After watching this and what Mark said I feel ever better about my 2019 STI.
Me too!
Finally a Sti track vid! Thank you!
Good job! Your cornering lines were excellent. Hardly any tire squeal too.
Thanks for your review. I bought a 15 WRX and have been very happy with it after some suspension mods and a few mods to the transmission. The new engine is very responsive and it really should have been the engine they put in the FR-S/BRZ. As soon as they update the engine in the STI I am trading up.
These cars are like that girl you knew that looked good from some angles, and butt ugly from others.. But because she was good in the sack you looked past the fugly moments... :)
thanks
@@virid6819 fa20 in the brz. No turbo or built internals. The wrx has a fa20dit. Which as far as i know is the only boosted one. The newer legacys and foresters also have a regular fa20. I heard the new 2023 sti or wrx is getting a fa24. So more liters and power
Why no more Subarus?
thanks for the video. I agree with you that the car has all the power you need for track use, although I have not raced it on a track as of yet. the only thing I wished you did was drive it in full manual - to see just how much it acts like a RWD car.
I drove this car on the track a yr ago. Very very impressed last few get STI were...I don't want to say horrible but "soft" and understeer a lot during hard corner. This car is on par with EVO or better. By better I mean better interior and usability.
Understeer because you go to soon on gas...
If you are turned off Subaru...first why? Second, who do you hand your money to?
What is it about Subaru that you wouldn't want to drive it before? I've watched a few of your videos, but I didn't hear a concrete reason for it yet.
Any plans to review this car? I've considered selling and consolidating my cars (S2000 and Focus ST) to buy one of these jack of all trades cars. Do you think its worth it?
Do you have any plans to do a more comprehensive review of this car? It always piques my interest when you speak highly of something.
WhiTeyFU Thats the goal, but dont have it scheduled yet.
When are you buying one to give the goose treatment to?
Scott P Never, lost heart after toying with last junk.
savagegeese 4 blown up Subaru's in one month is enough for me to want one!
I think he's waiting for the L.L. Bean edition.
The spoiler is part of its personality
how did you mount/what is the camera for the speedometer?
could you tell me what all the cameras you use on board are? What brands? thanks
For most all onboard shots, Sony Action Cams, ASV series and then we use Tascam recorders with external mics for sound.
I'm missing something... What is the reason you don't like subaru anymore?
I dont want to post this on here but you can message me I will respond.
savagegeese oh come on, tell us, dude! Getting magnetic objects stuck in heat shields have anything to do with it? My favorite part about a Subaru is how they recommend putting the coolant additive in the antifreeze. It's stop leak because they all develope head gasket leaks!
kkthxk Gonna go for a 1998 NSX and be done. Modern cars all have these absurd tradeoffs from, 30 different ECUs, to DI like you said that clogs up, to head gaskets and oil leaks or companies denying your warranty for whatever reason they see fit. (Cough) The Midwest eats these cars like a fat fucks eat custard with fried twinkees.
Scott P Stuck leasing everything, or owning something pre-2000.
savagegeese yaaas. That's smart imo, I recently got asked about a new Z...
In about three years when Chrysler unleashes the Dodge Dart SRTown 'n' country edition, can you please do a review? 300hp+ and awd its gonna have Subies and EVOs shaking in their boots. Any thoughts, enquiring minds want to know?
Just buy a TNC and call it a day.
It's 3 years and not even a rumor........
This car would be perfect if this new design didn't look like my moms Corolla.
If only all you had to do was drive it and not look at it.
Name of track?
why do not give another chance again to subaru ?
I would considering buying this car.
+savagegeese What do you think of the standard wrx this year?
why you never buy Subaru again? I wonder
+Dante Ryosuke I dont want to post that publically.
So is the answer to that hidden in a video somewhere or are we just left to wonder? Subaru in general is all I'm looking at for my next car so far. If it's a sentimental thing (family member died in one or something tragic like that), I'd understand that (I think). If there's something the rest of us need to know to stay away from, I'd love to hear at least a hint of it. Some folks out here trust and value your opinion.
It's not about reliability issue. I think it's more of a personal tastes and goals. I've having my WRX STI for more than a year already and I love every day driving it. Some people may not like it because it's not a comfortable as an Audi, maintenance cost more than a Camry, MPG not as high as the new Civic, lower power to displacement ratio ... etc
No car can ever fit perfectly to everybody.
There are many reasons, but I think it's all come down to your priorities and what you're expecting to have as your own car. For me, I wanted a car that I can go anywhere, and do everything I need while having raw handling experience of characteristics from the 90s era with modern touch, hence, the STI is the only choice.
It's all depends on you. There is nothing wrong with Subaru.
No more Subaru's for you? Judging from your responses below it seems like a Subaru dealership treated you like shit. That's unfortunate, Subaru makes great cars.
Its because he doesn't know how to drive AWD plain and simple. It's not the same as RWD and this guy doesn't understand that when he's behind the wheel. Watch all his Subaru driving videos he drives them all the same. Ridiculous.
AWD Subarus will push and understeer. The driver has to straighten them out after turns before full throttle I heard. This car shines on performing on loose surfaces such as snow or gravel. Lots of peeps are not aware of this. Chris Atkinson talks about it in a video. Also why is the DCCD set to a middle setting? Wouldn't you want a rear bias on the track? It certainly would lessen understeer. Either Auto minus or Manual but bias towards the rear. Andrew Fong, he's definitely no Chris Atkinson hahaha.
It’s not his driving, quit being butthurt bout your vape mobile. Not a lot of people who know more overall about the whole car experience than Savagegeese.
@@Oscarcode1033 Imo the STI is a mediocre track car but almost perfect for backroads/street use... there's a good reason why more and more Hill Climb cars are now AWD. You don't need the AWD on a nice surface like a track but for real world situations i'd pick the STI.
@@koastal312 Need awd cuz its snow city here
