Just don’t flog them and they’ll be fine. I traded in my modded, tuned 2005 with 140K (to get my 2018) and it never gave me any problems outside of routine maintenance.

[@boywhohasl1vedhascometodie469]

Got a 2015 WRX with 93,000 miles and no problems! Except that time when a rat made a nest on the middle of the engine and a shitty oil filter (wasn’t to spec and noticed quickly) it has been a dream! Dunno why many people find Subaru’s shitty🤷🏼‍♂️ I think it’s because of the teenagers who have no idea what they are doing. I on the other hand chose too keep mine stock, as I have another project car I carefully work on.

[@mikebender6268]

Hey Scotty, ive been binging your videos all day, great content! For those sport car enthusiasts like myself and with all your knowledge on reliability, etc im curious what your thoughts and recommendations would be for different price points. I currently own a 2015 MB C63s AMG as my daily in MN but am considering an exchange to two separate vehicles for winter and summer. For the summer sports car in question I would prefer buying something a couple years used to save on the initial depreciation for no more than about $80k. Other criteria include 0-60 in at least low 4s, gorgeous exterior styling (refined and respectable, ie no burly muscle cars like the vett), beautiful exhaust notes, fairly luxurious interior and a back seat for a small child would be a plus. Thanks!

[@TheZaz969]

My review of my 2011 STi: Handles like a dream, incredibly fun to drive daily even if slowly, gas mileage isn't great, but its better than my old wagon, I usually get around 24 highway, 17 city. You can mod these things to hell and back but don't expect to go over 350 crank or so without doing a full engine rebuild. Interior is pretty spartan, but it's comfortable enough. For a sports car, the ride quality is fantastic, with bumps not being too jarring while still having near no body roll. Get this car while you're still young, its the best cheap fun you'll have besides maybe a BRZ

This guy gave me that nostalgic "pimp my ride" vybe, especially while talking with the mechanic. something about the intonation and body language ! really enjoyed watching it

[@nbafan3021]

I love WRX.

[@Shishizurui]

a wrx hatch i see as a unicorn kudos on the music nice to hear something other than rap on a system. while i don't really care for space wasting subs it was tastefully done.

[@Altek1]

The hatch looked very rally to me, that's why I had to go with it. I was worried about the sub taking up too much space but a 10 provides so much sound and with banana clips on the back and simple Velcro, it comes out in seconds and can still be loaded like a hatch. Glad you liked it bud

[@DursTuckle]

I have a cute little 7-inch sub that goes under the passenger seat to save hatch space

[@woohunter1]

I had a ‘16 wrx with the FA20DIT engine mated to a 6 sp mt. Cobb ap, J pipe, cat back, custom tune. The thing was a beast!!! Haven’t heard to many bad things about that engine or trans, just weak clutch and watch out if you go E85.

Honestly i love my WRX if I didint live in the mountains id probably get a civic or corrola.

[@transnd]

The truth is that rally is as awesome as it is expensive and America doesn't do enough of it.

[@Altek1]

Well said, couldn't agree more.

*blows head gaskets in Japanese*

[@robochoa7387]

Still cooler than any Toyota, besides the mr2 and the Supra.

[@bheypuor]

Turbo subarus have stronger head gaskets. They’re more likely to blow the ringlands

[@robochoa7387]

The new wrx is really reliable. The older ones are not that much.

[@jrlgarage]

Nicolas A get the honda it’s more reliable than that Vapemobile

Back in 2014, I was debating whether to get a 2013 with the old 2.5 liter engine, or wait for the new 2014 model with the new 2.0 FA engine. I figured the extra displacement would be nice, as my 2005 WRX, with a 2.0 engine, was weak and had critical turbo lag. I'm SO glad I waited for the new FA engine. It's hella powerful, gives boost at just 2K, and way more reliable than the flaky FJ 2.5 engines. I do miss the rumble, but I'll take power and reliability of the FA engine any day. I recommend staying away from the STi or any other model with the 2.5 engine, and get the stock WRX with the 2.0 instead. Aside from reliability, it's actually way better and more fun to drive than the bigger engine, too.

Miss my 2014 wrx, New Yorker too, gonna get a 2020 sti soon

I own a Legacy but there are lot of douchebags out there too thinking they're Paul Walker. I imagine Mustang owners feel my pain as well.

[@sneakysnake7695]

They end up like Paul Walker as well

[@basithph8958]

Honestly I would go for the STI

[@Altek1]

I regret not going for the STI but hindsight is always 20/20 as they say. Especially after the money I ended up dumping into it.

[@basithph8958]

Altek but it’s still cool the fact that you got a WRX and it’s a hatch which is pretty rare! It’s always good to try something different

[@MrBrokehisbollo]

After 2011 I'm pretty sure they made the body of the WRX the same as the STI. Also, believe it or not this WRX is the faster car stock. Good buy!

[@Taylormane]

At least this can whoop a Sti or at least keep up

[@MrBrokehisbollo]

@@Taylormane A wrx bone stock can beat an STI. It's not as laggy.

[@q8yphotographer]

I own a rare hatchback wrx sti GRF with an automatic transmission.. My head gasket blew at approx. 15,000miles and the car was 100% stock.. It was driven hard in temperatures exceeding 135f (58c) in Kuwait.. 😂 So I can't really blame anyone but myself as it is my first turbo car and the car that got me into cars 😅 now after 5 years of ownership, it is still stock just because I can't find a reputable tuners where I live. 😕

[@GloGangBruceWayne]

Make videos

[@jahnperez5060]

I haven't liked the WRX's since the 22B STi... BUT, I still damn LOVE that boxer engine note... You can tell a WRX a mile away, by just that boxer rhythm and the big fat pistons with not much stroke... Lovely motors.

[@bugman5380]

Looks and sounds amazing! Glad you didn't kill anything in that parking lot.
