- This is the 2020 Subaru WRX STI. And its the highest spec 2020 you can buy. It has a turbo, 310 horsepower and an unrivaled AWD system in its class. It's had a few updates for 2020. James and Thomas jump behind the wheel to see if it still holds up in light of its upcoming refresh. Because at $47,000 CAD, it's got some stiff competition. Watch and enjoy. SUBSCRIBE!

Super fun filming with y'all, thanks for the donut! I was trying to think of what my favorite part was, I think meeting Tux was the highlight (Thomas' cat). Also, nailed all 3 digits of pi. 👊You guys should come to Idaho sometime!
Do a joint tour thing before I move out of Boise!
The out sourced the position of Jason, tsk tsk, I even come with a tuned WRX
Oh what part of Idaho?!?!
You even live in a boring state to!. :)
Please make an yearly compilation of all the intros!
in the beginning, I was like wait...did I click on the wrong video? 🤣
me too
Same
Well I did click on the wrong video cause based on the thumbnail I thought I was clicking on a straightpipes video.
Indeed twas I as well
I paused the vid and checked on the title...
Traded my '15 STI for a Tesla Model 3. Dumbest move of my adult life. I really enjoyed my '15 STI and drove her spiritedly for 50,000 amazing miles and with zero issues. I think I'll hold out till next year for the redesign. I sincerely hope the STI will remain true to its roots.
Edit: Didn't wait till next year. Proudly sold my Tesla for a '20 STI. Too much uncertainty with what's coming for STI.
Edit again: WOW! Am I happy I followed my heart and bought the 2020 STI. The end of STI as we know it has arrived folks... If there is a car you're on the fence of buying, don't delay. EV generation is upon us and the days of ICE vehicles are numbered. Enjoy them while you can! Life is too short to sacrifice your happiness...
Seriously? From a STI to a Tesla? What were you thinking!?
Ben Ten Dumbest fucking move man. You’d think me being in tears the entire time driving to sell my ‘15 STI would’ve been enough of a sign not to let her go! Dumbass me ignored those emotions.
Never do that again, lol... JDM for life, subiegang!!!!!!
Dang wow , I wanna do what you do for a career to afford a 20' STI
I'm in a similar boat, need to decide if I'm buying a 2020 or waiting a long year for the next one....just to potentially be dissapointed.
James: "getting in an Sti, it's not gonna feel like a racecar"
Me, in my '08 toyota yaris, with 69hp, 150k kilometres and a dead clutch: "obviously"
They test so much fast cars that they are used to it. For me sti would feel like rocket lol
Turn off your ac going up big hills. Get half your HP back
Engineering Explained cameo was great.
I expect more Tesla complaint next time though!
Yeah need more of EE and less of these msm normie review douches.
was refreshing the page thinking something was wrong with my internet lol
th-cam.com/video/9Ve3MU_q69U/w-d-xo.html
For as much shit I used to talk about the STI, after i had traded my STI in for a F80 M3, I still find myself tempted to go back to the STI. Power aside, the refined EJ motor, 6 speed, true AWD, it's simplicity, raw driving experience, driver focused feeling and it's hydraulic steering really brings back my joy and experience with the early 2000s late 90s JDM cars/ driving style; which is nearly impossible to find now in modern cars today, except with the STI.
This cars simplicity and raw driving experience are going to be missed now that everything is electronic, robing us of what true driving experience is about. We may not see it right now but give it time, all of us who complained about the STI being "old" and "needs modern updates/ tech" will eventually realize the "old" & "outdated" feeling is what true drivers will crave, not a car that does the driving for us with its 20+ ECUs. We will all realize we were wrong for hating on the current STI and resent what we complained about.
Once this old school STI is gone, it will take time for us to realize and wish there was still a driver focused sports car that retained that "old" 90s/ early 2000s JDM driving experience and style.
Hugh Vupy Damn man, now you starting to get me looking for a Subaru WRX STi too
That’s what I’ve been saying all along, people are craving for an old 2J Supra and a basic NA NSX.
People who complained never actually owned both the WRX and STi to make a comparison. I traded in my CVT WRX and drove my buddies Stage 2+ WRX and was just too boring compared to the true DNA and theatre of a beast that is the EJ STi
You type like all the STIs are going to disappear. Theres a million of them dude, you can relax.
at least you didn't trade for the upcoming f90 m3, I swear I can see that grille during sleep paralysis
sunburst LOL a million of them! Not many good ones left, the 2006+ are absolute boring to my eyes and besides all of this you in the USA only have EJ25s. I have a EJ20 2003 STI and it’s starting to become quite rare if you want a stock one with low miles just like mine , their price will rise real quick I’d say specially now that subaru announced the Ej20 final edition
I have an STI. Not the car though.
Would get that checked there. I know it's been 4 years but still
bro 💀
was this worth the 26 likes?
I bought the 2015 when it first came out. Track days, snow days, long road trips, and 80k trouble free miles. Family car. Track Car. Commuter car. U name it, this car does it. It’s a do all car. My son took it to college and he’s enjoying it as his daily driver. I love it !
That intro is just gold!
Love to see Jason Fenske on this channel!

Wait till everyone complains about the new sti and misses the ej20's and ej25's
as long as they keep a manual anything will be a breathe of fresh air! lol
This is so true it's not even funny.
@@darrylpage3404 No one is going to miss an ej257
That's why you buy a forester GT, with an EJ20
Andrew Clark FA engines sound like a tin can civic. I drove my buddies stage 2+ so yeah I know compared to my STi
Love my 2020 STI. Here in Canada I was driving up quite a steep hill on a snowy day, no one was able to go up the hill but me. I still can't beleive how amazing the traction is. Always loved subies, i still cant beleive i finally bought one 😁
When manual transmissions are a dying breed there's a special place in my heart for the wrx/sti, just cannot bring myself to dump all that money into such an old design. I'm holding out hope that 2021 refresh will be the one for me.
I just bought a 2020, no regrets
It will have a manual for sure only
Not worth the pricetag
No ragerts
Jonathan Pontel $35 grand is not bad
I bought a 19 for a killer deal brand new just before they killed the STI. Its worth more than I paid now. Best vehicle purcase ever
At this point I’m so done typing comments about how good your intros are because I know I will run out of creative praises to say before you guys run out of creative intro ideas. You win.
That tho definitely is the kinda classroom, classmates and professor I wish I had in college
The fact that it has hydraulic steering and a manual makes me want it even more
"I just drew an EJ engine".... the OMG that intro, LMAO
You guys are killing these intros! Well done! I have a 2012 STI hatch - which has been a great car, especially in the winter. I knew when I bought it new back then that the engine was old. It's 7 years later and not much has changed there. Subaru needs to seriously up the power. 80 more hp would be good for a start. Better fuel economy would be nice too.
Omfg at the beginning I thought my TH-cam app glitch and was for reason playing a engineer explained video but showing ur channel
I've always been WRX STI and Forester Turbo Fan . There is something about those models I absolutely love
I know some people will bash on this car but the WRX STI has this sort of charm that stands out from its competition
It’s a good all round car that is good on track and the dirt
Dont forget the wintertime🙂 its a monster
Dont forget the RAW feeling when you drive. That today with all the computer in car it doesnt exist anymore.
What’s there to bash? Legit question
@@dfjdskf9234j4fisd just the car being on an old architecture and some people will say it's an outdated car
“Do you buy an STI in 2020 or just wait for the new one?”
RIP to all the people who “waited for the new one” lmao
I have to admit the EJ20 is a great engine especially for the WRX STI
While I’ll miss it very dearly, I can’t wait to see what the new WRX STI will be like
BASITH PH
It’ll be an FA25.

damn it must feel weird knowing the new WRX STi was cancelled for this generation until an EV version comes out
@@heart4011 yup Subaru is going to go downhill now at least they have the WRX and BRZ but Honda and Toyota anyways have better lineups than do Subaru
Is it just me or the video quality has improved dramatically? Esp the shots from inside the car. The scenery outside almost feels surreal! As always, great vid guys!
Cherry blossoms had significance to Samurai warriors in Bushido. Sakura continues to hold special importance to the Japanese.
But to ignorant Canadians and Americans it's funny.
Ya hard to take any reviews serious when they shit on the car's background, history, and/or culture. (These guys aren't the first to be completely ignorant in that matter towards Subaru)
Shut up weeb
@@yesagreeable6965 Haha :P
@@yesagreeable6965 bruh i wasn't a weeb when i learned this, its common knowledge lmao
ive gotta say since the beginning with the e46 and videos about swapping the diff - been a fan - videos are PRO level now! and entertaining ! awesome job!!
Recently ran across a used 2021 sti with only 3k miles. I immediately jumped on it since Ive wanted one for a while. Love driving it as my daily.
Loving the collabs these days fellas. Keep up the great work.
just wanna say that I only stumbled upon this channel two days ago and it is now one of my favorite car review channels on youtube.
Also, I always wanted an STI but its pricing never really drops in my country 😢
Haha welcome . These guys are the best! Glad you found the community
Now go binge the rest of the vids from them. They are hilarious.
They dont go down in prices on any country
That's in every country buddy. Subies hold their value way to fuckin much
Welcome! Come for the intro, stay for the car review. 😉
I love my 2017 WRX STI Limited. Best car buy of my life! Excited for 2021!
As a Canadian who owns a 2012 STI, I can confirm these are amazing in winter
I'll trade you some desert for some snow.
Rust?
@@JohnDoe-wi7eb no, i want snow.
What snow tires do you use?
This is good to know since I live in Chicago and I’m thinking of getting an sti
I like the synthwave soundtrack 👍
ArcadianGenesis can’t seem to find the track ☹️
I think it’s so interesting how personal preference plays such a big role on someone’s opinion over a car. While some say this car isn’t as engaging and fun as the type r or focus rs, many reviewers in England for example said the sti is such a characterful and analog experience and it’s amazing on back roads..... that’s why it’s important to really test drive a car before you choose one, that’s the best way to see what you like
Great video though guys! Like always!
I just bought a 2020 STI, very easy to daily drive. I love this car
What's your average fuel economy in sti?
Hahahaha everyone wants to know. I got 16 mpg on average this week. That was me driving it 60% of the time in stop and go traffic, 40% open road. I’m not launching or doing any crazy stuff, and I’ve kept the RPMs low. I live in Southern California and Premium here is over 4 bucks a gallon. But I also knew that when I bought this car. If you want an STI, the last of the EJ, this is the most refined version of that engine (aside from the S209). You get exactly what you pay for, and this car is a blast. I love it.
As the owner of an 09 STI hatch I can't imagine buying a 2020 sedan. I mean WHY? For an extra 5 horsepower and green brake calipers? Good God man, we've been waiting forever for a new gen STI. Its at least 5 years overdue!
How reliable has it been, how many miles do you have on it
@@joeypenkal376 100 percent reliable. Basic maintenance only so far.
J K how many miles do you have on it ? I’m thinking about it
@@joeypenkal376 110000
J K I’ll take note into that thanks
I really like how you said "but this is not how you drive an STI" !!!!! That says it perfectly. I get it quite regularly with my '19 STI - the " oh but your car is slow", And I reply , yes it is, until I get it on gravel, or snow, or banana peels !!!!!!!
Some cars in that price range you mentioned like the Merc are just a whole different audience though. The driving experience is very numb in those cars, the WRX has always been a more raw experience. And even though these new ones are far more refined than what they used to be, they seem almost deliberately less so than their competition. And that's OK.
I just love the simplicity of this car, compared to most modern cars.
Cherry Blossoms represent change in Japanese culture. So when they made a newer version of WRX back in the day, they put some cherry colouring on it. 8:59
I just literally got done test driving a 2015 STI and this video pops up. The TH-cam algorithm is strong today 😂😂😂
10:41 Jaeger LeCoultre, just in case anyone was wondering. Also this proves Thomas is definitely a watch guy. Your everyday layman will not know JLC.
Sti without wing is amazing. Wolf in sheep's clothing!! Great look. The sti needs a wagon/hatch version back!! All wheel drive + manual = priceless in a world of automatics.
Owned a 2015 and now a 2019. Let's see what 2021 brings.
Wojtek P wing for life
Can't remember the exact year, maybe 2012 or 2013 model year, all impreza including the STI were hatchback only.
This is the top trim of an economy car. Why would anybody want it to look like it's the base trim(without a wing). It makes no sense to me.
@@boss4330 so it's not rice
@@gigel99324 Rice is when you put a wing and loud exhaust on a 90 hp car. On a 310 HP car(street version of a rally car) the wing is legit.
Design is good but outdated
So in my opinion, price range is relatively high for outdated design.
I think they need to go back to the frameless door designs and throw some new EJ engine in there, something to produce 350-380 hp with that 6 speed MT, then they can compete in mid 40s price range
No, the turbo FA24 will be a welcome change. The EJ ran its course. Having torque down low is a wonderful thing. Hopefully they keep the body looking as good as the current STI and keep the Manual. Fingers crossed.
psedog ...Is the new FA going to be DI or Port Injection? If it’s DI then I’m going to look at the old EJ motor, Direct Injection turbo engines have too many carbon buildup issues.
@@smokestack9795 They didn't specify in the Japanese article. At least not when I skimmed it. I went to a couple of convenience stores out here to try and find it, but I came up with goose eggs 😔
Knock knock
Who's there?
EJ Engine 🤷♂️
Lol. This comment is giving me flashbacks and cold sweat because one of my rod bearings went on my STi
Yup, one of my bearings just went out, no fun
Suhhduhh - Damn dude, I’m sorry to hear that. Did you have any mods, were you driving aggressively when it happened, and how was your oil level at the time? What’s your next move?
Mine happened two years ago. Was stage 2, and hit 140 on the highway, then got off and next thing I know, the devil was knocking at my door 🤦🏽♂️. Dealer covered me under warranty, thankfully. I’ve heard of guys just driving normally down the road, stock, just to have a rod bearing go on them. Dealer took a month to get to my car so had to rent one all that time before they could give me a loaner, then they scuffed the whole face of one of my door handles smh. Terrible experience
Interlution Matthew is right, EJ20 don’t knock... You guys never had it, such a great engine ! Have a 2003 Blobeye STI Type UK PPP 🤙🏼
I have 2016 stock sti with 65,000 miles , i use 98 octane and motul engine oil, car runs smoothly and no issues, if you gonna use low octane fule and cheap oil then you will hear the knock knock sound
3 years with my 2020 WRB STI and no regrets.
Yo how do I break it to my wife that I just got an STI? 🤷♂️
Take her shopping... You have space.
At least it's not an STD, so you're good mate.
Say you did it for your kids. Or if your like me and dont have kids but your wife wants em say "I wanted something fast and sporty but I also wanted to think about our future kids, so it needed to be safe and have 4 doors" worked for me 30 days ago. Also made a joke about recaro baby seats.
Let her drive it! If she doesn’t get it... she’s not the one for you. I bought one without my wife’s consent, and now 4 years later... she won’t let me get rid of the damn thing! 😂
GimmeTacos she should file for divorce just for you buying a new car with old technology...
The STI was SO. COOL. for about the first ten years of its production. And now here we are, 1.5 decades ahead of the first U.S. STI and they still cost >$20K+ for a decent used model, make as much power as a Toyota Sienna, blow head gaskets like a 6.0 Powerstroke, eat pistons, rods. And for what? A geriatric AWD system and handling similar to a first time sexual encounter. But Subaru, I gotta give it to you; thumbs up on the cult!
Blake caliper 😂
Best intro. Winner of it all.
This comment will probably never get read because its a old video. But the only other thing that does what this car does is an EVO x
Better transmission on the STI, I believe. I wanted an Evo X for the longest but some of the 4b11 issues and styling made me look elsewhere
The Cherry Blossom Red color is actually a heritage thing. It was the original color of the RA and STI badges in the 90s. Pink is considered a masculine color in Japan. The only reason the badges were red on the USDM models was that Subaru thought that US buyers would consider the car "feminine".
Finally! As a 2019 STI owner I was hoping you were getting a 2019 but this was worth the wait! Great opening joke about the EJ! Had me laughing!
what do you think of the engine? as it dates back to 2004
@@Justin87878 Being it uses port injection, the gas milage is horrible. Other than that I have no issue with the engine. I wanted to buy one before they are gone forever. I'm leaving it unmodified so I shouldn't have any problems.
@@Justin87878 engines out of the type ra 2018, zlightly bigger heads, but otherwise, "the same" though there are definitely differences. Lot of people say it stayed the same but if you take one out from am 04 and compare it to a '19 = good bit of differences.
@@CarStory Thanks for the info. So I know I would avoid the STI ever... my friend ended up getting a CPO WRX and he was satisfied with it so far. Will see what the next generation looks like.
@@CarStory "uses port injection so the gas mileage is horrible"
GM's LS engines: hold my 91 octane
😄
But seriously, I'm itching for a '18-20 STI (I like the newer, not-entirely-red gauges), I love the car, just gotta find the right one at the right price. Sunroof, WR Blue, that's it. It's gonna happen.
Funny how true this title ended up being. RIP STI!
Never buy the first model year of a new car. Give them a year or two to iron out the kinks first. On the other hand, the 2020 STI is the very pinnacle of the current generation and would be a better buy right now imho
This aged well =)
Just picked up a 2019 STI back in July (ordered it in late April), and I love it. Been wanting one ever since they debuted in North America, and finally went ahead and grabbed one this year.
Was debating waiting for the refresh, but since just about everything about is is a big unknown at this point, I went ahead and picked up the current generation. Would feel uncomfortable buying the first few years of a STI with a new engine, and on a new platform, anyway. Better to wait a few years to see what kind of problems pop up, and hopefully give Subaru time to address any issues.
And now you're even happier you did, what with Subaru canceling it. I love my '19 as well. It's nice to own a piece of history like this car.
I just ordered a final edition of the good ej25 sti and I pick it up next week, literally shed a tear.
I'm missing the Mitsubishi Evo when I see this
Me too bro
Same :'(
Evo vs Sti days, those were good times.
There it is. Can't have an Sti video without an evo mention lol
Ikr I just want the Evo back, or the entire glory days of Mitsubishi 😭
BEST VID YAS MORE COLLABS AS CREATIVE LIKE THIS IS WHAT WE NEED IN 2020

lmaoo but srsly tho
Big ups for mentioning IWC and JLC watches.
"End of the Line, Pal" Oh if they only knew at the time
0:48 “yes 2020!” That must be the last time that phrase was ever said.
Am I the only one who still likes the STI
I almost thought I miss clicked the video.. Read the name again, and I'm like why is Engineering Explained ... OOOOOOOOOHHH THIS IS 🔥
Just got my 2020 STi, loving it since I've wanted one forever.
How much did u get it for? With and without tax? Thanks !
@@Haylem $40000 in Alaska, no taxes here.
@@fedkat8821 yikes... I found one for 37000 base, and another one for 36.5 right with packages. Hoping tax isn't too much
Someone needs to do a video of the first Sti that came to the states. And a current one quarter mile. That will tell you if the price is worth it. No mods stock vs stock.
The current gen is faster. The power and weiggt has not changed much but everything else was improved
@@nnietee Sorry but seeing believing. Actually you are wrong about the weight. A 2004 Sti is 3,263. A 2019 is between 3,272- 3,455. If it is faster i am sure its not by much. So why spend 50k on the same old engine.
I love my 15 STI, but.... it needs revamped hardcore!! The Tomei TI exhaust is a must for any STI owner, I have it on mine and fuuuuuuck. Perfect sound.
I've got an invidia exhaust and it sounds amazing. I've gotten compliments on it from people with the tomei ti
I just got a 2021 STI in white as well but I powder coated the wheels gold. Looks 👌🏽
For a second, I thought I clicked on the wrong video.
Engineering explained and throttle house, engineering explained should’ve talked about Subarus awd system.
LOL that intro
and the endings!
They have an amazing garage with a door at both ends.
The answer to Your question about whether I buy it or not or maybe I wait for new one is - I buy the old STI GD with Hawkeye front lights
Who is here after the sti was canceled by subaru
I traded in my 2015 STI for a 2018 Forester XT and couldn't be happier. It's sad that they had to discontinue the turbo for the 2019 models.
I wouldn’t exange my 2.0 liters 2003 Blobeye STI PPP for this one honestly... not fond of the looks 🤨
I own a 2003 jdm sti v limited, the Peter solberg edition and I wouldn't trade it for 2 of these. I love the look and drive of the blobeye sti.
anyone that says a stock sti understeers clearly doesn't know how to drive it. You gotta get the weight transfer to the front then smoothly transition back on the throttle. Can you make it oversteer even? The answer is a resounding yes. You just have to put forth the effort to learn how to drive the car...
Thankfully it’s been improved over the last twenty years and makes 5 more horsepower than it did..... what?
i come for the intro's and stay for the reviews. Bravo lol
Semitone higher. 🤦♂️ I mean come on. Lol. I tried not to laugh for that one. Failed!
It doesn't seem accurate to you?
Lol Spoiler From the Future: you buy one. Because there is no new one. "Swansong" was tragically prophetic.
Also, for the life of me, I'll never understand why all these review channels, when talking about the STI, complain that it doesn't have the latest luxuries - like VR this, HUD that, massaging front seats. Folks, you are totally missing the point of the car. It's a race car for Pete's sake. It's not your mom's cushy Merc SUV. All that stuff adds cost, weight, and doesn't make the car drive, perform or handle any better. "But the car is $40K!" you scream. Yah, because it has a bulletproof trans, THREE differentials (TWO of which are mechanical - go look up the cost of a Quaife), beefy everything, very well sorted OEM suspension, and the whole platform can be modified quite well (assuming you don't do dumb things). The money you spend is not for luxury goods. It's for track chops, which this car has. If you want all that driver assist stuff, go review an Acura or something. Stop dinging the STI for not having it. It's not meant to have it, on purpose.
This is one of the best review videos I've seen. Clean, simple, and to the point.
Honestly super outdated interior looks like something from 2014-2016 with a tiny touch of today. If i might as well add the body is getting old and clunky it’s outdated as well and theres nothing about it that makes you feel like it’s a 2020 car rather a 2014-2016 again. I can’t wait for the new body it’s a great car but the whole styling is stopping me from ever owning one.
I’d take a 2008-2014 body style over the new one any day. Oh, and I did. I drove the 2022 WRX and it’s very responsive but she shifts feel lifeless.
Rest In peace you brilliant, thrilling, unreliable peace of art..#gonebutneverforgotten
I think theyre retiring the engine but not the car
This car is so beautiful
Lol, buuuuurrrrrrn. OK, now I'll watch past the intro.
@@Gandalf721 true. More of just a burn.
Probably best intro
Lol the torque dip on the BRZ FA engine curve.
L G header and tune baby lol
Was that mentioned in this video? I missed that bit
Bryan Liguori in the first scene. Where Jason drew the power curves
Ohh the illustration lol yeah, it's a thing. I need headers and a tune. Or an STI.
That was actually great acting at the beginning by EE. I had to watch it a few times. Very funny!
This is so classic, watching Throttle House and Engineering Explained collaboration just made me so giddy inside... like a little kid watching a favorite cartoon on Saturday morning so many years ago. Well done guys!
I used to have a 2020 STI that looked just like the one in this video that I traded for a 2018 S5 because of an electric issue subaru couldn't fix. I'm really happy with the S5, but I still miss that clunky little car every time I see one on the road.
You had me at, “this is the last iteration...”
Year after year, subaru keeps getting worse and worse. Other companies have grown their horsepower. Subaru, since 2004 have done nothing. Cut the STi, make their cars bigger, heavier and the same or lower horsepower. Ive owned MANY subarus and dont plan on buying another.
Q: Do you buy a STI?
A: No, but you contract it!
*Personal Contact Purchase it is!*
I think they are very good cars for my opinion the best, I own my self the diamond edition STI. It was a little pricey, but worth it to have one of 30 cars built.
I have owned 2 of these in the past and it’s the best car I’ve ever owned… definitely looking into one now a days
Miss my 2006 Sti. 400hp, no traction control, no stability control. It was a blast to drive. Unfortunately, the Sti has not changed that much since 2004. It needs more power.
Just get the hawk eye sti and save some $$$ its the same motor lol.
I heard that when you step in a 2015 wrx or sti, you'll be overwhelmed with all the tech in the interior...
I bought the '19 in March and adore it. Your review is spot on! it is a modern take on what made me love driving in the 90's and is a jack of all trades. but...It does have a lot of road noise that needs to be droned out with an aftermarket exhaust so you enjoy the deafening roar. Well done gents!
How's the car doing now? I got my '19 right at the end of 2020 with 9400 mi on the clock. I'm at 38k now, and it's still doing great. Upgraded the brake pads, put Motul gear oil in the trans and diffs, tires, and oil changes every 3-4k. And the necessary muffler delete :)
