The best Subaru ever made? Museum Collection Walkthrough

We walk through a collection of Subaru cars from the very first 360 right up to the latest Solterra

[@mcmtv2]

The Brumby will be raffled by The Australia Road Safety Foundation thanks to Subaru Aus, for details on when the raffle starts (soon!) go here: www.subaru.com.au/arsf-brumby

[@glrx7]

Subaru au will spam you daily until the draw🤨

[@juggalotuz04]

I never see my car, the Gen 5 Liberty GT anywhere. I wonder why.

[@stephenbartlett8289]

15 minutes of brilliant TV. No notes, no cuts, no stumbles. Well filmed by a single camera walking backwards. Not many will notice this but it’s real quality broadcasting. You should be doing the Top Gear gig together.

[@smirkingrevenge6]

100% this, was about to comment the exact same thing. The fact you guys did all this in a single take, with such knowledgeable information and delivered so professionally, such kudos

[@thesmith1526]

No Vortex?

[@TheG60528XiJinPing]

Aged well

[@darkknighttradr6534]

Great to see so many past and present "Heroes" from the Subaru lineup. I did notice one Hero was missing, which has a unique shape & style to all other Subaru Impreza. The 2008 Impreza. The 2008/2009 Impreza even had a staring role in the Fast & Furious franchise (Fast 5) movie. Interesting to hear why its it did not make it into the collection?

[@Little_Dog664]

MCM needs to import the American made Subaru Baja. It was a modern version of the Brumby. It didn't sell well though. A lot of people thought they were odd vehicles compared to what else was available. That's why they were disconnected . Seems like they would have been a lot more popular in Australia

[@stevewandel9317]

As a single cab maybe, but not the wussy dual cab the Baja was. Look how well the Holden Crewman sold... Of course, then it would've been up against the local ute offerings available at the time.

[@JDMKEV]

yeah i totally forgot about those but its pretty much looks like an updated more mordern brumby, had em in Canada too...didnt make sense down here because everyone already drives big trucks down here lol smaller trucks are starting to come back though now i've noticed

[@TilmanBaumann]

OMG that's fugly. I love it

[@Little_Dog664]

@@TilmanBaumann The all black turbo Baja doug demuro reviewed is not bad looking

[@hi_tech_reptiles]

The 22B is a classic, but Larry Chen just had an even rarer G8 on his channel - the S201 which only had 300 produced. Super cool version with "every parts from STi's catalogue" lol. The wing is insane, as is the body kit!

[@ianwollstein8974]

Missed a whole era!! My first car was a ‘74 DL1400 4sp… later upgraded engine and gearbox to 1600 5sp. There was a wagon with 4WD and my plan was to covert the sedan to 4WD. Classic Subaru as the floor pan of both cars was identical and although the sedan was FWD all the mounting points for the for 4WD were all there ready to go 🤓 … and no Vortex?

[@stevewandel9317]

These are all Subaru Australia's cars. Dunno why they don't have a Vortex? Embarrassed by it :p

[@ianwollstein8974]

I saw one in Launceston a while back 👍

[@oskar6661]

Not gonna lie, the Subaru Brumby is my favourite restoration/build you guys have done. Just such a perfectly executed and classy (while useful) build.

[@ghomerhust]

i think they hit a new level of their process. details details details. it ended up extremely nice, the color is incredibly classy, and the dark trim sets it off. more modern power and reliability but with the fun goofy character of the late 70s and 80s boxy cars. i agree it's one of the best they've done to date!

[@23usernamez]

Same here, but I’m a bit bias cause my first car was a brumby

[@LevisLBC]

Being a VB owner, I was really hoping for more screen time of it. Hopefully there's an ep on it after Marty's track time with it

[@jooj240]

I miss the legacy content, you guys made me a Subaru Legacy freak

[@zakswindle]

Can confirm blob eye are the best balance of performance and modern amenities.

[@curtis12999]

Did you get the Subaru Justy over there? Tiny 4x4 hatchback?

[@benspencer9523]

No.

[@leroysaint3004]

You two continue to create amazing content. Thank you so much!

[@anthonyohara2132]

No Vortex 😢 Don’t know if either of you guys are the least bit into them but I’d love to see you guys play with a Vortex and see what you can fit in one.

[@23usernamez]

As cool and 80s spec as they look they’re essentially just a luxury model leone

[@scottseverythingchannel5570]

I would have loved to see a clean example of a B4 Twin turbo Liberty/ legacy. But none the less, following Marty's Subaru adventure got me into legacy's and I much prefer them from Impreza chassis in terms of a hidden quality to them.

[@21jimmyo]

I'm one of the 37 viewers going way back when you played video games while talking. I think you must be up to 46 viewers by now.

[@金城CHRIS]

My forester sti is the best practical subaru ever made. Change my mind.

[@suzumr2754]

WRX/STi Wagon/Hatchback

[@LyndenJep]

WRX hatch for the win

[@jackiegarcia7800]

The Blobeye is another good one 😁

[@bmoore8853]

No, MY Subaru forester STi’s are the most practical Subaru’s ever made.

[@motwhom3230]

Liberty/legacy sti cause it makes me feel sexual

[@Jase583]

I brought the 2023 Outback XT Sport. Same engine as the WRX. With some tuning to the engine and modifications to the hood and bady. I think it would run and look bloody awesome.

[@arthurthorpe5445]

Brilliant review even though you missed a few I am a big Impreza fan from the UK (71 years old) I had a Classic STI 2 door, a Bug Eye STI, a Blob Eye WRX and fitted an EJ207 engine and six speed (not DCD) gearbox matching rear diff drive shafts and brakes. I also reversed the inlet manifold fitted a hybrid turbo equal length hedders and custom exhaust, Bilstien suspension. It was my ultimate JDM car.

[@RangerRick24]

I feel as if Ive met my future self.

[@hefzRobb3803]

good hard EJ Love

[@bengepp9314]

And not a hatchback in sight , the last Subi in WRC ('08) or gen 1 Legacy/LibertyRS , both models i own 🤷🏿‍♂️, ahh well 🫤💙

[@NemesisDestiny]

You guys should do an SVX build!!!

[@xyphur]

I second this so hard... Sleeved, turbo, Haltech, 6-speed DCCD, R200, coilovers, big brakes (WRX 4/2-pots are nearly direct bolt-on. Fronts bolt right up when using Tribeca rotors, rears only require a caliper bracket and the use of vented STI gravel rotors). The one thing that really needs to be solved for big power and sustained high RPM on the EG33 is the cooling system, specifically cavitation at the pump due to inlet restriction, and the undersized crossover pipe between the heads. Besides that, the engine is more than capable. Just look at what Andy Forrest has achieved (1200HP). Doooo itttttt!

[@NemesisDestiny]

@@xyphur you must be an SVX guy! Me too (I've owned 4 of them, still have two, both heavily modded)! Cheers!

[@destnations5588]

Love that colour on the brumby, would put it on my Foz if I didn't take it offroad as much as I do

[@MikeJones-bj1cn]

The Brumby you guys built - trend setting! Not sure if you are across the SEMA trends for 2023, the graphics you guys used seem to be coming back in a huge fashion, eveerything had those stripes, in many different colours, but in similar proportions and dimensions.

[@WaveFlightSimulations]

my 2004 Subaru Liberty Sedan aged well in looks over time

[@CatsWRX]

My new VB WRX is arriving any day now. Would love to hear your thoughts, see some content etc in the future. They appear to have a heap of potential and have been over engineered.

[@PsychoStreak]

Nice tour. Sad there's no Bugeye WRX in there, but otherwise a nice stroll down memory lane.

[@andrewodri5409]

Man, some real classics in there! Although I am still watching a black screen waiting for the the Liberty B4 and Forester GT review 😅 Probably not going to happen, but I would *love* to see a Emory Porsche 356 RSR style build of a Subaru 360 with all the touches... If you're looking for a new challenge, would be cool opportunity to see some 3D printed + carbon style bodywork on the channel 😉

[@TheGCJourney]

As a GC8 owner I really enjoyed this! Some very clean examples there! 👌

[@barsaf9989]

Wow you guys are great! 15min and 1 take. Love subaru. Now bring back the STi!!!

[@ThatOddGarage]

I bought my first Subaru, a 96 legacy outback a month or two ago. 132k miles. Engine out and head gaskets done. Beautiful car. Needs AWD service as it torque binds without the fwd fuse in, but works perfectly otherwise. Glad to be part of the family.

[@alistermccallum]

apart from all these problems it works great!

[@ThatOddGarage]

@@alistermccallum hahaha. It is an “issue” but truly, it is a great car. 100% rust free. Clutches going bad in the extension housing and a failed duty c solenoid aren’t a huge issue overall

[@xaviergarner6349]

Surprised the Boxer diesel was not in the lineup, considering it was the first of its kind.

[@Prodriver33]

I’ve owned over a dozen 97-98 outback wagons. EJ25D and 4:11 5spd in a wagon was so fun. Some of them I lifted with spacers and big tyres. Some were ice racers, a couple were rally cars, one was an auto crosser. Most were around $500usd and lasted for years.

[@jorgeantonini201]

Now you need to have Subaru inspect and rate your sti levorg Blow their minds, and have them sponsor the show for the long run

[@reganlittlewood]

I hope you do more restorations like that. Some of those mid late 90's/ early 2000's sedan models bring back memories.

[@AndrewKeogh-d4d]

No RS liberty Turbo 1990-1993?

[@trentadams4679]

The poor old Tribeca never gets a mention

[@Reignin1]

😔 90-92 Liberty RS Sti, didn't a mention 🤷‍♂️

[@deathtoming2201]

the car that really started subarus legacy

[@Reignin1]

Beautiful cars 💯 had me sold before wrx existed.

[@JK061996]

If I drive a BRZ it's partly because of your videos, when I see other Subarus on the road I feel like I'm part of a big family

[@richardgreenwoodjr5263]

Great collection. From what I remember reading in all the magazines, it was the Hawkeye (06-07) that everyone claimed was the ultimate culmination of the STi. Still had all the rawness of the Blob/Peanut Eye, but the perfect gear ratio and transmission to utilize all the power. I had an 03 WRX, 04 STi and now have an 11 WRX - love me some Subies.

[@glenn9k]

Goddamnit. Was really enjoying this, and then came the EV propaganda.

[@juppzmuda9725]

Same. Very sad...

[@sgreatwood]

Not sure whether you guys are using a huge prompter for this, but bloody good work doing this vid in one shot regardless!

[@ToyoTakumi]

I am a little sad that the 08-14 WRX and STI wasn't in the line up other wise great contents bois

[@dzodzy155]

Same was waiting to see my car model but never came :(

[@The_Absolute_Dog]

The 22B has been at the top of my list for decades!

[@terminalpsychosis8022]

Extremely impressive lineup. That took a lot of work. The Brat at the end there is gorgeous... I'd be afraid to breathe on it. So much high tech, so much effort, and still, the absence of MOON BUGGY is very conspicuous. Imagine if the Mighty twins activated a little road rat like that... They'd dominate any track... and it could easily be street legal. Awesome vid, as usual... this one especially.

[@will1721]

Someone needs to get an RS Legacy in there

[@tyronemartystock379]

Those cars are amazing Well Done Moog and Marty 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@Gnik4144]

3:39 one of my favorite Subarus

[@thusmarshal8815]

I love me a 2007-2008 Subaru legacy sedan spec b with the ez30 or an s402 it's just beautiful and then the blobeye . I'm now on my 10th subie all before 2010 they don't make them like they used to

[@stevewandel9317]

My first car was an L series sedan in the same colour green as that. Had a rare factory Sunroof and had it converted to 4wd. You'd be surprised how much stuff from the L series bolts into an MY/Brumby... The body is different, but the mechanicals are just a revision. Currently got a JDM import turbo Leone wagon in the backyard which I'm trying to fix up. Even in the 80s, JDM cars had so much more than what we got.

[@brettz8364]

Why no MY03 aka Bugeye?

[@Kryxtal]

Wow, that one take though

[@tehclam]

So many blown gaskets 🥲

[@racehork7314]

I have a 2003 Blobeye WRX, which I got because it’s my favourite of all of them. Also because similarly priced GC8 Turbos/WRX’s were all rusty lol.

[@patrickh1406]

I've owned 2 N/A first gen (SF) Foresters and one of my good mates sent me an ad for a Forester GT and I've been loving it ever since. The GTs are the first gen foresters but with an EJ205 (turbo). They're a ton of fun to restore with all the Subaru parts which are like lego and they're pretty fun to drive.

[@LukeBaumer]

My first subie was a 99 GT, was a sad day when I sold it

[@BigCgull]

I see the Brumby and still perfer the Mazda Rustler. In terms of conversions, the Rustler literally is a ute version of a Mazda 323 BG GT-R. A Gemini and Civic Killer! But I won't lie, I do like them Legacy series though.

[@scottward8446]

They need to get a subaru justy

[@wayniexagt]

failed .... you jumped from the yellow bomb straight to an impreza...... 1989 legacy RSRA .... thats what put subaru on the map ...the most important car going ... thats what got the attention ..

[@gordyboy01]

No 2006-2007 Hawkeye Subaru WRX/WRX MY06/MY07 Sti in collection😢?. 2006 Subaru WRX Sti was my daily driver for 12 years and 150k miles on the original EJ257 engine which is whe. I sold it 😁 damn I miss the handling, the sounds of that boxer rumble, rasp, when driving 😔

[@PleiadesPower]

In 1984 I bought a new Brat GL 4WD. It was my daily driver for 8 years until I retired it from it's role as my nailer drive when I purchased my 1994 Subaru Legacy AWD Sedan . I still own the '84 Brat and take it to shows and Subaru events. Yes, I'm Subaru through and through...

[@Ололо13]

after forester sg i switched off. What a hell, where is a forester SF??? where is an impreza bugeye, hawkeye, pokemon????????????

Why don’t you guys have drift cars in Japan and do the Matsuri thing like Jimmy’O and Adam lz you guys love Japan and drifting like to see you mix it up with the crew

[@ilyashcheglyuk00]

Subaru brumbys were awesome. Thank you guys so much for making a video with them. Always dreamed of seeing one in person. Sense child hood. Thank you. 😁 22B tops all Subaru’s. No competition 😁

[@Papajin68]

If the SVX was aimed at America, I don't know how well it did, because I don't remember it at all and I had my driver's license by the time this car was released... I remember the 300ZX's and the GT3000's, but not the SVX. It doesn't even look familiar whereas the other 2 cars mentioned, I'd recognize at a glance without ever having owned one. They look pretty nice for their time though...

[@boothys_sim_racin]

Jeezus the SVX I thought I was tripping, the front end looked like a 20B Eunos Cosmo

[@KuroRyuu86]

Strange the collection did not have the Leone Wagon or the Vortex xD. Cool though. I owned a Pignose 2006 WRX CS9. Honestly it's not my fav or best car ive ever owned, Yes it was quick and all but as a University student it sent me broke and every 3 months something went wrong with it. Thank god I bought the scammy extended warranty because I would have filed bankruptcy trying to fix that car. I sold it for an Imported Toyota that never gave me problems for 7yrs. Im yet to see a Subaru that will win me over....except for the GC8.

[@pmack1888]

Just picked up a JDM STI 2005 blobeye. Ive been waiting for this day since im 6. Now 25. Cant stop smiling even when im not driving it! Now just need to wait for the summer days for car meets and the donegal rally in ireland. Cant wait.

[@dalmabergo1]

You are so fortunate chaps, here in the UK, most of those scoobies would be piles of rust and dust with all the UK salty winter roads. My 19yo son has been in Oz for the last year - he's just bought a 2009 outback and he loves it. He's in Katoomba. I'm popping over to see him in January. Any recommendations an places to visit or eat round Sydney welcome! Keep it coming Marty and Moog, best thing for eye balls on the tintenet.

[@jonbanfill]

Walking through any scrap yard will do the same task. You will see that they had a failed product since the beginning from leaking head gaskets to shitty craftsmanship. This is the ultimate scenic route to do visit your local scrapyard and walk-through a abomination stack pile of Subaru products that are absolute trash out of the factory, that somebody consumed their life into and thought was a good vehiclestop by your local scrap pile today

[@iforc]

Bug eye, Blob Eye Hawkeye hatch back 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

[@nsmaori]

Owned and driven plenty of subies, a few wrxs including a 270awkw I currently own, some gt legacies and some non turbos. Being a suby man through and through ever since playing wrc on ps2 as a kid and falling in love, the thing i can say about all of them is they are simply fun. From the iconic rumble and cool noises, to the aggressive looks and cosmetic characteristics to the handling and raw driving experience they’re just so fun.

[@hi_tech_reptiles]

For snyone curious, that 8:20 is a 'blobeye,' which is a facelifted 'bugeye,' before the second facelift 'hawkeye' lol all second gen WRXs. Which to me headlights arent eyes anyway so idfk

[@TheCrofttech]

Excellent video. Always love Subarus. No B4 Legacy or the classic McRae ere Liberty?

[@_L7M]

The grey/silver GD WRX is a 2005 Club Spec Evo 8. I used to own one, my favourite Subaru to date. 7:57

[@nathanmccormack6549]

Sorry guys, but no liberty rs turbo in the lineup made it a fail for me. Will never forget my first test drive in 92 and chopped everything on the roads before the Impreza existed. Loved that car, wish I never sold it. Speed humps exist all through our neighbourhood cause of that car 🤭

[@Sayider]

Yay Subaru content, but boo, you skipped the best one, which is 2008 WRX STI hatchback!

[@jacobwhite3997]

So much Subaru stuff...please boys please more lancer Mitsubishi stuff please!! Mitsubishi being Subarus rival so many nice cars please more lancers on both channels

[@RaulFlores-gr5qd]

Not a single GD/GR wrx sti, personally my favorite and best looking sti aside from the GC8 coupe

[@SebaztienHawke-ci5hm]

My brother had a ‘97 Impreza WRX STi Type R in 555 sonic blue mica. VERY COOL.

[@Simcadepro]

Any reason why the bug eye scubby isn't in the collection? the main car that change gymkhana and where the other bugeye STI Wagon. ken block league cars and xgames changer for travis and dave mirror? come on guys cant mess up a legend collection like this missing iconic cars in your pack

[@Everydayprojects365]

Subaru legacy was my first subaru and it was shit and always bogged down trying to launch it so I never bought another plus bad reliability history is crap. Don’t keep any subaru for more than 4 years.

[@MaximusArilius]

The brumby we call the Bratt in canada. That Australian subaru museum is incomplete. I do not see any legacy in that line up and thanks to its use and upbringing in the WRC it bench marked the R&D that led to the current day Impreza line up.

[@HecTechFPV]

My first car was a L series sedan , muffler fell apart then it sounded like a wrx & I was stoked

[@mwboost]

Yes! Finally peanut name comes back! lol. I remember here in Australia, especially rexnet days, we used to call them peanut when they came out, then Facebook Americanized them with the blob eye name lol.

[@connorevans4246]

Just did a 3 week tour of Vietnam on motorbikes, saw two Subarus the whole trip. I’ve never felt safer on a bike. Outback owners are the ultimate mouth breathers.

[@gohan2355]

Suprised the gc8 impreza rs is not here those are awesome. The 24 impreza rs is really fun, and i personally own one i havent driven it to hard yet but i am about to have my first service on it with it almost having 6000 miles and i might start driving it a little bit harder to see what it does. I still want to throw an exhaust on the 24 impreza rs to get a better note from the 2.5L boxer

[@STAG162]

they could get a 22B into the museum, but not a 1980's spec XT? forget the quirky design, it's all about the popups...
