I bought my 2012 WRX today and I shit you not not even 20 minutes of owning it, a 2017 and a 2004 passed by me and honked/waved. The community gives you love. 💙
love, thats what makes a subaru a subaru
@@nursinghomefan Jeeps do thay
Vw GTI owners do the same thing I love it
im jealous that im only 15 years old and cant have my dream car ut i know that im gonna save up money and get it one day
Is that your first car? Just asking...
Fun fact: Subaru Rally Blue and gold came from their original sponsors, State Express 555, aka cigarettes, aka nicotine, aka vape, aka the stereotype just means they're being true to their roots.
@Joseph Bird *raises hand*
Lol I wanted one before I started smoking and before I knew about all that... now I Vape and got one a year ago... fuck smh 🤦♂️ just fitting the sterotypes lol 😂
Marlboro in F1 racing? So sad that idiots when stupid until itngot banned
The random subaru wrx wave with other wrx drivers are the best.
One of the best parts.. Haha.
It's not as prevalent anymore :(
its a subiewave bro, not just for WRXs, hoodscoop=subiewave
It’s not a wave it’s a peace sign ✌️
@@jennifferrivera5052 it's called a subie wave...
So you want to have a nicotine addiction
Edit: Fitment Industry do y’all not like the joke?
Lmao
Vape addiction*
Jon Gil sane thing but in vape form
@TheCampingNoob nah that's that weak shit 40 nic salt bud

AWD is like laxatives
It's helps you go but doesn't help you stop
Good thing we have brakes right?
Double clutch downshift. Awd definitely slows you down faster. 2,3,4 diffs. Def slows you down faster
It does if you have a two way lsd
I should probably say that this saying holds best in the snow
In Wisconsin, winter reveals where the smart people are...they're the ones in Subaru's with snow tires. And the dumb people are the ones asking "Why do you have snow tires when you have AWD?"
This guy sounds exactly like Linus tech tips lol
btv I sAiD tHaT
Whaaaaaa-
*brain explodes
Holy fuck
Linus Car Tips
For real lol! When he first walked on camera without his face in frame I thought to myself "Wait.. Linus has a car channel too? 🤔"
Yes. You're not wrong.
I do want a WRX.
I love the sound.
I love the AWD.
I love the rally heratige.
I love the turbo.
I do have a hatred for evos.

U like vape?

Chunkee Cheez sorry man
The world needs back markers so I get the choice you made you dont have to be on top as long as you like your car everything is good.
I own a Forester. It's been down for a year. They say admitting is the first step to recovery
I horse beat the shit out of my 5 speed xt and never had an issue at 150k
I drive a alfa 156 V6. Since i got that thing it didnt stop having problems. I wonder if the things they say about alfas will be actually true ? My dad had 2 alfas and didnt have problems with them at all. Maybe he didnt have since he had money i dont :D
oof
What happened?
@@stubaru4896 Headgasket went at 170,000 and I got carried away and rebuilt the engine. With ARP headstuds too
"The insurance loves them, because they're just a Subaru." HA. I wish. I pay more a month for my insurance than I do my actual car payment. Otherwise, I love my WRX!
@ImaCoward124 how old are you?
My insurance doesn’t love my wrx because it’s a Subaru, they love it because I’m dumb enough to pay more for insurance than I do on my car payment
I have a 2016 sti, I pay $375/month but I'm also 19 and live in Ontario Canada, which has one of the highest insurance rates in the country
Mines 250 lol who do you have that it's so cheap?
@Tyler W I'm about to turn 16 and gonna buy wrx how much do you think bill be paying
Amadeus Charlez for you probably $450.
What year you planning to get?
I'm 27 and I pay $155/mo for my '17 WRX I used to pay 100 for my V6 Charger so I was actually pretty relieved since google told me to expect 250.
As long as you take care of a car you won’t have head gasket issues, or many issues for that matter. Subaru’s are the sort of cars that like to be driven semi-hard, as long as you are not flogging them every day it’s fine. My car literally drives like a new car after recently having a service and it had its timing belt replaced. It’s at 160,000miles/200,000km and runs fine.
My STI's on its 3rd engine now. This time I'm not going stock. (I picked it up with its 2nd engine, which died shortly after.)
Leave them stock and for the most part you won't have any issues. Start modifying the car without doing internals and you will have issues.
My stock sti popped twice. 2005. The engine will blow sooner or later.
the problem is the young kids beating on them before the engine is even warm or driving them hard then shutting off straight away :') then cry that it's a crap engine. or they're slapping on any bolt on they can afford with out a tune and wondering why they afr is leaning out ahaha.
FBO E85 and i’m doing great :) 365whp 340tq it’s that shitty old ej motor and it’s all in your tuner. and taking care of the car lol
Driver mod first and foremost. Plenty of FBO cars 500+awhp with zero issues. Maintenance is key, don't add a burble tune and two step then constantly stay against the limiter most are fine.
Or do research and you won’t have issues and still modify
Could you guys do “So you want a rotary”at some point?
Its on the way stay tuned!
@@FitmentIndustries tee hee
stay "tuned"
Fitment Industries oh we will🙃
@@FitmentIndustries *☀FD3$🙄Really🗺you guy'$ Touch a Spot🌞*
“So you want an unreliable engine”
For me, the further back in the WRX/STi lineage you go, the better they look. I love the bug-eye and the the old Impreza 2.5RS with an STi motor swap is definitely a dream car.
my 97 obs thinks your awesome, and appreciates the compliment.....
My bugeye sti swap also loves you back !
You sir are correct in your opinion
how good are the bugeyes!!! got one myself that im doing a series on and tbh, the months leading up to me getting one i wasn't sure on the look... but everytime i saw one on the street it really started to grow on me.. then pretty much the moment i was off my restricted license i got one :')
You spelled gc8 sti wrong
Sitting in my wrx *hits vape* ooo they made a subie video *click* *hits vape* oh damn the intro got me 😂
glad i can own a wrx without falling into the stereotypes ahaha. never vaped. owned for a year and still no cobb or invidia or new head gasket needed :') also love evos, want to own one one day and my dream sti is actually the 09 hatch.. currently own/building a bugeye wagon and love the practicality it has to offer.
I know. I don't fit into the stereotypes either 😊 lol. And I have a hatch WRX but want a bugeye 😂 lmao. Also love Evo's and would love to have one. Let's be best friends?
Im assuming yours in the one in your background photo?? so you have the one that I want... I have I have the one you want ahahaha. Sounds good :')
So you lost to an EVO 9?
Tr3vor LMAO
shiet mane... big faccs
They lost? lol you mean Evo lost to Sti that’s why they stop the production of Evo haha
It’s a joKe
UncrownKing now lets think about this who really won?( don't take this too seriously) technically Subaru loses due to the authenticity of the evo and it's rarity🤔
@@evoryderz rarity? because mitsu couldn't sell them like subaru could sell the wrx? .... ooohhh, so the demand wasn't there, okay, now i get it.
Absolutely the coolest, quickest, most informative video about the car that I have ever seen. To be more accurate,to be such a short video, it is easily the most informative and entertaining video about the Subaru. Congrats!
Okay I would like to say that you don’t have to replace your headgaskets if you simply drive the car right and don’t beat the shit out of it😂 my brother drive one for 5 years, did an oil change ever 3k miles, and kept up on other proper maintenance, never did he once blow a headgasket, and yes he still had plenty of fun with it lol
The next one should be "So You Want A Nissan Z" episode!
I owned one the "z" scene is full of idiots, anime lovers an just about anyone that can shell out 7k for a salvaged sport car with a usually screwed up 3rd gear sold it an got a corvette an am much happier with the scene
Oceanic Dangernoodle what do you drive
I had a STI 2015 with 400/400 on E85 and had no engine issues for the enite time I had it for 25k miles. True, the rods and rings are weak but the engines tuned right and maintained are far from glass.
I drive an 18 WRX. I have a rear sway bar, a front strut bar, a Cobb, Method wheels, a short shifter, shifter gates, a shift knob, and a muffler delete. The FA20DIT is a great platform as long as you're not shooting for more than 400 WHP. After that it makes more sense to go with an STI, if you're dead set on Subaru. I was dyno'd at 257 WHP and 296 WTQ which I'm very happy with. I like how the car handles mostly anyways. It's great going to the backroads and absolutely clapping my buddies who drive higher power RWD cars. Only guy able to keep up with me on the backroads is my buddy who drives a modded SW20.
Well see where things are after MoTeC. Im already seeing more 400+ FA20s now. still not gonna hold my breath tho
As an owner of a 2012 STI hatch, I approve of this message.
Here rewatching all the so you wants and a wrx is definitely on my list of cars that I would buy. I prefer two doors but I need a four door due to family purposes. When I do eventually get a car one of these will definitely be a consideration. Can be made to look good and still be a daily
I've had my WRX for 16 years now. So far, all I replaced were the clutch and the spark plugs. That's it. It's the most reliable car I've ever had.
Battery? I already had to replace my 2015's battery twice.
I live in Central Arkansas and we have a very lacking car scene outside of muscle cars. A WRX around here had always been hard to find... Until 2015. Now the new ones are absolutely everywhere
constant waves, surprisingly helpful community, enthusiast group discounts thru dealerships.....subaru formed a cult. i love my subaru and i think ill only own em.
On my fourth WRX. I have an 18 & 19 in the driveway. I’m in love with them.
98% of those stereotypes started with the '15+ cars.
I knew that I should have kept my '08 STI.
Zapablast05 why is that so
TheFancyLlama the FA engine
Bought a Subaru and within a month I became a pod-a-day type of guy😪
Your History in regards to Subaru's Rally program that birthed the WRX is woeful
i've had a stock 08 STI for two years now and i absolutely adore it!
it's practical, comfortable on road trips, and pretty quick.
i also own an s2000.
cant say which i prefer but the subi grips like a champ!
"Life is too short to stay stock."
I like this, baby
This is everything you need to know. To get up to speed, on the subaru WRX.
Thurs BMX I was thinking the same thing.
damn. the timing of this is insane, thank you!!!
"you took our child away and made it fat and boring!" best line ever.
"Somewhat reliable"😂😂 Thanks for keeping it real!
Bought a wrx 2 years ago and modded it quite a bit, I’m over it. Decided to have a track car and a daily.
Never vaped.
Paid actor
Jediael damn... how’s you know?
2016 Wrx owner here.I love it .
How do you keep reading my mind every time I think of getting a new car or new suspension you make a video on it the next day I’m mind blown.
Already got one. S202 , #267.
So much better than my US WRX of the same year with spongy brakes and over-boosted steering.
I just picked up a 2012 WRX hatch and so far no issues
I'm about to buy one, what you think of it 10 months later?
I did it, I'm picking up mine in 6 hours. I'm so excited
Where i live there are actualy 2 wrx owners one has a black one with pink calipers and the other is blue with gold wheels. And for any Celica gt4 fans one also lives close by. Its quite fun walking my dog i can tell ya that.
I used to want a wrx till I saw the price people sell clapped out ones for.. the good ol Subaru tax. Instead I built my 3rd gen legacy with a hybrid 255/251 motor fabbed my own piping slapped a td04 on it did some fueling upgrades and on low boost make the same power as an 02-07 wrx for literally just under half the price of an abused used wrx. Totally worth it.
Chris Santos hell yeah. I’m currently building a 22/251 for boost right now
@@dpmedia7550 nice man! Join the na/t Subaru Facebook page if you haven't yet!
Chris Santos but there's not much more head room for power or aftermarket support.
@@CXANGLING speedyefi makes full standalone ECU's for subarus so I'm not quite limited power wise since I can run any size injectors and what not. But you are correct about there not being much aftermarket exterior modifications. Theres like one guy in Russia making body kits. The rest of the stuff is just trying to get better looking jdm parts lol.
"You can find another wrx owner to the Walmart parking lot" bruh I wish I could find ANY car enthusiast around me really
Priest Seiryu Which state you live at?
Bro in my town me and my friends used to make fun of the cool cool car club cause they'd sit all night in the parking lots showing off their cars . Come to MD or PA tons of enthusiasm here
my town has a red wrx, a blue sti, and me with the orange/red impreza GT (same as a wrx just last years motor)
i even have a photo of me in the walmart parking lot parked with the blue sti and a old outback in between us
I love my 2014 hatchback, and I also love to see in the comments below about all the WRX drivers waving. East coast here (Delaware) and it is absolutely true here!
My grandpa 02 Subaru Impreza's been handed down to me 3 years ago. Since then, I put in a 5 speed manual gearbox, a WRX 2l engine, a straight piped 3' exhaust, decent tires and coilovers. It's been a fun ride :D I beat a 2015 WRX on a straight line and "held" a type R, which isn't really close to my power range lol
loving the new series. as much as I want an so you want a 350z/370z.
I think so you want a rotory or classic car would be a good idea
When I drove my Malibu I always got the feeling of being pulled due to FWD especially in an incline road but AWD makes you feel like you are floating. God Bless Subarus
Literally me I drive a Malibu test drove a wrx fell in love getting one next year after my trade in
My mom bought a WRX the first year they came to North America but sold it when I was about four. I never forgot that car, it was the last cool vehicle my mom ever owned and I'm hoping I can get my hands on one someday.
I like them and I love seeing modded wrx’s. Only reason I didn’t get one was because I stepped into the dealer and the sales people didn’t bat an eye. Went across the street and got a 18’ civic Si coupe and drove it over afterwards :b the look on their face was priceless.
Yeah I had jeans and a T-shirt but I was there to buy a Subaru, not a Lamborghini. And my Si has no issues and can keep up to modded wrx’s and even beat most. Still want an Sti someday
I've had a '16 WRX for 3 years now, I love it.
Does it drift well in the winter?
@@lk6912 I rarely get snow in the south but the few times I have driven it in the snow it was a blast.
The wex is one of the best platforms you can work with but when I bought my 2017 wrx I had to get the head gaskets replaced 2 months after getting since then I haven't had a problem it all depends on how much boost you want to push out of it for me 20 is about the limit
Bought my 2018 wrx a month ago and the first time I took it out I ran into a blob eye same color and he waved. It’s been great ever since.
I'm glad he brought up the stereotypes that's what always shyed me a way from Subys always been an evo guy but a lot of my friends love Subaru.
This video made me subscribe. I love my WRX and vid had me rolling
Thank you! Welcome to the fam! 🙏🏼😂
Do a “So you want to own a Focus ST” and have a Dakota do it!
Garrett Stocker i got an ST and wish i did more research on it before i bought it. Still love driving the hell out of it, bought new in 17’ and already have 54k miles on it. Lol
Garrett Stocker so you wanna own a bmw
Maxwell *Personal Account* definitely not!
Jesse Budelman I have a 2017 ST as well and I love it!
Garrett Stocker I was saying that should be one of the ones
I actually have a profound interest in this car, and decided to check out that leak issue.
Apparently in modern Subaru's, the problem is pretty much a rarity, and unlikely to happen.
Big relief they managed to pretty much work that kink out. I can't afford the $1000+ repair bill, lmao
Got me a wide body 13. Clapped out. Second week with it and I love it
The bugeyes are the best looking year. I will die on a hill for this.
yep, agree - love the bugeyes for the nose, scoop and damn sexy box flares. But still really enjoy my '18...
Braaaaaaaahhhh they fuckin grotty
I love them all equally, but the bugeye is the model that made me fall in love with the car.
I try not to make eye contact with the SUBIE guys and the VW guys. They might steal my soul.
Nad3 i will steal ur soul
Did someone say GTI?
YEESSSS YOU GUYS ACTUALLY MADE IT~~~
I just got my 2021 Subaru WRX Premium yesterday in Pure Red and I love it 🥰
Subaru owners: *doing nothing*
EVO BRO: BOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLTTTTTTT ONNNNSSSSSSSSSS
The myth I heard about WRX eco side was that you could drive one through a city area during heavy traffic and the the exhaust gases would be less polluted then the air it was running in. I have no idea where I heard this but to the younger impressionable me it always sounded kinda cool. Now that I think about it, it may have been a Top gear episode?
and here I am getting 18 mpg with 93 octane fuel... It costs me about $2.50 every 30 mins to drive.
I just got a 2015 WRB WRX for my 15th birthday and I love it, second best car I’ve ever driven. (1st is my moms mk5 Supra or dads c8)
It's all about maintenance on Subaru's. I've got an 02 wrx wagon, bone stock drivetrain (other than the JDM STI 3 puck stage 2 clutch). Just changed the OG clutch, from 2002, at 240k! Trans is solid, motor has zero issues, burns minimal oil, and trust me, I beat the crap out of it. Fully synthetic every 3k and you'll be good as long as you arent launching it and you can drive. Currently at 247k, still truckin'!
Maintenance = KEY 🙏🏼
Won me over with the start guys....if you like blue and yellow and own a pair of Oakleys......literally me and I still can't stop laughing at it....
"You find a Subaru enthusiast everywhere! And that's saying something"
Oh god there spreading!
They're
Please forgive me.
first car was a hand me down bugeye wrx from my stepdad that was beat to shit, even tho the transmission blew up on me after 3 months I still want another one more than anything and can’t wait to get another one. I fell in love and am def a subie fanboy
I want one since I was 5 and the supra but the Subaru is winning me over I drove one for week and feel in love with it
I got into a 2013 WRX Hatch from an S2000 last year. The WRX drives great and has a ton of power. But the shifter is sloppy and interior feels/sounds cheap (common criticism from what I've read). I've driven older (1992 with 300k miles) civics that feel better put together from an interior stand point. Subaru spend their load on the drivetrain/suspension. Since those gripes are minimal I'm happy with the car and recommend it.
LOL @ 2:30~ starts talking about blob eye facelift, yet 1stAND 2nd reference clips are of a hawkeye! lol love u guys but nobody else caught that?? or didnt think anyone would notice? LOL!
I own an 07 N/A Forester and an 04 STi swapped FXT. Gonna be taking the STi engine and putting it in the N/A one since the 04 one is totaled. Cant wait!
Owned my 11 Sti stg 2 for over a year, its the best
BRZ be like ayyy I’m here you know
exahust, intake, and a catch can or an AOS is all you need. Anything after don't push it unless you have the the money to build up the motor.
I have an 18 wrx that I bought new in 17. Love it.
very informative. ready to dig in to my 2015 WRX Premium.
My whole class (racing) got spanked by an sti last weekend lol
Have a 2013 limted wrx hatch fuckin love it never owned or thought about owning a subaru ever until i drove one when i was car shoppin was game over for me🤓 i did however while i was car shoppin had one intention amd that was to find a good platform to build on that is all
I bought my 05 STI off a friend for about 11k. It's been a really fun car. Modifications are definitely endless. BUT I do not like most other Subaru enthusiasts. Very similar to the 16 year old Honda boys. But all in all good car for a first "project" kind of car.
Loved your review
I want to own a WRX... STI, happy I live in Canada so I can import a GC8 with that beautiful EJ207 jdm engine with 7800 redline
Love my 2016 STI, decided I wanted to go a different route and lifted it 2 inches and run it in Rallycross events.
Fuck yes mad props!
Bandwagons
That’s sick af 😂

I own a '02 WRX hatch that I bought new. This will be the kiss of death , 204K miles. Not real issues with the car the first 10 years after that I've spent some $$. For me it's the price of admission for owning a car that's '17 years old. I would buy another one today if I could ($24K). Still enjoy the car every time I sit in the seat.
Best video you guys made pls do more like this for like a 370z or 240
I Had a 16 WRX and traded it for my s2000. Best choice I’ve ever made.
Angel68iou1 do you ever miss having a backseat?
Nina Pagonakis nah, I had to adapt to not having a lot of stuff in my car lol
If ur gonna get a WRX get a 2011-2014
Last of the real tuner engine the EJ series
I have a wrx 2013 and I always love the curves it has
I bought a 2004 sti with an EJ207 swapped in it and i love it
Just got my 17 premium. Love it
I own a 16 WRX STI, and everything you said it’s true. It’s hard to admit it but it’s true. Oh! Almost forgot... the world is flat ; )
Never vaped though...
Every thing? So the wrx does have a head gasket problem? Or did i misunderstand?
Fake the Subaru is a paid actor
Im guilty of the rally armor mudflaps.
@@ypahub01 The 2015+ WRX (non-STI) has a new engine.
Love my 11 WRX hatch
I love my white 13 WRX hatch. So i'm right there with ya!
@@Reserved_Rogue same love my swp
Wrx are everywhere. That is why I went for my Evo and I am loving every minute of it
get out of here man, get out of here.
acura130 it’s true don’t get upset
APE1337 I have had my Evo x with 80k miles now, engine is running strong and I just upgraded the clutch to a stage 2 competition. I am enjoying every bit of it. Not that expensive
I own a pair of Oakleys. Blue and gold is my favorite color combo. I'm saving for an STI 🙃
Gotta color match!😂
Idk about anywhere else, but in Florida everyone’s first mod for a WRX is an axle back/muffler delete😂😂
That was my first mod when I got mine in December haha
From NJ btw
This is TOTALLY the type of person that would drive a subaru minus the vape.
My fav wrx has to be the 08’+ hatchback...i love it. Haha but never owned a wrx but one of my buddies had one and dumped a lot on repairs ( bug eye version)
I love way out in the moutians small little last stop town before a popular camp ground . Every has a Jeep or Subaru . After I chose to get wrx, I started to notice around the small town .
I last minute pivoted from a heavily used jeep wrangler ( lost my down it was so last minute ) and put a down on a 2014 same day it was listed. Like new. Very proud of myself I think wise choice
