too sporty/racecar like the EVO X, it should still sell well. They've added a lot of comfort stuff in the past years, to appeal to more non-enthusiasts, cuz those are dying.
That is a crazy amount of miles on a 2019 STi but at the same time I am happy you have it out a lot more often. My 2019 STi has only 5k miles on it and I bought it last April, but working from home changes the amount I drive it.
I'm actually in the market for this car. I'm between a 2020, a Type R, or just waiting for the next-gen STi. I have a few reservations about the reliability of the current gen STi, the Type-R's are marked up so bad right now I'm half tempted to just go and buy an M2 every time I look at them, and the next-gens are probably 2 years out it seems. I honestly have no clue what to do.
In a couple weeks I'll have owned my 19 WRX for a year and I just passed 6k miles 😅😅, I also really hate the stock speakers/sound system, that's probably one of the first big things I'll change.
@@CarsWithJR yah and then screwed everyone over when they stopped putting them in...not even in the final edition 🤷♂️....both great cars though your sti is real nice
Hey man . I’m in FL right now . In NFSG but I got an uncle up in WA in my home town Port orchard . He’s about to be an owner of an 8 second civic on E. Question , where do you go to gather your ethanol ? . He is willing to purchase a drum but I told him to hold off on it in case you have better advice . I wrote you through FB also .
Honestly the engine blowing up is what turned me off to Subies, I did find a place selling a bunch of 04 and 05 STI's for good prices, but I didn't pull the trigger. I almost went for an EVO, but they have their problems too like all cars have weird quirks. I think after I get my Jeep SRT I will pick up a subie as a weekend driver when I want to have some manual fun like a decent 04 or 05.
3:00 that’s cap because the whole reason I didn’t buy one is because it felt like a boat compared to the competition and I also drove them all including the focus rs
About your wheel setup: I'm running the same rims on my WRX but with 15mm spacers. I don't understand why mine poke out while you're running 20mm spacers and sitting flush?
It's not the fastest or the best. One thing I can say about the WRX STI is it literally is THE last, truly mechanical, Japanese driver's car. As old as its technology can be, nothing compares to it. In a world of adaptable suspension, ten million driving modes, numb steering feel, fake engine noise, and push button e-brakes, many will say horsepower trumps everything this car will ever be but the purists will say otherwise.
that was the closest thing to a straight piped civic on a Subaru, the rumble almost doesn't exist on this car and especially absent at 00:23. Sound is personal taste, i hate his exhaust sound, but the rumble is definitely not there
The charger had me dead 😂😂

This review right here is exactly why this is the best channel out there.
I hope Subaru keeps it Japanese purist. I was disappointed with Toyota went with BMW for their motor instead of the 2JZ.
right? when he mentioned Subaru should partner with Porsche, I was shaking my head. I own a Subaru, my favorite brand since a kid is Porsche, but hell no. To co-develop, maybe, but to outright use a Porsche engine, like what Toyota has done, nope.

So true. The experience and aftermarket support make it boast to own and mod.
I just traded in my 2019 STi with about 6k miles on it and got basically the original MSRP back out of it. Much happier with my '21 Tacoma. I always wanted an STi but waiting until I was 53 to get one was silly.
Nice... I got my 2018 sti in May 2018. 2 years now with 15,320 miles.
Transitioned from WRX to STi'20 Aside from the outdated EJ257, the steering/transmission/drivetrain/suspension make ALL the difference.

The current STI is one of the last pure sport Japanese cars that have the old school feel. The next gen will probably be faster.
My WRX Channel isn’t faster a good thing? I know nobody can tell how the next gen will be. Stuck between the current sti or the next gen lol
I was going to buy one of these but I purchased a 2019 charger scatpack 392 for $35,000

Totally agree with your first comment. I personnaly cannot wait for that stock forged internals fa24dit. Very excited to build that.
I wish Subaru would just make everyone happy and put the sti trans in the wrx and the sti
that would not make everyone happy, that will make WRX owners happy. If an STi upgrade just means more HP/TQ, then what's the point?
The description of owning it compared to the high school girlfriend is AWESOME!!

I"m using 5mm spacers with these wheels. 20mm for the stock wheels.
It's not the fastest or the best. One thing I can say about the WRX STI is it literally is THE last, truly mechanical, Japanese driver's car. As old as its technology can be, nothing compares to it. In a world of adaptable suspension, ten million driving modes, numb steering feel, fake engine noise, and push button e-brakes, many will say horsepower trumps everything this car will ever be but the purists will say otherwise.
Do you guys get leather seats as an option?
Our premium models in Australia all come with sunroof + leather seats
We do in the "limited" trim.
Why wouldn’t Suburu fix the cars under warranty???
Killer content per usual. An insightful take on a unique car.
Very excellent review and always awesome editing
Thank you so much 👍
What tail lamps are those
@MyWRXChannel?
Were you implying towards the end that if not tracking, most should get non sti instead?
Weird question but what lugnuts do you use they look awesome
Loved this vid, cars looking good 🤘
I miss my Subaru now thanks hahaha
00:23 that rumble 💘
that was the closest thing to a straight piped civic on a Subaru, the rumble almost doesn't exist on this car and especially absent at 00:23. Sound is personal taste, i hate his exhaust sound, but the rumble is definitely not there
Great review and awesome video!
What lip is that It looks awesome
I wish subaru let brembo sell the brake components for this 6-pot. Full service on these cost as much as a new BBK 😰
Should I wait for the upcoming sti or get the 2020 sti??
Hard decision. Old school mechanical driving feel vs new tech. I would wait for the official announcement before making a decision.
Lol, 16k miles in a year. I wish. I drive 60k + a year… and that’s just another reason I don’t daily a Subaru
