I threw 20mm spacers on the stock 18’s, vortex generator and the black performance grill. After getting it back from ceramic coat, I think those mods did wonders for the aesthetic. While Plastic might not have been the way to go, I appreciate the contrast and function over painted fenders where most of the abuse kicks up against anyways,

Had an Outback for over 11 years, powered by the EJ25 engine. The only gripe I had with that car was the oil consumption got to be so bad that it fouled the cat. Twice. Enough for me to cut bait with that car, and it was immaculate and extraordinarily maintained over that time.

Excellent point on the lack of manual option. It's this reason why nearly four years ago I bought a clapped out 09' outback with a 5 speed. I'm maybe the the third of fourth owner and I've had just about everything under the hood done to it, head gaskets,timing belt,water pump, drive shafts, viscous coupling and more. I like driving stick and this car has just enough ground clearance and the ability to two my 14 ft. aluminum boat to a tidal boat landing. I use for work to go clamming and I even load it up with firewood. I treat the car like a Tacoma! Unfortunately she does burn oil, about 1 and half quarts every 3k miles between oil changes and that's using conventional oil. Doesn't make a ton of power but it's a fun practical car to drive that can be lightly offroaded and never gets stuck. I hate the fact that it will eventually have to be replaced with something that has a auto transmission. Just pathetic but I guess that's the way society is heading.

There is a nice CVT transmission - I have no problem with the Subaru CVT and the one in the WRX has been further upgraded. With the CVT you also get the full EyeSight safety suite and rear air vents.

One error. The SPT is their new CVT which they're doing everything they can to avoid calling a CVT. Though I have heard good things.. It's still a CVT.

The straight-line performance seems really off for this car. That's about the same numbers I'm putting down in my 2014 Kia Cadenza.

That’s funny, my 2005 4.3L V8 LS430 gets 22 miles per gallon on the street.

So they redesigned the car with a bigger engine and more power yet it is slower than last generation or even my WRX from 2004, they make it unattractive especially with the rear tail lights they stole from previous generation Honda Civic and it is more expensive. Yet when it does not sell they say people just don't want to drive manual transmissions anymore. What a disappointment. Great video as always thanks for the great work.

So it's slower and gets worse has mileage? Why would I want one?

It does look better in person, but that doesn't mean I really like it. Yes, it is a better overall car than the VA (2015-2021) cars, but the looks of this VB car plus other questionable styling and feature set still give me reservations. I might have a '19 base, but I don't think I'm trading it in on a VB car anytime soon. Maybe the GT car will be a medium to bring the Levorg (wagon) to the US.

The time lost in the VB is entirely in 1st gear, 0-20mph-ish, because you can't get boost in first gear anymore to protect the clutch. Older WRX's (before the VA was retuned in...2019?) limited boost in first gear, but would still give you around 10psi. If you look at the instrumented testing C&D did, the 5-60 time beats any other WRX and is closer to the GR Corolla than the power/weight would indicate. No matter how hard I accelerate from a standstill, I've never seen the VB leave vacuum in first gear. Then it will give me almost 13psi in 2nd and 3rd before limiting it to around 10psi in 4th.

That taillight looks like 9th gen 2012-2015 Honda Civic si lol

Love the new front but the back looks like a Honda Civic. The interior looks great but not sure I can get past that rear end.

you can look up the retro motorweek review of the 2002 wrx. this one is slower to 60 and the quartermile, but has a higher trap speed. LOL, this is why i bought a golf r, 20 years and almost zero advancement, the interior isnt even nice to make up for the stagnant performance numbers.

Golf R is another 25% the cost.

@@ralphmcgradyjr.9038 sti has the same interior and the same performance numbers for 18 years. Let alone...the sti doesnt exist anymore.

Am I tripping or those gr86 tails?

I remember the red.

I would buy any John Davis trim vehicle.

Reminds me of a 2012 civic Si from the back

"Awesome BRZ sport coupe" , this is why motorweek is below avg. constantly.

Damn it got slower big time I remember the 2010s used to hit 60 in under 5 secs , shit is going backwards.

Didn't know the "How it's Made" narrator did car reviews too

I got 5.3 with a hard launch after I broke it in (1000 miles). So much smoother than the previous gen throughout the range. I also average 27 in mixed driving. I'm happy with it, and I've had 2 previous gens. It's more grown up as I've grown up.

Wrong. The new WRX does not share the same platform as the impreza. It is now a completely different body altogether.

I love my 2022 Subaru WRX. Very fun.

As a WRX owner, what a major disappointment! 6,000 rpm redline is a joke. A 6.1 sec to 60 mph, that's barely better than a Civic si. With the crappy styling, you would think the boosted 4cyl would be weapons grade. It is frightening that Japanese manufacturers are so behind the Germans' on performance.

They're behind everyone right now. Americans and Koreans are leading the charge on affordable, yet amazing cars. The Europeans are still owning the premium market. Japanese car brands just seem to be shitting the bed lately imo. The new z is cool, but even that apparently has somewhat disappointing performance numbers.

2022 Golf R DSG destroys it but it is a 45k USD loaded. This SUBi is almost 40k loaded.....tough choice

glad i keptt my 15....id bet its quicker from what ive seen....good cars i have 110k on mine nothing has gone wrong...because of that, im keeping mine and traded in my literbike on a road king....the acceleratinn of the 2 is about equal, but my wife will ride in either now....john davis is the best.....

Funny is that with a turbocharger and awd, it's still slower than the BRZ.

Still no wagon WRX / STI. That's got to have an affect on sales.

WRX accounts for less than 5% of their total sales. They aint losing any sleep over it. Therye making these for consumers and legacy.

CVT? Hard pass bro.

Those wheel arches. 😳 Reminds me of a Chevy.

According to Edmunds, the new WRX is still faster 0-60 than the Elantra N, the GTI, and the Civic Si.....hmmmm.

I call bullshit on it being faster than a GTI.

That's because the GTI has always been tested on all season tires, it's FWD.
