One of the most unique and simple body styles ever developed
Sometimes simple is best.
Evo 7?
Its basically a ford escort/sierra/contour kind of look with aero and vents everywhere
One of my favorite wrx sti models
@@fabrb26 Its vaguely similar yes but so are most 90s era cars. It has a lot of design features and body lines found on none of these cars. Plus the unique advantage of the boxer engine allowing for a much lower hood/bonnet. The ratio of the windscreen height to the rest of the car is also very clear looking at the car in person, especially when you sit in it.
What a legend! Standing out in that rain, we know you love cars.
"You can push it with confidence"
Isnt that subaru's motto?
Confidence in Motion.
Well said!
Jdm Masters the best. Capt make a review of your ek9 please
I had one of those a few years ago...worse decision ever to sell it 😢...loved that car so much. Every time you drive it it puts a smile on your face and that distinct boxer engine rumble 🙌🏼
Damn. STI umbrella. This is the most STI'ed video I've ever seen. Thank you
Great work! I am in Tachikawa and have a very nice 1996 DC2 Integra Type R, a 1996 Prelude Type-S, and a 1995 WRX STI Wagon 555 edition if you would be interested in doing a review on any of them. I love what you are doing with the channel.
Best JDM cars review so far.
Anyone that can stand outside in the cold and rain and make a vid work gets my approval and thumbs up 👍
One of the best, if not the best and most informative videos I’ve seen on an Impreza. Engaging from start to finish, well edited and an honest approach to the whole production. Congratulations, a great CZcamsr and presenter.
Thank you once again Capt Bradford-San for bringing another Gran Turismo car to life! I remember so vividly buying one of these cars in the game and thinking I had reached the pinnacle of the WRC!
These 90s cars are becoming so rare now that by default are becoming classic cars just on rarity!
Another brilliant video! Keep up the great work!
Cheers!
NotAPolarBear the JDM cars are finally getting the respect they deserve. Recently three USDM Honda CRX Sis sold for over $25.000 each!
NotAPolarBear one of those just sold on Bring a Trailer for almost $30,000!!!
Those CRXs sold for $25,000 not $25 hahahaha typo
NotAPolarBear waaaaaaa!?! 🙀
This is an incredibly well done, accurate and knowledgeable video. Well done man.
Watching this reminds me of the weather guy outside reporting on the incoming typhoon lol. Thanks for withstanding the cold rain and winds to being us this review! 😊
When I was I kid i remember seeing this style of Subaru all over the place, the best one was the RS version in blue that used to come by the Safeway I worked at. Great times is snowy Colorado, Subaru is the best selling car there.
This quickly became one of my favorite channels. I check often to see if a new video has been posted!
Great video. I also like how it was shot in the rain. Feels refreshing, usually reviews are shot in perfect weather. But this really suits the Subaru, being a legendary rally car. Thank you.
Wish I came across your channel earlier. You don't see very many English youtube channels about Japanese or JDM exclusive cars. Great content. keep it up.
BTW I am learning Japanese and hope to see these gems in person.
I've just come across the channel too and now I'm hooked.
My favorite Impreza...
The VERY BEST car reviewers ive ever seen. If we could have this plus the touge review from hot version, it would be the best show ever!!!!!!
This is one of the nicest, most informative and down-to-earth Impreza reviews I've seen. Excellent work!
Truly appreciate that you stood out in the rain for this great video and i have to say Cashmere Yellow was always my favorite color for a GC Impreza, was always the color i was on the hunt for in the used showroom on GT4. Also that Devil Z cameo was epic, the L Series sounded sweet
Love the review guys, my most favorite impreza generation ever
I'm so glad I found your channel from Albo's, your car knowledge is insanely impressive. Can't wait for more vids and I hope this channel below up!
I love your videos, i originally thought after going on your channel again that you had been making videos for years but you've only had this channel for a few months! absolutely love your content please keep making more!
Excellent channel this a real hidden gem. Really high quality and filled with loads of nuggets of info. No daft music and Instagram obsessed junk. Just the good stuff. Keep it up. Greetings from the UK
I can confirm, Gran Turismo on the PlayStation, introduced everyone I know to the whole Japanese scene, and then some. Truly brilliant game ahead of it's time when it came out. It really conveyed the idea of ownership and progression nicely.
What a Review, thank you very much for taking this much time to make this awesome video ✌
love these reviews, so in depth about everything
Keep up the great work guys, your channel will blow up soon! Simply amazing content!
Very enjoyable real world review of a great car. I've only just come across your channel and I'm hooked already. Thank you!
Much lovely and detailed video. Keep reviews coming Capt
Your info and beautiful shots keep my Jdm auto spirt alive on the US east coast haha. I love how in depth you go! Thanks so much. Absolutely Gran Turismo kid...2 and 3 A spec. And 4. Oh my I learned about the B4 Blizten Legacy through that game. And that's what sparked my Jdm lust. Love this channel..and then spontaneous Rally cars drive thru as I reminisce. Unreal
My experience is the same, fell in love with these cars with Gran Turismo, it's been a dream of mine since childhood. Now I am the lucky owner of a JDM version 1 V-Limited WRX, 250/1000. I would love to see a similar video of the V1, Group A cars also. Thanks for the great journalism!
I'm so glad there are people out are as nerdy as me with 90s Japanese cars
Thank you so so much, I've been looking for reviews everywhere, I wanna buy this one soon since there are some imported in my country, but I just couldn't find a good review anywhere
Again, Many thanks :D
Love your videos!!! Especially at Tomei and the Nissan heritage center!!
im getting worried for you getting in the rain and keep doing your stop your the best youtuber and i love all your content i wish your content could get more attention Big Love
Wow cant believe I am finding this channel now. There is a simmering JDM culture here in Nairobi, Kenya and many people can learn a lot from your channel coz there are many people who own these cars and don't even know why his or her engine is called a boxer. AMAZING CHANNEL AGAIN!!!!!
Bunta's flying saucer!!
I was looking for a initial d reference 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Bunta's is a GC8 Version V, not a VI.
A common misconception as both versions are very similar
@@doabarrellroll69 yes maybe but they really don't differ too much designs staying nearly exact. But still awesome car
Bunta drives a 2 door sti type r.
@@WildDanHibiki yup a GC8 version V but the awesome hood design is same.
Very nice review! In your comparison with the Ver. V, you just forgot the "clutch switch" only avalaible on Ver. VI. I imported my WRX STi Coupe Type R Version 6, in France, 2 years ago, and it is a fabulous car! :)
That Red Rally Art Evo has been one of my favorite cars ever since Gran Turismo 2! So cool!
Lol the Grand Turismo dictionary returns!!! But great review, its so good to see one of my all time favs covered.
I think I'm in love. Such a beauty. Just started interest in JDM cars and this one caught my attention. I hope there is a left hand drive version of this. Great video.
ill give a like just for sticking it out in the rain to give us this great review.
Great video,very nostalgic and makes me want another Impreza Sti. Love to see some reviews on the old school mk4 Supra’s,Celica GT4’s,EK9’s,Dc2 and Dc5’s.
The GC8 Impreza and JDM DC2 Integra are two of my favorite car designs. Both beautiful coupes!
one of my dream car...gc8 version vi and evo vi is just a masterpiece in it class...no need to touch or modify the body design...it's just so freakin evergreen ^^
thanks for the video :)
"Easy to enter, hard to master." I think that succinctly describes these cars.
Another knockout video of a cult classic. Thanks, chaps.
Great review / documentary as always
Fantastic video. I know that I'm a couple of years late to the party, but that was really well done.
Had one but a Type R same color as this. Best car I every owned! The sound of the rain on the umbrella is lovely
This is the Best Channel EVER
Awesome video. Hope to see more Subaru content in the future.
great review guys, as always!
Love the gc gf chassis I own a v5 gf8 wagon in mica blue love it almost finished restoration on it as was neglected by previous owners ant wait to get it back on the road :) love the videos keep them up enjoying the gran turismo cars in real life loved that game too
S15 review please.
Love your channel by the way. Quality content. Keep up the good work.
You do a great job and I really enjoy your videos. Thanks....
Definitely enjoyed your video, didn't know about the ED versus the D between the wrx sti and the wrx
Your channel is a real life Gran Turismo paradise
great review .. keep on coming with good contents regularly ..Also review some of the finest Toyota's pure JDM sports saloons as well such as first gen Mark X , Cresta etc .. thumbs up
Great video! Taught me lots thanks
Thanks for the sacrifice review in the harsh weather conditions.
youre getting a Like just for doing this review in terrible weather. Good job bro
yes you're correct! I'm from the UK and a huge fan of JDM thanks to games like gran turismo and need for speed. currently, i have fn2 type r and would love to see one of these on your channel! HONDA ALL THE WAY! JDM ALL THE WAY!
Love it man the cashmere yellow is such a cool color
Jdm masters the best Chanel of cars!!!! Please a VS with a Lan Evo!!
I owned my v5 sti for 22 great years, never a dull drive
AWESOME CONTENT!!! =) Can't wait for more JDM car reviews!!!...
My Brother in Law has a White one of these here in Australia. Hes a WRX Fanatic, had 5 GC8's up until finding his one, which was his dream car
I'll send him this video. His car has nearly tripled in value since buying it a few years ago
Are they expensive out there? I’ve had my V6 sti for 7 years and it cost me £3k (uk) was an exceptional example at the time too, imported when nearly new & has all history, think it was on 65k when I got it. It’s on 79k now and I’m thinking of selling it, most of the stuff here for sale looks to be crash repaired or clocked.
Looking forward to your review on Fun to Drive! Planning on visiting Japan this April and wanted to rent a DC2 ITR in Hakone.
Excellent video, only negative is that you should show an acceleration run on each car, people want to hear and see how they go. I was disappointed you didn’t do this.
FYI I remember hearing that one of the engineers responsible for the STI Impreza development always ranked the Version 3 STI as the best. It was apparently a little more raw with higher lift cams than the later versions and revved to 8250rpm.
For me though, the ultimate is the original STI, the very first handmade closed deck block model. Very very rare to find now.
My dream collection would be an original STI (not called ver 1, the version name only came after the original ie ver2,3,4,5,6)
A Ver 2 STI Type RA and a Version 3 STI and a Ver 5 STI Type R.
Great cars, better than the EVO’s (I’ve owned both)
The impreza had more character and nice short gearing with a lovely revvy short stroke boxer unit made the drive more fun.
Buy them while you can!!
Very nice review mate! thumbs up! Most of us was raised in the era of all these cars. Please help to review EP82 Toyota GT in your next video. TQVM
I love the gc8 jdm and i love this video ! :)
Would have loved to have heard more of the engine/exhaust sounds. Great work none the less!
The gc8 is my favourite
That's because u have good taste brother 💪
Keep up the good work! Regards from Portugal.
Fantastic detail, very accurate i enjoyed this alot
I would be ecstatic if you guys could review the 2003-2005 Blobeye STI, my favorite car, own one today, but you go into so great detail its amazing. Subscribed btw!
all the things you said are all informative. good job mate! it would be nice if you can make a video of all the sti version from 1 to the current one. 1-6 on how to differentiate other than checking the chassis code and etc. there’s none on youtube. while you’re at it, evos too please! 😆
Bought a version 6 sti type ra , permanently smiling!!! Awesome car.
I just subscribed. Love the content.
Amazing video... I need these magazines and catalogs :-D
I own a Blobeye STI as a daily driver. Absolute blast to drive, it's a godsend in the harsh long winters up north here in MN/WI with winter tires.
Best Jdm chanel after Best Motoring
Had my V5 Type R for almost 2 years now. Such a lovely car to own. Rewarding to drive but not punishing if you make a mistake.
I'm a Mitsi fan BUT this model WRX Impreza and the Legacy RS were the nicest to me back when they were absolute popular in Nz in the late 90s - 2K
great video, looking forward next release. no matter where you are always found resty JDM rear arch lol
Appreciate the effort in the rain.
Guys if you can get your hands on a JZX100 I would love to see a review from you guys.Love the technical info and videos. Awesome stuff
I LOLed at that umbrella struggle haha
20:47 definitely captain. I'll always remember the days i played Gran Tourismo
in love with the color
One of my favourite Japanese cars ever produced and it has to be Cashmere yellow, fabulous!
10:38 "Power Bulge" Oh, I'm going to be reusing that term. Lmao
I've been a Subaru fan since i played GranTurismo2. My fav car to use was a WRX STi Ver. 6 with Blue Mica paint and even when i have cooler & more powerful cars in the game, i always came back to my Impreza. Impreza WRX STi was a very special car to me.
For me it’s not about the looks or the spoiler, the big scoop, the vents, the wheel arches, the intercooler......it’s all about the sound that the boxer engine makes. Subaru absolutely nailed it with this car. Sadly we’ll never see the likes of this legend again.
Love to see you review your ek9 around the mountains
I absolutely learned about tons of JDM cars for the first time from Gran Turismo! One of the main reasons I love the Mitsubishi 3000GT so much, AKA the Mitsubishi GTO. Also part of where my Subaru love comes from. :)
Jesus I thought it rained a lot in Ireland. Love the channel. Owned 2 sti s and an evo 6 back in the day . I have a family now so have a 520d unfortunately. These cars have basically disappeared from Ireland because of co2 output
Great video @JDM Masters!
I would love to see a comparison between the Version 6 STi, 2002 Bugeye STi and the 2005 Blobeye STi :)
