    Hot take: I like the base WRX still having the turn key to start style. Reminds me of the older generations. The premium and up have the fob w/the push to start button. I may be slightly biased with my first two cars being SG Foresters.

    • @wickedgriptuning
      @wickedgriptuning ปีที่แล้ว +10

      What people "want" versus what they'll actually buy are entirely different things. Talk is cheap and unfortunately car people talk a lot. Car buyers don't have the slightest concept of what it takes to bring a car to market, let alone for enthusiasts models. Sure, the people that want the badass versions will buy them, but there's only so many of those people out there. Once the initial run gets bought up, then they stop selling because the actual buyers already have them. So now the manufacturer has a bunch of cars that won't sell until the next major round of changes. It's a losing business model, which is why the cars that "everyone wants", don't really get built, except in limited numbers and with a high price tag. You want more badass cars, talk with your wallet and there'd be more options.

    Definitely goes to show how much the exhaust sounds can make or break your driving experience. A decent nameless cat back or Invidia exhaust on the new Rex would probably enhance the fun factor by a huge amount.
    I have a 2016 Forester XT, and as fast as it was, it was just too quiet compared to my 13 Impreza with a Borla exhaust. Bolting on a Nameless kit made it so much more fun to drive on a daily basis.
    A quiet exhaust is like going through life without music. Not as critical as water or food, but it definitely enhances the experience so much with a soundtrack!

      It's about the same to steal a push start, look up relay attacks, in laymans terms thiefs use a signal booster/relay to boost key signals to the car (ussually when it's parked outside a house) and then once it's started they can drive so far without the key and then strip it or load it on a trailer wherever they want. With a key they have to pick the door lock (or smash a window), then pick or smash the ignition, and most cars also have rfid in the keys so if the ignition doesn't sense the rfid in the key it toggles the security system and locks out the ignition for 5-10 minutes

    I own the most fully loaded 2022 WRX with a Manual Transmission that I could buy. It does have the push button start and the big screen and suede everywhere possible. Being that I used to drive a 2007 Saturn Aura before I bought the WRX, it is quite the upgrade for me. I have soooo much fun driving it. I know it is not a super modified car like your Orange one, but I can still drive it hard and fast, and if something breaks, it is covered under warranty and I don't have to spend many hours fixing it. I get the appeal of modifying a vehicle if you have the time and expertise to work on it, but when I have work 50-60 hours per week and spend the rest of my wife and kids, a stock new WRX is a very fun vehicle to drive.
    Unfortunately, my wife enjoys driving the WRX too. So she plans on taking it from me once I buy my new car, which will be a 2016 Focus RS.

    After owning my 22 WRX for a year and a half now can confirm car is fun. Have some light mods with a catback and other misc stuff and just doing the catback livens up the car a lot. The car with the plastic def doesn't look as good as the old ones, but if you look at AFD's wrx it looks amazing. Coming from my bugeye to this the turbo lag is pretty much non existent in the 22 and man at least at autocross the thing is a monster. Having people who own other WRX's drive it say they love the car. Give the car a chance looks arent everything cause you can change it with after market parts which is what we do anyway!

    Honest guys, i bought an 07 base model 5speed for a daily driver, proceeded to ABSOLUTELY FALL IN LOVE with it driving in the first real snow and i'll be watching the whole series high car low car on these just to get some ideas. I'm a muscle car type, i have the firing order to every v8 chevy built between like 58 and 99 tattooed to my knuckles. i have no idea what im doing but i have an empty engine stand and a desire to go fast. thanks for putting this out there!

    E85 is mostly ethanol (85%) and modified engines can be harder to start with it - especially on colder days.
    In Brazil, where I live, most road cars are flex fuel and many of them have a small gasoline tank under the hood that helps on the cold start. Not sure if this is a common thing elsewhere or something adapted for this market.
    By the way, when ethanol was first introduced here, most cars still used carburetors. Ethanol engines were notoriously difficult to start - you had to pull the “choke” to momentarily get more fuel into the chamber, say a prayer, and trust it would start in less than five attempts.

      MK7 for the easy win. I have owned MK 1-7 except #5. 4 is the worst. 1 and 2 are a hoot but underpowered by modern standards. I was going to upgrade my 7 to an eight, but the interior on the 8 stinks. Needs real buttons and the non digital dash IMO. I don't plan on ever getting rid of my MK7, it is a nearly perfect daily.

      I grew up with VW, my first and my current car have both been GTI's (Mk5 and now mk4). My ranking is:
      1: Mk4, it's cheap, iconic, modable, and looks great
      2: Mk7, amazing performance with a clean interior to match
      3: Mk2, you can do ANYTHING to this car
      4: Mk6, it's kinda just a slightly slower Mk7, it's meh
      5: Mk1, it's the original sure, but good luck getting them to work longer than a week
      6: Mk8, it looks CLEAN on the outside, but inside it's plain with a fat screen in the middle
      7: Mk5, it looks alright, but they put biodegradable wires and that's just a terrible idea
      8: Mk3, probably the most unreliable option on the list, unlike the Mk1 it's not nearly as noticeable on the road since it's kinda the dullest looking one imo
      Still all nice ass cars that I recommend to people who want an older sporty hatchback that stands out from the JDM's!

    For me, you cant beat reliability. Imagine you're working all week, looking forward to the track, finally get there on the weekend, and you break down and gotta tow it home, AND get it back together by monday morning. The middle way is better to me. Late-model used, moderate mods. OR mod the shit out of a track car that is NOT the daily driver. That is the way, really. And if you were truly gonna rebuild the whole damn thing, you dont HAVE to start with a WRX, you could use any impreza or whatever you like.

    I bought a 2002 WRX in Arizona in late 2001, one of the first to be sold in the state. I drove it for the next 18 years, and went through big modification phases, ultimately at over 440whp on 91 pump gas. Some of my best driving experiences ever, and a huge chunk of my lifetime. Yet Subaru is dead to me now, which makes me very sad. The Toyota influence, the stubborn refusal to evolve the cars, the disgusting imposition of the CVT, the loss of the STi and the prestige and presence that came with it, the abandonment of competitive rally racing... it's just another appliance now, a Toyota mind-numbing factory product from salarymen and bureaucrats.

    In Canada we get the sport tech package, it's the full trim package but comes in standard. The stock gen 5 wrx out performs stock gen 4 sti, with a much more robust base to push performance. You add 3k of mods to the vb and it will turn just as many heads as your full build. Or, 5k to upgrade Intake, straight piped, and tuned it will take the trophy every time.

    Also one of the Subaru engineers at our track event explained why the new VB wrx handles so poorly is because it's the first WRX ever to be built on their SUV based global platform, thus using the SUV's open front diff and open rear diff, no LSD, instead using the SUV's electronic braking vectoring. Brightside though is it's comfortable like a SUV.
