2021 Subaru WRX STI - End of an Era

As the owner of three of the previous generations of STI’s, we were really looking forward to driving this 2021 WRX STI, and it didn’t disappoint. These cars have so much personality, starting with their distinct 2.5 litre Dual Overhead Cam 16-valve 4-cylinder boxer engines.
These cars feels a bit like a tool watches. Dive watches are meant for diving, this car is meant for driving. Both do a great job at what they’re designed to do.
There are pluses and minuses to the STI, but if you’re looking for lots of usable, practical, relatively affordable, entertaining, enthusiast, all-season, all-wheel drive performance, the STI should definitely be on your shopping list.

[@SonikJesus]

I got a magnetite gray in October! So glad I was able to get a new EJ.

[@Phobia916]

Nice! I am growing my loving my 2021 STI.

[@troyyescas]

Yuup got a cbs sti back in september

[@mattheweffron4443]

I bought my first STI, in fact, very first Subaru ever in May of 2021. I must confess Michael, your description and video hit it absolutely 100% out of park. Really loving this car! Thank you!

[@Daniel-vr7pl]

You and me both!

[@borowiak777]

I own a 21 sti and i still watch these kind of videos all the time lol

[@francescodenegri2595]

Really want to get my hands on a 2020 or 2021 model with less than 15k miles!

[@liamwhitehouse9428]

I bought my first Subaru STI in 2023, amazing handling, spectacular drifting. I mean it is only 6" long but the Kyosho Mini Z WRX is the best.

[@CooperRich-o3y]

so glad i was able to get one

[@paulmarsdensr1095]

It's a great video. I really hope Subaru doesn't screw up the look or the performance of this new STI. Stay safe brother.

[@dcr1545]

The heart of a WRX/STI is it's sound period. So weather the FA24 has 400hp or not means very little to most fan's. The sound is what drew people to the car in the first place. My opinion.

[@SonikJesus]

DEFINITELY your opinion.

[@dar2977]

Drive the new version first then make a performance opinion whether people will agree with you or not. Regarding the look, this is subjective.

[@dcr1545]

@@dar2977 I don't think you totally understand why many many people fell in love with a STI in the first place. It was the unique sound. If it was about performance than without any doubt there were and are way better options. It's like a Rotary losing it sound. A V8 having a different sound. They would lose what makes them unique.

[@Raevenswood]

This comment didn't age well.

[@muhammadibrahim-hawkins2144]

God bless you sir

[@dcr1545]

I will read the future for all. In 15 year's any car with the EJ205/7 & EJ255/7 will go through the roof in value. That sound will be missed and desired.

[@Moses1973]

I loved my 06 WXR, when you hit the turbo it would take off. The thing was like on rails in the curves. Then I bought a 08 . More comfortable a bit. But I should have drove it harder testing it out. Sucked cornering I'm sure it wouldn't out run my06 and definitely not in the corners. Just my 2 cents on the WRX. Wish I had my old one back.

[@axeya366]

Currently with a 2019 WRX, looking for an upgrade to an STI in a year or 2, if the STI is anything close to the new WRX, i think i will be going to something old instead.

[@dixbeflopin]

The 19-21 sti is imo the best sti’s that will be coming out unless the new one really blows me away, I’m still holding onto my 19 sti’s despite its shortcomings. One thing not mentioned in the video is that the 19+ sti’s all got the type RA’s strengthened internals, doesn’t mean you won’t spin a bearing any sooner but ringland failure is essentially a bump of the past

[@sunnydee7745]

You will not be upset bro. These sti's hold value. Your better off financing a new clean one, put 200k and still sell it for 25k+ easy. Was gonna get an 05 sti, till I realized how much value they hold. So literally pulled out a 2021 sti yesterday. I'm super happy yo

[@dj_oliverwest]

Ive been up all night watching WRX reviews because im about to buy a 2022 WRX.

[@GoSu2KL]

better go 2021 it's gonna be more expensive over time. Way better money spend

I wish I could've got my hands on one them sense they've stopped making the sti the prices have skyrocket

[@tonyr1615]

I bought a 21' a few months before they made the announcement about the cancellation. I really lucked out. Mine is a garage queen & only has 2500 miles on it.

[@borowiak777]

I got a 21 with 20k miles for 39k there out there. Gl !

[@Snidedeluxe247]

About to buy one that I'll be making my daily!

[@RazielMorningstar67]

Same here I'm bout to buy one as my daily driver I'm sooo excited. I'm gonna try to get one with as low of mileage as possible!

[@paulbual3313]

I’m happy with im 2021 Subaru sti with 9k on it

[@tonyr1615]

me too, 2500 miles on my 21'

[@Charlie589]

2006 Subaru Wrx STI was bout 3,200-3,300 pounds. 1999 STI GC8 is around 2,800-2900ish. FYI.

[@felope9942]

0-60 4.5 seconds from everything I read 0-60 was 5.2-5.8. did you time this on your own or did you look it up somewhere. Thanks

[@lucian7182]

It can be 4.5 however this is with you launching the car and nailing all of your shifts perfectly, with perfect ambient conditions so your boost actually hits right. 0-60 for me is probably about 5.2-5.5.

Ummm. Your 06 weighed 3351 lbs sir.. you were looking at the non-STI weights..

MY BAD! Thanks for letting me know. I always thought it was just under 3K pound's.

That means in all these years it’s gained about 100 pounds.

Good video, but there's no way the new STI has even close to 400 horsepower 😂

I agree with you there. The new WRX only got a 3 horsepower bump. I can't imagine what the new STI will get 😳

@@MichaelTaylor-oy7sf I'm really trying to understand the magic of the GD. I'm debating between that or a hatch. Would like a 19+ VA but those are a little out of my budget lol.

[@zhultquist5748]

Which winter tires are the best for the STI?

[@rite2beararms]

Nokian Hakapalitas are number 1 for sure. (I know I butchered name) Blizzaks are a close second.

[@all4bspinnin311]

When subaru no longer put the tachometer in the center of the gauge cluster, you know they were losing their soul.

[@opinion-eater432]

2024 here to let you know the 400hp didn't happen... Matter of fact, in my future they came out with a WRX in the legendary TR trim and it only has 271hp & 256tq a 2013 KIA Optima SXL made 274hp and 260tq... I hear the death cries of yet another rally car coming...

[@AntilleanConfederation]

271 wheel HP 🤡

@@AntilleanConfederation I've got a bridge to sell you.

The new leftover car for 2022 can stay in Japan and no 400hp ever. I’ll wait until they change again hell might be done with subie.
