Aw man I subbed for the SI hahaha... all good I’ll stay for the details on this deal. Also on the financial videos.... keep the videos coming ... can’t wait for the review on the STI.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one deciding on the same exact deal. (preparing to sell my Sports for WRX). Congrats man, you deserve it!!! Looking forward to the updates
Took me awhile to get used to the clutch on my 2016 sti. For reverse, i usually tap on the gas to bring the rpm up to around 2k rpm then slowly release the clutch and repeat.
Bro Im on my second sti. Had a fully built 06 amd now a brand new 2020 i got 7 months ago. Leave it in intelligent during the break in period which is 1k miles. I know it sounds crazy but just be patient. Do an oil change at 1k. Then religiously every 3k. Though manual says 6k but hellll no. Use 5w40 synthetic oil. Not 5w30. These cars are very finicky. Tteat her right and take good care and she will reward u. Congrats and enjoy her. Ps: after the break in perhaps do a catback. It will not Void your warranty guranteed. These cars are way too quiet from the factory. Plus you gotta hear the boxer rumble. I suggest get the tomei which is what I have. It sounds absolutely amazing. Since you have a white one definitely do tints and a front lip for sure.
Invidia in general is just a great brand the quality and sound for the price is great although everytime I've gotten an exhaust from then the box comes absolutely demolished 🤣
Yessir ski I also just recently bought a 2021 sti about 2 weeks ago, prolly the best decision I’ve ever made I’m madly in love with it, hope you are too
Welcome to the family, had mine a year and only put 5000 miles on it; enjoy it! Btw the Doric tires are terrible in even an inch of snow so watch out for that
Funny, I had the exact opposite... Carmax offered me $2,300 less then Carvana for my BRZ. They also tried telling me that the offer from Carvana wasn't real, just an estimate. Which was totally bogus.
Hey how's your car so far... Remember you were saying reverse is a bit hard? I had an issue too, I was trying to back up and park on the drive way right in front of the garage, the space is just enough for a car. So I back in alright with the rate wheel up on the driveway .. when it comes to the front wheel , I was stuck and not getting up because I didn't want to gas too much and then hit the garage door...I was kind of putting on some gas and afraid to release fully on clutch and the car might just fly and knock the door..So I tried few times and gas up and didn't release clutxh fully .. finally made it but as soon as fully up on drive way I smelled something burned which I guess I was riding the clutch .. but just once and I guess and hope I didn't do much damage on clutch
I just did the same thing! I had a 2020 coupe si. I still love the si but it's so much more fun driving the sti. Cant wait till it's broken in so I can really get on the throttle
I'm kinda have same goal as you to own a STI one of these days.. I have an 2019 Accord right now and hopefully in the future trade it in with an STI; thank you for the good vids content
Nice video.. I got mine in white as well last month .. same issue .. Clutch is definitely something you need to get uses to it.. I stalled few times when reverse as well ... Can't really just let the clutch goes without giving little gas when reverse.. when you were driving up the parking lot .. were you using 2nd gear the whole time? .. also your mirror has compass.. did you add extra for that? Mine didn't have that ... Anyway nice video .. you will have fun
@@SonikJesus Mine is the base model & really want a sunroof and navigation that is why I am trading. Plus I got $31k trade in for my 19' STI with 27,000 miles.
@@Paul-ang It had 27,000 miles on it when I traded it in. The 2 years I owned my 2019 the car was stock with just a catback. Zero problems & the key is to change the oil every 3,000 miles. I plan on using Castrol Edge 5W-30 Full-Synthetic on my 2021 just like I did for my 2019.
Hey man, what are your overall thoughts on both cars? I’m in the market for both at the moment and I’ve yet to have the opportunity to test drive a Type R. Overall what would you recommend?
That’s a loaded question. My next video will actually be why I chose the STI over the CTR, but in short, CTR is a better performing car but I prefer the look and feel of the STI. But definitely test drive both if you can. I don’t think a dealer will let you test drive a new type r but see if you can find a place selling a used one and will let you get it out on the road
White can be a little dull or boring however it is the easiest to keep clean and defects aren’t as apparent in the paint long term. Before my 21 Sti in CWP, I had a lapis blue Wrx, beautiful color but I could not keep it clean and the scratches showed big time. Dark colors are awesome if garaged and highly maintained.
i just got into a 21 sti 7k miles, i had a lancer es and this way wayyyyyyy different, very aggressive love the choice i made.
The last real old world, mechanical car. Great choice! Congrats! I'm getting mine as soon as I can afford it :)
Same
Congrats!
Thank you! Love your vids
You made the right choice my friend! We are both new to TH-cam meaning new TH-cam creators. I’ll be your one extra subscriber 😃

Me too .. I just got mine last month .. reverse is so east to stall but you will be fine

I’ve been driving in sport cause it’s the standard setting lol, whoops
Good move! You should check out my STI. It's been a fun journey and I get tons of compliments on it.
Much better choice than the Honda. Can't stand the Honda. Love the sti
Subscribed!
Awesome choice! I have the exact car but a 2020.
My best mod is an Invidia R400, it’ll really wake up the car!
😊👍

Enjoy brother. I'm waiting for the 2022 STI. It's going to be hard to get rid of my base model WRX 2017.
Is it coming this year ?
Yessir ski I also just recently bought a 2021 sti about 2 weeks ago, prolly the best decision I’ve ever made I’m madly in love with it, hope you are too
!!!! You absolute mad lad, excited to see what's to come!
Welcome to the STI family 👍🏼
Nice pick up. Sold my 9th gen si for an STi as well. Enjoy!
Great choice! 👌 white is by far my favorite color!
I just bought a ‘21 STI as well. I am coming from a Focus ST, completely different car lol
Lets GO! Welcome to the FAMILY!
I swear I saw you in another comment section lol
@@roninxerox1833 Probably yeah.. I'm a Subie fan lol every time I see one I gotta say something haha

Thanks! Yeah I’m fully aware of the Yokohama summer tires, I’ll have to change those out toward the end of the year
@@novaGRCircuit I found out the hard going sideways at 20 mph in like 3 inches
Congratulations!! Great Video!!

I'm fine with it now. Back when I first got the car it was a bit tricky to get used to
Congrats! 💪
Traded my 2018 sti for a 2021 sti. People said I'm nuts in like no just don't give no ducks.
Whatever makes you happy!
I just did the same thing! I had a 2020 coupe si. I still love the si but it's so much more fun driving the sti. Cant wait till it's broken in so I can really get on the throttle
Agreed!
I’m learning manual in an sti and reverse really is just making sure the rpm is 2-3k otherwise it’ll stall easy
Should've went with a type r. I sold my Sti for a type r. Never going back to a Subaru. And I kept it stock only.
I only ever had Honda’s. Wanted something new
Were you able to get a type R at MSRP? Every dealer near me seems to still mark up the price for the CTR
You'll miss that fuel economy. Especially in that city driving
You don't need fuel economy in a sports car.
Just stumbled across your channel watching car vids congrats on the buy man you'll love it I've owned 3 wrxs over the yrs got a 13 wrx hatch rn
I'm kinda have same goal as you to own a STI one of these days.. I have an 2019 Accord right now and hopefully in the future trade it in with an STI; thank you for the good vids content
Thank you! I’m gonna make a video about all the numbers and stuff with mine soon!
Congratulations!😎✌🏼
Thank you!
I litterally just traded in my 2012 civic Si for a 2021 sti
Congrats, hope you enjoy! 🔥
Thanks!
Nice Subie wave ✌🏼

To be honest I don’t remember what gear, I just do what feels right in the moment.
The compass was an option installed from factory
I just want a wrx I'd be happy with a 2012 or 2009 wrx
I trade in my 20 86 for Sti yesterday. And at same day my mom passed away. Not happy with new car.. and stalled at least 8 times with sti.
Try driving a Wrx and you will love the sti clutch and gear box.
That’ is a f’d up feeling bro
Hang in there I lost my mom last year too that can f u up a lot
he added T on his si. welcome fam and im pretty sufe you'll love it, ✌️
Making me wanna buy an sti
what exaust are u running
Remark
GOOD CHOICE!
this type r owner is jealous...lol awesome car/vid
Why can’t we all get along, I love all these kinds of cars 😭😭
Congrats I take delivery of my 2021 STI limited in 8 days. I am trading my 2019 STI for it.
why the upgrade? They’re the same car, no?
@@SonikJesus Mine is the base model & really want a sunroof and navigation that is why I am trading. Plus I got $31k trade in for my 19' STI with 27,000 miles.
@@moonman_8935 Wow! That’s actually a good deal for your ‘19. They really don’t depreciate too much.
@@moonman_8935 Did the 19 sti treat you well, was it reliable?. I have a 21 Sti and absolutely love it.

When reversing just release the clutch slowly without putting a gas..
Yeah it’s just different than I’m used to
Keep 7-10k spare for an engine rebuild. Enjoy
My 21 sti has a 100k mile warranty. By then I will have enough saved up to drop a fully built long block into it.
Should trade in get Tax credit !
I just bought one in white today
Sweet!
What dealership did you end up buying that badboy from?

Def not
Damn that was boring

Enjoy the ringland

Good thing I didn’t buy it with your money
