Like many Asian carmakers, Subaru always seems to be holding something back from us. For years, we couldn’t get STIs here in the states. And after finally relenting, Subaru still kept the upgraded S-line of high performance goodies from us. Until now that is. And if that weren’t enough, this S209 is also the most powerful STI ever. So, let’s taste this forbidden fruit, and find out if it was worth the wait.

Dealerships have a hard time selling base STI's. These S209s could sit in the showroom for a very long time. It's an amazing track weapon, but so is a regular STI. I have a 2019 STI limited and I love it but at $40k it wasn't cheap. At least compared to other cars in its price range I feel like I'm driving something unique. At near $65k, it will take a special love and affection for the STI to drive an S209 home from the dealership.
@vossler360
@vossler360 4 жыл бұрын
The value proposition for the S209 over the base STI is that it's a limited run with a number of upgrades from the STI works shop. While there will always be those people who buy the base STI and add $25k in mods, the S209 seems made for the collector who will leave it unmolested.

Ever since the redesign in 2008 or whenever it was the 3rd gen Impreza WRX came out, it hasn’t looked as good in my opinion. It keeps looking longer and skinnier than previous models which had a wider more aggressive look. The car might be wider than older models but with the extended wheelbase it doesn’t look like it.

We don’t get the STI in the UK anymore. Theres a good selection of used examples with low mileage fortunately at Subaru dealers but we dont get the same range or options as they do in America. The new Impreza, XV and Forester are all CVT transmission, we cant get manual anymore. Subaru should give us a choice, and most UK Subaru buyers would prefer manual. Its wrong and I dont know why Subaru have done this here. They all have this isight technology (which only works with CVT) but im not bothered about that. I can use my own eyes to see where im going and whats around me. Too many people are bad drivers these days, they lack observational skills and rely on car tech to protect them. I will have to buy second hand if I want a Subaru with manual transmission.

No it wouldn't. The 22b's only advantage would be its weight compared to the S209. But the 22b would be left behind starting at the first corner as its suspension is leagues behind that of the S209. And the boost response on the 22b is also much slower and requires a higher RPM - and at less power and torque output - than with the S209.
@VeliRajasaar
@VeliRajasaar 4 жыл бұрын
Yep, S209 is way faster than the classics... :D I owned a 2015 STI and now went to 2007 hawkeye. Tracked both quite a bit and the way the '15 put the power down and carried it through corners... The oldie squats quite a bit. Plus one thing that a lot of people forget and marginalise is the dual AVCS of the newer ones. That is the only difference between the two engines, but the difference it made both in fuel consumption and performance is crazy... In 4th, the '07 feels almost like hitting a wall whereas the' 15 ripped through it like it was 3rd gear. Both were/are set up really similarly - exhaust, intake, boost upped a bit, old one is making 295whp and new one was at 305. Not sure I agree with the boost statement though - the 22B runs equal length headers and a twin-scroll turbo. I have never tried one (only seen one around ever), but pretty sure it hits full boost by 3k RPM. My stock single scroll VF48 on the '15 hit 1,3 BAR by 3100 RPM, the ball-bearing VF34 on the' 07 feels pretty much the same.
@WannabeWRX
@WannabeWRX 4 жыл бұрын
@@VeliRajasaar Your 22b information is bad. Twin-scrolls were not used in the GC-series Imprezas. The first STi to use the Twin-scroll is the Version 8 (MY2003) - with the VF37 (standard) and VF36 (Spec C) turbos. The 22b used standard UEL headers and VF23 turbo. Also, the 22b hits boost later than the Version 4 Type R it is based on (and both are boost around 4k RPM). The slightly wider stance and Prodrive suspension make it a very good handler in the twisties, but it would not keep up with the later Subaru models - and in some cases, it would not even be close.

Hoping for a more sophisticated WRX when they transition to the new global platform for, I think, the 2021 model. Current Impreza has a split personality. The non WRX Impreza on the new platform is a much better car overall, but has no upgrades with a more powerful engine, while the WRX and STI are balls to the wall sport models. What Suburu needs to do is make the 2.5 liter from the Forester the base engine, make a sport model with a mildly tuned turbo, and a then the WRX with a more hardcore performance orientation. Hopefully they can switch to a turbo with good low end torque, like Honda and VW.

Actually in real terms the price has fallen, a lot. When the first WRX arrived in the USA in 2001 as a 2002 model year, the base price was $23,800. Adjusting for inflation that's today's equivalent of $34,650. Today a WRX starts at $27,500. For 8 grand less you get a much better car than was offered in 2002.

Oh cry me a river about the price... Does the ever elusive concept of "LIMITED EDITION" evade you all? There will ever be 209 of those. I'd like to point you in the general direction of the legendary 22B, 424 of which were produced. Please go look up their prices now (hint: crappy ones top 60k+). You can go have your cheap muscle, but that's what it will ever be - the Mustangs etc are your fast food sports cars that will depreciate like crazy.
