  • This Subaru WRX STI is a JDM legend. The 1994 model year was the first for the acclaimed Subaru STI. Under the hood is a 2.0L turbocharged flat-4 producing 274 HP & mated to a 5-speed gearbox. Power of course is getting to the ground through Subaru's AWD. This 1994 STI is one of just 200 that were produced. Let me show you all the details of when the Subaru WRX STI legend began.

    I had this car in 2004 for 3 years. The most amazing car I've driven. I used to get excited looking at it getting ready for the drive to work. The start up sound the cold air in through the larger air filter. The whistle off the turbo. Just wow. The handling on English roads. Man I need one again.

    The point to getting these cars is the whole feel of the car. It's completely mechanical feeling from the shifter, the tranmission, how the turbo spools, and you can feel the power click from different parts of the car just totally mechanical compared to majority of cars today just goes with no feedback hardly any vibration.

  • @soomz5159
    @soomz5159 Před 5 lety +2

    Hi Joe,
    I drive a GF8 (2001 Impreza Outback Sport) and its an absolutely amazing car. I got very lucky and picked up a single owner car that wound up at a local BMW/Mini dealership last year. The previous owner kept care of it meticulously and drove the car for 17 years and only put on 129,584 miles. I love driving the thing so much that I am already close to 160,000 miles.
    I get a lot compliments wherever I go and very few cars give that raw driving sensation such as the GC8 / GF8 you mentioned in the video. This was THE car in my opinion that gave Subaru it's street cred today. It's a sleeper car and soon to be collector's car in my opinion. If you're interested the original GC8/GF8 designer in Japan has an instagram (@teshimades) and you can see a photo of him here in front of the car he designed: instagram.com/p/BvEvwlSg4K1/
    He also has a IMPREZA WRX STi Version2 (1995) 555 Replica (Carlos Sainz/Monte Carlo). Very few people are aware that Carlos Sainz Jr's (F1 Driver for 2019 Mclaren-Renault) father did drive for Subaru during the Colin Mcrae years.
    Love that you take the time out to show rare cars that some of your viewers may not have been around for. Please keep doing them!

    To be an 'all original' car, this car should have colour codes sideskirts, not plain black! Being an Impreza Sti, it should also have a red inlet manifold, this was one of the hallmarks of all the Sti engines!

I wanted one when I was 19 when they came out but here in Oz they were the ram raiders car of choice and insurance was upwards of $4k a year for someone my age...... only bought it a few months ago and my wife was not impressed at my middle age crisis purchase. The smile this little wagon puts on my face on the weekends when I take her for a spin was worth the money I paid for it.......and the constant shade my darling wife gives me 😜 love the review mate, great work as usual. if you wanna check my old wagon out - instagram.com/p/B0K2tjwgmhS/?igshid=1l5vh77c6z63i
