  • Hey guys, sorry I've been busy with my day job and working on this video has taken a slight backseat. It was one of the most challenging history videos I've done so far and I had to cut portions out because it was reaching 20minutes. Hope you all enjoy this history video of the Subaru WRX & STI!

      I bought my 02 bugeye last week it’s one of the most amazing car I’ve owned, it came with a HKS exhaust that the previous owner had put on but everything else was stock I currently have three cars and the bugeye is one of my favorites next to my 88 Supra

      1 year update, car is at 166k miles and the stock turbo finally decided to start letting go of it's coolant seal and push coolant out the exhaust on hot startups, just threw in a brand new stock replacement on my day off and the car is back to feeling great and still getting me to work every day🤙🏻

      Bought a 13 WRX a couple weeks ago. Seemed like the perfect choice (until it breaks.) I don’t like the look or sound of the new ones but still wanted bluetooth and some more modern gizmos. Now if I can just learn how to drive the damn thing.

    2:08 Just to add some extra info for everyone; The G in GC, GM or GF means it's the Impreza line of vehicles. The C, M or F is the chassis code. Ironically, C is sedan. M is coupe. And F is wagon. Feel free to confirm this in the General Information section of any Subaru Factory Service Manual (FSM). Specifically in the section that breaks down the VIN (Section 1-3). To add to it, the 8 in GC8 and GF8 are the engine code. In this case: a turbo'd EJ20. In the US, this series has two models, the GC6 and the GM6. This is specifically the Impreza 2.5RS. The 6 meaning an EJ25 (NA) and they made slightly more C (sedans) than M (coupes). Subaru'd yet to bring a turbo charged engine to US shores.

    Excellent video as usual. I actually came close to buying a '06 STi 14 years ago. That was about a week before I drove an Evolution IX. The STi had a lot going for it. Today, 14 years later, I still get a thrill every time I drive my IX.

    Honestly, the bug eye and the blob eye are my favorite as far as looks go, it's very unique. After that I think the Impreza looks like every other new car nowadays. I wish they would come up with a more unique look.

    Interesting evolution of Subaru. Got myself a bugeye and im happy with it. But subaru tho has its common problems like the spark plugs which are difficult to change if it is your first time. Blowing up head gaskets and they dont like to race start....
    But at the end a verx unique car to daily drive...and thats the cool thing about this car. Its properly fast even stock. It looks fantastic and it has no problem daily driving it. :)

    Subaru is known for making 4 door sedans and wagons in their performance cars. The rarest among them is the Impreza WRX STI Type R (2 door). Extremely rare as it was only available in Japan if I remember correctly. Probably the only Impreza I would consider buying if able to do so. Still an educational video.

    Nice video bro, my dream car is an STi. The first time i drove one was in a auction and i was about 17yrs old not knowing anything about cars. It was a blue blob eye STi, all i knew was that it had an exhaust and a blowoff valve. I did not know what the hell was that noise, but i knew from that the car felt different when driving it. I see the STi emblems everywhere but still did not know what it means.
    Funny thing is that i started learning how to drive at the auction and thought my self. Now that im 32yrs with kids and haad a few cars for the family i can finally buy soon my dream car. Lets see if the 2020s are any good, if anything i stick with the 4th gen.
