@@OviWanKeno9i Yea, but it's definitely not all about speed or power. Take an S2k or Miata for example being known as driver enthusiast cars. People also do want long term reliability if they plan on keeping the car for years to come and don't want it to be stuck in shops for weeks at a time (sorry Hyundai). The problem is this "sort of sporty but also very practical" sports car just isn't what the main STI/WRX fan base was. They (I included) want the clean, tuned look, with the classic wing and interior that isn't so clanky. An exhaust that pops/crackles or at least isn't as muted as this. I think the practical class is already dominated which is why this won't sell much at all. The only real redemption with this car is the manual transmission, and AWD if you really need it.

Been following you guys for a few years now and am more than pleased with the content. Love the cinematic vusuals and the comedic, canadian banter and presentation. Keep it up, boys! 👏🏼👏🏼

I painted the rear bumper, and it changed everything . Bigger brakes and wider color matched fenders with coils make this car stand out above all those in its price range. It also has more aftermarket support already than any other brand. With just an intake and tune, you're pushing above everything around. Plus, STI swap trans and easy reliable 500hp with new strait con rods and bee hive valve springs. High revs with no worries. It's a sleeper for sure.

A guy in my town got one of the new WRX’s. He paint matched the fender flares,lowered it and put some bronze TE37’s on it. It’s the first one I’ve seen that actually looks good.

Therefore, it’s the only car on this JDM list that has never stopped production and can still offer a manual turbocharged experience all for under $35,000 and while being brand new. Say what you will about the power plant and whatnot, I’ve driven a few VBs. They’re definitely more put together and “boring”. EJs WRXs and STis are still king but saying “ew wrx poopy blah blah blah” is ignorant.

Don't you say that a bit because now you have, I'm assuming, more money, therefore, more options?

I just can't take these seriously with the black cladding.

The word you’re looking for in German is "die eierlegende Wollmilchsau", that would be an egg laying sow that gives milk and has wool! 😃

On your track, I would attribute the time improvement to the brake upgrade. My 23 WRX stock pads turn to wooden boards over 70mph... The stock -.5 degree front camber is also painful.

I really wish subaru didn't make the ugliest cars on the market

9 seconds ago is crazy

The 2024 WRX rivals the Pontiac Aztec for the World's Ugliest Car award.

that STI you showed for a second looked so good.

I am begging you to tell Subaru execs directly to massively improve their infotainment, add hybrids, add a bit more power to their vehicles, to fire their designers and hire new better ones, and lastly to ditch the cvts or at least use Toyota e-cvts

Where does the WRX STI sit on leader boards?

got to do a Silvia review sometime. i love my s14 will definitely make y'all smile

I really wish if Subaru bring back STI on the new Subaru Impreza

james is a riot

How does this thing redline at 6k? Is this a diesel? Or a 1985 Japanese mini-truck with basic fuel injection?

This video just validates my recent decision to buy a used Focus RS

Anyone remember when the name WRX/STI actually meant something ?

McRae, Foust, Block, those guys carried the legacy of the WRX to where it was, and then Bean Counter Nerds in Subaru R&D took over. That, Or.... There is a Background deal between Subaru and Toyota, in Keeping the GR Corolla a Hatchback. Subaru is completely capable of Making a Small truck, Yet We all know it would be similar to the Tacoma. And we don't ever hear about Subaru making plans for such an offering. Things like that make me wonder

​@@ComedyTVWebit's not about sound or looks, it's sad that new WRX handles even worse than old ones and why it placed last place on this track test and TR placed near last. VB WRX uses open front diff and open rear diff with brakepad torque vectoring straight from the Forester SUV. It's why VB owners only talk about making power from FA24 to go fast in straight line drag racing. Old models handled better because STI came with front LSD, center DCCD diff, and rear LSD.

Subaru once made (Impreza) WRX hatchback and it didn't go well... :D

Finally some positivity for the WRX. Subaru has let me down for years coasting on what made the car great in the mid 2000’s. I hope that Subaru keeps trending in this direction. People like good performance cars and there’s no reason why they shouldn’t continue making them.

Congrats on 3 million subs. I think I was here when you had less than 50,000 subs.

EWWW GROSSS (lmao didn’t expect Subaru content today, I USE TOO get hype for shit like this)

Isnt the Elantra N the better option over this? Faster, cheaper, sounds better, more tech and fun..

We would all appreciate the BTS footage....We'd like to know how many engines you had to replace to drive the course.

Thank goodness I got my 2020 STI in 2020 and didn’t wait for the new gen.

I'm thinking about buying me a used or Certified Pre-Owned 2020 WRX STI. Personally, I don't care for AWD because I live in Florida and down here it is not necessary or needed, but I need to get out of my V8 manual sedan for something a bit more efficient and going to be cheaper on gas even if it means I still have to use 93 octane, but won't burn gas as fast as a V8 engine's full tank of fuel will.

The new WRX is better to drive both as a daily and on the track compared to the VA STi. Did you not watch the video?

The hot-hatch market has always been a great money maker for car brands. Families love them, enthusiasts love them even more. And it boggles the mind that Subaru walked away from it.

When they switched from the 5 speed and ruined the 4.7 0-60 AND dropped the hatchback they were dead to me.

@ChrisPBacon9

In the real world (in a performance setting) you don't just stop accelerating when you hit 60, so the 5 speed being faster than the 6 speed is misleading because they just don't have to shift to another gear for 0-60 runs. You'd expect an enthusiast to know that
