In Australia the 2005 blob eye is the most sought after STi. The last to be manufactured with the 2.0L EJ207 engine with forged pistons and also had DCCD. Can go up to 450HP on stock internals, and run 10s quarter miles. EJ207s are higher revving engines too with 8000rpm redline.

2010 Special Edition had revised suspension, and decontented for lighter weight (4 speaker stereo, manual climate control, no heated seats or sunroof, etc). It got the JDM Spec C wheels and suspension. The slightly cheaper price was offset by dealer mark ups. A limited number were produced. This is the best STi to buy - if you can even find one. (good luck!)

sedan or hatch? i like the sedans, especially (albeit i'm not sure exactly what this 2010 special edition looks like) the 2011-14 face lift. edit: currently half way through the video and my dumbass sees what the SE looks like.

Blobeye Spec C, 22B, Sti Type R, 22B, GC8 Type RA's. The best subies ever made.

A few inaccuracies here, particularly pertaining to the chassis codes. 04 STI was a GD chassis, not a GC. 02-03 wrx, along with the 04-07 wrx and STI are all GD chassis cars.

+Dee Heych what country are you in? I️m willing to bet that’s where the discrepancy is. Here in the states, the first model year of the gd chassis did not start until 2002 with the bug eye model 2.5rs and wrx. 2001 we did not have a wrx in the states, and our 2.5rs Impreza was still the previous chassis.

@deeheych1101

Im speaking about Impreza internationally. I am from the US, my Subarus are USDM. The chassis code for all US WRX and STI's until the end of 2007 was a GD. On the forums, we call them Body code/year, written like this "GD05" = 2005 Impreza, to be specific. WRX/TR/RA/STi are all Trim levels to the Impreza chassis. Trim level is not relevant when discussing the actually chassis codes. I understand you think my confusion is from 2001 when North America was still selling old stock GC's. Subaru could not import any more vehicles until current stock was sold, they made decision to extend GC sales/delay importation or GD's one year. It only happened in North America, whilst the rest of the world enjoyed GD's in 2001. With all that being said, I think its only fair to analyze such events internationally, or atleast the home market for the product, its just more accurate. Ive owned Subarus for 15 years, Ive had them in Super Street/DSport/Import Tuner. WFC#52

And without a doubt the most reliable of them all as wel , and that's a FACT!

I always liked the 04 wrx sti they just looked so sporty to me and they sound amazing with a cherry bomb exhaust.

I remember when the blobeye came out I was all excited as a kid so 15 years later I finally got wrb 05 sti

At 1:30 the 04 is the “GD” chassis, hence “GD” in the VIN for all 02-07 sedans. “GDA” is the wrx and “GDB” is the STi. The wagon is “GG”

I have an 04 with the blob eye look, I personally love the 04’s the most, but I also enjoy the light weight smaller style compared to the heavy bolkey ones like the newer sti

I love my 2020 STI Base w/Recaro pkg! I came from a 2017 WRX Premium both have been WRB! With the 2018 RA STI Subaru's finally helped tweak and upgrade the iconic EJ's pistons, tune and 3rd gear!

GC8 STi wagon body (easy to work on rear suspension) with Mitsubishi yaw control transplanted with Adjustable DCC diff control. 2.5 liter for displacement with dual scroll turbo. Tuned for reliability. Better oil coolers. Full urethane bushing swap and short shifter model. Legacy-Porsche 6 speed transmission install. Tuned with only 1 cat even pipes also ceramic heat coated. I could go on 😁 and yes all this existed in the JDM market in 1999 till 2003. If you could read Japanese you could order from catalog back then!

So much wrong info 1. GC, GF, and GM was the first generation Impreza 1993-2001, GD and GG was the second generation 2000-2007 2. It’s blobeye not peanut eye 3. I’ve been to a lot of car meets and talked with other Subaru owners and not once have I heard anyone say the 04 was the OG 4. It came standard with a radio but as an option you could pay extra for it to be deleted 5. Every USDM STI came with DCCD 6. 4:23 that’s a picture of a WRX engine

You guys had me till you Said the 15+ was best looking... so you actually like the look of the evo more then a subaru as the 15+ is a evo front end and even sitting in one you will find they have the same feel as a evo. But i Will agree the 06/07 is one beautiful car I own a 11 07 04 and i always find myself back in the 04 more then any of them .

My favorite(s) are the HawkEye, StinkEye and RaptorEye.

2006, 2007😍 my dream cars

My fav subie is 22b STi

04 is GD chassis not GC. GD started in 2001 and went to 2007 no matter where youre from. Also that black leather interior youre looking at in the Hawkeye was from a limited. they got rid of the blue and did all leather but that is a rare option to find nowadays so you will mainly find them with the blue interior but they do have minor differences over the 2004 sit.

I searched for and bought an 05 STI back in 2010. I still own it to this day. its my nice day car. yes the stock suspension Isn't as good as the 06 but with seibon helping with the wider front fenders. I think it is the most Aggresive looking STI. I of course upgraded th suspension with coilovers and numerous other suspension items. I have 1 video posted that shows the amazing handling and sound of this machine versus other subaru's and exotic cars. Great video by the way. i like all your content and insight. keep up the good work.

I agree the Hawkeye is the best looking. The Limited is pretty styling. I have a 2008 Outback Sport and I've always liked that style. It's probably the most feminine, probably the flimsiest, but I like the way it looks.

Gotta say I have a bug eye for nearly 5 years now, wouldnt trad it in for anything I love the little thing.

The 2006 was best for suspension but the 2007 was best for tuning because it had a upgraded ECU make it hold more memory for tuning. It made tuning for aftermarket fuel pumps way easier

Owned a MY04 WRB Blobeye STi (or peanut eye as some call it) with silver BBS rims. Sadly sold it but now own a MY05 PSM WRX Wagon. Obviously I'm voting for the Blobeye :)

The phase 1 Scoobies will always be my favourite. Especially the RA & 22B. I had a 380bhp type-RA in 2005. Wish I had the funds for a 22B...🙈😩💰

But it's not for everyone, the ride is hard and rough, in hot weather it looses power due to hot air, had the power steering leaking twice which apparently is a manufacturing defect, and I burnt the clutch once though it was my fault cause I did "few" launches. I have an Invidia Q300, cold air intake and a tune only cause it is my daily.

3:22 I own the limited model and it's awesome. Same 2.0L twin Turbo 300hp platform but with leather and Alcantara seats and interior.

Proud 2007 Subie (hawkeye) wrx sti owner. Aspen pearl white with gold enkei wheels. ❤️ is what makes a subaru a subaru.

The best to me was the Gc8 classic after that they just never looked as hard anymore. Gc8 was light and and fast especially the ones with the Vf22 turbo. That turbo when it hits it hits hard. Up till hawk eye they still look ok from the front only but after that it’s feels like Subaru has fallen and can’t get up. Now it feels like they just look like too many other cars like Hyundai and stuff with a big spoiler

How could you skip gc8's my fav

Blob eye not peanut eye... 05 started the DCCD and dont forget the 05 changed their Hub size and axles. I own one and did research on an 04 vs 05.

Most of the newer 2015+ wrx/sti's that I see are driven by older people that get it because it is a modern looking car with modern upgrades. It has hill assist and the clutch is a feather compared to older models. I have a 04 wrx with 265K miles on it, still running strong. took my dad out for a drive and he ended up buying a 15 wrx. I think it looks like a hybrid camery/evo. It drives nice, rev hang is f*cking terrible, and looks like shit. Going back to "older people" buying that year, my dad is the perfect example. it is a "cheap" way to go fast and I feel like most people that buy these newer ones aren't into/aware of the subi cult and they never wave back, so I just stopped trying.

Jake Feltenberger I agree. I am an old dude right now, and do like a mix of sporty and comfort. Subaru did intentionally make the new models this way because majority of the people like their cars this way also (maximum sales). I know car enthusiasts dont like this, and I understand it sucks. I mean, all other car manufacturers make their car faster each year, and here we have the wrx/sti getting slower every time a new model comes out. But hey, sales is needed for any company to survive. That rev hang though, I do hate it with a passion. However, you will hate me for saying this, but I do appreciate the sporty, yet luxurious feel of the newer models. Chicks love to be in my car
