BULLSCHIT, TO SLOWNLY car

Ohhhcayyyy children, toodai’s lesson that y’all gonna to learn is how to pronounce the word Subaru correctly. It’s pronounced as “Shoo-barhh-rooooo”, just like “Kang-gurghhh-rooooooo”... hehe 😂

I don't care for that blue

You don't get 2 cars in one you actually get 3 cars in one.

On some of the Porsche 911 AWD models, you can set it to RWD by pulling the e-Brake up a single notch.

Does the option of rear wheel drive and AWD available only on the Launch edition? Or also on the regular Sti model?

I am curious about the MPG. I wonder if that MPG is really that back, or if it's just the EPA is being over zealous again... I had a 2006 STi and I only got 17 MPG city when I was really boosting around town a lot, however I saw 19-21MPG most of the time, when I was driving mostly respectably, and I saw 28-29 MPG on the freeway like clockwork. So has the efficiency actually dropped off since 2006 or is the EPA simply being harsher in their grading?

launch is nice

I think i like the old subarus a bit more cause they seemed to be so much hardcore cars, this one look like a normal family sedan made of plastic which will break in half on a first big bump.. but probably im wrong ;P It looks cool i like it and i hope im wrong about the plastic part and it is a hardcore car made of vibranium where you can drive full speed through every bump on the road and it will no break in half ;]

How good is it on snow? I'm considering buying it as a daily, but i'm not quite sure if it would be a good daily due to the downsides...

Maybe the WRX would be a better daily?

It send 60/40 from memory it doesn't send it all to the back

Golf R Mk7 or Subaru Sti?

Its true, evo drivers are usually fuckwits

Hey Nick, I just watched a Mk 7 Golf R and a WRX STI drag race, and the Golf R was way faster (They are both stock). I found that the STI gets 290 lbs/ft torque at 4000 rpm but the Golf R gets 1800 lbs/ft torque at 1800 rpm. Do you think that's why? And why do Japanese cars always get their peak torque at such high rpm?

The way you say subaru is the way it's supposed to be said, most people don't pernounce it correctly.

Nick, you have been forever ruined by Porsche and BMW M! It was hilarious watching you critique the interior of this Subaru knowing your background as a former Porsche and current M4 owner. Also, did you wash your hands after test driving this car? It's advisable considering the presence of STIs and C. dif.

its so ugly tho. almost like they tried to make it look like shit.

I own an evo x MR, and that also has horrible fuel economy, the engine is inline 4 with variable intake and exhaust valve timing, but the mechanical awd system and no direct fuel injection, hydraulic steering these add to the fun part, at the cost of fuel economy.

Got the 2016 and it's more fun than a human being should be allowed to have. FYI, The interior for me is civilized and was the main reason why I chose it over the German counterparts.
Just love it

Cables from central rear view mirror? What for?

are you planning on reviewing the 2016 WRX? the new engine in there is pretty amazing

All the power will go to the back lol

nissan gtr please

Bro you forgot to mention the boxer engine, this layout produce very little body roll compared to the inline and v6.

Very honest review. Love it! thanks.

i have a stock gc8 my2000 wrx with a very low 30000ks on it i so want to sell it and upgrade to this!

More jdm plox.

Excellent review. The best I've seen of this car. Thank you!!!!!! Subscribed

I almost went for one but i think the 04-07 is a better looking car but there's one of these everywhere I look so I bought a g37 Ipl

Thanks for the great and fair review, had myself a ver5 sti last of the square headlights model. Absolute blast of a car to drive, yer right tho that the ride is all performance oriented, after a 400km ride I was gettin a sore bum lol....but was buzzing outa my mind. You coulda made life simpler for yourself tho, instead of reiterating that they are an enthusiast/performance car and not a mobile lounge suite, you can simply say they are a DRIVERS CAR!!! As for the interior, hey subies have always been referred to as a poor mans Porsche. If you want luxury interior go spend $100,000+. And what performance car buyer cares about fuel economy.....eh?
Hope you enjoyed your trip back home, didn't realise you are a kiwi boy. Lived in Auckland myself for awhile, in Whangarei now.

That MPG meter looks incredibly annoying.

This car sucks ass and I own a GR STI

i love Subaru with dual exhaust

wtf is a sue-barr-roo

review a focus ST next :)

Cool car

Wow such great review. You talk about the aspects that I didn't think of and other reviewers don'y even care to mention like the noise, the car is not for typical user...

Would you review my car? I'm located in New York. Lexus IS 350 Fsport

Good idea to show the dashboard. Put another camera to show the pedals when you driving. Nice review this one. I like the colour of the car. But only 36000 miles warranty?

I like the car but it doesn't seem that fast or maybe I have to be in it to experience how fast it is. 0-60 in under 5 seconds is good for me but it just didn't seem like it is faster then any other car.

Fantastic car! I love Japanese cars.

SUBARAHHHH Rules

this is afcorse, the sahbahrue WRX STI

Hey, can someone reply to me as to whats a good used cheap sports car that doesnt need many modifications, im looking for something from 1995-2005 era, that can be considered a sports car, pref real wheel, that doesnt destroy your budged as I cant afford anything brand new.

Buy one Nick. It should be a great winter car to let the M4 rest.

Is
Cool I'm going to buy it

Yes, of course, because they are going to destroy the car and MODIFY it! Rattle trap with colored mods interior...and looks and sounds like crap!

Loved your review, I liked the many angles inside the car. You did a nice work. You have a new subscriber.
