    Jeez.... what's with all of these people complaining about horsepower. The sti is a balanced car with handling, chassis, brakes and power and true AWD. If you want pure HP get a mustang GT, you get more power and it's cheaper! Subaru worked on the suspension and chassis on the 2015 sti to get the MOST of the EJ257 motor. I'd rather get a fine tuned suspension and chassis then just more HP because it's easy to add more power, it's difficult to fine tune susoension.
    You have to understand that the STI isn't a drag race car and it's purpose was for road race and rallying, so it's specifications are built to meet those demands.

      Besides, for the ones who want more power, there is always cobb, their AP tuner works the same with the 2015 and so does the exhaust, so if you want a little more just go to cobb

      The biggest complaint is the fact that its the same old EJ. People were expecting the FA motor because its better i guess...

      needs at least 360 - 375 horse power to be balanced

    I don't understand what's with American Muscle fanboys. Don't get me wrong, I love my country and I am extremely patriotic, but I feel like everyone who jerks off to American Muscle cars refuses to respect any other cars. I love my Subaru, but I also love Mustangs and Camaros. There different cars. I feel like American muscle fan boys only look at HP. Just my thoughts!

      EagleLogic I've never liked die hard American Muscle Fanboys.. I own a 2013 Camaro ZL1 with 580 hp and its amazing, but I still love all other types of cars. Also most camaro or mustang people are annoying.. there die hard "chevy" or "ford" fans and cant admit any other company makes sick cars...
      And as far as imports go I like them, my personal favorites is the evo or the wrx sti. My friend owns a 2015 wrx she lets me drive, a lot of fun! Only complaint is I think both those cars should have 350-400hp.
      When it comes down to it, real car people love all fast car and good looking cars. All the other people are fake!

    Great review! I owned a 2009 WRX, a 2012 WRX and my wife currently owns a 2013 WRX. I recently traded in my 2012 WRX (20K miles) and purchased a 2015 STI (in white). I never really felt there was enough of a performance spread between the STI and WRX to warrant the $8K+ price difference. Until now. The 2015 STI is an absolute beast! I think the smiles and reaction to the STI by the reviewer says it all.

    I like how people talk trash about the STI still "only" having 300 HP for 40K meanwhile a BMW 328i xdrivehas "only" 240 hp at 40K (well over that really) and the 335i x drive has "only" 300 hp yet is easily 50k.A 50K S4 "only" has 333hp. Yes, these are luxury cars, but in the same size segment as the WRX.
    The point is, there no point in making fun of "only" 300 HP when cars 5 figures more expensive have the same power and performance.
    Its not about HP, its about the total drive. An STI can spank a 328 and 335 around the track, and keep up with the 335 0-60 at a bargain.
    Theres still no car out there at the price point and performance value of the WRX and STI.

      Walt Thomas You won't be disappointed! I went to the dealer looking to get a 15 WRX. Liked it, almost bought it, but was iffy about the EL headers and the 2.0 litre engine. They had a WRB Limited 15 STi on the lot. I took it for a spin. Loved it.
      And I've been taking it for a spin every day since!

    @Anjeluvadavis 9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Ppl say that all subarus are ugly but I genuinely think that this car looks wonderful. Like on par with Mercedes. I agree that some of the stis look bad like the previous sedan including the front end of the hatch. But this entire car looks awesome. It has an aggressive look but with the subtleties of a corola of course that wing throws that off

    You remind me of myself in respect to when your flooring the car into corners your giggling and laughing and enjoying yourself. The first fast car I drove was my dads 06 vette and I was just giggling like a little kid as you said. I would like to thank you for your amazing videos and your charming and genuine personality. You not only are someone that I admire but someone that soothes me when I'm having a rough day. I hope you continue making great videos and keep being yourself I've been a viewer of yours since the days you had 200 subscribers.

    I think that is the thing I love most about by 2014 WRX Hatch is the boost threshold. I love building up the revs to 3k and then the boost kicks in. It is a rush. It makes it fun to drive. I feels like nothing else I drive.

  • @jasonwieber2762
    @jasonwieber2762 10 ปีที่แล้ว +60

    I personally think the regular WRX is the way to go!!! 38hp or whatever the diff is and the big wing isn't worth 8700 over the regular wrx in my book....and hey subaru get with the times man STI been like 305hp for like 10 years now the the f*cking Ford Focus ST (I own that lol) has 252hp out of the factory I mean a Focus man...they want to sell that sucker close to 40k lets see 350 or 400 hp or something!!!! Its too expensive in my book but for some odd reason would love one lol

    • @corybennett8050
      @corybennett8050 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The STI also comes with unequal length headers, which projects a deeper rumble from the flat 4. You're right about the WRX being a better value though. To be honest I don't like the new body style. Like many people have said, it does look like a corolla from the side, and if I were to get a 2015 WRX or STI, I would pay the extra money to look less like a Corolla.

    14:20 on, calm conversation while the background keeps buzzing by faster and faster, LOL. I love my Launch Edition, and you're right that the stock handling is absolutely incredible. On paper it seems like the same old car, but the driving experience stock is completely different. Just put the STI exhaust on mine (highly recommended), and with the sound tube it sounds like it has an aftermarket intake.

    So Subaru in 2014 finally made an Evo 8/9, and that's a GREAT thing. You get a superior interior, great steering wheel, and finally, finally proper steering response and weight. I bought my Evo new in 04, and after being disappointed with the STIs and Evo X, it's finally time to get rid of my car. Good job Subaru. Still wish it looked like the concept, but I at least like the looks of this one.

I lay off the gas pedal on sport sharp and get pretty decent gas millage 24 to 25.. only thing I hate is when you turn the car off it goes back to sport mode .. btw nice car...

    Awesome review Matt. I love the sti, but manual transmission is out of the question for me on a daily driver. Been there done that.
    This seems to be a much more refined sti fir sure.
    I love the new interior look, a much needed improvement that will attract ppl that originally were not as interested on this model.
    Great job Subaru.
    Keep'em coming Matt, loving your reviews bud.

  • @Trades46
    @Trades46 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I still think Subaru made a mistake for not upping the power on the STI. Sure keep the EJ25, as aftermarket shows the EJ25 can reliably daily ~380hp without breaking anything,
    However, the STI can finally handle like the old GC8 days (remember the 2008 GR8?). So that means as SubaruWRXFan said, all it really needs is some aftermarket ECU & exhaust/intake mods to get it up to ~350hp or so before going to beat Camaros on the track.

      fortunately, Subaru listens to the masses, and there's a reason why Subaru discontinued the hatch - NO ONE OUTSIDE OF THE U.S. BOUGHT ONE. So you stick to your 2011 STI Hatch, I'll go with the 2015 STI with it's torque vectoring, stiffer suspension and body, more comfortable interior, standard back up camera, and better handling - after all, THAT'S WHAT THE STI WAS DESIGNED FOR - here's to FORWARD thinkers

      Thats a big reason why i just cant recommend an Sti over a Wrx especially when we are talking about a daily driver. I love the heritage of the Sti but id rather have a 02-04 low mileage Porsche 911 Turbo which is also awd and about the same price as a brand new 2015 Sti with the same gas mileage but with much more power too.

      Vagabond MaReligion Guys. Having watched a few video's of this car on TH-cam, and from other site's, either blowing it up, or marking it down!
      I guess it either does it for you, or it doesn't. Not much point in arguing too much about it. If you want something that looks like that, knowing what it's foibles are before investing in it, then good for you!
      I make a point of being with my close friends when they buy a new car, and I'f I was with a pal who wanted one bad enough, I wouldn't talk them out of it. However, I would tell them to look across the second hand market first. Perhaps a previous generation, with all the tools would be a better option?!

      Carlitox b 05 used to be my favorite as well. Still like the look more. I spent a lot.of time.with an 05 that had a stage 2 clutch installed and am now driving a white 2015. Love it so frigging much. Handling feels so much better (coming from an s2k I can almost barely notice the size difference. It feels.just as sporty around corners while being quite a bit larger). I'm coming around on the looks (05 more classic rally, this more sleek and it grows on you, the profile is something special not to mention the interior). I'd take a test drive if I were you. This year is something special. It's a seriously great drive. Holy crap cornering onto a freeway onramp.and then letting it have it is exhilarating.

    Nice review! It's an amazing car - so many improvements and more refined, but it still has a ton of attitude. So many people comment that it's not worth the money over the WRX for a "big wing." There is much, much more to the STi over the WRX than the big spoiler. I picked up my grey 2015 just under a month ago, and I am really enjoying my car. Unless I am mistaken, doesn't world rally regulations restrict cars to around 300hp? I see a lot of comments complaining about no increase in hp. Don't get me wrong, I would be stoked about more power, but I think they keep it like that due to the cars rally roots.

Cant decide between going for a new STI or finding a clean older 2012ish STI hatch or waiting to see if that Levorg or whatever becomes the new STI. Regardless an Subaru STI will be my next purchase and I am excited.

      I'm a fan of the around 2005 models personally, but I'm really digging this one. Got one today and I parked it and got out and just took in the profile for a minute... It's really gorgeous. And I won't even get into the interior, which may be even nicer looking.
      But, honestly, we like these for the drive. The sound they make at the low end sold me the moment I got in. The grip around a corner the salesman insisted I not break at sealed the deal. The looks are just a bonus. Still miss the hatch model tho. But seriously, I cannot complain. I honestly have nothing unless I got seriously nitpicky.

    @Xmvw2X 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great review. I like that you've covered both the 2015 WRX and STI now, and it's fun to watch both back to back for comparison.
    I think you've highlighted a couple of interesting bits that I have not yet seen discussed. For example, where does some of that extra cost go? Well we can always say the transmission and Brembo brakes, but it's more interesting to see all the interior upgrades as well including a couple design changes and material upgrades. You have the alcantara and extra stitching details on all the soft surfaces. You have several upgrades to the steering wheel including the metal (maybe) bottom accent and vented leather wrap on the sides. The center console has a sliding cover over the cup holders which does produce a more premium appearance.
    I do have a question about the seats. The STI does have the alcantara and red striping, but as far as I'm aware and can tell from both videos, both appear to be the same dimensionally, including the bolstering. However, you state in the video that the seat in the STI is a lot better. Could you go into more detail as to why you feel the STI seats are better than the WRX ones? I'm curious if they actually modified the foam density or modified the springs or added stiffening in the bolstering or something that would differentiate the two. I ask because I thought that they were identical outside of the alcantara and the red accents. I also ask because I believe you still had the BRZ at the time of the WRX review and now have the Mini as your daily, and this may throw off your perception.
    Speaking of seats, yes, JDM variants can provide significantly improved hugging power in these cars, especially for skinner people that find a lot of wiggle room in the US spec seats. I got JDM Version 9 STI Spec C seats a couple years back for my FXT (not many other all black STI seats other than a Recaro variant), and they've really spoiled me big time. They make the BRZ seats feel flat, under supportive, and roomy. The foam used is also much more dense (improves tactile sensation), and there's plastic support plating on the back of the bolstering that helps it retain shape and hold. I really do suggest looking at JDM variants if you do find the US spec a little too sloppy for your taste. For those that track, auto-x, or rally-x, they can be a huge improvement for keeping you in place and comfortable during heavy maneuvering. It makes me curious about JDM spec 2015 seats for these cars, and I'd expect to see quite a few people trying to source some for their cars.
