Funniest bit was him trying to explain that sixth gear is low whilst not knowing much about cars.

[@dw2176]

Did you just say the "intercooler cools the turbo"... Maybe just shut the bonnet and talk about something else.

[@petergeorge9004]

Essentially though, that is the function of the intercooler, he wasn’t wrong

[@dushyantx]

15 year old car which is still able to keep up with the latest ,that says something.

[@kondafitness6600]

Its not made for a drag race buddy, its much more livelier, engaging and fun car to drive

[@scoobystichris790]

I would of given the STI 10 out of 10!! It ticks every box;, fun, fast, good looking, practical, full of kit, sounds great, grippy, seats 5 people, big boot what else do you need???

[@drepop803]

I have a WRX but only owned it for almost 2 months. we'll see a few years from now where I stand with it unless I just get an STI. as for the STI, I hear its not that much different than the WRX just terrible gas mileage and very unreliable engine.

[@nzgSPLIKIT]

More hp.... after a decade of the same??

[@therealiwashwindows]

Starlink is alright? It doesn't work at all in mine. Great review. I'm loving my 18 STI

[@shakirrusli2600]

what about the handling?suspension comfort or hard for daily use?

[@zooks3894]

Sorry mate, this was hard to watch. I came here to get pumped up about a great car and you left me feeling flat.

[@2k17wrxsti5]

Good and beautiful car !

[@MrStlover99]

I noticed the subie and civic type R has similarities. I now like that Honda alot

[@davidx8152]

I thought the STI is much harder than the standard WRX that he disliked? How come he preferred this over the regular WRX? Not quite sure what is going on.

[@MrStlover99]

David X STI is more fun. I owned 2 STI and now have a WRX. New wrx is a beast but sti is like driving a angry train

[@zerogeewhiz]

As I said in the video, you'd think it was harder than the standard but it isn't. The difference is in the springs and dampers - the WRX just has OEM supplier dampers and springs whereas the specialist suspension gear in the STi is just better. Weird, but there you are.

[@Zoksta69]

Intercooler cools the turbo? Lol oh dear....

[@dinosaucers6704]

Carsguide should really just be Richard Berry and Andrew Chesterton.

[@JohnyMcNeal]

What watch is he wearing?

[@zerogeewhiz]

Johnny_MacArthur Zenith El Primero

[@CarlosLopez-kh3ed]

exelsior beautifull cars, men......

[@Kiarax1]

Good review - I actually quite like his style and his down to earth reviews.

[@scoobystichris790]

I have a 2016 WRX STi cheers

[@camdcam]

Goose.

[@scoobystichris790]

I agree, the gas mileage isn't great, my best average was 35mpg , but normally I average around 26mpg. The STI engine is reliable, but it does have weak spots e.g piston rings and head gasket. However that said, good regular maintenance, good fuel and care and there is no reason why it won't last. Even the new WRX DIT engine has weakness e.g rod design, check out MRT performance on the new DIT engine on KZbin.

[@iCutWaffles]

EJ25 is the worst engine they made, EJ257 is even worst. EJ20 is renowned for being their best, which is why STI's have been having a terrible name these past few years. WRX doing it right for once

[@mikem.2688]

He bitched about the car for 5 minutes but then he says he likes it...well sort of ?...I'm confused.

[@jmoney881]

Are you a mad scientist or just cold? I can't tell with all your awkward hand movements. But one thing I can tell is that you're trying to hate the Subaru, but you can't...

[@krispykruzer]

this guy needs to stop doing these review....hated his remarks and his overall tone - big dislike

[@spencerbrown4397]

Charlie Warlie I know, what is he even comparing it to? A Lamborghini?

[@k9-unit-australia275]

You should definitely buy a corola. Then the scoop won’t be so big. Car doesn’t suit someone like you

[@Shepmx88]

This nerd should be reviewing computers

[@preciousmechanical7958]

awesome car mate, unless your employed by a jelous brand

[@hokmanbenjaminliu6405]

This guy knows nothing about sport car

[@imman7140]

First to like,first to comment,feel proud....haha

[@carsguide]

And rightly so... We'll be looking out for your future comments then. Good luck on getting to the next one first.

[@_Ryphon]

How is this the guy that reviews an enthusiast car? Comical, and not in a good way!

[@brandenongkp]

Not convincing

[@winstonzhang6352]

The geeeerbox and the cluuuch don't like u

[@itzheyqal8163]

This is the reason why I hate wrx sti.. It's not paddle shift

[@lahirudesilva5095]

worst car review that I have seen

[@Tribal1974]

Replace the reviewer, worst car review ever

[@23dnab]

This is trash. This is not a spec R... It's a STI

[@carsguide]

Hi Dean, While we are open to other people's opinions on our videos, the vehicle is in fact a WRX STI spec.R. Apart from the title, you may find the upgraded Recaro sports seats to be one giveaway.
