We asked Justin what his dream car was, and he said a Subaru Impreza 22B. So we drove it to find out if it's worth nearly half a million bucks.
Special thank you to Kaiser Kars for making Justin's dream come true. Check them out at www.kaiserkars.com

A rare example of a Subaru that’s never been vaped in, that’s an extra 100k added right there
Easily
not so rare example of some dude spamming over vape + subaru jokes every 5 minutes as if he just came up with it just to end up making a shitty joke.
I love vaping in my wrx s4

@@ni9ecompany830 tell me you own a subaru without telling me.
Brave of someone to let Donut drive their Subaru after their history with them
Especially THIS one lmao
"we put 5 engines in this 22b!"
yeah seriously lol they have no idea how to run them and take care of them
Yup. That's what I thought too. Hoping they don't eff this one up.
Subarus are known for producing dog shit motors. I don't think it was all on them.
I just wanna say the staff for donut are the nicest people I met Justin at subie fest this year and man he was such a pleasure to talk to. it was so nice meeting him because he actually wanted to talk to me and my friends. thank you for being so nice Justin!
Justin's delivery of the 'no passenger airbag line' was top quality 👌😂
I love how excited Justin was in the first scene where James was introducing us to the car😂😂
I would be too😂😂
In his mind: I hoped that this doesn’t go to junkyard 🤣
@@AlexanderChristopher-qg4kl please dont do things like this and make a bad name for islam.
Good point.
I know I would have been too. (:
I would have pooed myself...
I feel like this has an "Up To Speed" energy, with cars on the road.
I hope they keep this format.
agree
Yes..
Hopefully they can get their old animating person back.
They need to talk LOUDER. I can’t hear A THING they’re saying. It makes me so ANGRY.. NOT EVERYONE CAN HEAR WHAT THEY’RE SAYING.

Now we need a series of everyone at Donut driving their dream cars!!!
Agree.
That would be so awesome! You just know they’re going to have so much knowledge of the car, as well as stories about how they came to love it. Then you would get to see that passion coalesce into them actually getting to drive it!
That was what miracle whips existed for before the series got axed.
this channel is certified 💯 great production y’all, much love!! ❤️🔥
We got 5 of those here in Australia in 1999 along with 200 of the STI coupes.A few grey import ones have popped up every now and then as well. It is very rare any of them come up for sale. Last time i saw one out in the wild would probably be 1999. Awesome cars
US didnt even get the gc8, if i remember. They only got the wrx from 2002 onwards, so its really difficult to get a RHD imported one over there. We were lucky in Aus that we had plenty of the old gc8's and other JDM cars on our roads.
you guys forgot to mention that "22b" in hex is "555"! which is literally the racing livery number for Subaru back then. pretty insane how you skipped on that one 😆
I came here to post this, I’m glad you pointed it out!
@@shavenyak1 its common knowledge, was surprised it wasn't in the video 🤓😂
My dead grandma knows that 22b in hex is 555. Such trival knowledge!
555 was the name of a cigarette brand in SE Asia, the sponsors. 😅 if what you're saying is true, it must be coincidence.
What is hex
This is the first time I've truly appreciated one of your ads. Completely related to the channel, an actual demonstration of the product, and had entertainment woven in. Seriously, we need more like that for sure.
I was impressed. That was a awesome camera and they showed what it can do. Very cool!
I concur. Didn't even realize it was an ad. Was enjoyable and if I were in the market for such a camera......I would consider it
I mean their ads are pretty good but i i agree this one was sick !
I was mesmerized by the volvo in the ad, wishing these guys did more Volvo stuff
I dead ass watched the entire add while brushing my teeth and I genuinely enjoyed it 😂
This was great video. 2 things i love, 22B, the holy grail GC8, and donut merch i can literally go to the mall in Toronto and get. Thank you 🙏🏾
The 22B was the first car I ever obsessed over. I read about it every chance that I got. I loved that it was faster than the Ferrari 355 and yet could tear up the dirt without even a tire change. Honestly if Subaru released a version of the STI like this today it'd sell like crazy.
ofcourse it would sell it was limited run lol
No, they decided to turn the STi into an EV 🤦🏻♂️🤣
22b is iconic. The legacy of the wrx still holds to this day, I'm on my 2nd and every time I get in it and start it up, the vibes are there.
I just don't the new shape of the wing. Our 2015 STI's wing looks nicer ... in my opinion, but what do I know. LOL. It is a cute little car, but I'm also drooling over a cherry 197? El Camino a neighbor has parked in his driveway. To drive an El Camino after I got personalized plates with my name LComeno on them would make this old lady happy. :)
Always good to see the boys get genuinely excited about something. Happy for Justin.
Yep. Me too happy for Justin.
With the ad I always find cameras that show the shakiness and bumps better. Makes it look like the cars are fighting and having a harder time on track than when it's completely smooth
I had a '99 2.5RS many years ago, I loved that thing. Sadly the transmission started to go on it, and I was a poor young man at the time and couldn't afford to replace the transmission, so it got sold to a guy that wanted to engine swap it. Hope that car is still going strong today.
The 22b Sti is such a legend. I saw one a few years ago in Boston and it blew my mind and started my Carspotting journey. Such a great car.
Subaru USA and Vermont Sports Car share ownership of one. The only mileage it gets is around a parking lot and on and off a trailer for subaru events like Wicked Big Meet and Boxerfest
oh your jourrrrrney erbody got a journey all of a sudden lol just repeatin dumb words other dumbies say lol
i’m in the boston area where could i go to see it? do they show it at car shows or at a dealership or anything?
It was just on a street corner. Craziest thing ever. Someone just parked it like normal.
RIP Colin McRae. It's strange how this world of ours works. The absolutely most insane rally driver to ever live, pushed the limits of what was humanly capable in a vehicle. Passes away do to an accident of an entirely different kind. You've cheated death so many times, but death somehow wins.
Screw that guy. Killed two kids stunting in a helicopter.
It was literally him at the controls.
I think all (decent) Group B driver & co-drivers were at least as mad, but that takes nothing away from his glory in the 90s, it was like they forgot to tell him Group was cancelled
@AlexanderChristopher-qg4kl you must really like the 22b
Same with Ken Block.
Congratulations on the partnership guys! I live on the east coast, so I will not be able to make it :(. I appreciate the videos and all of y’all’s hard work over the years. Thank you for everything!
22B is one of my favorite cars of all time. Well done donut. Great pick Justin!
I normally don’t watch ad integrations but I have to say I really enjoyed that “ad”. It was actually watchable content. I love your personalities but they always seem “acted” when ads roll in. This one hits way different. Way to go boys!
weirdly felt the same way. Put some Blink 182 sounds over some sick car footage and I'm down
First time I haven't clicked ahead to the end of the yellow progress bar! Great "ad"
I skip past every last one I see regardless of what channel I’m watching. I hate being sold on products I’ll never have a use for.
the combination of their stellar post-production team, the fact that the product is best showcased with the exact kind of content people come to this channel to see, and that most of the ad has no pitch dialogue makes lightning in a bottle. Hopefully other companies see this and start asking them to make similar ad content, I might stop skipping them as often as I do (and I skip theirs less than others because I appreciate the effort they put into the skits, plus the time bar).
@@matthewmudgett7413 I can respect that. I just don’t like how you can be enjoying a video and then there’s an ad for a product that most of us already have or will never use.
Justin really adds to donut. It’s funny to see him slowly come out of his shell from the beginning.
Justin's nonstop smile while driving is exactly how I'd know I'd feel in that beast
Happy to see Justin coming out of his shell! He usually seems like a third wheel in other people’s vids, but this feels like he really wanted to be there
One of the best looking cars ever. Those headlights are phenomenal. Its such a shame that style died out, Id love for it to come back.
100%. So classic, but aggressive, and cool as it gets. The latest WRXs are so ugly in comparison. The bug eye was “love it or hate it”. The 03-05 was much more loved. Then they slowly got worse over time.
The UK only P1 model is still my favourite
22b styling was done by uk prodrive Peter Stevens
I’m not even a huge subaru fan, but that car definitely hits a sweet spot. Glad you guys had a chance to drive it
As a former Subaru owner, one of the most iconic things about Subarus is how their power door locks quit working.
Props to the production crew. I didn’t even realize I was watching an ad for that camera. They could’ve just threw in a sit down shout out to the company that we all would skipped.

Great editing. What a nice change of pace
I’ll probably never get to own one but it’s nice to know that I’ve got a few 22B parts on my RS (which I’ve owned since I bought it new off the lot in 2000). The rear wing, door sills, titanium fender badges, hood vents, and STI option Sport bumper which emulates the 22B/WRC bumper but for normal fenders. All of which were optional parts offered in Japan.
The example in this video doesn’t have its original bumper either looks to be L’aunsport or Avis S6 replica. Not sure why the intake manifold is blue and the hood scoop is from the S201 (also an STI optional part) and the S201 is even more rare at just 300 units produced. My friend owns what I believe is the only S201 in the US and it’s located in Lancaster,CA.
Just thought I would fill in some blanks about the 22B. The paint code used is 74F and was called sonic blue as opposed to rally blue in North America under the same paint code. Though sharing the same paint code often these cars when sitting side by side, some slight differences can be noticed. The engine block is a bored out EJ20G from the version 1-2 WRX but the turbo is a VF24 from the version 4. The hood is aluminum and the original windshield glass is thinner to save weight which is the same on the Type R and RA. The steering wheel is made by Nardi and was found on version 1-3 WRXs and a few early version 4s. The 22B was made to commemorate 40 years of Subaru while the Type RA V-Limited models (numbered run of 555) were made to commemorate the third consecutive manufacturers win. These cars share some features with the 22B but come with the roof vent, V-Limited badging, and version 4 STi RA powertrain. It also seems as though some of the parts commonly found on the 22B may have been available as options at the dealer such as the hood vents.
Sources: Have owned a couple 98 Type RA V-Limiteds and have done a lot of reading on the Type-RA website. & Smart people who have corrected me on some points in the comments below. ;)
Got a type R, 22b is 5 Speed with twin plate clutch by ap.
The nardi is actually a version 3/4, version 1/2 was the round one.
the boxer engine of that era all fail
Finally some real info. Donut always skimping out with their Subaru content
@@theory Sorry I misremembered... The Nardi came on version 1-3 then for version 4 and on Subaru switched to Momo. This was also the same time that they switched to the updated dash style as seen in this 22B. The version 4 Momo has slightly rounder edges while version 5 and on have slightly squared edges at 9 and 3 where your thumbs go. Only know this tidbit because I bought a version 5 wheel as a spare thinking it was the same but turned out to be slightly different.
I love that the owner has done some mods (not much) but some. Very respectable. They actually drive it.
@@AlexanderChristopher-qg4klJESUS is king
@AlexanderChristopher-qg4klgross🤢🤮
I wouldn't even pay 15k for that car. Just because something it's said be worth an amount. Doesn't mean it'll be an easy sale
I'm kinda mixed on that, I'm totally fine with modding your car but I also kinda feel like buying a car that there's less then 450 of, you should try to keep it stock
@@charpool169 especially those wheels 🤮🤮, the original wheels are the best!

I won't be stepping foot in a Zumiez any time in my future, but I'm stoked for you guys. So cool to see the blow up. I've made multiple acquaintances with people who I've seen wearing Donut merch in my town. Keep doing the thang fellas.
And I guarantee you all those people wearing those shirts don’t know how to change a spark plug
@@BikingVikingHH daaamn call em out 💀😂
@@BikingVikingHH that was most subaru drivers
@@BikingVikingHHas long as they're willing to learn, who cares right?
@@BikingVikingHHChanging spark plugs is quite difficult on some vehicles. Tranverse mounted V6’s can be quite hard to get the back row against the firewall. I take our SUV to the mechanic for this, also when the power steering line failed. Wasn’t interested in the frustration and didn’t have time. I do everything else though. Look for me wearing a Donut shirt.
I remember driving the 22B in the GT series of video games. It was epic then. The speed at which it moved thanks to the short gearing. The way it turned compared to a standard STI was shocking. Hearing you all talk about the rack being different makes sense.
I know Subaru has done plenty of special models. But this model will be the most sought after for several years. Maybe it'll be the most sought after Subaru ever produced.
I have a funny story about the 22B. I was at V 4&Rotary Auckland NZ and there was one in the show area. But after standing around the car and admiring it for ten minutes, I noticed it was going entirely, completely unnoticed. Nobody even knew it was special, didn't see a single person look at it twice. Fascinating that this car, at least in 2011 at that show, completely flew under the radar.
Not saying the 22b isn't special, but it's interesting that it can fly under the radar as "another subie" like that. Perhaps, as this was in 2011 when boxer imprezas and legacy's were at their cheapest and most abundant and perhaps apathy toward subarus due to exposure of noise polluting loud subies in my countryman was why the subaru 22b went unnoticed that day.
It has never been too insane when the Subaru is so essential with money that makes the car have so much power and engine puts inside the car hood to make it speed up on the road
Pretty cool, I never heard of the 22B but I can see why they trade for such a premium. Iconic car, rare, meaningful, and brilliantly engineered without any input from accounting. Very cool.
Prodrive built it not Subaru
@@benhodkinson6467 22b was built by subaru
I saw one of them being sold like 2 months ago. The owner had a smaller crash and had to rebuilt the engine so it sold for like 20000€. The car itself had around 300000 km but the engine had only 20000. It was sold in like 12 hours.
First time ever to watch a full sponsor add inside of the video. Nice video
I love the excitement that you guys had with my favorite car.
I remember falling in love with this car in Gran Turismo on PlayStation. It was my favorite to race.
Havnt finished but know its gonna be a banger 🔥
This is a rare example of an ad being a good part of the video! well done!
Knowing that Justin's dream car is a 22B makes me love him even more❤
Great video, loved the editing and the effects. 22Bs are awesome but yeah if I had 300k to spend on car stuff I don't think I would get one.
I would literally laugh in a persons face if they told me they spent $300K on a Subaru. I have not and will never understand the draw to these unreliable plastic turds - I've ridden and driven plenty, when they are not on jack-stands in someone's driveway getting the engine or trans replaced for the XX time.
@powertothesheeple5422 I suppose you don't realise the 22b is extremely reliable, the smaller 2.2 litre motor was brilliant and suffered none of the issues the 2.5 faced
@@aiden6843that being said you could probably strap a rocket ship to a Subaru for $300k…. Or build your own 22b for less than $50k and pocket the rest.
@@powertothesheeple5422 you probably like rusty bmws and mercedes lol

its awsome you guys partnered with zumiez for us canadians the dutys hurt to buy stuff from the states online

The 22b is nostalgia with tires, the looks make you think dirt flying, the colors combo sticks in your brain, and the sound is a natural high. It’s just….perfect for the “90s was cool” vibe.
love your videos
22b is dream stuff. Since the early 00s. What an icon.
The video was great! A really great car with history. Driving cars that are legendary (like the clk gtr) would be a cool series.
that’s a crazy price for that car but that car is SICK! ❤
It was always either the WRX, Evo VIII or the R34 that were my mainstays for most racing games, especially in Gran Turismo. The Evo was usually the most affordable, so that got the most work done and was usually modified to be the fastest, and the WRX of course was always the rally option until you unlocked and bought the Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak which then basically blew every car out of the water in most of the game. 😂
You were born in the 80s weren’t you? I know because you just described exactly how I played the exact same game. I bet there’s a lot of us here lol. By the way. Remember how fast that Escudo went? It would glitch out and go insane!
@@MarioGoatse Yeah, '89 but still eighties. The Escudo was like a cheat car once you unlocked it. I remember me and my older brother just pulling all nighters in endurance races on GT2 with the Escudo, and just lapping the last two cars over and over again until we lost count. Good times.
@@navtektv Hahaha same here. I remember the first time I played it and I was tripping on those TVR cars. The graphics looked so great back then, but you look back now and think “I swear they looked much better!”
I still remembered a lot about this 22B STi Impreza from TEST DRIVE 6 & GRAN TURISMO 2.
I had a 97 version 3 sti. The car was great. I've never had a car that handled so well no matter how hard you threw it into a corner
Dang bros, I didn't realize that right before our eyes Donut had gone from such humble beginnings to highly successful brand. It's been a ride, for sure. Congratulations to the Donut team, you guys have earned it. Keep up the good work.
This channel has found it's groove and really fills the void left from OG trio top gear, GT just isn't the same. I hope one day Jeremy, Richard, or James makes it on the channel to recognize the energy this group has making entertaining and informative videos for us gearheads/petrolheads.
A donut and Grand tour cross episode would be incredible
Now that you mentioned it, I think that's why I've started watching Donut so much lately... It's been filling my Top Gear void that GT just didn't quite scratch.
I wish I could have met you guys at the signing event at zumies! Visited from WA and drove a few hours to the event, but it was packed, and I missed my shot. Still love you guys though! I guess I'll have to visit my local zumies to grab some merch.
I actually never knew any of this about the 22b. Thanks for helping me understand
That is also Bunta’s car (okay his is actually GC8F not GC8E/22B, but visually and performance are about the same)
Which is also what Takumi drove after he blew 86’s engine.
