The STI S209 is one of the MOST RARE Subarus ever made, with just 209 being produced for the USA only. Under the hood there have been some updates to the 2.5L flat-4 engine which now produces 341 HP & still mated to a 6-speed transmission. The S209's exterior has many unique and special one-off pieces that provide extra performance. On the inside you will find a custom interior that sets this STI apart from any other. Should I begin my search and track down a 2019 Subaru WRX STI S209 to BUY?
**Please visit www.dreamgivea... for details on how to WIN this particular S209 or see their other GIVEAWAYS currently available.

Dude I have to admit. Watching your videos is what pushed me to move forward with purchasing my 2020 STI. Days leading up to delivery I watched your reviews on the car. More and more I got excited. But nothing could prepare me FOR what this beast looks like in person and how it drives. It’s a whole other animal. (I’m coming from a 2012 WRX) Super glad I went all in to get my dream car! Keep up the reviews man. Cheers

Wow if I had 60 some odd grand laying around I’d buy one of these in a heartbeat! I think the nearly double cost is well worth the subtle tweaks and especially the exclusivity and specialness to own 1 of only 209 cars. And I’ve always loved when you get a special car that’s AWESOME only to car enthusiasts. Like to the average person they think “this is just another basic Subaru. Who cares...” but a petrol head; especially a Subaru fanboy flips tf out and goes “OMFG I can’t believe I’m looking at a fucking S209 in person!!!!” It’s a low key badass car yah know

You can tell, Joe’s entire time changes when he’s talking about a car that he’s seriously thinking about owning. It’s beautiful stuff. My take, Subaru special editions don’t feel special enough anymore to be worth their price increases, the value just isn’t there as a daily driver kinda guy. Subaru knows that their competition fade in and out with the seasons in the niche Performance Family Sedan market so you can see on many dealerships, WRX STi’s with ridiculous markups that are just unjustified. They know that only a special kind of buyer or sucker will look for this special kinda car and do anything to get you to pay more. How a used older Subaru costs more than the MSRP of a new one is mind boggling, that’s a brand wide zonk. However, you get yourself a fair price and you find an honest dealership, you may have yourself a winner Joe.

For a Subaru is high priced but Subaru is losing money on every one it sells. It cost tremendous amount of money to certify the car for the USA through the NHTSA since is considered from STI as another manufacturer. The car is enough different in front and other structure needs to pass it's own crash and safety testing. This is halo car to draw us all into the dealer but to sell us other cars. After all 209 cars and so many who would want one. Subaru should be commended doing this in any case. Thanks for sharing Joe!!

It's a gamble... financially. The next gen could be so much better that these are forgotten about and lose their value... OR, it won't and this is coveted as the must have STI and retains it's value. OR, you can get one and enjoy the heck out of it and not care about anything else. The price for exclusivity is steep with this one though.

Crazy beautiful car in person. Had to wipe off the drool when I left. 64k sticker and that’s what they wanted for it. Was I wanting to trade up? Ya, a bit I must say. Did I? No. Anyway crazy nice in person. Jealous of who gets one. Worth 64k...... still a collectors car imho. But yes worth it.

MSRP is 65k with dealership markups to 70k. I'd rather just buy a brand new sti to put away and a brand new wrx to daily. I cannot justify shelling out that much for an sti. i mean it still has a slower time on the nurburgring than a simple CTR

STi holds residual value 10k$ over wrx consistently since 05 which is the price margin @ nuevo!...use your common sense. Drive it hard in the power band and youll never have ring failure caused from lugging under 2.5rrmp +boost. These are heritage rally cars and are designed to be driven accordingly

@@ChupaLeche I couldn't care less about resale value. I don't build racecars with resale in mind. I'm more or less worried about the known issues with the EJ motors. So far I haven't heard anything other than weaker rods in the FA motors when making over 500wheel. The Ringglands appears to be fail from high heat and lean motor...not sure where you were going with the "use common sense" part of your comment. I don't know a great deal about these motor as all my race cars are domestic motors. Hence the reason I was asking Joe about what he's heard from all the guys he's been dealing with. Thanks for your responce. I'll take as a grain of salt.

@@jamnremoval869 clearly youre stuck on my first sentence... See past the narrow field of vision. You said subaru not race car. The point was the STi comes with 10k(new, respectively) in upgraded parts. This is wut i meant by common sense. But ill hold your hand an elaborate since theres no other tools for you to research a car that hasnt changed dna in 15years...upgraded clutch and flywheel; larger vented rotors; brembo caliper(6potF, 2potR); hd 6spd MT w/ revised spec RA 3rd gearing. LSD and center electronic variable diff; larger i/c and turbo; schmancier interior. And likely the most important consideration is that the FA engine(in wrx) was designed to reduce production cost and comply to epa standards present and future(but as an event of the redesign it also sits lower in the bay which nets a lower center of gravity)...while the ej motor had other motives

I feel like Subaru’s purpose as to why they built this version, is because they needed their Subaru fanboys to stay with their brand. They know their EJ engine is old technology. They know the STI doesn’t really stand out anymore. So they made this “special version” to gain interest, when the reality is is that it’s still not that much power despite all the engine upgrades, and that anyone can make their non-special version STI just as fast and capable as this one with some slight modifications. What Subaru is doing here is beyond funny, especially when a C8 Vette is in store for just a little bit more money.
