@@SVXtasy_ Yeah the taillights do have a weird shape to them, maybe not quite aggressive enough? The regular Imprezas from this gen can get away with it imo but it doesn't quite fit on something aggressive like a WRX.
I've got a 2010 WRX I picked up just over a month ago and it's not as fast as an STI, it's everything I need it to be. Stock except exhaust, intake, and coilovers. This STI here is very nice, I think I'd love to take it for a drive to compare
I owned an 07 STI and drove the next body style when they came out and thought it felt huge, slow, and soft, but no where near as slow as the latest one.. i wish they still made the utilitarian wrx, these later ones are nearly as big as a camry.
@@rustbeltrobclassic2512 Yeah 06 is a hawkeye. Hawkeyes were the best last WRX generation. im still hanging onto mine today and it still runs stronger than these newer gens
@@shinobu3817 i loved that car, mine was black with gold bbs wheels, was an absolute head turner. A real drivers car. Real nice manual transmission and great clutch feel. Seat’s if i am honest were terrible, as were the stupid frameless windows in the winter, the glass would freeze to the rubber stripping. But that exhaust burble and 90’s style turbo lag was so much fun..
I have 2011 WRX Premium, and I fucking love it. Everyday I go to work I can't help but smile. She's just so much fun stock and as a daily driver, I couldn't ever ask for anything better. If anyone ever has a chance, I highly recommend getting one. I was lucky and bought her bone stock never been tuned.
i got to test drive a friends japanese import, fully stock but theyre generally sportier with the transmission and clutch (not sure bout the suspension but its very good for stock) and the right hand drive takes a bit of getting used to but it was 100% the most fun car ive ever driven, and i drive brand new audi rs at work xD i was surprised at how much space it had to offer on the inside and he compared it to his evo x which is roughly the same size but significantly less spacious, especially the trunk. needless to say im currently saving up to take it off my friends hands xD
I love Subaru since I was young. But I can’t get over their interior design. For me interior design is as important as the fun to drive aspect. If they up their game and make it less cheap looking, I would jump ship from German cars to Subaru cuz I had always love Subaru and their exterior design. I’d like to see something at least similar to what they have done with the BRZ (which I think was designed by Toyota)
Sounds like it has equal length headers, so not quite the 'signature' rumble, but it still sounds pretty good. I'll be keeping my '13 hatch till it dies on me I think.
I got a 2011 Black Subaru WRX STI with a couple of extra official Subaru addons (front lip,red interior lighting,boost gauge, kicker subwoofer in the trunk.
It could be the mods but it has nothing to with the driving. The shop the built the car kind of messed up on couple of things that kind of led to it being the 3rd motor. First motor wasn't the block that I wanted and it went out after 3 months. Second motor was iag but the miss couple of thing and blew it on the dyno. Now it's built right and haven't has a problem with it since.
the new one looks like a Prius Prime that really wanted to be a WRX. Under the hood though it is pretty bad ass but I can't get over how shitty it looks.

Thanks for the review!!!!
This gen of WRX really deserves more recognition, people are always sleeping on it, especially the sedan
But the taillight design is kinda ugly in the sedan. Plus the all clear tails on some of the hatches is bad too. Other than that a good performing car
@@SVXtasy_ Yeah the taillights do have a weird shape to them, maybe not quite aggressive enough? The regular Imprezas from this gen can get away with it imo but it doesn't quite fit on something aggressive like a WRX.
The sedan looks weird and ugly, imo. The hatch looks great, though.
I’m glad that it’s under the radar. You don’t see clapped out builds as much as the popular once.
@@ish2000 Haha, reminds me of that video of a slammed late model scraping and spinning trying to get into a driveway

That’s why I stick with my 06 body style 😆
@@shinobu3817 If I remember correctly that's the blob eye.. or hawk eye.. the last of the good WRX.. same as my (rip) 07. Miss that car..

That TMIC has seen better days
I have an 11 sti. The ones your driving is super clapped out. 😂
Excited to see the contrast between this and the Mazdaspeed 6!

Is yours manual or cvt? How reliable is it? Thank you
Been rocking this gen, love it to death! Don't see as many on the street
4:33 STI is pink the same as the trees outside the factory in that region of Japan where the cars are produced.
The sti is one of the few cars that looks good in red
I agree, other red cars that looks good are any Ferrari or Porsche 911
Bro I love this car so much I wanna devour in its oil. Shout out to all y’all Subaru fans
What a cool car, 1 of my favorites. I noticed; the shock towers look like their faded...not hating, just saying.
Funny thing just bought a 2011 sti premium and man I love it
besides GD chassis, the 2008-14(specifically 11-14) is so beautiful

1:44 i thought Nvidia only makes Grafical Processing Units
That coated Grimspeed TMIC been through a lot lol
I have a 2011 sti sport tech bought about 3 months ago and it's been amazing nothing bad to say except the ac condenser went in mine also

Love my 2013 STI
Sounds like it has equal length headers, so not quite the 'signature' rumble, but it still sounds pretty good. I'll be keeping my '13 hatch till it dies on me I think.
2011 cars are so good, i love your YT
Bro do a 2003-2004 M45. Nobody else has done reviews on them theyre pretty rare
Daaaamn... I have a 2011 sti hatch but she's bit a nicked up cosmetically
I got a 2011 Black Subaru WRX STI with a couple of extra official Subaru addons (front lip,red interior lighting,boost gauge, kicker subwoofer in the trunk.
the ej 25 is so reliable . lets bore it out ! that takes BaLLs!
Great video. amazing car. The only part that concerns me is that the owner is on his 3rd engine. Is it because he took it way too far wit mods??
It could be the mods but it has nothing to with the driving. The shop the built the car kind of messed up on couple of things that kind of led to it being the 3rd motor.

I love my lightly modded WRX sedan.
Ill let you drive my hatch if you come down to arizona :p
I dig that cellshade vintage video game vibe mazda 3 hatch intro! How u decide on it or producing it
getting a lot of savagegeese vibes from that picture
What access port mount do u have ?
I love Subaru’s.
Cool!
Nice!
Time for a new radiator 😬
Intercooler, not radiator
@@chadbrown4918 the fins on his intercooler are jacked up but still functional, if you look closely his radiator is brown, sign of old plastic
@@chadbrown4918 at 9:59 follow his upper rad hose. The radiator is super brown lol
Let's review your clapped out whip. Lol
@@pcha151 nobody wants to review my geo metro
the official fawk boy car
That’s a 350z and g35
Fail x100 .... PASS 🥳😄
This gen was my fav because the New wrx looks like it designed by a kid with brain damage with 0 braincells
the new one looks like a Prius Prime that really wanted to be a WRX. Under the hood though it is pretty bad ass but I can't get over how shitty it looks.
Junk
A 3RD engine -.- , yeah no thanks Im staying away from Subaru ive heard the nightmares on these cars
