- I review the 2018 Subaru WRX Limited with a manual transmission. Some nice upgrades for the 2018 model year but still many of the same imperfections. What do you guys think of the 2018 WRX? Huge thanks to Matt for providing his car for this review!

P J its uncanny
Perhaps
+Pliskin Lol, I see someone is a DJ Khaled fan just like myself.
They look so alike, are they separated at birth
... none of yall realize its the same person??
These cars look so goofy on line, but ever time I see one in person I'm always doing a double and sometimes triple take smh.
Josiah Thibodeaux they look better “in the metal” 😊the red is great on this design.
Subaru WRX reviewing a Matt Maran
Pete T 😂😂😂
Only comes in two wheel drive.
blues03 not alot of horsepower but gets very powerful when doing backroad pedal to the metal tests LOL
"About the WRX...I'm a big fan them." That was precious.
0:45 "So about the 2018 WRX, well I'm a big fan of them."
This will turn him into a subaruwrxfan
zyzz doggie sorry he's a type r fan now lol tuck Subaru
SI RICKO ironically Honda's only cool car is a Subaru knockoff
Dont you mean a subrukjgdkiffbj fan..
tommy d u b b s lol
Ashish Parmar and the s2000 man :( (s2000 owner lol)
The buttons on the steering wheel being more numerous on the left side is probably due to the fact that your right hand is going to be on the shifter more often.
Martin Donohue base model cars often have cutouts for buttons that different trims have but just have little caps so that’s kinda irrelevant
What's up everybody SubaruWRX here for another Matt Maran review
Does anyone else watch these reviews just to see Matt's reaction during wide open throttle?
Matt the type of guy to nit you a sweater.
Lolz you're playing the Doug DeMuro game.
I'm glad you brought back that beat in the beginning. I've being asking you for awhile now, thanks
thanks for the updated review Matt, came in clutch & helped me decide to keep my 2016. My local Subaru offered me to early trade in my leased 2016 wrx for any 2018 on the lot, but after seeing this, I think I'll wait until my lease is up and hopefully the 2019 will be worth the wait
Best review yet, should consider changing your name to Subaruwrxfan!
Already thumbs up even before I watch the video. I picked up the exact same car in WRB 2 weeks ago. I was not expecting you to review this car so soon! Awesome Matt!
I just changed my WRX order from a white premium to a white limited... This review makes me super stoked!
This Matt Maran guy seems to be a fan of the subaru WRX.
Ryan Chow hmmm only if his name showed it too
Been waiting for this review, I just got my 2018's last week with the performance package, loving them recaros. Although still getting used to stick, Im having a ton of fun already, driving till my break-in period is done then time for back road acceleration giggles.
Since you're such a fan of Subaru WRX, maybe consider changing your channel name to something like subaruwrxfan. What do you think?
good review, glad you're listening to the audience .
keep it up with your AWESOME videos! you are the best!
Hey look, Matt is being subaruwrxfan again😂
Finally, a Subaru WRX for SubaruWRXfan
I made a POV video on a 2017 WRX. I like the way it drives, only annoying thing is that it feels underpowered under 3000rpm. For normal driving in town it doesn't feel that exciting until its revved over 3000rpms. Still a very cool car !
Nice video, it's great to see someone excited driving a car. I love cars and driving, I know the feeling. Best regards.
Subaru WRX fan is back for one review. lol ... Another great review Matt and would be an inexpensive car to learn how to drive a manual in, which I need to do this year sometime after winter.
Awesome reviews, bro. Very detailed, which is awesomeee
Great new camera angle at 9:45! Please do more of that in these reviews!!
Thanks! Only possible with the sunroof, but I'll try to use this shot for more cars with sunroofs.
Ahh gotcha! That makes sense!!
10:49 You welcome fam
ImRambo thnx fam
Rey Fuentes No problem bro
You dick😂😂😂
Kenny Fisher We all know the reason we watch these . Lmao
ImRambo you naughty boy 😂😂
On this particular video you should have introduced yourself as suburuwrxfan, that would have been nostalgic even if the name change was not long ago
I like your videos, they are very positive and contain plenty of details which is good. I also like to listen to your opinion
OG subscribers (from 2 weeks ago and before) know how significant this review is 😭😭
"The perfect thickness and a nice flat bottom." 😱
my fave thing about the wrx cars are when you play music and you can also hear the body panels rattle. really reminds me of what a 30 to 40k car sounds like
I always like your reviews Matt. Is it possible to talk a little about pricing base vs limited. Thanks
Matt, it's been 3 years since the 2015 came out in late 2014, you have to request a 2018 WRX (CVT) but put it in manual mode, Sport mode (not Sport #) and use the paddle shifters to shift. It will be a blast, you should really like it. I have a 2015 WRX CVT with a COBB tune and use it exclusively in manual mode. - it's a hell of a lot of fun
Going to pick up my 2019 one this week 😎
Just subscribed to SubaruwrxMoran and I'm liking the content
Good review Matt!
This video will go down in history.
Great camera angles
I recently got my 2020 Limited and I really love the car so far. Mine also has the STI short shifter which is essential to really get the most enjoyment from this car, although the throws could be a bit shorter. I am truly impressed by the performance of this car for the great price, and the handling and exhaust are fantastic. I'm even impressed with the fuel economy which has been around 30 MPG in mostly highway driving. I highly recommend the car!
Also, I totally agree that the accessory arm rest extension is cheapo plastic trash...and the release button on it rattles while I'm driving, which is annoying as hell. The problem is that the regular arm rest is too low without the extension, so I definitely need it. I just wish it was better quality. Fun fact: that crappy arm rest extension is $160! I agree about the brakes too. The pedal is definitely softer than I expected. I don't agree about throttle response or turbo lag. I don't feel any delay at all.
Now, we need the obligatory 2018 STI review. Make it happen, Matt!
Great review! 👍🏼
Dude I love your vids
Hey Matt, do you think you'll ever do the Mazda 6 with the manual? I'd be really interested in your opinion!
Also great review as always :)
Awesome intro!
Beautiful! Think I may pick one up
He is hammering down on the throttle in this poor guys car before it even hit 1,000 miles. WOW!!!!
thank you! I am going to buy one.
Matt thanks Matt
you gotta be in middle tennessee or maybe southern ky? those roads look super familiar... nice review!
He lives in Pittsburgh
very nice car and a great review
The owner Matt has this WRX. This Matt is reviewing it today. This is why it was "subaruwrxfan" in the first place, but because you like cars other than that like Mustangs like yours or 911s like Nick Murray's of which I'm dying for a review for, I kind of understand the name change. Nice vid, though. 🙂
The 6-speed manual transmission is the best choice for this car, but if you commute in stop-and-go traffic, the CVT isn’t bad for a CVT. Plus, the EyeSight assistance-driving I
My dream car😍
this is WHAT MADE YOU!!
There's a notorious black golf r that can't be beat
Loving mine!
Can't get enough of driving manual transmission's
Dope intro
Haha, within the first 50 seconds you used the words Subaru WRX and Fan, still got it.
Wish I'd lived closer, id let you review my 2018 sti
just bought my wife a cvt wrx and I love the car. looks almost audi-esque imo.
Hey Matt, watching the video and when you are commenting about the large cubby under the HVAC controls (6:12) it looks like there might be a slot to the left of the power outlet. Maybe a USB jack? Probably can't see it from where you sit in the driver's seat....
I wish subaruwrxfan would review this wrx
I like the combination of this intro better
Mat, what you feelt around or after 5000 RPM during full throttle was the ECU pulling timing.
I think this is the most appropriate time to say "what's up everyone subaruwrxfan here " in your whole CZcams career
I miss it when he was super excited about this car lol I’ll go watch that one instead
Love it best review ever! Next time you are in LA come review my Car. I have a Ghibli SQ4. Every car reviewer hates the Ghibli I would like to see your opinion
I got it for 30k below MSRP.
Keen to hear your thoughts on the 2018 STI with the new Recaros. Particularly in comparison to the new Civic Type R
Back when you were the "subaruwrxfan" you were so easy to recognize and easy to remember
What mic were u using for the back bumper nameless exhaust shot? Did you use a GoPro? I have action Cam and the sound quality sucks when trying to record my WRX exhaust. Please let me know I'd appreciate it bud!
You should review an AE86 Toyota TRUENO. That'll be great!
Well the
1 of April will be my anniversary here and everything I have was basically been like that.
*Sick review brah!*
Hecka cool review bruh!
"I'm a big fan of them." I see what you did there.
great job
Actually navigation is available with the starlink app when connected to the headunit
probably the disproportion of buttons in the steering wheel is due to the fact that most people use their right hand to shift so most of the time the left hand is the only one that's free to press sw buttons
I've always wanted this in red but I've heard from so many people to avoid red unless you don't mind getting pulled over :/ is this true?
May 2020... I will be behind the wheel of one.
My old neighbor had a WRX, thing sounded like a fighter jet everytime he came home.
I need one of these.
I test drove a 2016 WRX with CVT...what a dog. I knew as soon as I pressed the gas pedal this car was not for me. This coming from an ex owner of an '04 WRX for 8 years. The unequal headers and a turbo back with large bellmouth down pipe were the bomb!
Deadzone in same area also found in the FA20 on the brz/frs/86
That flat spot is totally there on the 2017 WRX. Right around 4500.
This car has so much room for improvement! C'mon Subaru!
Hey guys I recently got in my friends '18 wrx to run through the gears. That shifter felt like absolute butter. I have a 2011 wrx with a cobb short throw shifter with front and rear bushings in it and it's not even close to being as smooth and crisp as the 2018. I was wondering if I'd be able to take 2018 shifter and put in my 2011 or if anyone can suggest a smoother shifter than the Cobb short throw.
So much for the break in period lol!
Was this shot at the cars and coffee Wexford or cranberry location.....that shopping center looks very familiar
Whats up everybody Subaru Wrx here, this is of course the Matt Maran fan, wait what..
So does Subaru still have the head gasket problems?
Big Subaru wrx fan huh? Couldn't tell!
That was a very funny joke you slipped in there at the start.
I know you've done the STI a bunch, but could you review the 2018 STI some time?
Is the STI short throw shifter already included in the limited 2018 WRX or do you have to get it separately?
Any plans to review the 2019?
Looking at getting a 2016 wrx limited, only worried being a more sporty car is that the previous owner or owners have beat the shit out of it. One I'm looking at now is at Nissan dealer and it says has a Cobb tunning which definitely worried that the previous tried to and did modify the car. What are some things I should look for or should I just stay away from used wrx all together?
Hey Matt, do you know when the subaru brz going to be released??
