If u get annoyed by the exhaust sound , don't by a performance car
That is a very good point Kevin!
No joke... People like that should go buy a Prius and avoid loud farts.
even better just walk
Great choice of car homie. We got a 2019 WRX STI Crashed rebuild going on right now. Hope you enjoy watching it!!
or get a silent exhaust?
One thing to remember. If your tire/wheel is damaged by a pothole, the city/township is responsible and will pay for repairs. Just write down where the hole was.
That is a good point but doesn't always have an easy result!
LoL! Don't ever move to New Orleans
Hahahaha yeah good luck with that!
This is not true. Each state has different laws. Some do not hold state/county/city at fault, some do. The ones that do, usually require the the state/county/city was aware of the pothole in advance to your accident... and still they are usually given a fair amount of time to fix it (i.e. 7 days) before you can hold them liable. You will also need to photograph the pothole to prove there was one and take pictures with landmarks/signs in the background to show location; also take a picture of the damage to your car. Bottomline, know your local laws - it will help you save money and time.
Idk where you live but in canada this does not apply
As a proud owner of a 2019 WRX STi Limited, I can tell you that the STi is a great daily driver for those who love to drive. I drive about 60-70 miles round trip to work every day and have no issue whatsoever. I love cars with stiff suspension because I want precision and predictability. As of rush hour traffic, I got stuck in bumper to bumper traffic a few times but it did not bother me at all. A few weeks ago when we had pouring rain, the STi handled the road like a dream.
BTW, nobody will be wearing high heels to drive an STi. ;)
I totally agree with what you said! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment! You brought up some great points!
@@RaitisRides Forgot to mention, the stock exhaust is too tame in my humble opinion. I can see why so many STi owners have switched to after market exhaust for better rumbling sound.
I totally agree with the! With the right exhaust these sound amazing!
hell yeah. The reason so many people would not like this for a daily driver is the EXACT reason we would love it for a daily driver. Funny how that is.

...another thorough review...you truly leave no stone unturned! I myself daily drive a 2018 VW GTI looking to move up to a Golf R in the not to distant future, but after seeing your review of this STI. I will happily give this ride a serious look. Thanks again for your hard work! Great channel!
That is really awesome of you to say! They are both great cars that is for sure!
Great review Joe. Your passion for the STI and experience enhance the talking points. I daily my ‘18 STI. When I was considering trading up from my ‘16 WRX I was warned the STI is too stiff. When I took my first drive I was happy to find for me the ride felt even better. I feel that the ride of the STI makes you feel connected. And yes the wheels look great but they’re a bear to clean.... I laughed when you mentioned it. Only thing worse is what you go thru to clean the calipers. In the end all worth it. I’m 6 mos and 8,000 miles in and still look forward to driving every day I jump back in. Merry Christmas bro
I am so glad tat you enjoyed this one! I really love the Subaru STI, and I am very tempted to get another one. Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I am so glad that you are enjoying yours. I hope you have a Merry Christmas as well! 2019 is going to be HUGE! I am so glad you are on this ride with me!
I love how this guy give very detail how to live with this car. You can say all you want but this guys say the reality about daily life with this beauty.
Thank you sir for saying that! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch!
I love this video and keep coming back to it.I bought a new base STI in November 2018 and have not had much of a chance to drive the car.I live in Massachusetts and there is too much salt on the road in the wintertime.Every time I watch this I learn something new about my STI.Spring is right around the corner.
Thanks Daniel! Congrats on your STi! It is an amazing car! What color did you get? That is terrible that you can't drive it!
Great input Joe, I've had MBZ and Beemers but the STI gave me the exhilaration all the time. Your videos seal the deal for me to get my current car. Thanks and Happy Holidays !
That is really awesome of you to say! I appreciate you sharing that with me! Happy Holidays to you as well! Keep me in the loop!
Hey Raiti thank you so much for doing this video. Family has gotten bigger and need an upgrade from my 2015 Civic si coupe just needing to figure some stuff out but I’ve been wanting an STI for year!! This put more insight into why I was wanting one so badly and needing one now! Again THANK YOU!!
Congrats on your growing family! I really appreciate you taking the the time to say such wonderful things! Your support means so very much!
The STI will destroy a Starbucks drinking, skinny jean wearing soy boy as a daily driver but will be totally at home for someone who manspreads, has calloused hands, and been dropped several times on the floor as a kid.
On the floor of a cave! Grrrrr! ;-)
Lol!
That is one of the most interesting analogies ever!
@@kingbrutusxxvi Perfect! lol
@@bryanpanamera I love the Raiti's Rides family!

love it ! Great video
Thanks for letting me share this great car with you!
On my third Subie, a 2019 STI Limited in Ice Metallic Silver with the lip spoiler. Loving this car, makes even the most mundane trip more fun. It shines in the curves, especially when the pavement ends. Of course it needs more power, but even 310hp can get you into trouble if you're not paying attention! Excellent review - if you bought this car to drive it, it will be an enjoyable daily driver.
Mike Campbell thank you for sharing your excellent info!
Awesome car. Im an Enthusiast it sounds crazy but I have no problem daily driving this , a gt500 and even a viper. Rip Focus rs, Cts-V wagon and Mitsubishi Evo, such a great rally car. Love Subaru!!!
ace 1 I totally agree with you! Thanks for watching!
Just wanted to come back and give you props, i watched all of your 2019 sti videos and got a red 2019 sti with red seat belts in November, thanks for the amazing videos and attention to detail you put in, i don't remember which one you did talking about the red seat belts but that one or similar ones really made me want it that more more.
Love your subi vids. I've owned 4 WRX's and now a proud owner of a 2019 STi. These are great cars for the money and the resale on these cars are unbelievable! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much Ryan for saying that! You are so very right about Subarus! What color is your STI?
@@RaitisRides It's Crystal White Pearl! I kind of miss Satin White Pearl but this looks great in the sunlight.
Tat color really pops!
Damn, this dude has a lot of STIs.
LOL

I love this car! It was so much fun to test drive! It put a huge smile on my face. It just wanted to go! It was the price tag that did us in.
They are really are great cars! I can totally understand where you are coming from!
Its actually a great value for what it is. I have a 2019 STi base and for 34k i think its a hell of a deal!
Thank you so much for doing this very in depth review on this colour especially since this is the exact colour I am looking to get!!!! Best STI review so far!!!
ALSO PLEASE DO SOME DAILY DRIVE VIDEOS WITH THE 2018-19 STI!!!!!
You are so very welcome and I appreciate the support! I will be putting those drives together soon!
GREAT VIDEO MAN. I LIKE YOUR STYLE AND HUMBLENESS. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
That really means so much to me! Thank you so much for your motivating words and support!
I custom ordered my 2018 WRX STI in August of 2017. I added Recaro racing seats, short shifter and upgraded exhaust. This car has been my daily since I took delivery in Nov 2017, I have put almost 10K so far and I love it just as much as I did the day I took delivery. Great review!
Congrats on your STI! You ordered it exactly how I would of! What color did you get??
Raiti's Rides I went with Crystal White Pearl
Well done! It's a great color!
A few months ago my wife wanted to test drive a BRZ. We went to a dealer and the first thing we saw as we drove into the lot was this same 2019 STi but it was a limited with a low lip spoiler. We didn't even bother with the BRZ and test drove this STi instead. We didn't know at the time that we were in the ONLY 2019 Silver STi with a low lip spoiler not just in Florida but in the entire south east. Even today there is only ONE in Silver with a low lip spoiler in all of Florida. If you go on CarGurus, there are under 20 in the entire United States! We loved the car, it's like no other sedan you have ever been in, you have to drive one to understand. I wish they weren't 43K because even though I don't need one, I'd love to buy it anyway.
A Mustang Owner that is so awesome! It is a great car!
Your wife must be hardcore if she can and likes to drive the STI. I hope I meet a girl like that.
Liked the “daily drivability” aspect of the video! Thanks for the extra intel. I’m working on selling my 07 3 series hardtop and gonna use the cash for a down payment towards a 2019 sti. A Subaru is my absolute dream car. I cannot wait to get my subi!
man evertying you put out is so great, so informative. Love it all.
Thank you sir for saying that! It really means a lot!
Was thinking of leasing one. Thanks for the great video!
You are so very welcome!
That ice silver metallic is so nice, kinda tired of the WR blue. The silver really makes the lines of the car pop and especially the brembos.
You are so right about the silver making the lines really show!
I wanted the ice silver but I found a killer deal on a 2018 WRB STI... Push button start etc. I couldn't pass it on.
Congrats! WRB is the classic Subaru color!
@@rsxking2004 My first STI was WRB, its looks so nice during overcast weather, and when the sun starts to go down! Congrats
Agree, the silver is the best color!
Good video again. This will help me decide to get the STI in about 4yrs. I have the WRX 2017 Base right now. AKA ocean blue.
Great review. Nice perspectives from both an enthusiast and someone looking for a daily ride that may not be ready for what makes this car so sexy. Very informative on this and all your other reviews. Thanks
Love this car Joe, always have........those Brembos look awesome. Love the move to 19 inch wheels. The interior is real quality.......nice materials and finishes. That wing is delicious!!
Nice vid again Joe......big up to Thom.....👊
Thanks Gary for your wonderful words and always watching! I can talk about STis all the time!
I love the STI. It’s a beautiful car that is great for every day driving and it has the sporty aspects. I prefer the key but it’s still awesome.
I am so glad that you like this one!
Even though this is a video about the 19s, I love my 18. I always love watching your videos man
Thank you for your awesome support! The 19-19 STi is a great car!
You clearly love STIs, but still make a balanced review. Nice job! I have a 2018 STI and use it as a daily, your assessment is spot on! I live in WI and due to the snow, I am in the habit of kicking my feet against the side before getting in. I am getting the ground effects retouched next week. 615 spot on!
Edit: The car is awesome and brings you the feeling of what a car should be! I also have my 8yo in the back super safe. Any purist should buy this car. I had to pick between a BMW 5 series and an STi. Two track days at Milwaukee Mile and several thousand miles later, I made the right decision.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Love this car. Going to test drive and possibly purchase a ‘19 WRX STI with less than 5k miles. Blacked out all around. My only gripe as of now is Subaru changed to equal length headers. Loved that rumble of the unequal length headers. Wonder if that’s an aftermarket thing now. Had a white 05 WRX wagon back in the day. It plowed through 3’ of snow without a hitch. Ah the memories lol.
i got 2016 sti limited top notch, stage 2, full turbo back exhaust, intake, cobb v3, 4"inch 1 tips double staggered wall deleted mufflers... 347hp! beast as a daily driver.
Now that sounds like one heck of a setup!
I hope you're in cali so I can go to you to mess with my subbie sir!
I have to say also, as happy as I am owning a 2019 Subaru WRX STI Limited, it's all worth the buy with it's new features. Front and rear Camera, blind spot detection, Harmon Kardon sound system, and a moon roof. The STI has been always my dream car and I've achieved my dream and hard work in getting the STI Limited. The best part is I live in the the Philippines and bought it here. It's so much fun driving it here. 😊😁
Congrats on your STI! I really appreciate you sharing your input and perspective!
I think it’s time for Subaru to redesign the WRX. The current design has aged well, but it’s time for changes. They need to introduce a new engine for the STi.
It should be coming soon!
Yeah honestly hope it comes soon
They wont make any more wrx. Or so I heard?
If it's not broke dont fix it
you called it.
It's a great daily. I smile every day while driving. Great review. Love it.
Thank you for the compliment and I could not agree with you more!
I've put 50k on my 16 and love every drive!
Thank you so much for sharing that great success story!
I just bought a 2019 base STI two months ago.It is a great car.I purposely did not get recaro seat,push button start because it added 2500.00 to the cost. I wanted performance options like the short throw shifter.i do not daily drive this car,it is a weekend warrior,therefore gas mileage is not an issue.I love the EJ motor,and while It may be outdated,it is dependable and a classic.Who know's what the future will bring for the 2020.
Congrats on your STi! I am so glad tat you get to enjoy her just the way you want! Thank you for sharing your input!
I was searching for a standard model and it would up I got Recaros on mine because I got very favorable pricing on that particular car...and, honestly, I personally like the standard seatbacks more. The side bolsters of the Recaros definitely wear a bit faster than the standard seatback.
Thanks for sharing your input on the seats!
Me too. I bought the same car.
Just curious how much did you guys pay for the base car before taxes? I dont think the limited is worth it tbh
Stock exhaust system is sooooo quiet. Crazy that just by throwing on a catback, it unleashes the holy grail rumble sound.
Yooo that walk up shot at 11:11 was dope good job cameraman lol
Hey Joe, love the review... here in Australia the STI gets the keyless entry across the range, also gets sat nav as standard, not sure why the US spec is a bit stripped down.... maybe because we drive on the left like in Japan and we get some extra goodies?? Who knows, anyway I'm loving my MY18 WRX premium as my daily driver, all the best for the channel, long time subscriber since 5,000 subs, keep up the good work, this time next year you will have 100K+ subs, all the best Chris in Sydney Australia
Hey Chris! Thank you so much for sharing that input from Australia! Thank you for the well wishes, and for believing in me! I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!
My 19 STI is a daily driver and it suits me just fine. The clutch is light enough to not bother me in traffic. Average about 17-18 mpg for city driving and about 22-23 on the highway. I also tightened it up with an upgraded pitch mount brace, tranny mount and rear diff inserts. Love the ride and the way it feels.
Thank you Sean for sharing your input about this car!
How come you got 17-18 mpg? How fast you drive?
Great video brother 👍🏻👍🏻love the STI !!2006 Has always been my favorite of the bunch,but 15 ,and newer has really grown on me starting to fall in love with them as well fantastic car fantastic review!! I hear the 2020 has really jumped up in H.P.

Looking for a daily. I have a 2018 86 and I love it! I’m thinking an sti or Lexus Rc f. So many options out there!! Great video joe :)
Thank you so much for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate the compliment! It is very nice to have options!
Joe, I am a believer in the Subaru now. Big Guns Tom Camerawork is spot on. Merry Christmas and a Awesome Happy New year you guys and your families. Thanks Joe. Godspeed
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year David! I’m so grateful for your support and always leaving such nice comments! I’m glad you are part of the Raiti’s Rides family!
The STI is my favorite daily. The brakes are good, but not harsh. Handling is sporty, but not harsh. Road and highway noise is actually good. The engine is responsive. The clutch is easy to shift smooth. The oem short shifter and quick ratio steering rack are two of my favorite features. But number one has to be the close ratio transmission. There's a good gear for any speed. It doesnt die in 4th like some cars. Everything put together makes me feel like I'm supposed to enjoy every drive. Plus i can fit camping gear in the trunk, or seat adults comfortably. That makes it a perfect daily for me. And as a bonus, this moonroof doesnt bother your ears at highway speeds.
Thanks for taking the time to share your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Id love to have that car :(
You can do it Don! Come up with a plan and execute it!

You know what I like about this guy. Hes so fancy with his hands the way he points so detailed lol
Thanks for watching!
I was going to buy one of these, 2018. The salesman had it parked in the sold spot. I made a promise to myself I would test drive 2 other vehicles. I test drove a jeep, and a golf gti. The wrx seemed like a lot of fun, but the gti was just so much better and cheaper. Yeah I suffer the few times it snows, but I could just see myself living with the gti everyday. Plus, the 75k transferrable warranty was just awesome.
Thank you for sharing your experience and input! I really appreciate you watching!
solen 1 what does the 75k transferable warranty mean?
Great video as always joe! I own a 17 sti and you were on point. I would have to disagree with you about the traffic part though I’m hating life during stop and go traffic haha. But if you’re an enthusiast like me or you it’s not really a big deal. Overall though I love my sti and I want to keep it forever. I’m just running a stage 2 Cobb tune for the engine right now and later down the road I’ll build the engine. Nice job joe keep it up I love you’re channel 👍🏼
Thank you Michael for your kind words! I really appreciate your support! I’m glad you shared your input!😊👍🏻

Many thanks for the great review.... definitely considering one !
You are so very welcome David!
Number one question to ask about a used STi, “Has it been vaped in?”
Most likely
Marietta Gator lmao I’ve been vaping weed and concentrates and I’ve naturally fallen in love with dis car
😂😂😂
czcams.com/video/9Ve3MU_q69U/video.html
I don’t vape so mine (when I get one) will be vape free! Lol
The “stripper” STI is a GREAT bang for buck and driver focused car! There is little to no point in owning one and keeping it as a weekend car. Made a perfect addition to my 1LE and truck
That wounds like a great garage setup!
Man, Im over here listening to you nit pick all these nice creature comforts while I'm dailying my 2007 STI on raceland coil overs haha. Talk about a rough, yet still enjoyable ride.
I totally agree with you! If you are enthusiast like you and I then you will still have a blast driving it!
MY18 STI owner and proud of it! They're good fun.
I am so glad that you are still enjoying yours! Thank you for watching!
I gotta say I've got myself lined up for a 2019 Subaru wrx sti limited and full loaded. And your videos have helped me out in making the final decision and push to get my dream! These videos are great! Thank you so much!!
That is so awesome Cole! Thank you so much for saying that! I really appreciate your support! Let me know how it goes! What color are you looking at?
@@RaitisRides I've always been a fan of the pearl white! But that silver does look way good
You really can go wrong either way!
I daily my STI. No complaints! You can easily forgive the 'stiff' ride if you consider the many pros of the car. HUGE trunk and cabin space that can fit half your household and groceries. Safety features are commendable. Ground clearance is excellent, but scraping the front plastic panel would be a headache to fix.
Thanks for sharing your input based off of your experience!
Great review Joe. Also what’s makes it a great daily is a top safety pick and great visibility. Cheers man.
Thank you sir for saying that! I appreciate you taking the time to add your input and watch!
I've been driving my 2019 STI for a year and a month and love it
How the maintenance? Price
Do you still own it?
STI: the baby-friendly sedan! Agreed, that the gauge cluster's usability / ergonomics is seriously good. The font and layout, for my eyes, is perfect (took one for a quick test spin at night). It is nice to have the apple carplay and android auto in the head unit from the perspective of a daily driver.
YasumotoUS thank you for the great feedback!
Honestly if i didn't work so close to home, I'd have gotten the STI.
Still love my WRX though. Great bottom end for city driving 🙂👍
You are so very right!
Thorough as always. Terrific video
Thank you for your kind words and support!
Yet again, another great video Joe!
Thank you so much Nick for taking the time to say that!
The calipers aren't as hard to keep clean as you'd think. I actually applied some ceramic coat to them and switched to ceramic pads and there's virtually no dust. What little there is comes off easy with some wheel cleaner and a power washer.
Wow the last time i remember you had 14k subscribers!!! I wish you would have driven it.
Thanks for being part of this journey with me! I will be driving some shortly so stay tuned!
Many thanks for fir your review. This is one of the best review well done
Love the WRX Sti reviews!! Could you please do a subtle solution lifted Subaru xtrek 2018 off road review as there is huge community loving those type of Subarus...
I will track one of those down for you! Thank you for your awesome support!
I daily my STI no issues. Granted it seems SOFLO has great smoothie roads compared to else where. I can 100% agree on the back seat I have 2 car seats and I get in and out with ease. Love my STI (2016 past and 2019 current)

Where you at in SoFlo? I'm Miami lakes area. You go to any meets?
faekz I live in the South Broward area. When I have free time I go to the meetups at Flamingo and Sheridan aside from that I go to random events when I can find time.
Great channel and review. I dig my 16 Sti as daily, definitely a firm ride but it's a sports sedan, not a Lexus, so I think it's totally acceptable. Nice subtle rumble, it's got an old school feel, great steering feel and I think the EJ,s turbo lag adds some character, sure it's not the fastest but it has plenty character that a lot of new school cars lack. Wish they kept the gauge cluster red like the earlier models but wish mine had the Apple car play. It's going to be interesting to see what the 2020 model brings to the table.
Thank you so much for the compliment and your support! I really appreciate you sharing your great input. The 2020 model is going to be interesting!
My pleasure, enjoy your content. Your channel is wide reaching, as I'm also down in Australia. Interestingly my 2016 Sti is a base model and came with Keyless Entry.
That really means a lot to me! I guess from what I have learned from my other Australian friends is that you guys get keyless entry across the board!
Great review and this is my favorite color. Had a 2018 STI same exact spec and color. Can’t wait to see what engine the 2019 s209 comes with and what subaru will bring to the table in 2020. Thanks for the great content!
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment! I really appreciate your support! It is going to be exciting!
Great color combo, I think it is IMO, one of the reasons this is one of the best sports 4door ever. I know the spoiler has always been like that, but I'll prefer some lower, maybe time to redesign that. Great video Joe 👍👌
You can get it with the trunk lid kick up spoiler. Cleans everything right up.
My dream car 😍😍😍
You can make it happen! I believe in you!
@@RaitisRides Thank you!
@@fahadaljuhani798 You are so very welcome!
I own one.
Same!
Just bought the STI Limited, first big purchase I have made (I’m only 19) and gotta say I love these cars. I grew up in a mechanics shop and gotta say I’m highly impressed by this car. The drive is always smooth, and incredibly comfortable. Acceleration is nice and smooth. I can say this car really catches people’s attention, especially more so when they see a girl come out of it. Love it so much!
Congrats on your new STi! I am so glad that you are enjoying her! What color did you get?
Raiti's Rides thanks! I got the Ice Silver Metallic, I love the color contrast with the blacked out wheels
You are so very welcome! That is the perfect color combination!
You have better money saving skills than I did at that age. I couldn't afford one of these at 19 if my life depended on it, and this was largely because I blew all my money chasing girls...unsuccessfully. I did have a PT Cruiser with inflatable duck hunting decoys super glued to the roof, which might also explain the 'unsuccessful' component. Congrats on the purchase!
Zac Paul wow! Haha what a ride! I am a full time college student but I commute so I’m able to hold down a pretty good part time job, as for the chasing girls.. my boyfriend is breathing proof that chivalry still exists, he never lets me pay! Helps save a coin, it’s a wonderful car I’m really proud of myself, it’s a constant reminder of how my hard work is paying off
Its a real man's car for sure. I like the AWD setup vs the Haldex of VW/Audi. I am strongly considering one and thanks for the insight of this review.
How did I miss this review? I watch 'em whenever a new one pops up! Anyway, I drive a 19 STI. Purchased new. Daily driver and definitely a fun drive. And the clutch is among the best if not the best I've ever driven (and I'm a bit of an old fart). You described it perfectly. I've also taken it on a couple of road trips. I was afraid that suspension was going to beat me up on some of the longer drives but you know what? It was actually very comfortable. Suspension is stiff but I'm good with that. I think it's the seats that really make that work. Anyway, 4 years after the post and I'm finally watching your review on my car (except mine is the gun metal gray). Excellent review. Now I have to back and look...what other vids did I miss! ha
Switch to Ceramic or Carbon Fiber brake pads. Metallic pads shed a ton of dust. Metallic pads also are significantly less in price, ideal for mass production and very common.
Thank you so much for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
As an owner of a 2016 wrx sti stage 2, daily driven the car is so much fun. Hearing the roar of the engine and feeling the pull of the car whenever you hit the gas always gave me an adrenaline rush. Only con about the car however is the gas. I find myself filling every 3 days. I wont complain tho, i got what i paid for. Whats fun without a little sacrifice ;)
Thanks for taking the time to share your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Thank u for the Amazing review👊
You are so very very welcome!
Amazing review amazing reviewer! Very informative and interesting thank you!
I really appreciate you saying that!
Once you own a Subaru, there is no way for most of us to own or like any other brand. Made in Japan baby! 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
It really is a great car!
You can probably sneak a Ford in there. I doubt anyone would notice :)
On December 8th, I bought a 2019 STI Limited in pearl white. Nearly have 1k miles on it already and I love every minute behind the wheel. It can be a very practical daily driver. With the stock exhaust, it’s very subtle. With an ETS Extreme catback...you’ll anger your entire neighborhood and scare/inspire future car enthusiasts. Insurance isn’t cheap. Ride isn’t bad...obviously not as smooth as my BMW was. I’m averaging just over 20 mpg, but that includes some spirited driving. The fun alone is worth it. Also, a few days ago, there was torrential rain and localized flooding in the road. Even going 50-60 mph, I never lost control. The tread on the factory Yokohama’s is very deep and no doubt aids in hydroplane reduction.
This car is a true enthusiast’s car and isn’t for the faint of heart. You probably won’t like it otherwise.
David Mayberry great input from your experience! Thank you so much for sharing that!it really helps!
Raiti's Rides, to be honest...your videos helped to cement my decision on buying this car!

I really appreciate you saying that!
That silver looks stunning!
I totally agree with you!
I daily drive a 2015 launch edition and love it it is 100% stock and has a little over 40k miles. I thought ground clearence would be an issue but it hasen't we got like 10 inches of snow and i had alot of fun in it and didnt get any new scrapes or anything. I will say maitnance is expensive though i had to replace my rotors and brake pads OEM parts are insanely expensive aftermarket rotors and pads can be had for like 500 bucks though. Car also only takes premium which adds up about 50 bucks to fill up and I get about 18 MPG with how I drive. I had to go buy winter wheels and tires too. The stock tires are awful in the cold or any snow/rain and with the orange oem wheels with the launch edition i dont want to mess them up in the salt so I bought Blizzak ws80s and some black wheels for the winter.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch!
