Proud owner of a stock 2016 STI and its running strong! The most engaging grocery getter :D
Nice! How many miles do you have now?
16 here too! Love it
I miss my 21…. But it’s okay. I’ll replace it with a 11-13 hatch
I'm am so happy I am the proud owner of a 2020 WRX/ STI and it is the best car I have ever owned.
Only 3 or 4 years old, best not jump to conclusions WITHIN THE FACTORY WARRANTY PERIOD
Front bezels were also changed for 2020-2021. Rear sway bars were also changed from 20mm to 19mm in 2017 or 2018.
I have a 2014 wrx with a 2015 sti steering rack and that jawn nice af. Feels like it should have come with it from factory.
Facelift/Series 2 has slightly different interior trim colouring too, along with thicker door glass+foam filled beam around windshield for lower noise. The front of the car was tweaked for better frontal collision performance. Cluster markings are different too.
2017 STI (Type UK) here in ice silver. Awesome car. I only wish it came with parking sensors!
Lifesaver mate, very informative and earned a subscriber. Thank you!
Owner of a 17 STi Limited, side note my son just visited the STi Gallery in Tokyo last weekend!!!
Great video! 2016 here, love my STi!
enjoyed your vid-nice job. You should have expanded a bit more on the 19-21 years though (type ra block, revised ecu tune, revised intake, & type ra's cat back). The 19-21 years will be sought after in the years to come imho.
Thanks for your comment. The 19+ STI's will be gems forsure
Thank u I've learned a lot from this.
Very informative. Appreciate it !
Thanks!
I have a 2018 STI in the dark gray metallic. An absolute beauty of modern cars. I want a second STI.
When one STI is not enough 😅
baderbuilt and remmysti both busted this myth that the RA short block is nothing special, but did a comparison that the piston skirts are bigger and better support for the wrist pins but still having Ringland failures.
was waiting for the mention of s207 s208 and s209. But still, a good video showcasing the VA generation.
I made a video on the s series STI’s ! I go through them on there
I'm the proud owner of an STI but sadly no Subaru in my garage
Stop having secs with farm animals. And yest fat women are farm animals.
Had a 2019 WRX and exentually traded for my 2021 STI. Not the fastest but def makes me smile every time i drive it
Buddy just a small correction, the rear axle/suspension setup is multi link, not double wishbone. You can actually see all the “links” in that picture in the vid :)
Wow, what a cool video!
just a personal note for the head unit, I loved my 2017 sti's head unit and wish my 2020 had the same. dunno why but I never had a bluetooth issue with the 17, same phone and everything. other then that no other problems
Did the 2020 keep disconnecting? I’m curious why the new one was worse
@carswithsepp Ya it's inconsistent, sometimes it just drops and you have to close Spotify and reopen it to work. The 17 never had this issue. I thought it was my phone but i haven't got a new one yet so i dunno
I’m proud owner of my 2018 sti daily driver love that beast
15-16 the rear view screen was in the little dash monitor. 17+ the screen is the multimedia display
Nice video, another observation is that the interior trim went from a carbon fiber look, to gloss black in the 2018 facelift.
awesome video, thank you! Do you know where that footage at 7:45 in your video came from? I recall a subaru commercial back in 2016ish that was similar but have not been able to find it recently
m.czcams.com/video/qX3HXFxBhfQ/video.html
Here ya go!
4:00 not in Australia it didn't. Still got the same engine as previously. No RA block upgrade for us :(
18-21 sti brakes are mono block front and rear too
I have a 2019 WRX STi, how can I tell if I have a early model or later? I know the door panel will tell me, but how can I tell with the changes from 18-19 years?
2019+, the upgraded pistons is what ultimately remedied the ringland failure that plagued all 2004-2018 sti. (Excluding 2018 type RA since it has the same engine).
Was the red interior (seats, shift knob, seats, etc) option only exclusive to certain countries?
Wish I never sold my 2019 spec R but damn was it slow even after I tuned it, have a 2007 sti now and it feels like an absoloute rocket
Can the blind spot be added onto the sti
Guys which one handles better in asphalt EVO or STI?
Proud owner of wrx 2015 it is a fun car never fail on nothing FA engine
Bilstein shocks were standard on the top trim in Canada for 2021 STi
The STI motor in stock form even the RA is still weak cat pistons. Now the trans is bullet proof for sure. The RA has slightly thicker skirting but for those wanting to make a lot of power go closed deck with forged internals.
2019 up, the synchros are weaing way faster than they should. especially 4th gear.
I thought they stiffened the spring rates and dampers for 2018-2021! Prefer the look of the 18” wheels
I have a 2018 limited STI. It has the upgraded recaros, push button start, etc etc, but I don't have the rain sensing wipers or the lane detection, reverse warning and there's nothing in my side view mirrors. Are you sure this safety tech isn't an upgrade package?
Safety stuff for the limited I found on page 6/12 on this document cdn.dealereprocess.org/cdn/brochures/subaru/2018-wrx.pdf auto wipers found in this press release media.subaru.com/pressrelease/1108/1/subaru-america-announces-pricing-updated-2018-wrx-wrx
@@carswithsepp yeah I see it too. Thanks for sharing this. Huh strange, I don't know why mine doesn't have the safety tech.
Get some real Recaros. I added Recaro sr 7 seats
@@Craiggg12345 Those are cool. I liked the seats in my 04 STI better than the Recaros in the 18 I have now (I think Sepp even mentioned that in this video).
Should I get a 2019 Sti just because it’s the last sti, or should I get the new vb wrx just because it’s the best engine wrx ever get ?
Personally, I would choose the one you would enjoy owning more. I believe the VB WRX has a lot of good performance for the money, and it many ways outclasses the STI, but the VB WRX will be around for awhile with new models coming for the next few years. Whereas the STI is in limited supply now, and good condition ones getting rarer and rarer. They will increase in price in significantly over time and be gems for those who were able to buy one in the next couple years. Just my opinion tho! Either way, both are great options.
Regret not getting one when I had the chance.
I had a 2006 brand new way back in the days lol
Steering responsive headlights
Bought my 2019 STI brand new and won’t sell it. Awesome car and I still have low miles on her!!!
Keep it ! Gonna be a rare find some day
I got a 19 new .. sold it and got a 21 brand new
I LIKE sti a
Boom to kaboom is this cars evolution
I own a 2017 STi, bought it brand new in mid 2017, right before the 2018 model released, should I feel good or bad😂😂😂
My 2021 came with Bilstein suspension
Proud ex-owner of a 2017 STI. after getting walked by a granny in a 2003 v6 camry merging on a freeway. That was my last straw, traded it for an 2018 F80 M3 Comp.
Had a 15 stock… loved the car but had problem after problem….some of it covered under warranty.
-ac went out 3x
-Steering rack failed n leaked 2x
-oil control valve (2x)
All this before 75000
After 75000 at about 90000
Head gasket blew
Clutch master cylinder fail
Last straw was oil leak at about 100000
08 hatch sti heavily modified
-cosmetic issue wheel wells
-electrical short
Half the problems of 15sti;
-Ac failed
-misfires cylinder 1 &3
-Rod fail led to blown head gasket eventually
20’ Sti with rod knock under 34k miles
Under warranty I hope?
I LIKE STI 2o9😂
Type RA engine is not that much better then the regular EJ257, I would say 2018 to 2021 Limited fully loaded are the best ones, all the rest you can add or modify easy, I even seen people that actually like the front from 2015.
For me was really important to have white red odometer 😅
New STI possibly coming..
Yeah and Trump is gonna win 😂
@@Supreme176you won’t be laughing when he wins 😂
@@imoffendedthatyouareoffended I will be. I can't wait for the tears to fall and help was out the swamp.
I mean they said it would . Just not vb chassis. And next is gonna be electrified.. booo
Sadly, the last generation of the STI that looks good. The new VB only looks good on the wagon/Levorg and in dark colours.
Rip
But when your 21 STI gets gapped by an automatic stock Hyundai N though 😬 from dig or roll….
DCT's do be like that
I had a new 2015 launch edition. Not worth the $38k price tag
Not green. Not green.... acid yellow it commorates the 555 subaru
I still call it acid green. 🤟
Same lol
They also look bad on the red cars, ive never wanted to black out calipers.
Well now it’s 💩tin -0 & Aussie police -5 put in the ground
素晴らしいSUBARUの技術を潰したのは………豊田章男です💢💢💢
日本で販売されるWRXSTIは一部を除き、すべてEJ20です。
興味のある男はぜひ日本に来てください。
レンタカーもあります。
Too much sti this and sti that . I’d like to see this same sort of thing but with the wrx . Great video though 😊
The WRX isn't special. Its just a lower trim econobox.
@@BentoRunner neither is the sti , unless you have the s209 or a type ra. 🙄
@@MsAkmc False. While the s209 sand Type RA sure are special. Overall the original STi models are exactly what they were intended to be. Detuned production versions of the race spec car which is required by the FIA/Rally organizations. The STI trans, DCCD, Brembos, and much more are a homage to its big brother rally car. None of which are available on the WRX. STi’s are cars you’ll see modified on track and rally courses. The S209 and RAs models are typically collectors cars and owners are hesitant to actually use them recklessly.
The sti is only a trim level with an ej which is prone to blowing up lol
And for your information the Impreza is the economy car not the wrx!
Horrendous design
