2001 Subaru Impreza WRX STI SportsWagon (Canada Import) Japan Auction Purchase Review 

A big congratulations to Andrew in Canada for making such an awesome car choice! I taught my teenage daughter to drive stick shift in an 02 WRX wagon. She was able to learn the clutch bite point control in a parking lot by slowly releasing the clutch without giving it any gas until the clutch was fully released. It worked the same way to teach my nephew when he got his first motorcycle, an 03 Yamaha YZF600R. That way you learn things one step at a time. Clutch control first, clutch control with throttle application second, smooth clutch and throttle applications for smooth shifting third.

Fun fact, the hood scoop has a separate vent channel on the drivers side to direct cool air over the turbo and brake booster. So that’s how they have some what solved that issue. I guess it doesn’t work if there’s a lot of stop start traffic.

i like how you shifted through the gears in this one. its nice to see how long the throws are and gauge how worn out it is

those are the brembo brakes branded subaru developed by brembo

Have a '02 wrx hatchback that I bought new. This STI version, WOW . Andrew made a good choice

I am 23 and going to graduate soon. I am considering to get a subie too! Great car for the athletes and the active lifestyle oriented .

I'll take it.

I had no idea this car existed lol. Been a Subaru head for 30yrs and owned 3Gg wagons and still never seen this. Those seats..that front end... I want it all haha Good luck Mr. Owner...Hope to see more on the car someday

I just saw one of this, white wrx and i'm in love :

One of my dream cars

Really nice car and excellent kilometers. Very clean. Pretty damn good 1st manual car.

I have a 03 wrx wagon and i luv it soo much. i painted it enferno orange

Always a fan of them subies

I remember this entering North America, as a 2002 model.

Absolutely beautiful machine

I own one of them, same year, some slight differences but very rare, I know of 3 now

What happened to the white FD you uploaded this weekend? I was hoping you'd upload a video of my 2002 Bathurst ;) Thanks :)

Happy Andrew. Glad for him. When I was 20, I could only drive my father's Leone (AP5) and then Prairie (PNM11). :-D I've managed to put my bike with front wheel taken off onto my Legacy's rear seat. But after installing "leather" door panels (from RS3.0 Legacy) & buying the L200 (Strada) truck I aint doing this anymore. :-D For me it is also very strange that Subaru put turbo on the right side. BUT, it is great for LHD cars. I can talk a lot not only about Subaru. ^_^ Some STIs are gravel/rally versions with WRX 4-2 POT brakes to be able to wear 16-inch wheels. Brembo can fit wheels not less than 17-inch. For window: retract it fully by one attempt holdint the button and then lift it fully by pulling the button. This is it - the window is healthy now. The calibration of auto-mode has a mistake and such a strange things occur. Mirrors' addon is great. Gonna install such on my cars. But too lazy. :-D Sedans gotta have less room for head in the back...

The final impreza sti wagon evermade

Love at first sight !

I drive an Impreza station wagon too. 1st gen 90 hp 1997 Its my fist car too and of course its manual because I live in europe lol

You really have to admire Japanese how clean they keep their cars are, and the little things you only find on JDM cars, like lower the side mirrors angles when in reverse. I mean even the current Subaru models don't have that feature.

just bought sti v7 seat like those for my gc8 btw Derek which impreza you prefer between 1st gen impreza or 2th gen ?

Good buy mate

These must be rare now I have a 02 wrx i didn’t know they even made a Sti version of these Im from ny can they import these here?

7:35 love love love nice sound 😍😍😍😍😍

Should I get 2001 Subaru Impreza 1.5L?

omg I have a 03 wrx wagon and this sti version looks like it but just has better build quality all over. I shouldn't be this jealous lol. I need to make my car nicer

When was this filmed? It's not snowing in this video.

Beautiful

Does he even vape?

How much do you guys charge to get a decent chaser to the uk?

Sick ass car

what is that body kit called?

Gorgeous! I used to have a green Impreza 2.5TS wagon here in Nova Scotia of the same vintage...loved that car, but the salty roads killed it. It was my first car and I miss it. How hard and expensive is it to find non-STi Sportswagons there? :)

Full tank of gas fresh from the auctions...that's a first!

This car is sleeper and I like Subaru cars.

im a subie owner and i hate to say it... bbut i hope he doesnt break it.... awd+first manual.... good luck!

Can I get the rear seats sti blue wagon seat code

Is it really called an import whem the cars are made in japan. Shouldnt it be for export?

hello,,am in kenya Africa. how can i buy this and have it shipped ?

I see what you hide there.. Takumi would not like that Trueno is hidden :x

Andrew needs to get a crappy manual car to learn on before he starts with this. i feel bad for that clutch and transmission if he plans to learn on this.. but good buy!

I wish you could import these to the us.

God I want it.

if you didn't know, there were only 400 of these cars produced.

Brother had a WRX version station wagon. Its engine blew up. STI engines are more stout but still not reliable.

Nice :)

Too bad the sti wagon never came with brembos or dccd

Hello , Ho is the owner of this car?

that 86

STI wagons make me hot and bothered

Very nice car. The owner must be very proud :)

Dream

DONT TOUCH MY TURBO!!!

subaru impossibru

I'm a bit early

Fuckin Trump wish he would roll back the 25 year import block to 15 years , it would just take a simple executive order geez.

Ew the spoiler placement🤮
