Looking at buying one outright, good thing i found this
A clean one is becoming hard to find. They are a fun car to drive. I’m sure you will enjoy it.
Looking to get this ride soon, great review 🦾🦾
A clean example is becoming harder to find. I’m sure you will enjoy it.
I just bought one from my buddy loving it
Nice video homie :)
Nice one! Yeah it’s a fun car to drive. They are becoming harder and harder to find a clean example.
Super clean car man, love the scoop
Thank you! That’s the best part
The "widebody" you're talking about isn't an STI feature, but is the standard body lines of the sedan GD impreza.
The factory tinted glass is just usual tinted glass. It was an option from out of the showroom, and isn't hard to acquire aftermarket.
The fuel efficiency in my 05 GG WRX is actually quite good. I get 450-500 on a full tank, 450 being the more spirited driving economy.
One con that could be added to this, is the known common rust spots in the rear strut tower.
Man I love these cars!
Thanks mate! So do I!
i love looking at meh scoop too xD
It’s soo good! What year/model have you got?
nice car mate, i’ve got a 2001 WRX STI hatch :D
Cheers!
Lovely car buddy, I have the sedan version. Speed and fuel economy don't go in the same sentence....lol.
Stop comparing your wrx to sti. The Sti are fantastic but not as user friendly as the wrx. Plus with a pro tune on my stock wrx I got 270bhp and 268 ft lbs. Enjoy!!!
very nice wrx u got there wrx's are very great daily drivers if u dont modify them also u can go rally with them from the factory allready stock are very fun to drive and very reliable my advice for the wrx is to dont go with crazy modifications if u relly wnat to daily drive one
Thank you! It’s hard to find a nice one these days.
Great car.. I love my '06 Hawkeye WRX sedan. I'm just not a fan of the 5 speed manual gearbox, too fragile. So once synchro from 3rd to 4th finally gives up it'll be getting an STI box. Other than that I wouldn't change a thing about it.
@Steve Patterson I agree with you and yip it’s a fun car to have!
I'm pulling out cash at the moment to buy one by the end of the week. Can't wait
It’s a fun car. I’m I hope you enjoy it.
How has reliability been?
@@Ballsack44 Solid so far. it was a bit of trouble to get through inspection, but it was lightly modded so that's no surprise. No engine issues in the 5000 miles I've put on it and the car already had 133k miles. The car was semi-well maintained; had a cracked up pipe, shit axle, warped rotors, cracked brake hoses, and a smidge of rust in one of the wheel wells. However, the interior is mint, the timing belt was replaced at 100k miles, 0 accident report, oil changes every 2500 miles, and some tasteful engine mods with a pro tune. Cost me about 3500$ to deal with all that, so I'm 11k deep into this car after buying it, repairing, inspecting it, taxes, and registration.
Definitely took some elbow grease, but it drives like a dream and I honestly don't regret a thing. I've got some suspension work to do next; coil-overs for sure, sway bars, drop links, and maybe some other stuff to improve the ride and stiffness. probably another 2k coming up for that project. We'll see how it turns out.
New Zealand looks gorgeous mate.
Thanks!
I have my eyes on a 06 WRX hatch here in Australia. The only thing thats stop me from buying it now is that it is modified, it has sti turbo, sti intercooler, psr turbo inlet, Cobb short shifter with bearings done, heavy duty clutch, rcm copper head gaskets, ARP headstuds, water pump, Walbro fuel pump, aem fuel regulator, hks bov, process west y pipe and Cobb tuning intake. Things done 150k and I don't know if I should avoid it. Any ideas mate?
With all that work done to it, it sounds like its been driven hard. In saying that though, I searched for a clean unmodified one with very low kms for a long time. They becoming rare to find!
Sick bro, how deep is the scoop? Could you do a scoop review vid?
Thanks for the comment! Im please you are as interested in the scoop as I am. The scoop is a standard OEM one, sticking out ~ 60 mm/ ~ 2 and a bit inches.
Nice looking wagon! 👍 what mudflaps have you got on it? I’m looking for some like that for mine :D
Cheers Ben. They came on the car. At a guess these are factory. What model and year is your Subaru?
Is that the OEM 'WRX' badge? Looks weird. I have a 2006 WRX Wagon in Melbourne, love it.
No it’s not. I have since taken it off.
Nice ! I wanted the blue but found an immaculate silver 06 instead . What wheels are they ? And your coilovers are they the mca blues ?
Trying to find a nice one is getting harder and harder. I don't know the brand of wheels. MCA suspension red series. 7kg spring on the front, 5kg on the rear.
I’m really undecided if I go coilovers or not , still a daily with picking up kids etc but I didn’t get a wrx for straighline speed haha . I wanted factory sti wheels but as you know there’s a lot you need to do .
My current setup on MCA reds is pretty comfortable for a daily.
Still have it how was reliability? I just placed a bid on one to import from Japan to Canada.
Yip I still have it. Had it for 6 odd years. Never had any major problem. I believe cars are as reliable as you make them. If you start with a good clean platform, then continue to look after it, do regular maintenance, address small issues you should be good.
How is the reliability on these compared to Honda and Toyota ?
Don't known sorry. Never owned any of those. I have never had an issue with my Subaru. Any car which is well maintained, looked after and respected is reliable.
@@OmniGarage Well ok thank you for the answer I just wanted to know that I would be able to make it to work every morning and still have fun with it
Happy car hunting.
What kind of headlights are those? JDM?
Yep they’re the stock JDM lights. Do you have a Hawkeye too?
@@OmniGarage yes! I have a CGM Hawkeye wagon. 😁
Very nice! They’re getting harder to find as each your goes by now, especially clean ones!
My 1st con I don't own one yet
I didn't either. I sat back and waited a long time until a reasonable one came up.
@@OmniGarage that plus the price of a wrx in the uk has shot up and I am not joking
2018 price for a good one 4k plus now 6 to 8 k with low mileage
Hello
This car comes with 4wd
Yes.
hit me up when u wanna sell it please
Are you in New Zealand? These are so rare to find nowadays that it’s unlikely I’ll ever be able to let this one go!
Car lacks lots of power with ac on
Totally. Most cars do have a drop in power when the AC kicks on.
