In today's video, I drive the first Subaru Impreza WRX STI model sold in the UK - badged appropriately as the "Type UK". This was the first time the STI had been officially sold here, after years of existing only as a grey import.
The car is fabulous, but there's one big problem that not many people are willing to discuss - so let's do that

I'm on my third modded Subaru hatchback - a 2012 STi - with a combined total of well over 400,000 miles on them. They are all rock solid reliable. The first two were WRXs - a bug-eye and a hawkeye. I used Cobb Tuning each time - they don't go nuts in their packages, their Stainless Steel exhaust is expensive but is in the Goldilocks zone for noise. I've upgraded the top-mount intercooler rather than switch to front-mount with super long pipes and a boost threshold of 5,000rpm. The stock turbo makes 400hp, 450ft-lb and the car is still on its original clutch at just short of 130,000 miles. I don't need more than that, and I totally believe that the car would become fragile and break if I tried to go much further anyway. Sensible mods, competently done, not pushing the envelope too far, that's the way to go. I know it's a cliche, but it's the way the car should have driven all along.

This DOESN'T look like Colin McRae impreza but to Richard's Burns Impreza from 01. With that car he won the championship that year. The bugeye was used in WRC from 01 to 02.

@keheaven Год назад

I thought the same while watching, Richard Burns in the shadow of Colin's legacy so much that the shape he won the world championship with getting atributed to Colin. Sure Colin McRae put blue scoobys with gold wheels in the public eye, but credit where its due to Burns and Petter Solberg, they were WRC world champs too!

@happyal27 2 года назад

I think that as they become more and more valuable, you will find more unmodified ones, and those will be the ones that are getting the big money. One thing I've noticed about Impreza ownership, is that other owners are so friendly, you always get a wave from the middle aged man driving it, and the look of slight embarrassment from the lady in the passager seat :)

@maxmeier532 Год назад

I hope they dont increase in value (more than inflation and maintenance stacking up). Not because then normal peopel cant afford them anymore, but because the fun of driving a car in my mind decreases with the sticker price. Is it fun to drive a 2 million bucks Ferrari? You cant park anywhere, every scratch costs you 10 grand. And you become a show off.

@drumpaul1347 Год назад

I stayed away from Imprezas for ages, due to the endless warnings about unreliability and chocolate gearboxes etc. I caved in 10 years ago and bought a 2005 WRX Blob Wagon, 122k miles and standard apart from a Prodrive Performance Pack and a Litchfield Handling Pack. More useful and in many ways more fun than the E39 M5 that I had before it. Ten years later?.........we still daily it. It works hard, doing gardening work (even pulling tree and hedge roots out with a rope), does tip runs, takes my drum kits to gigs, does house moves for friends and family, country lane blasts, family roadtrips,........and on and on. It's our van now really. It's now showing 168k miles, on the original engine, original gearbox, original turbo, original exhaust.....ORIGINAL CLUTCH!! It just won't die! Had it on the rollers at TEG Sport in December, and it showed 267 bhp and around 280 torque. Still worth as much as I paid for it too. I own faster and more valuable cars, but the Subaru is still the favourite car I've ever owned, and I've had about 45 cars.

@schwarzpm Год назад

I've had my 2005 sti ppp for 14 years and still love it. A few small mods, mainly suspension related to help it on trackdays and that's about it. I genuinely don't know what I could replace it with unless I spent a lot of money so I think I'll just keep it and enjoy it.

What's the remarkable about cars like this, is the fact that they dont have the agressive mean eyes in the front, which most cars especially today have, even if it's a minivan.

Bought a stock 2002 bugeye WRX with 60k miles last year, I've lost count how many complements I've had on it. Young people and older, men and women. It's a joy to drive, isnt expensive to maintain and it's great in bad weather, big boot and seats 4 adults no problem. Its a no brainer, yeah a bit heavy on fuel but servicing and parts are reasonable. It's gone up in value too. Sure it was viewed as a chav mobile 15 years ago but now seems quite the opposite, surprised how many teenagers shout 'Rev it' or 'nice car mate' and see people pointing at it regularly... not something I expected. All I had to do to it was replace the front headlights and add a set of decent tyres. One of the best all round cars I've owned and very practical.. The sound, pick up and handling... as good as it gets. Wish I'd bought one years ago. Was a big fan of Richard Burns and it was a bugeye that won the WRC in 2001.

@iboswell Год назад

Believe it or not but my 80 year old mother owns one of those, albeit with about 70k miles. Totally stock and every couple of years when we fly back from Aus it gets a decent road trip. She only drives it about 500 miles/year now so I've probably done most of the miles in the past decade. Has been totally reliable too in the 15+ years she's owned it.

There are certain things that were made to appeal to certain kinds of people. Porsche 928; successful, middle aged men. Volkswagen Beettle cabrio; young, single women.

Trying to convince anyone but to consider it, in most cases, will prove futile. Another great, honest review though.

I've had a soft spot for Imprezas almost my entire life, my dad had an '03 WRX when I was a kid and even though it only had 220bhp, it really put those horses to work! Always been a little dream of mine to own a WRX STI some day, but I hear horror stories of running costs and to be honest it puts me off.

@maimunrahman9635 Год назад

You need deep pockets to run and maintain one. I had a 2003 WRX myself and it only lasted me two and half months until it spun a bearing. In the meantime while it was working, I found myself replacing age old bits on it and even a replacement brake caliper was £100. Was a great performing car though and made such a wonderful noise! I didn't love it enough though to consider fixing it and decided to buy a Civic Type R EP3 instead, which I thought was a great move.

All these JDM legends have been wrenched out the hands of true enthusiasts and into the hands of mega rich arsehole collectors and speculators. They will then reside in an air-conditioned garage where no one can see them. These type of cars in particular were DESIGNED and BUILT to be tuned up and driven like they've just been stolen and thats OFF ROAD! They aren't some delicate little perfectly balanced, fragile old school sports car.

@carlwilliams3488 Год назад

May not be just cosmetic. The Prodrive exhaust system came in 3 flavours. A 2 box system on the WRX, a Single box system on the STi and an option of a sport cat in the STi. If this car has everything it might well have the sport cat too. I bought a Prodrive system from an STi for my WRX and it came with standard cat (owner had fitted something decatted and lairy) and I had to buy a prodrive sport cat separately. They make a decent difference.

@johnbewick1443 Год назад

Great review and is very appropriate to my ownership of a 2006 WRX Hawkeye. I have owned it from new and has covered a genuine 45000 miles. Was my daily driver until I retired 3 years ago and just get used occasionally these days. Whilst it has been modified it is a GB270 replica with similar accessories and remap putting out about 275 bhp. Had no issues with it and performance is superb…have upgraded the front brakes as you elude to. Haven’t the heart to sell it as I am attached to it having owned it from new… sounds great as well and a very practical car which was used for the weekly shop and ferrying my young grandson around in…keep up the great reviews 👍

@darcycuttlefish3981 Год назад

I had this exact car in black (‘blue black’) from new in 2002. Got so much positive attention from kids and others. Later added manufacturer approved PPP boosting hp to 300. Certainly the most fun car that I’ve ever owned but found the low speed agility slightly disappointing. The front end would wash out wide on small roundabouts in the wet with minimal provocation. You could prevent this with an extremely aggressive approach which activates the front LSD but in everyday driving, this wasn’t realistic with traffic limitations. On the other hand, high speed driving (say on twisty A or B road) was sensational and I never remotely reached the limits of this car.

The 5 speed gets too much hate in my opinion. As long as you're not slamming stupid power into the engine and dumping the clutch at 7k revs on launch everywhere they are just fine, mines on 145k miles and still feels tight and selects gears normally. I think alot of people just repeat things they've heard and not actually had a 5 speed fail on them Not only that but they are much better to actually drive than the 6 speed imo, you're forever changing gear in the 6 speed, the nice long gear lengths of the 5 speed are far better for a spirited drive on a B road. Just my opinion anyways 👌🏼

I’ve never owned a Scooby. I know of an RB5 locally that’ll be coming up for sale in the next year or so. I’ll be all over it. 🦾🦾

I hated these cars so much as a kid, I thought they were the ugliest car ever built. 15 years later and I weirdly kinda like it now but I don't know if just nostalgia or whats going on.

A car that I had never really spent much time thinking about that surprised me when I drove it was the 370z. Also the Honda fit with a stick. Both fun cars that exceeded my expectations

They are climbing n value., the “classic” shape has already taken off, and they were £2-3k cars

I never really liked those mainly to do with the said image of drivers of a certain type.However now that they have all moved on to the Golf R etc I find myself looking more at them as I pass them.....hmmmm should I....

This guy is my new top gear way better than the new guys also I have a 2005 wrx hawkeye and I’m very happy with it the key is too look for a good engine not a good paint job because paint is easyer to fix

Your pronunciation of McRae is cringeworthy to anyone of Scottish heritage! What a car though. Just beautiful.

Another one of those Gran Turismo cars worth getting now before the "nothing newer than 20 years old" American market opens up and takes demand and prices with them?

Nice video man, I'm so close to buying a 2nd car, spec c blobeye. It's surely a good investment but at a time when the economy is messed up. Is it worth it 🤔
