"How did a 19 year old get an STI?"
He didn't wear a condom, obviously.
Lil Bill raw dawg
No.
Lil Bill and apparently his parents didn’t either

The name amplifies this
He sold weed to buy that car

Weird how every review starts out funny and informative, then somehow turns into a deep, thought provoking life lesson.
I was just thinking that lol

@Jeff Dittburner omg I never saw It before your comment that's yeah genuinely unnerving

as ridiculous as the wing is, the car looks very strange without it.
yr
An odd statement given how many more imprezas they sell than sti's 😂
It’s one of those things. Guys with STIs do wing deletes and guys with WRXs will willfully trade their trunks to add the wing.
I’m by no means a ricer, and as a Wrx owner myself, I know that the stock performance is nothing to write home about, but the spoiler completes the look in my opinion. Although I have the Wrx not the sti, so my car has the shorter spoiler on it.
Exactly, without the wing, the STi looks just like the regular Impreza WRX. There has to be something to differentiate the two.
"turbocharged can of axe body spray" fucking brilliant
shake its hand
Bro-off valve. That's my new favorite term, congrats.

Mr. regular talks about Sti's like they beat him as a kid
What if Brian's grandma got ran over by an Impreza?
PoopOnThe2nd Best comment I've seen
PoopOnThe2nd your butt hurt sounds like the sti spanks your ass in a way you like
Most cars he roasts in an amusing fashion, but he seems to have some real saltiness towards the STi.
Its a four door sports car, the angst is justified.
*a female high school teacher of mine had a 2011 WRX STi 5-door and we constantly tried to get her to rip it out of the parking lot* and *she never did.*
:(
reminds me of my 60-something elementary school principal with a yellow S2000
You'd be surprised how many people who'd never even think about going fast buy fast Subarus here in Switzerland.
She probably didn't wanna get fired lol
@@JerzeyJimmy I study automotive engineering and it's ironic that the career principal drives the most boring car in the campus
"In perfect 19 year old fashion he completely overdid the mods that he put on there"
I couldn't even afford to mod my car at 19
I couldn't even afford a car at 19yo
Am 19 but I drive my moms car cause im broke and can't get a car for myself
Dela Kidzz, Do what I did. Sell yourself lol jk.
I’m 19 and drive a 2010 Legacy. Great car. Would really love to have a WRX but it would definitely stay stock lol
I just slowly build my 06 it’s just gonna be a couple years long project for me
I was 19 when I bought mine. And 20 when I dropped a racing clutch into it rendering it completely uncomfortable to drive. - sincerely, a 22 year old STi owner in regret.
my friend just bought a prelude with a stage 3 racing clutch like why lol
Dumb ass
Why does a racing clutch make it uncomfortable to drive

I love that he called it the gainswich "Jr"; as if to imply there is a more ludicrous version.
Oh yeah; that one is two steaks with a spread of Marmite, sprinkled with a light dusting of opioids.
@@thejay8963 dont forget the whey and anabolic steroids

it needed to be said. hazelnuts ain't peanuts, yo!
Side note: You can tell if an 06/07 Accord V6 is a manual from the outside by looking at the badge. If 'V6' is colored red, it's a stick shift.
deloreanman14 huh cool learned something new thanks.
deloreanman14 I'm in the US good luck finding a red badge here.
A friend of mine has a 07 v6 sedan with a manual and it's the only one I've ever seen.
deloreanman14 now Ima go paint mine red 😂
deloreanman14 I can change the stick into 1-2-D3-D 😂😂😂
I think that's one of the reasons I like WRXs, and especially STIs. The people who own an STI, even a clapped out, modded to death one, LOVE their cars. They might not even understand that love, and it might be a horrible Bobby Brown abusive "Lifetime Restraining Order" kind of love, but they love their STI.
And in my mind, that's better then people who lease a base model Kia Soul because "Well, its cheap and I like being higher to see over traffic".
I have a 21 year old one, annoying exhaust and all. Still love it. I'm 40 and probably look like a complete ass behind the wheel but.....
Bless this man's heart and soul for bringing this sti back to stock
I would listen to the Roman sing a full STI cover of Africa
I would love nothing more than to have that.
Why is everyone so surprised that the parents bought him this car? I've seen spoiled kids with cars that cost twice as much
Yeah it's a ten year old Subaru, I wouldn't turn it down (I ride a moped) but it's hardly the height of decadence.
It's like a $16-18k car the last time I was looking at them regularly, if that.
Not exactly heinous, but definitely more than most 19 year olds should have. Still, there were kids at my high school driving new BMWs/Benzes while I was putting around in a car that had been pulled kicking and screaming from the 1980s. Seeing as the STi's only valued at maybe a sixth of what a lot of those kids got to drive, it's not too extreme.
Shit, even the preppy girls who got new Corollas at the time were rolling around in wheels that were technically more valuable
techno.logic I went to high school with a kid whose dad bought him a brand new STI. He totaled it about a month later. For the rest of the school year he drove his dad's '78 Corvette pace car.
Come to Seattle, and check out Chinese UW students driving brand new Maseratis, Audi R8's, ///M3s and C63 AMGs that Mom and Dad got for them, when they probably never even got behind the wheel of any car before they
came to the USA to study, its really absurd.
Same here in L.A. near UCLA
90% of the people who buy these cars don't buy them to leave them stock and thats ANY age bracket
If your a collector . Mint examples in Australia selling as much as $31000 USd
Cars are meant to be used and in addition this is definitely a popular car for modding
cowdoodles but unfortunately mr regular is right, most of their mods make it worse
whewmancool maybe in HIS experience but there are plenty of these cars driving around modded and reliable
im 18 with a mostly stock 2005 wrx (aside from exhaust and intake) and plan to keep in that way
a turbocharged can of axe body spray, that was beautiful
The intercooler sprayer is meant to be used when youre driving the car hard, such as at a track or dirt course. When it gets that hot, it really does help.
A Subaru review with no vape puns? Doesn't feel right
"It has a bigger spoiler than the end of The Sixth Sense"
YES !!
WHAT D:
Did you pronounce the "S" in Illinois to piss me off specifically?
I KNOW he knows better!
ThePlanBPill I relate to this
That's it, I'm calling it Pentsylvania from now on.
Maybe. I live in Illinois and it annoys a lot of people when you pronounce the "S". So I think I did that purposely to be funny and to upset people who live in Illinois.
ThePlanBPill i bet he did
"In Gran Turismo One no matter what you do to the car it _gets better_
Heh.
you didnt use the word rally in your video...non-valid review..
oof
seriously. as hilarious and well intended as this review is, I'd rather drive this car due to its racing pedigree, I mean that's why people drive these cars and others like it. You don't need other's recognition to drive a car you truly appreciate and enjoy anyway
@@DavidFlores-jn1yg you got that. this is simply his opinion. enjoy what you love.
Always my attraction.
Nor did he mention the great Collin McRae.. tisk tisk... r.i.p. Collin
The recall didn't pertain to sti's they have aluminum control arms. All other imprezas including wrx's and ' foresters were involved in it
Except the 2006 WRX. It did have the aluminum control arm. Then on 2007 they reverted back to steel.
As an EMBRAER pilot, I'm offe...actually, I fly the 170. You're right about the 145.
170 mafia
LOL I meet such a wide variety of people in RegularCars comments.
Aww, they are sweet little jets. Time building for the majors.
"It has seats, they're not exactly impressive"
Well, are they... imprezzive?
Best ending song so far!! Kudos to The Roman.
Some one get this man a lexus is300 to review. And a manual one to. Or you could always come out to Illinois and you can review mine ;D
Ryan Griffith or an SC
Would actually be really interested to see what he has to say about SCs
Ryan Griffith I think the SC 300 is better but to each his own. But finding a clean manual sc 300 is much harder to find than an is300 manual
YES PLS. I've been requesting this forever hahaha. I could say he could come to Canada to review mine, but that's not gonna happen so ya. Also Manual would be a better review.
I've got an extremely clean '92 manual SC but I'm out in California :( if Mr. Regular ever comes out here for reviews I'd love for him to review it
You almost broke the limit with that Sephiroth joke.
Hehe I see what you did there
Did he just call Nutella peanut-
Its hazelnut reeeeee
See the reason I want one of these is the World Rally Championship. When I was growing up I first saw these on TV driven by Petter Solberg and the like, I wanted one so bad. That idea lives on with me. I'd like to have a new one but the gas mileage is so bad I'd rather wait and buy a 997.
The Focus WRC never had a roadlegal counterpart (you know, turbo AWD making close to 300hp).
Evan Wade Me too except I fist saw the rally car in Gran Turismo 4.
Diego Ruiz Well right now the rally Focus that Ken Block drives has the Focus RS
Evan Wade I wanted one because of the old Colin McRae games on ps1 and watching the rally's (I live in wales so there's a lot of em)
Good choice with the 997 and if its anything like the 996, in another few years they'll be really affordable. I'd love a black & orange 997 GT3RS.
Hey don't forget rally. On gravel, the only competitor on dirt is an EVO
Or the very old Celica GT4 and Delta HF
Diego Ruiz For sure, but it's not really contempory with this car. The three champions of the 90's
“Just because the glove fits doesn’t mean you can’t still shake the hand that’s wearing it”
An O.J. reference, yes? But I can't connect it to the car.
@@Redmenace96 It's not an OJ reference. What he means is that even if though all of the stereotypes about the sti and the people that drive them and put gaudy ridiculous mods on them are true, that doesn't mean we cannot accept them as just other people that love cars and love working on them, albeit with different tastes. If the glove fits, ie. if they actually are an axe wearing dude-bro, we can still respect them and put forth an effort to understand what it is they love about the STI.
Mr. Regular's bully drove an STI didn't he?
no
Yes
Yes
The people who drive sti's were the ones who were bullied
Lol, I had a sti (2004 in fact, way back in 2006) when I was 19 so I got a big ol pile of salt to watch this video with, but turns out I was an awesome 19 year apparently because I knew how to use google and not do all that stupid shit. I wasn't my first "fast" car at least and I loved the thing more than anything before or since.
Fun fact, I sold it to a family who was buying it as one of their son's first cars. He wrecked it in 2 weeks. Very sadaru
I also went the wingless route, turns out it makes a difference on the highway much to my surprise. The vertical fins seriously keep it straight at highway speeds. And you can definitely burn through 1st with very minor bolt ons safely ;). However, stock kind of sucks for all the reasons you mentioned. All you need is full exhaust + ~real actual tune~ and a gm solenoid and poof, you have a raw exciting responsive car. If you want a stock STi just buy a WRX, youre just wasting money.
bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzrrrrrrrtttttttttttttttttttttt WATER IC SPRAYERRRRR
some questions
1.) was it stable?
2.) was it reliable?
3.) was it fun with light performance mods?
Mr.loltraktor Let me answer those question
No
No
Maybe
Nick Rynearson alright that's all I needed to know
A stock sti is better than all these riced out stis. Everyone mods and kills it. I have a stock and I'm going to keep it that way. From New to 1million miles
These are always so entertaining. LOL. One of you best reviews. I love it
@4:53 "This is the car for the guy who's ever only owned one version of Microsoft Word. The pirated kind." Good one, Mr. Regular. Kudos and applause.
I read this comment just as it came up in the video. Holy fuck
Fun Fact: Manufacturers that recall vehicles for corrosion in a salt belt states don't limit the recall to only those states. All states can and will perform the recall if the vehicle is believed to either come from a salt belt state or that may travel to a salt belt state at some point during the normal vehicle's lifetime, which is impossible to know for most vehicles. Also, that fact wasn't as fun as I anticipated.
Why anyone would live in a cold state, when you can live on the beach, is beyond me
My beautiful and amazing Princess yeah lets just shove the entire usa into california. Smart
Why would anyone live in a hot/humid place is beyond me.
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess yeah. Because California isn't expensive and Florida isn't bat shit crazy
wait... people pay for microsoft word!?

This is my dream car, only in blue... same year, and same year.
I meant same wheels lol
Gunnar DeRoss same actually
Stock STI's are rarer than the steaks my dad makes when my Indian neighbours come to visit.
firebird188 😂😂😂😂
And spec b's stock are even rarer
Anybody remember, in about 2004 when the STi first came to the US, Hot Rod Magazine did a cover story comparing it to the then new Mustang Cobra? The Terminator Cobra. The cover was a blue STi and a yellow Cobra. I was about 13 at the time and my dad worked at a Subaru dealer. From that point I've always wanted an STi.
I miss the old car culture. Nowadays it's all about what others think of your car and trying to stand out the most or going with the trend. I remember when people did it because they liked it, because they wanted to, not to show off to others. And I feel like car manufacturers are catering to this new type of car culture, which is why there hasn't really been anything quite new and exciting for quite a number of years...
E - lame culture
Nate Pranaitis agreed 💯👌 it doesn't help that all modern cars 2010-present look all the same and they all look like fuckin space ships in the inside with all of the unnecessary gagets n buttons.
Found it, In case you want to read it again.

Wow this is crazy cause i was a senior in high school and actually did a report from that article. Made me want one so bad. Have always remembered that. About 8 years later i ended up with a 02 wrx. Yes it is modded and loud. But each and every time i drive it i have fun. That is what makes a car for me. Still want a 04 sti lol. One day maybe.
love it. you forgot that any of these winter-induced-recalls, like the one for RAW FUEL LEAKAGE ON COLD START TSB all took like another 5 months to be applied to CANADA. Yes! winter seasonal caused recalls were actioned and approved earlier south of the boarder!
anyway, I have a stock looking bugeye and all the tweeners look at it as a blank canvas for their next pep boys visit...
I really hope it doesn't get infected with the S13 issue on having no more, or at the most, a handful of unmodified cars. As time goes on, it'll be impossible to find an unmodified Impreza of this age....kinda sad, though I can see why they get modified to insanity.
This comment needs more thumbs up.
I work at pep boys, and before you make assumptions, I only buy oil from there, not useless aftermarket items. But in writing because there are way more middle aged -> older people that come in than teens. Places like pep boys / AutoZone / oreilleys are getting smaller by the year because they keep losing customers, however service and commercial departments do great.
That fuel leakage issue was a strange one - I had to pay the repair out of pocket (despite showing the dealership a copy of the TSB), and then a month later Subaru of America sends me a check reimbursing the cost of the repair. I was happy to be reimbursed, but why not just do the damn recall? Afraid of negative PR? It's not like I didn't have some 4 other recalls done already.

"My STi makes 300 horsepower"
A few years ago I bought my 02 WRX. The guy molested it pretty bad, and even had a box of various STI stickers he was getting ready to paste all over it. 4-5 years later and I'm STILL trying to get things the way they should.. he screwed it up that bad. Still trying to find a decently priced ac assembly, and the time to get the radio working. Also gotta take the time to get the backlight on the console working again. It runs decently after the recent 8 month engine rebuild project I did, but not quite where I think it should be. Next will be swapping out whatever injectors he haf with OEM ones and tuning the car.
I love the feel of the Embraer city jumpers, you can feel everything
When you hit turbulence it makes you feel like the world is ending.
Taint Slammer LV 2.
Opinions on aircraft like the Embraer really go to show that there's two types of flyers.
Type 1: Doesn't really like or care for the act of flying, doesn't really trust airplanes, just wants it to be over as quick as possible. They see the Embraer as a rattly, cramped, piece of junk, much like a snooty businessman may look at a WRX. They'd rather fly in an expensive, "Safer" aircraft, like a Gulfstream. Or, if they're not fancy enough to fly in a private jet, at least something made by Boeing.
Type 2: Thrill of the moment, seat of the pants type flyers. These guys, myself included, absolutely love flying. The acceleration, the roar of the engines, the buffeting of the wind against the aircrafts body panels. We don't care how long the flight is, we'll never be bored with flying. Especially on an aircraft like the Embraer. You don't sleep on an Embraer, you observe. You feel. You understand that you are traveling over 400 miles per hour, through air and clouds, and you enjoy it. You are connected. You're no longer just a passenger, you are part of the journey.
Aaaand we found a type two flyer
its Brazil way of emote people
That Lostprophets joke... So wrong, but so right. Laughed way harder at that than I probably should have.
of course he reviews the most beat up sti he could find
sparkscarz Well how often do you run into one that isnt already molested?
theyre all beat up by now.
sparkscarz could you find a mint eg6 Civic?
Dennis El Menace Sanchez Lopez lmfao
This car is like many other nice car. If it's stock it's low miles or un-modified or trashy lies.
Great review Mr. Regular.
Love the two-layered vocals at the end Roman.
Solid work guys.
Wow, this is pretty accurate. Someone I know had their STI handed to them by their parents, as well as ten thousand dollars to make it fast: rotated turbo kit, big injectors/ pump on e85, and other miscellaneous bits, and it only makes 390whp. My other friend who bought his STI straight out of pocket has tuned and worked his car to where its in the 400whp range without spending a crap ton on stupid parts. Just goes to show the wide range of STI owners out there. There are good ones and bad ones.
"ALL WHEEL DRIVE WILL DRIFT IF YOU TRY HARD ENOUGH" me and my friends scream in the high school parking lot Sunday night as we crowd around my friend's moms Audi A4

This has got to be one of the best reviews I've seen in a while. Thank you Sir. Have a subscribe.
Kudos to the owner for fixing the shit mods. Also I for one like the styling of this car, wing and hood scoop and all. Its a bit visually loud but its still pretty conservative. Nowhere near as bad as the new Civics lmao.
"Bro off valve" I died
Does everyone just have filthy fucking cars? I mean cmon...
Cars are often dirty in places with snowy winters because a bunch of road grime and brake dust gets mixed into the snow. The grime stays on the car after the snow has melted and few people wash the grime off during the winter since it might end up snowing again really soon.
I clean my interior quite a bit, most people don't!
Zor, it's dirty as fuck inside
Your aphorisms are amazing. Just because the glove fits, doesn't mean you can't shake the hand wearing it. I love this so much.
I saw the owner and said wait, the owner of this car is a 19 year old wearing a flat brimmed DC hat. Then you said the previous owner was a 19 year old. Yup, a 19 year old gets a WRX and what do they do? Jack it all up. Cue up the Mr. Regular voice "These parts say racing so I have to put them on my WRX and it will be the most bad ass WRX because it has racing parts!"
Hah, he says "Illinoise"!
The S is silent, because its french.
Nah, man. He means it was recalled for anyone who tried to listen to Sufjan Stevens in it. Turns out the stock CD player hated that album and would express its displeasure by peeing on the control arm. Subaru makes weird cars.

Try telling any STI owner they have just a "normal" car 😂 they think it was built by the hands of Jesus.
found the sti owner
So happy i found this channel. Never laughed so hard at a car review in my entire life!
"The interior...HAS SEATS!" I laughed really hard at that.
So, Mr. Regular, when did you join team Emperor?
Say that shit to Bunta's face Mr. Regular
“We’ll get to the engine later”
*engine blows up in the meantime*
This review had me in tears. great video man
That was a beautiful outro, Roman. Thank you for that.
fuck the lost prophets got me right in the feels ;.;
Curlehh King SAME
Curlehh King till you remember the singer tried raping a baby or some shit
rosie684 tried? he was involved with multiple cases- the one he got nailed for he convinced some roadie chick to bring her baby with her when they wen to have sex and did all kinds of stuff to it.
love the music, but yeah, hard to enjoy it now.
theo laf this makes it harder for me. I knew that he got convicted etc. but I didn't know details
Agreed. I remember being in high school when the fake sound of progress came out. I had never heard anything like it.
Love your conclusion. This is the argument I brave whenever someone I know comments about MR BIG DICK taking off at the intersection. They're not compensating for anything, they're just having fun with something they love.
Watching this after having bought a new '17 one is making me appreciate it more in how calm it is.
One of the best sounding cars on the road. Love that bass-y rumble
OOH 6MT! Accord 6MT! Please review the 6MT!! I swear if someone on the east coast doesn't contact Mr Regular...
We need to hear more of "the voice".
The ending statement was good. Back when I was young and started playing the gt series (at about 5 or 6) it always seemed to me that modding the cars would make them slower, but that could have been because I had no idea what braking before turns were 😂😂😂😂 my point of saying this is because of that, I believe that my view of automotive perfection is usually a stock vehicle with little to no modifications, where as as you said those who truly got that mods=faster brought a mod community. It's something I never actually stopped to think about. Great review.
mr regular i love your videos you make. never stop make out videos. I like you talk
about everything the cars history, because it built the car in the first place, for what people it built< and more
I've had two V6 6MT Accords (the "6-6" if you will). They're a lot of fun, and affordable for just about anyone. Bought the second last year for five grand with navigation. Please, please, do a review on one of these! Come to SLC and you can review mine, lol. But I do think it's one of the most understated and underdiscussed cars in the realm of "car people".
Ryan Agreed. I have an '06 6-6 Sedan. It's a keeper.
The civic is better
"How can a 19 year old afford an STi"
Me: starts sweating
Your reviews are friggin hilarious, thank you.
One of my favorite intros so far 😂 love your take on songs cx " how I love a dude, bro car, never drove a new mopar, so blame it on my sti baby " 😂😂
Mr. Regular's Neon? Please tell me more!
TCOABS. Not a taco ABS but a turbocharged can of Axe body spray.
Reverting the engine back to stock.
I did the same thing to my 350 swapped CJ5. Previous owner threw in the biggest cam Summit sells and a crappy true dual exhaust set up. Took a while, but got the cam switched to a near stock profile (very mild upgrade) and the exhaust is back to 2-to-1 with a Cat. Runs like a clock and I also reimplemented the emission lines and stock air cleaner so it doesn’t smell of gas much.
I feel like I'm visiting family, Mr.Regular. So many places I recognize from the collegeville and phoneixville areas.
This video is a MASTERPIECE
On the topic of how he got it at 19, a kid at my high school, hes a senior now, got a job sometime sophmore year, saved every penny and bought a brand new evo X
btw the s in illinois is silent. so its pronounced illinoi
I thought the comment about the glove fitting and shaking the hand was pretty deep, then I heard Roman's harmonies in that outro song. Aye!
Your longball references make me happy on so many levels. I'd be amazed if anyone got all of them, I get most, but not all.
Regular Regional Jet Reviews
I knew a kid who was given a (blue) WRX STI after getting his *learner's permit*. Fucking guy had Colin McRae's race car and my dream car as a birthday present. Rich parents, there ya go.
Edit- OH, and that recall you mentioned DID affect the Forester. I know, because I unsuccessfully tried to get my mom to buy a WRX, and she ended up buying a Forester. It was later recalled for the very same control arm problem.
Darn rich-kids huh? lol.
My wife's stepdad did the same thing when she turned 16. It wasn't a STI, but it was a brand new car. When I got my permit I got to go Walmart and get my own set of keys cut for my dad's Chev Celebrity lol.
Which was still great....and all the freedom it let me have etc.
But a WRX STI ???....😠💰
I have mega-rich 1st cousin's, and you wouldn't believe the shit they had or got to do growing up to today. My father was a factory worker so I understand all that 😠💰 shit.
Hey, those "gifts" usually end up as anchors later on in life, when it's up to the kid to go out and produce enough money to make their own way in life. Don't think you got short-changed because you had to work for what you own. I know I sure don't, my dad worked construction and my mom has her own business. Being able to buy my own brand new 2013 MX-5 Miata (nearly) outright was a dream come true for a middle class 20-something like me. Every time I get in that car, I look around and think "Yeah, this shit is fucking MINE."
Fun fact- My high school buddy's sister was given a brand new RX-7 for getting her license. Her dumbass boyfriend totalled it, and it was replaced with an Audi A4 or A6 (I forget). Okay, that's not fun, but it IS true.
Ohyeah, I totally agree.
For me it was my brand new 2007 Mazdaspeed3. And yes, I proudly left it stock. lol
killerskillet wait do you mean rx7 or rx8
My apologies, RX-8. That awesome-looking suicide door coupe, last of the rotary engines.
Edit- I was never in it, but you could tell it was about as close to a stripped-down track rocket as you could ever hope to see, apart from the MX-5...
The control arm on my 05 wrx snapped in half when the previous owner had it and it leaked transmission fluid out and ended up needing a full rebuild at the cost of the dealer. Good old northern winters
I bought a 2018 STI for the 3 LSD diffs, the analog feel, and the adjustable handling dynamics. Also the minimal to no computer intervention. And the 6 piston brembos. And they make awesome turbo noises and the engine sounds like a wookie climaxing inside of a pissed off hippopotamus. And EJ’s have always been reliable for me even up to 700whp.
