- I have 'been holding off on making this video on because I wanted to keep it real, raw and tell it how it is. I may offend some who think the STI is perfect and the thing since sliced bread, but if you are the realistic type, you may relate.

The charger had me dead 😂😂
Bro, your editing has come a huge damn way. You need way more subs.
Hasn't the editing always been amazing?
Thanks man. I love doing this kind of stuff. Passion.
@@misztal2112 Yes its always been good. But it's gotten to a different level that's noticeable now.
What editing software are you using if I may ask?
The only objective review I'll stand behind bro especially since you were a previous owner of an FA. Great stuff!
Had the same exact reasons for getting my 2018 STI. For the price, it's hard to find the driving connection in another car. The performance, community, tunable nature and practicality sold me. Great vid as always man! Definitely got a benchmark with your car!
Thanks man! Couldn't agree more!
This review right here is exactly why this is the best channel out there.
The random charger rev and dust was exactly what I needed to see ! 🎉😅
Awesome review, and nice camera work. It's gonna be a bittersweet moment whenever the next gen STi does get here.
I like the VA interiors. They work good enough for me. I have a 16'. I REALLY wish I had the 6 pots. You have the same Cobb AP dash mount that I have. I just need it installed along with a dozen other things. And I just noticed you have Washington plates. Your winters must be rough. Keep the content coming!
Love this man! another great video. So glad someone makes such high quality videos for our platform like this!
I appreciate that!
This video was one of the best👌👍😭😂charger part had me dead, and the ending was great🤭keep it up man
Bro, I literally just got my first manual, ever, 3 days ago. A 2019 wrx sti, and this video really gave me a lot of insight on this car. I can’t wait to watch more. I have A LOTTTT to learn man. I’m loving it so far. Mines was definitely a garage queen 😂 only 20k miles for it being 5 years old
How have you liked it? Looking to get a used 2019 right now.
Beautiful presentation man! Your vids have come a long way! Keep it up man!
awesome video man I'm in my 3 year in my wrx I still love mine even though it not an STI I still have fun in it. keep up the good work mate love from Philadelphia PA
Right on! The WRX is still a great platform. I used to have one and loved it.
Great review informative and entertaining thanks I’m looking to buy one of these and this is best bud I’ve watched yet
Love the videos man! I'm still rocking the WRX and it definitely needs more power...
Great video. I can't wait for an STI. I'm still happy with my WRX base model.
Whole video is so well put together, can not be overlooked, well done Sir !
"... but if you wanna be inconspicuous and fall in line with the 9 to 5 traffic and Starbucks line.. "
Geez that got me cracking hahahaha
I have a 20/20 and I'm putting mileage on it about the same rate you are it's just too fun to leave at home. Everything you said about the driving physicality and so forth it's there just like I real race car not an Xbox game. Thanks for the video
That is a crazy amount of miles on a 2019 STi but at the same time I am happy you have it out a lot more often. My 2019 STi has only 5k miles on it and I bought it last April, but working from home changes the amount I drive it.
Your channel somehow seems to get better and better every video!! GREAT content!
I appreciate it! Thanks man!
😳🤯 patiently waiting for this announcement now
Great vid and agree the sti may not be the fastest but it's the most fun and engaging - keep up the cool work :)
Honest assessment indeed.The VA series WRX and STI are not for everybody and have definite issues. The smiles/mile however are hard to beat especially when you start modifying.
So true. The experience and aftermarket support make it boast to own and mod.
Very well written and produced. Great job man 💪👍
The two main reasons I opted out of the sti were for the outdated high maintenance ej25 and it’s fuel mileage. I had a buddy tell me he’s squeezing 30 mpg on the highway in his wrx and how the fa20’s twin scroll setup having rpm torque I immediately thought. SOLD. Perfect for autox 😂😂
I love knowing how local you are. I rip thru the same roads! Yet have to actually meet you irl at a car meet but I have seen you out on the road.
Can you please make a interior videos like different shift knobs because I’m looking to upgrade from factory and don’t know what I should buy like a heavy one or something similar to the factory one but nicer looking and other things that can make the inside more unique then then standard because I don’t really see anyone doing videos like that and it would be very interesting to see 😊
Such a sick video, can’t wait to take delivery of my 2021 sti 😁
Nice... I got my 2018 sti in May 2018. 2 years now with 15,320 miles.
Your taillights are amazing!Where did you get that?
i got a 2020 sti couple months ago loving every bit of it
Matt C same bro same
dream drivetrain set up for me right now would be FA20, STI trans and diffs, reinforced connecting rods. I love my Stage 2 WRX and I love the FA20DIT but man I wish I had the burliness of an STI drive train.
this!! an STi with an FA20DIT would be my dream setup. having the DCCD would make handling track days like a dream while having pretty good fuel efficiency.
@@Redcadence FA24 incoming!
Had an FA WRX and weighed out the pros and cons between the Sti. Soooo I traded in my stage 2 FA 330whp/350ft lb torque for a 2018 Sti. Made that decision after seeing the new WRX 🤮 I know the sti will be different when released but lipstick on a pig can only do so much. Sooo when my EJ25 blows in my Sti I have the options of swapping in the FA20/24 with the beefy drive train and Brembos. To me that was cheaper an less labor intensive than sti swapping a FA WRX. I'm doing the reverse FA24 swapping the VA chassis Sti 😎🙌🤌
@@surgedtwice yoo is an FA24 a confirmed fit in a VA chassis?? Cuz if it is... SIGN ME UP!!!
@@markayala I know the FA24 will bolt up to the Sti transmission. I'm crossing fingers it'll just be a custom motor mount situation and use a different ECU 🤔 check out Prime Motoring for their Crosstrek FA24 swapped putting down almost 600whp stock block and heads 😳 I think this will be the motor swap of gods once we get some good aftermarket on it 🤞
That mic drop at the end was 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks man!
Good video , love your car! What Nike shoes are those ?
I just traded in my 2019 STi with about 6k miles on it and got basically the original MSRP back out of it. Much happier with my '21 Tacoma. I always wanted an STi but waiting until I was 53 to get one was silly.
Love your vids and build. Simple and clean. I actually traded in my wrx for an sti lol. I must ask why is the sti most hated car on the street. I also get random pickups reving at me. I get Kia and Camry’s right on my ass. It’s on coils and wheels only right now.
Yeah, I get that too. Subaru owners don't have the best reputation to be honest.
Killer content per usual. An insightful take on a unique car.
Just bought my 2019 Sti today hopefully everything goes well 😅
I clicked your link for the accessport vent holder but its just a magnet clip, I think its sitting in a dock of some form? mine didnt come with that atleast. Anyone have more links to get the accessport setup like that
Great review and the your video production quality is outstanding.
Much appreciated!
awesome video! makes me wanna drive my 2017 sti limited and i JUST got home from work lol.
Right on! I just love going for random drives.
Kinda crazy to think that you've already had your sti for a year!
why do these cars break down a lot
@@flaco158 they don’t?
Jake Brand no they do a lot 😂
If my dealership didn't cover my warranty and I kept the car in stock form I would be one rich bastard for suing the hell out of them
Love the videos man! Quick question, where did u get that front license plate bracket ?
Here you go. bit.ly/tiltylicensepkatebracket
Weird question but what lugnuts do you use they look awesome
Does your brake squeeze all the time when its hot?
Hey man great video Your car looks awesome! I didn’t want the WRB till I saw what you did to yours and man it looks sick. Any recommendation for me? I never owned a Subaru and have been looking into the latest model, not sure if I should wait another year or not haha. I kind of wanted to experience the ej before it goes but still not fully sure.
The current STI is one of the last pure sport Japanese cars that have the old school feel. The next gen will probably be faster.
My WRX Channel isn’t faster a good thing? I know nobody can tell how the next gen will be. Stuck between the current sti or the next gen lol
Transitioned from WRX to STi'20 Aside from the outdated EJ257, the steering/transmission/drivetrain/suspension make ALL the difference.
What tail lamps are those
@MyWRXChannel?
Very excellent review and always awesome editing
Thank you so much 👍
Totally agree with your first comment. I personnaly cannot wait for that stock forged internals fa24dit. Very excited to build that.
Great review and awesome video!
wanna trade my sti for a type R so bad, type R is the best looking vehicle around this price range. But after driving with that rumble out from tomei, I changed my mind. Nothing can beat that rumble!!
Hey love the channel bro. I have a 19 sti myself. How did you set individual boost levels to the separate si-drive modes?
You can't, a tuner has to do it for you. From the factory it only controls throttle response
I'm either getting a 2015 Sti or a 2019 sti next week idk yet which ever is still around
Loved this vid, cars looking good 🤘
Just got rid of my 2018 WRX for a 2020 STi a couple weeks ago. I'm all in.
Congrats man! The difference for me was night and day.
@@CarsWithJR Thank you!
Yea, I had always heard the whole mechanical feeling thing before, but can completely relate now after driving it for a bit; honestly felt the difference as soon as I put it in 1st for the first time and started to pull away.
I did drive both before purchasing the WRX, but I was coming from an '07 Civic Si, so everything felt more "solid" and an upgrade from that.
After driving the WRX for two years, I can definitely appreciate the difference now. It truly is a different driving experience. It has character.
I chuckled when you mentioned passing on the "Recaro" seats in your video. Thankfully, I had learned they are not even the full seat, but just the upper, backrest part. Lame.
This time around I specifically asked for a Base STi with the shortshifter and none of the other upsells. In contrast, my WRX was a fully loaded Limited. What I wanted on there already came standard now on the STi (keyless entry/push start, LED/ steering responsive headlights, leather). The only thing I miss is the Harman Kardon stereo system, but w/ Android Auto/ Apple Carplay the upgrade value just isn't there (maybe if the speaker system was packaged separately). I'll be swapping these out for a much better value later. I never used the nav and would just use Waze on phone anyway.
These are just my opinions, of course. The WRX was a TON of fun at the end of the day.
yeah i agree, funny review. It's the raw feeling of driving it. They still have the manual handbrake too. Boxer rumble? shit you dont get in the modern 40k sports cars anymore. Everyone got a damn ipad in their car nowadays. I would still choose the sti over any of their competitors for the driving experience which includes the raw feeling with hydraulic steering, boxer rumble sound, visibility, looks, etc.
Hell yeah! Well said!
Were you implying towards the end that if not tracking, most should get non sti instead?
Love the STi . I love my 2019 STi I have had for a little under a year and have about 46000 miles
Gaaaaaadaaaaam!!!!! 46k in a little over a year wow!!!
Finally! Someone else who knows the recaros are fake! 🙏🏻!!!!!
Who makes your steering wheels?
Damn, it’s already been a year?! I have an ‘18 STI and There’s nothing you said that I don’t agree with. Love from Maui everyone🤙
Subie Nation 👍🏿 am rocking a 2010 Japanese version sti hatch
What song plays at the beginning?
Great video man really enjoyed it
Glad you enjoyed! I appreciate it!
In a couple weeks I'll have owned my 19 WRX for a year and I just passed 6k miles 😅😅, I also really hate the stock speakers/sound system, that's probably one of the first big things I'll change.
Hey man, would you mind if I ask where did you get your front lip? And which one its? I really love the way it looks.
APR Performance.
love the videos!!
19 mpg no matter how u drive it?
What lip is that It looks awesome
I hate to be that person, but does anyone know the name of the song in the start?
always check description (and listen to obvious lyrics): Epidemic Sound - Insane
About your wheel setup: I'm running the same rims on my WRX but with 15mm spacers. I don't understand why mine poke out while you're running 20mm spacers and sitting flush?
I"m using 5mm spacers with these wheels. 20mm for the stock wheels.
I was going to buy one of these but I purchased a 2019 charger scatpack 392 for $35,000
Do you guys get leather seats as an option?
Our premium models in Australia all come with sunroof + leather seats
We do in the "limited" trim.
Whats your wheels setup bro?
PSA: As far as warranties go, shopping around for a good dealership is just as important as shopping for a good price. Some dealers will refuse warranty work even if the car is stock, because they care more about the bottom line than a good relationship. (Remember, warranty work is not free-you may not pay for it, but a dealer will).
When inquiring about a car, ask around at the dealership’s service desk. If any of the service managers have or have had WRX or STI, you’re likely in good hands. They are more likely to be sympathetic when issues arise. Ask around on Facebook or forums to see what service experience is like at a particular dealer, etc.
If looking at a used WRX or STI elsewhere and not a Subaru dealership, make sure you buy an aftermarket warranty not associated with that dealership. (E.g., if you buy your STI from Chevy, don’t buy the warranty they will try to force on you.) There are plenty of other options, like Fidelity or AAA, who default to dealership recommendations on what works needs to be done, and then will then pay for that work. Make sure you establish a service relationship with a Subaru dealer before issues arise.
Hey man . I’m in FL right now . In NFSG but I got an uncle up in WA in my home town Port orchard . He’s about to be an owner of an 8 second civic on E. Question , where do you go to gather your ethanol ? . He is willing to purchase a drum but I told him to hold off on it in case you have better advice . I wrote you through FB also .
I get mine at the JBLM Army base. Plenty of pumps there and the cheapest.
Type R vs sti would be a good vid 👀
Indeed, I'd let Jay review my type R & drive it whenever he wants.
My pops owns a type r and I own the sti so let’s see what happens lol I gotta create a whole new channel for that
man i live there. can i see it in person?
I'm guessing you're going to get the 2021 STI for your announcement
Is that a roof wrap or cf? I'm curious how cf roof installs are done.
Gloss black vinyl
That intro 🔥
what to do so that the engine doesn’t run too hot
Love the video. Song that starts around 1:30?
czcams.com/video/KSXtuKJH_94/video.html
and remember, if you want crazy whp and tq, your going to neeed a built engine, iag possible, closed block forged pistons etc, and lets not forget a good oil pickup so it dont break and mess up your ringland and a oil catch can
Why wouldn’t Suburu fix the cars under warranty???
I think a new engine isn't a bad thing but they will definitely go from hydraulic to electric power steering in the swap which will deaden some of the great raw feel this car has. Cant wait to see what the new sti has in store and more importantly how much more will they now cost. If they pull a last gen wrx where they upped the power and sold it for a but cheaper than last gen then the sti will take the crown in the segment
Well said jay! The old school hydraulic steering is old, but I love the feel.
@@CarsWithJR one more thing the old hydraulic also gives you better feel what really you have under tires in winter icy and snowy conditions. Electric steering is misleading if you not very experienced with winter driving.
Everything else in video you just nail perfectly👍 love and enjoy your straight to the point and no bulshit output man. Keep up good work on them videos. Definitely will look up on your IG man.
Cheers from snowy🇨🇦 Mike
So there’s no telling when the car will blow up?
00:23 that rumble 💘
that was the closest thing to a straight piped civic on a Subaru, the rumble almost doesn't exist on this car and especially absent at 00:23. Sound is personal taste, i hate his exhaust sound, but the rumble is definitely not there
That red Charger lmaooo. I swear Charger owners think they are hot shit next to Mustang owners
😂😂
I'm actually in the market for this car. I'm between a 2020, a Type R, or just waiting for the next-gen STi. I have a few reservations about the reliability of the current gen STi, the Type-R's are marked up so bad right now I'm half tempted to just go and buy an M2 every time I look at them, and the next-gens are probably 2 years out it seems.
I honestly have no clue what to do.
I'm right there with ya man... I'm still on the fence between the STI, focus RS, golf R or waiting for next gen subie. It's such a tough call.
Golf R...if you want an under 5 second car with simple mods.
Hard decision. I love them all, but I honestly think Subaru has something coming for us.
Noti squad
@ My WRX Channel dude now i know i dont put much mileage on my Type RA. i have 15k after 2 years of ownership. Going full OEM+ with it with the JDM STI catalogue. a lot of which is on the S209. Then reliability mods and a more responsive turbo. 300whp is all I want on it.
ItsJustAlex man this is exactly what I was thinking. I have a friend that owns a type are and he is slowly importing all kinds of Japanese parts on his type R which I think is dope af
What window visors do you use?
I got them a while ago from Bason R. I much prefer the OEM ones though.
This video was fire
LOL THAT RED CHARGER THO! interruption ampota! ahahaha
Ece Memorando malakas din charger kaso mahina yung driver, subie man here
Should I wait for the upcoming sti or get the 2020 sti??
Hard decision. Old school mechanical driving feel vs new tech. I would wait for the official announcement before making a decision.
I love my sti but always scared to give it gas cause they run hot and I don't want to blow it up
