2017 Subaru WRX STI Review

[@vikenshirinian8857]

I am 57 and got my first Sti this Jan so had it for about a year. It's an absolute joy to drive even more fun than my Z06 or my previous AMG 55. those of you complaining about the "same old engine" don't know jack

[@wer170]

A true car enthusiast! Props to you sir!

[@rjohnson8018]

the engine works why change it? i love this engine

[@chrisemata18]

You still have this car after 7 years?

[@scottmason2245]

I'm 53 and I'm just about to buy an STI. There's so much negative online about the engines not lasting. I keep seeing these videos and it's pushing me closer to buying it.

[@bosse641]

"It's does not look beautiful". .....? .....that is your opinion. ...I think it looks mighty fine.

[@hi13ray]

mitsu needs to bring the evo back to life.

[@thatmatty231guy]

I owned the 2014 one just when it came out, top spec and it was a bloody cool car but it's motor is a little behind now, yes, but still great fun and an awesome drivetrain... Best handling car i've driven.

[@amateurtorque6709]

Amazing that maximum torque is at such low revs. Well done Subaru.

[@kirbyswarp]

what brand of vape does it come with?

[@Reggaetonaldo]

kirbyswarp Not sure but it is cherry flavored ;)

[@senorbautista6143]

kirbyswarp and color of plaid shirt!

[@kirbyswarp]

Matt Coffey Ironically I am the complete opposite of what you described.

[@GammaAirsoft_Gaming]

Matt Coffey lol I drive a Saab, I'm a total skater kid who works in the trades. Saabs are pretty fast too. It's not a WRX, but I sure do smoke corollas who try to get up next to me.

[@dion24B]

kirbyswarp The flavor that makes you straight as fuck because you bough a legendary car.

[@KoncealedCinema]

I can't take anything your saying seriously after you said "There's virtually no turbo lag". You're kidding right?

[@UltimaRSfan]

Koncealed 😂yeah and also the peak torque comes in at 2000rpm. 😂

[@aconfusedazn]

Koncealed seriously. I laughed. I have a '16 STi and it doesn't start boosting til nearly 3k... and there's very little torque until then lol

[@gawengs]

lul no turbo lag 😂

[@daniellll6470]

Koncealed this shit bothered me too

[@Bebopin-69]

If you are reving 4500rpm before you hit it, there is no turbo lag ;-)

[@piero914]

The STI needs a REAL update.

[@skyboy123454321]

damn right. the wrx have improved so much, the sti gotta keep up

[@DiwaGalvez]

Can't believe that the lower-end WRX (non-STI) gets a newer engine and more refined powertrain (I've test-driven both). I hope that this'll benefit from Subaru's new platform, interior and newer engine soon. It basically has that market for itself now that the Evo is gone, and the Civic Type R hasn't arrived stateside yet.

[@ethanandrade9115]

what the fuck!?? this car looks fucking bad ass!! why would you say it doesn't!?!

[@bloodysinner9456]

Those MPG numbers are horrible.

[@oldtwinsna8347]

Old engine so no surprise there. Inefficient in power and gas mileage. Competitive days are long gone.

[@GianniEndo]

katy donawether Subaru fanboy detected

[@samuelbaidoo2344]

I love how you said you are having fun

[@Tj_McQueen]

Peak torque is NOT available at 2000. It might help to know the stats before doing a review.

[@Acc0rd79]

Was going to buy one of these but the wife said they were super ugly so I decided to put my 370z up for sale and use it as a down payment on a used GTR! Good wife:)

[@joshakaoger69]

every time Subaru makes a new car im impressed... best looks yet, but no baja 😢 perfect time to bring it back all these smaller mini trucks etc out

[@cameronschweder8698]

Too bad Subaru killed the WRX/STI hatch. Save yourself some money and buy a Mazdaspeed 6. Slick 6 speed manual, award winning engine, strong AWD drivetrain, stealthy sleeper looks, more refined suspension tuneing and a higher quality interior. A car that is 10 years old might not have all the tech gadgets, but is a compelling choice in this category of affordable sport sedan.

[@Cookiemonster000]

absolutely no turbo lag? are u sure my dear?

[@Ghettofireman80]

When I had my 03 evo it made me feel that way she said but I traded it and bought a 14 focus st and hated it and traded for a 14 evo and it definitely wasn’t the same but when I traded that in a bought a 17 limited sti I had the same feeling I did when I had the evo 8

[@Kuya_Ryan_Kaliwaters]

No Push to start yet?

[@samuelgoldstein6055]

Available on higher-end models

[@InvestBetter.]

Deleting that spoiler would make this a sleeper car and improve the looks dramatically. That spoiler is only helpful if you are doing triple-digit speeds

[@Arsing116]

Nissan TitanWarrior I think they added a spoiler delete option for 16MY.

[@505enthusiast4]

Be easy on her. Yes she said no turbo lag lol but she did say how much fun the sti is. I'm making it my number one goal to make this my next family car...hold on tight kiddos! Yes the focus. Rs is prolly better, but not with dealers adding there markups

[@ChristopherWalkenActor]

Another boring review of a performance car. Does autoguide tell its reviewers they can't go over 30 mph ? At least show an acceleration run onto a freeway or something. If Craig wasn't still on this channel I would have unsubscribed already.

[@MattJohnson-g5i]

I would honestly love to have that car I've always loved Subarus

[@JulezWinnfield]

Trust me, police officers won't be running STI license plates more than any other car. Inane comment.....

[@Hambini]

Zero turbo lag. what planet is she on.

[@blackopsfreak9]

looks like this was filmed in the downsview dells area

[@DevPack]

I would take a Focus RS over this, but still a fun car.

[@505enthusiast4]

DevPack focus rs definetly better but a lot more $ especially with dealer mark ups

[@asr1143]

the interior of the RS is really bad, i prefer the previous version to be honest.

[@jbzone100]

I just got to hustle 1500 more and it’s mine wish me luck my guys

[@jbzone100]

Fucking got it!!! First Subaru now to learn to drive manual 😂😂😂

[@tonyzheng1247]

there is one thing....old engine means more ways to mod this car in the market. switching to a new engine needs time to get more modification kits. but for me, i will not do any mod, so please have a new engine.

[@MrSnuffinum]

Asian female driving a subaru...everybody run

[@Hyp3rBee]

MrSnuffinum white guy in a Mustang...RUN!...oh wait you're dead.

[@MASincorporated]

beezy LOL

[@dion24B]

beezy LMFAO YOU KILLED HIM

[@timothybracken1728]

Asian driver no survivor

[@thecinematicrat9600]

How much turn signal I need to cross 8 lane? None? I turn now! GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY ELSE!

[@samstoned3505]

The first and second gears ARE supposed to be short!

[@seven203]

Could subaru make a similar partnership with BMW like the partnership with Toyota ?

[@cesarrivarola6409]

Great review!!!!

[@BoRerunn]

I miss the EVO smh

[@GuilleSanchez.answers]

Such a great review! The best test on the STi in long time. Experience is very important = raw feeling! Subaru keep the rumble in the STi.

[@tuanh5319]

I understand your guys concern with the same engine but as long as a car is a gas combustion engine, its all going to be the same so I there's really no reason to be complaining about the engine. Subaru did spent a billion dollars reegineering the platform.

[@Jay-sn7wu]

Nice review~

[@MrGhettorian]

I guess this review was more about the emotional impact this car has and the impression it creates.

[@tayhill6344]

Which is very stereotypical. Im 43 and love my sti and drive it like an old man except on Saturdays lol

[@ooiocha3]

Exhaust holes are very beautiful.

[@cinnamonium_]

Someone please make those taillights longer

[@virenvs905]

nerds all over the world are losing their minds

[@DustinB855]

Idk y everyone is hating on this car. It's an awesome car!!! The update is coming next year but get ready cuz it will not have that boxer rumble anymore it's going to be a lot more advanced but ppl will hate on it cuz it's not like the old ones but if they don't change it like this gen ppl bitch that it's the same make up your minds ppl!!!

[@wcm5150]

I'll bet she thinks wearing a man's Rolex is so cool.

[@whiteandnerdytuba]

The word compact ruins every car it's attached to

[@saminsobhani3390]

A lackluster and lazy review. Very little relevant information was presented here. It lacked information about the brakes and the brake pedal feel. No mention about the suspension setup, the driver seating position and the type and size of the tires(even though the front tires were shown in this clip). This is not just a subaru fanboy car but an enthusiast car. A review on a performance car should have all these information. As a long time autoguide subscriber, I expected better.

[@mertz313]

Same fucking engine for the last decade and same body style since 2015. Fuck Subaru for being lazy.

[@RandyHartono]

Heartagram absolutely right... I'll wait until the new Engine in place

[@amacl10]

Heartagram It's barely going to be 2017. Major re designs only happen every 6 to 7 years or so

[@mustang6035]

Heartagram There will be a Fa20 turbo Japan spec engine promised for the 2018 model. So cheer up.

[@santiagorocha8134]

Heartagram wow..... those 2 years must feel like a lifetime to you! How old are u twelve?

[@jwkpov734]

Heartagram Same Fucking comment since the release. Enjoy the EJ257 while it last. 2020. Global platform STi.

[@deanbrazil4177]

My brother won the lottery 3 weeks ago and this is the first thing he brought. He's picking me up on Monday when he gets home from holiday and taking me for a drive. I cant wait. He's also buying me a new van for work. Hope I don't die first 🤣 I said I want a vw t7. Let's see what happens 🤣🤣

[@doccyber]

The best part of this video is the Hulk Submariner. Good choice in watches.

[@ARB0204]

24 mpg on the highway is so-so for a sport compact.

[@CCPvirus141]

This car is antique right now. I can't believe it's still got the same old engine with 305HP. What a joke.

[@kabloosh699]

What kid looking for trouble can afford this thing on their own?

[@inohaveshirt]

I feel like this is my 16 year old baby sister reviewing this car.

[@cadreamin45]

the new WRX makes its torque at 2k. the STI makes its torque at 4k.

[@mbiz1072]

this girls nostrils are bigger than the exhaust.

[@renesolis2169]

Mike biz 😂😂😂😂💀💀💀

[@nikkei325i]

I came to the comment section just to say this!

[@forterierocks]

I totally get what she means, my daily is an 03 GMC 2500 6.0L and my toy is an 01 LS1 Camaro 6 speed every time I drive the Camaro I drive it like a complete idiot lol but its hard not to when you can light the tires or get sideways with a burp of the throttle!

[@kasio22B]

That curvy road reminds me of Touge, and the dead leaves deserve to be whipped by the driver!

[@TextuRePro]

Outside looks: Nice! Sounds: Really good! Interior looks: eghh ://

[@dushyantx]

I am a doctor and I own one :p

[@SyriusY]

i just finished med school and i want a 4 door car that is not boring. I am really considering getting this. Or an EVO IX. Kia stinger 3.3 AWD is also nice.

[@Bebopin-69]

If you take time to really look into it, there really is few other awd worth having over an STI.

[@TheAnjVids]

We offered 37k cash for a subaru sti, subaru wanted 38k still waiting for their call

[@axetrops]

Don’t say you’ll pay cash

[@LifeISMagix]

I'll take the STI, this sweet lady and my life is complete 😇

[@hoodslide0129]

I didn't know heavy steering was a good thing....

[@ThatCarEnthuZiastBrittany]

What about fan girls like myself?! 😂

[@vincentbianchi3361]

What she said about people stereotyping sti drivers is so true. she makes a lot of good points.

[@HaiSaidon]

Literally everything past 0:20 is the truest shit I’ve ever heard lmao

[@mamduh]

That a Rolex man

[@senduran35]

Will Lin Chinese fake Rolex

[@robinheiz]

Damn.. that rolex sub tho

[@83mauzer]

She described me lol good review

[@Fadic4]

Damn nice Rolex. What kind is that

[@senduran35]

Fadic 4 Chinese fake one

[@panamera53]

Such a turn on when female is into sports cars 😍😍😍😍

[@DripExplains]

Jodi you're the best! So in love right now.

[@zurgboy07]

Too bad It doesn't have any competitor anymore, RIP EVO :(

[@tolgaakyay]

You don't enjoy it without going sideways...

[@LemuelTaylor]

Why does everyone at Autoguide say "abowt" like they're Irish?

[@andrereid79]

It’s called pronunciation and a mixture of them having a accent . Why do you say about ? It’s how you were taught in school. You should look it sometime and don’t ask Stupid questions .

[@MrTimbor]

Good for 10k miles until the engine blows, then SOA blames you...

[@jerryli4996]

i like her rolex more than the review... lets hope its real.

[@jamessho2279]

I went to look up STDs & found this. OMG IS IT CURABLE???

[@DMJV101]

lost me at the key start ...Really? or is this lower trim level? even then its 2017 push start is no longer a luxury item..that should come standard in cars now

[@nicolasprieto6117]

" my civic can beat it "

[@chrisdooley6468]

No power hike for this MY? This has become outdated and Ford and soon Honda will have passed them by with their performance. I loved my 98 RS coupe but Subaru seems to be stuck in pushing this model forward :/

[@AlaskanSnowLeopard]

Outdated in my opinion.

[@phamtastic0]

Phony 116610LV

[@TMM6900]

Sweet

[@magneto8002]

A V-6 Camaro has more hp than this does.

[@xFlared]

Does the car come with this beautiful woman?

[@TheTallMan50]

Admiral Ackbar No, but someone who looks a lot like her probably built it.

[@hendrapribadi3341]

that nose at 2:00 keep distracting me

[@staytrippy11]

Holy shit I Love You a girl that can drive a manual transmission please let me take you out

[@bloodystabba]

Good review asian LADY !

[@sheldonm3535]

Nice Kermit ;)

[@DeliciaTrini]

Finally a female autoguide who drives the car instead of just standing by it and talking! Nice review! It's refreshing to see a woman handling the STi. Don't worry about these stupid, racist, sexist "Asian female" comments. Do your thing grrrrl!

[@Beer_Dad1975]

The WRX STi is a legend, the 2017 WRX STi is an obsolete product that is no longer competitive. Subaru have dropped the ball unfortunately.

[@吳正隆-f8h]

以客為尊，歡迎試嫁。

[@chrisclapp8323]

wow super cool girl doing the review! You got my attention ;)

[@gigi9467]

no numbers? 0 to 60, quarter mile,breaking,roadholding and finally track time maybe? waste kd time with subjective points from a chick. step it up autoguide or i will.have to unsuscribe

[@AKDMB]

You get what you pay for.

[@VortexRamFTW]

Jesus H Medrano who cares about stats

[@gigi9467]

well seems like most poepl thats why motor trend and motor week have more viewers than this guys.. also i mean other than a rant what did we learn?

[@victorvek5227]

The inflection of your voice is annoying! No need for that. Just talk normally!

[@ingineous]

The GC8 was the last real impreza... 555 forever. This behemoth of a car isn't.

[@roydied15]

Kids love WRX's and Evos and GTRs and Skylines and all those Japanese boy racer cars, strictly because they are A, convinced that everything from Japan is faster than anything from America, and B, because they are all AWD cars, which give people who cant fucking drive, a false sense of competency as well as safety. Great and all for casual gamers and kids who like fixing shit when it breaks, but it also takes all the exhilaration out of driving. And no, I'm not some meat head muscle freak, I drive European cars myself, so I'm also an interior snob, and dont think a $40,000 car should feel like a rental. But that's it in a nutshell. Drive a WRX or even an STi and youll realize they arent very fast. Hell I've walked plenty of subarus in my fucking volvo lmao. And if you end up actually wanting to make it fast, you'll end up with a blown motor like every other subaru owner who decides to install an MBC on their car without a proper tune.

[@senduran35]

One of a boring review ! Autoguide

[@bteong0]

Look at the nose.

[@fergieworld1222]

nice watxh

[@fergieworld1222]

watch*

[@sixtycats8652]

Ay gurl you can give me an STI ;D
