I did.

Hello daddy doug
Her: "oh, it's smaller than I expected"
Doug: "sorry, no comfort here, it's a weight savings thing"
Lol
Idk i imagine Doug to rock 12 inches for some reason
@@ObitoUchihaisgay get the fuck outta here you weird fuck
Lmaoo this comment is so underrated
@@KuboTheEditor says the one with a max pfp. Take a joke.
Doug doesn't judge cars by the content of their character, but rather by the size of their infotainment system.
kinda like the size of a woman's tits
Size doesn’t matter 😂😂
Jeff Boski haha sexual jokes
LOL
I only buy cars with infotainment screens 8 inches or bigger.
For an extra $15K, you can make a regular STI a lot faster and better than the Type RA.
And completely void your warranty
@@pbmdh noone buys an sti to keep it stock you puppet.
@@Ieatzboltz Then those people freely void the warranty. That's all I said, dicknose
I mean... keep it stock it you wanna rice it... tune it only.
Yes because warranties last forever...

STI S209: hold my beer
Was searching for this comment :D
S209 wasn't quite out here in the us at the time doug did this video. Now yes the s209 is the most expensive sti now. 65k is a joke.
*laughs in 22b*
@@dabeatboxer83 that's the joke.. by hold my beer it means the s209 "saw this video" and set out to be more expensive. Woosh. And local dealers had them listed at 92k for months near me and finally dropped them to msrp to move them.
@@christiandarosa993 um thanks, I'm ware of that joke with hold my beer..I'm talking the price of these cars being too much.
I had the WRX STi like 8 years ago, and it's my favorite car ever. It was absolutely amazing, and fantastic in the snow with Blizzaks on it with it's AWD. I want one again some day.
Why would you get rid of your favourite car?
@@thedon9670 Lost my job at the time, couldn't afford it anymore. I'll get another one some day.
"Adding nav would add weight. Maybe."
Cmon Doug, nav would OBVIOUSLY add at least 5 lbs. 2 lbs for all the maps of the world and lbs for that little dwarf behind the screen constantly dragging around the map for you
JJ J you deserve a medal sir
That is fucking funny my friend!!!!!!:):)
Sport sharp, like in musical theory like an B# or Cb
Lol
*leprechaun
I think that model is sponsored by EA, and that model is just an overpriced dlc...
i would think twice buying an sti for 37k, which is overpriced IMO, but for 50k, lol
gaming4you if it was sponsored by EA this car would have no content but at least it would be free
CoDGplays lol sure
Paying that much for a 4 cylinder better be a professional rally car
This was done to provide buyers with a sense of pride and accomplishment.
You missed the Sport Sharp# reference. The hashtag is actually a musical sharp symbol.
It's "Cherry Blossom Red" because it's built in Japan.
Right? 😂 so stupid to name it Cherry Blossom Red because that’s not what the STi badging color is named right?.....oh wait?
The "RA' stand for Red Accents
It's actually Cherry Blossom accents.
Glasscock the ra. Also means. Rare accent
Glasscock I didn't expect to see you here lol
TheRealBRUH SMALL INTERNET 😁
😂
Actually the blanket is to sleep in the car after you buy cause you just made a horrible financial mistake.
I've seen some of the older JDM type RA-R's appreciate in value.
Hahaha you deserved more likes, that was hilarious
Not true i bought 3 of these.
@@Jez4prez1 The thing with this one is that this body style is not generally appreciated yet it still uses the old powertrain just like last gen. But we will see.
To cover your face when people see you paid over 25 k for a Subaru!!! 0h you paid over twice that.
You wanna come for a drink baby ... I got an STI btw ?
This comment is too accurate
Ah haaaa
That fact that he didn’t know why Subaru named the red accent cherry blossom hurt me lol
The target audience for an STI can’t afford this car.
Hey! As a part of that target audience you're making your judgmental assumptions about I can tell you, "Yes...Can't afford it."
p.s. I can probably save up... and get that RA wing if someone will abandon it at a dealership.
padistedor who tf would buy a slow ass STI? Would rather buy a 5.0 premium package, Chevy Camaro SS, Dodge Challenger SRT8.... should i keep going?
No, but their trust funds and their rich parents can.
Tyler The Camaro ss is 0-60 in 4.0sec which by no means is slow and is way faster than the sti which is 0-60 in 5.8sec.
Who would buy a camaro, mustang or challenger? I've seen women driving their automatic 5.0s, SS, and R/Ts. What do they have in common between them and the men who have them? Their autos, they can't handle them and can barely afford them. Us subie owners can afford the car, only manuals, know how to handle them, can afford not only the gas but the mods. Quoting 0-60? You aren't a car guy at all. Get a tesla. P.S. Automatics only
Spoiler alrt: it's $50k because it comes with a $13,000 vape and a job in web development
LMAO so damn true
Mittencamper 😃😃 I concur

The best videos show Doug lighting up like a little kid when he accelerates/pushes the handling and it responds
It's exactly the reason I watch
$50,000 for a new Subaru? Better price than what some people insist their used WRX Sti's are worth.
12gaugebleachdrinker hilarious.... And true. 35k miles, 4 years old and you want 34k for it? No deal.
Ya 05 stis still go for like 25 lol
This didn’t age well 😂
@@jimsmith8797 yeah ever since subaru announced they wont make another STI for at least a couple years and when they do it will be at least part electric ive certainly considered selling my super low mileage 2016 STI Limited. Never ever did i think i would say that. I even cancelled my service appointment at my local speed shop for a stage 3 package to be installed because i know a buyer will want it as close to stock and unmolested as possible
@@SubaruWRXspdManual funny because with Covid prices now that would be a STEAL. Currently they are going for 40-43k for a used sti with 60k miles 🤡
If I bought this. I couldn't drive it without thinking about the insane mods I could have done for $15k.
and still slower than an evo
Evos are discontinued, so there is no competition.
Yea no competiton for the Evo since subaru still cant build an engine that can compare to the 4G63/4B11.
The mods will only devalue the car even more, nothing attractive about mods.
I know right. For 15k you can take a regular STI and build it to 500+ HP.
I own #171 of 500 and couldn’t be happier!
Lol idiot

You bought a $50k Corolla with a hoodscoop.

"Navigation will add unnecessary weight"
Adds stock information and birthday notifications.
Mr.Mister that doesn't add weight though lol the computer is already there
yes navigation will add 20 more grams, bs excuse
Nahhh all you have to do is install maps into apps on the info sys
It's real. After I delete Google Maps, my phone is 50% lighter. #NavisHeavy
@@HuxleyTheProf well technically when you download something, it does add weight through electricity.
“Sport #” is the same symbol used in sheet music to indicate “sharp” notes. But yeah, hashtag/pound sign too.
It’s been established that he isn’t the most musically inclined. In another video - Mitsubishi Eclipse, I think? - he had no idea what an equalizer was.
Ironic considering he knows how to play the piano
no need to be a musician, most computer people would probably get it too.
Sharp note is different than a hash/pound. On a sharp note sign the vertical lines are straight and the horizontal are diagonal (opposite of the hashtag), so Subaru messed that one up.
Just like C# - "C sharp"
Cherry Blossom Red is the color name used since the STIs (Subaru Tecnica International) inception in April of 1988.
The person whos got the 420/500 typeRA better be a vaper

-"give it a Doug score"

Why? What's raw horsepower gonna get you?
Soviyeet Boi idk but a better engine with tuning capacity greater than 400HP would be great. Edit: better stock engine
@@ZeRuskee and you’ll spin the wheels all day long, tell me how that increased HP is dealt with in an AWD set up.

Did they stop making evos
Thank you Doug for always being here for our “infotainment”
Doug, the type of guy when you introduce your girl he'll give her a Doug score
LMAO!!! That just made me spit out my cereal.. Thanks for the laugh.
Her: Did you notice that I lost some weight?
Doug: They've removed the spare tire...
Doug that # sign for Sharp# literally stands for ‘sharp’. If you’re reading music and there’s a # next to a note, that indicates the note needs to be played sharp.
Stephen Bowzer yes! I was waiting for the SharpSharp comment bahahaha
Thank goodness for comments section, i was losing hope in the world for a second.
Wooo. Sorry Doug, I love you and all your content. This was fun to laugh at you a bit. Keep up the awesome work.
What's weird is that Subaru did literally use the pound sign, #, when they wanted the sharp sign, ♯. I guess their graphic designer didn't know the Unicode entity number for it.
Stephen Bowzer * the only thing I thought of when I saw doug do that is that doug def doesn't play music!!!
It's quite imprezive
No, it's not. Nice try, though!
Adriel Z bc that's a worn down joke
Also because it is not an Impreza anymore.
My neighbor's 42 years old and owns a WRX, but he sometimes calls it an Impreza, because he's owned 3 different generations of the car, not including his current one.
I su what you did there 😋🤣
The pound sign means sharp in sheet music .great video as always !
Pound sign? This is a pound sign £, What you are referring to is a hashtag or in music a sharp sign hence why it's used for sport "sharp"
@@jaf01uk you are right, but also wrong.
Doug: "Most expensive subaru ever..
"
s209: "Hold my drink."
I'm sure he means most expensive new. 22b's were around 40-45k I believe. And yes, I'd rather have a 22b.
“Hold my intake.”
Doug the type of guy to not understand why there's a pound sign for "sharp"
It's a musical term doug.
Not exactly sure what you're trying to say about "C#". But yes, pound (#) and sharp (♯) are different-tilted vertical lines vs. tilted horizontal lines. The sharp symbol does still exist, as you can see. The "S#" used for "Sport Sharp" on the dial is actually a pound sign, but pretty much everyone uses the pound sign instead of the real sharp symbol. Only time you're guaranteed to see ♯ is on sheet music.
You think you're ♯
...but your argument falls ♭. **rimshot**
Blue and gold never gets old
Fly365 so true. Love the blob eye and the hawk eye models
Jeff Bruh maybe red calipers would go very well with the red lines
Fly365 i agree
Doug: Today we are looking at the Subaru WRX
Takumi Fujiwara: *BREATHES HEAVILY*
That was actually really critical
*THE birthday thing* is probably the cutest thing I have ever seen from any infotainment system ever.
Cherry blossom represents new beginning's that's why the STI badges are pink! Fact
You would know that, billy “twinkle”.
@Oceanic Dangernoodle dddaaaaaaaaaammmnn who hurt you
@@lucho7561 apparently at some point an STI butt hurt him.
Oceanic Dangernoodle thats why you get a WRX with the FA20
@@-Sirens- they've been known to have great reliability since they were sold in the US. As long as you maintenance them properly. Both WRX and STI. The reason some of them might crap out is because of 20 something's revving them to redline all the time and hitting the rev limiter because "it's cool."
Doug the type of guy to fondle the handbrake while discussing quicks of the interior.
Doug is the type of dude to take a nap in the back seat while his buddy is carving canyons in his STI Type RA...
The Sport Sharp sign isn't a hashtag, it's a musical sign that designates a note is to be played 'sharp'.
When Doug DeMuro's notification came in I have to stop whatever I'm doing . That is how important Doug's videos to me.
Doug is love Doug is life
FRANTIC ™ lol same here and I'm watching this at work too

Those equations come in handy when I hit the track with my family and groceries.
The # refers to the musical notation for sharp... not the pound sign 😂
Came for this comment.
Came here for this.
Doug is ignorant of a lot of basic things in life.
Also, C# in programming is also called “C Sharp” as that’s what the symbol means
I came here to almost say this..
A # and a♯are actually different symbols.
The C sharp programming language technically should be written C♯, but as you can't easily type in, general use has made people associate hash with it instead. The automaker really should have used the correct symbol haha, so doug is actually correct in how he said it 😂😂
Doug the type of person to read a car manual for a college book report
What are you doing here? Go back and make memes
Cherry blossom color is very significant to Subaru because that was the original color used for STI badging years back. Cherry blossom is very famous in Japan. It is a very Japanese and Subaru thing. Subaru is again starting to use cherry blossom colour now. Inbetween they used more reddish accents and decals.
I know I’m a bit late but the hashtag is a sharp sign in music.
Doug the type of guy to have the best job in the world
weetikissa it’s not easy to do this job man :/ not many ppl can be as comfortable in front of a camera as he is. not everyone can attract the viewers attention like he does as well, he has the talent of speech that attract my attention but not be too annoying as well
He does have a cool job.
Fun fact to those who don't know: The Sport Sharp logo actually has a # sign because in music when a note has the # symbol next to it, it's considered a sharp note.
Pixel
It’s stupid
Sharp note is different than a hash/pound. On a sharp note sign the vertical lines are straight and the horizontal are diagonal (opposite of the hashtag), so Subaru messed that one up.
never actually noticed that the signs are that different.
i've been playing piano for 3 years how have I not noticed this
i nobody would notice that difference. I didn't even and I've been playing music for maybe 8 years now
Pixel, yeah. I was curious a few years back why it was called sharp or hash and looked it up. The thing with the sharp sign is that it's difficult to be able to type it out (browser, text, etc.), so commonly the hash is substituted. But in this case (I think), Subaru should have used the sharp symbol.
The best STI
Take a shot every time Doug says STI
50k Impossibru!
50k lol, u can get a 2-3 year old m3/m4 for 50k... no thanks subaru, for 50k, it should of had atleast 360hp
Impossisubaru?
Empire Lifts Back Right...And I'm sure you can get an older STI for over 10k less than that.
Shit looks hideous for 50k. smh. I wish they still made the evos.
deziking I ain't gonna lie, I'm not all that big of a fan of the WRX's look, but it's (supposedly) a rally car, they aren't exactly supposed to be flashy.
You should add safety as a daily category.
The reason the Sport Sharp uses the # is because that is the symbol for a sharp note in music notation
in the mid 90's an SVX would retail for $35,000. After inflation I suspect that is still the most expensive Subaru ever.
Doug that type of guy who looks at pink colour and just calls it red.
boxz1984 no thats salomondrin 😉
willie Jackson i dont believe you :D i had a type Ra sti. It was pink
Honestly, I prefer the stock spoiler to the Type RA one. The Type RA spoiler looks out of place for some reason to me
Zack agreed. And why not get the regular sti, enjoy the sunroof, the backseat armrest and do the weight reduction and the small mods by urself with those extra money? This car is a fail experiment for me I suppose.
fj717 it's about the exclusivity. So in 10 year you can sell for 150k
Subaru Tecnica international haha!
Zack Yeah, it looks out of place because most of the STIs had the "stock" spoiler. That one looks like aftermarket
fj717 the forged connecting rods are the only thing that even makes it even remotely worth it. But even so 2019 sti’s here in North America will now have factory forged con rods
Type RA: I'm the most expensive Subaru ever
s209: I'm about to end this mans career
cringe. Pure cringe
@@nikchris69?
Also, because SUBARU, this has to be the douchiest comment thread of Doug’s entire library, Kudos!!!
The way Doug touched that suede steering wheel concerns me....
Finally I found this comment. I noticed that also and knew someone else would.
12:45 In music, that logo is a sharp symbol.
Doug's the type of guy who never learned how to read music:-)
I bet there's someone at Subaru who wanted to call the basic sport mode "Sport b" mode but it got nixed because the word flat has negative connotations in the automotive world.
I also said that!
....Which upscales the note by 1/2 it’s normal value. Which leads me to conclude that the “sport sharp” button increases it by a negligible percentage.
And in reality it's called an octothorpe.
BisdakYoda Chewy but you can hear the difference! Hahah
The standard STI has the birthday reminder on the display as well. I was in Japan on my birthday last year which was my first birthday after buying the car, but my dad made sure to start it up and send me a picture.
12:46
The "pound" sign in Sport Sharp in this context is a sharp sign in music note reading, not a pound or hashtag symbol.

The s# is a musical reference. # means sharp in musical key signatures. Good job subaru. You almost sold me this vehicle on that alone
Interessting thing that in the U.S. the Spec C Type RA just is a regular WRX STi with added Parts, in Japan the Spec C Type RA is way more different to the Regular STi. It has reinforced domes, not only Carbon Fiber roof it also has Carbon Fiber Trunk Hood, thinner glass, a rear cross bar, shorter transmission, high precise ball bearings in the turbos for faster spooling, a larger water Reservoir for the intercooler spray and an air-oil cooler.
How much does a spec c cost brand new ??
@@xXBrokenSilence616Xx in japan they have government mandated speed limiters. They probably just set a target of 50k and there is less in us because of import fees

Is this Subaru too fast and maybe too furious?
I think- Too Cost Not Furious enough
Twenty 20 It performs really well. Just in applications like rally racing and whatnot. The AWD thing does little outside of coming off the line or non-dry pavement handling.
twenty 20 missed the joke
This car only has 6 gears. Any fast and furious car needs at least 10.
