I was just thinking that lol

4th Gen Supra one... dont even question it saying hot dicks for 47 seconds and at the end imitating having sex with the Supra

@Jeff Dittburner omg I never saw It before your comment that's yeah genuinely unnerving

@Jeff Dittburner ah yes, the Kia Spectre review

You must be new here 😂

yr

An odd statement given how many more imprezas they sell than sti's 😂

It’s one of those things. Guys with STIs do wing deletes and guys with WRXs will willfully trade their trunks to add the wing.

I’m by no means a ricer, and as a Wrx owner myself, I know that the stock performance is nothing to write home about, but the spoiler completes the look in my opinion. Although I have the Wrx not the sti, so my car has the shorter spoiler on it.

Exactly, without the wing, the STi looks just like the regular Impreza WRX. There has to be something to differentiate the two.

shake its hand

InsaneManiac your wife sounds awesome.

Stupid Teenager indeed (kinda lame I know, that's how I see it.)

I love your wife.

@@STG44VOLVO loves your wife

@@STG44VOLVO i love his wife too i love everyones wife

I read that in the Mr. Regular "Bro" voice! HAHA

PeteNinjaFocus ME TOO XD HAHA

for 12k an ej25 would hold 500hp easy.

ItalianPasta Yes it would...

you deserve the mr regular seal of approval

:(

reminds me of my 60-something elementary school principal with a yellow S2000

You'd be surprised how many people who'd never even think about going fast buy fast Subarus here in Switzerland.

She probably didn't wanna get fired lol

@@JerzeyJimmy I study automotive engineering and it's ironic that the career principal drives the most boring car in the campus

my friend just bought a prelude with a stage 3 racing clutch like why lol

Dumb ass

Why does a racing clutch make it uncomfortable to drive

@@gsteel98 really stiff, tiring to drive

@@gsteel98 cant really ease away with it, grabs aggressively

I couldn't even afford a car at 19yo

Am 19 but I drive my moms car cause im broke and can't get a car for myself

Dela Kidzz, Do what I did. Sell yourself lol jk.

I’m 19 and drive a 2010 Legacy. Great car. Would really love to have a WRX but it would definitely stay stock lol

I just slowly build my 06 it’s just gonna be a couple years long project for me

What if Brian's grandma got ran over by an Impreza?

PoopOnThe2nd Best comment I've seen

PoopOnThe2nd your butt hurt sounds like the sti spanks your ass in a way you like

Most cars he roasts in an amusing fashion, but he seems to have some real saltiness towards the STi.

Its a four door sports car, the angst is justified.

making them luimarco gains

Rertner Furtheng I shove protein bars on the fuel tank IT MAKES THE VTEC KICK IN FASTER!

deloreanman14 huh cool learned something new thanks.

deloreanman14 I'm in the US good luck finding a red badge here.

A friend of mine has a 07 v6 sedan with a manual and it's the only one I've ever seen.

deloreanman14 now Ima go paint mine red 😂

deloreanman14 I can change the stick into 1-2-D3-D 😂😂😂

I have a 21 year old one, annoying exhaust and all. Still love it. I'm 40 and probably look like a complete ass behind the wheel but.....

I would love nothing more than to have that.

Yeah it's a ten year old Subaru, I wouldn't turn it down (I ride a moped) but it's hardly the height of decadence.

It's like a $16-18k car the last time I was looking at them regularly, if that. Not exactly heinous, but definitely more than most 19 year olds should have. Still, there were kids at my high school driving new BMWs/Benzes while I was putting around in a car that had been pulled kicking and screaming from the 1980s. Seeing as the STi's only valued at maybe a sixth of what a lot of those kids got to drive, it's not too extreme. Shit, even the preppy girls who got new Corollas at the time were rolling around in wheels that were technically more valuable

techno.logic I went to high school with a kid whose dad bought him a brand new STI. He totaled it about a month later. For the rest of the school year he drove his dad's '78 Corvette pace car.

Come to Seattle, and check out Chinese UW students driving brand new Maseratis, Audi R8's, ///M3s and C63 AMGs that Mom and Dad got for them, when they probably never even got behind the wheel of any car before they came to the USA to study, its really absurd.

Same here in L.A. near UCLA

If your a collector . Mint examples in Australia selling as much as $31000 USd

Cars are meant to be used and in addition this is definitely a popular car for modding

cowdoodles but unfortunately mr regular is right, most of their mods make it worse

whewmancool maybe in HIS experience but there are plenty of these cars driving around modded and reliable

im 18 with a mostly stock 2005 wrx (aside from exhaust and intake) and plan to keep in that way

it needed to be said. hazelnuts ain't peanuts, yo!

WHAT D:

oof

seriously. as hilarious and well intended as this review is, I'd rather drive this car due to its racing pedigree, I mean that's why people drive these cars and others like it. You don't need other's recognition to drive a car you truly appreciate and enjoy anyway

@@DavidFlores-jn1yg you got that. this is simply his opinion. enjoy what you love.

Always my attraction.

Nor did he mention the great Collin McRae.. tisk tisk... r.i.p. Collin

I KNOW he knows better!

ThePlanBPill I relate to this

That's it, I'm calling it Pentsylvania from now on.

Maybe. I live in Illinois and it annoys a lot of people when you pronounce the "S". So I think I did that purposely to be funny and to upset people who live in Illinois.

ThePlanBPill i bet he did

The Focus WRC never had a roadlegal counterpart (you know, turbo AWD making close to 300hp).

Evan Wade Me too except I fist saw the rally car in Gran Turismo 4.

Diego Ruiz Well right now the rally Focus that Ken Block drives has the Focus RS

Evan Wade I wanted one because of the old Colin McRae games on ps1 and watching the rally's (I live in wales so there's a lot of em)

Good choice with the 997 and if its anything like the 996, in another few years they'll be really affordable. I'd love a black & orange 997 GT3RS.

170 mafia

LOL I meet such a wide variety of people in RegularCars comments.

Aww, they are sweet little jets. Time building for the majors.

An O.J. reference, yes? But I can't connect it to the car.

@@Redmenace96 It's not an OJ reference. What he means is that even if though all of the stereotypes about the sti and the people that drive them and put gaudy ridiculous mods on them are true, that doesn't mean we cannot accept them as just other people that love cars and love working on them, albeit with different tastes. If the glove fits, ie. if they actually are an axe wearing dude-bro, we can still respect them and put forth an effort to understand what it is they love about the STI.

Or the very old Celica GT4 and Delta HF

Diego Ruiz For sure, but it's not really contempory with this car. The three champions of the 90's

Except the 2006 WRX. It did have the aluminum control arm. Then on 2007 they reverted back to steel.

Hehe I see what you did there

Ryan Griffith or an SC

Would actually be really interested to see what he has to say about SCs

Ryan Griffith I think the SC 300 is better but to each his own. But finding a clean manual sc 300 is much harder to find than an is300 manual

YES PLS. I've been requesting this forever hahaha. I could say he could come to Canada to review mine, but that's not gonna happen so ya. Also Manual would be a better review.

I've got an extremely clean '92 manual SC but I'm out in California :( if Mr. Regular ever comes out here for reviews I'd love for him to review it

I read this comment just as it came up in the video. Holy fuck

I meant same wheels lol

Gunnar DeRoss same actually

Why anyone would live in a cold state, when you can live on the beach, is beyond me

My beautiful and amazing Princess yeah lets just shove the entire usa into california. Smart

Why would anyone live in a hot/humid place is beyond me.

@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess yeah. Because California isn't expensive and Florida isn't bat shit crazy

firebird188 😂😂😂😂

And spec b's stock are even rarer

no

Yes

Yes

The people who drive sti's were the ones who were bullied

some questions 1.) was it stable? 2.) was it reliable? 3.) was it fun with light performance mods?

Mr.loltraktor Let me answer those question No No Maybe

Nick Rynearson alright that's all I needed to know

A stock sti is better than all these riced out stis. Everyone mods and kills it. I have a stock and I'm going to keep it that way. From New to 1million miles

Its hazelnut reeeeee

playerskilz #ExposeJRGarage

I really hope it doesn't get infected with the S13 issue on having no more, or at the most, a handful of unmodified cars. As time goes on, it'll be impossible to find an unmodified Impreza of this age....kinda sad, though I can see why they get modified to insanity.

This comment needs more thumbs up.

I work at pep boys, and before you make assumptions, I only buy oil from there, not useless aftermarket items. But in writing because there are way more middle aged -> older people that come in than teens. Places like pep boys / AutoZone / oreilleys are getting smaller by the year because they keep losing customers, however service and commercial departments do great.

That fuel leakage issue was a strange one - I had to pay the repair out of pocket (despite showing the dealership a copy of the TSB), and then a month later Subaru of America sends me a check reimbursing the cost of the repair. I was happy to be reimbursed, but why not just do the damn recall? Afraid of negative PR? It's not like I didn't have some 4 other recalls done already.

I miss the old car culture. Nowadays it's all about what others think of your car and trying to stand out the most or going with the trend. I remember when people did it because they liked it, because they wanted to, not to show off to others. And I feel like car manufacturers are catering to this new type of car culture, which is why there hasn't really been anything quite new and exciting for quite a number of years...

E - lame culture

Nate Pranaitis agreed 💯👌 it doesn't help that all modern cars 2010-present look all the same and they all look like fuckin space ships in the inside with all of the unnecessary gagets n buttons.

Found it, In case you want to read it again. www.hotrod.com/articles/hrdp-0401-mustang-cobra-subaru-wrx-sti/

Wow this is crazy cause i was a senior in high school and actually did a report from that article. Made me want one so bad. Have always remembered that. About 8 years later i ended up with a 02 wrx. Yes it is modded and loud. But each and every time i drive it i have fun. That is what makes a car for me. Still want a 04 sti lol. One day maybe.

Like a true Trini I haven't

Opinions on aircraft like the Embraer really go to show that there's two types of flyers. Type 1: Doesn't really like or care for the act of flying, doesn't really trust airplanes, just wants it to be over as quick as possible. They see the Embraer as a rattly, cramped, piece of junk, much like a snooty businessman may look at a WRX. They'd rather fly in an expensive, "Safer" aircraft, like a Gulfstream. Or, if they're not fancy enough to fly in a private jet, at least something made by Boeing. Type 2: Thrill of the moment, seat of the pants type flyers. These guys, myself included, absolutely love flying. The acceleration, the roar of the engines, the buffeting of the wind against the aircrafts body panels. We don't care how long the flight is, we'll never be bored with flying. Especially on an aircraft like the Embraer. You don't sleep on an Embraer, you observe. You feel. You understand that you are traveling over 400 miles per hour, through air and clouds, and you enjoy it. You are connected. You're no longer just a passenger, you are part of the journey.

Aaaand we found a type two flyer

its Brazil way of emote people

Nah, man. He means it was recalled for anyone who tried to listen to Sufjan Stevens in it. Turns out the stock CD player hated that album and would express its displeasure by peeing on the control arm. Subaru makes weird cars.

Warhead Urban Exploration did ya just come from da down unda m8

Originally, it was Ill Annoy, but then the legislature was like "oh hell, nobody will come live here with that name, but.. oh, it's so catchy--let's re-write it in a way that looks like Le Franch so people will come here anyway".

Yes and no

A 1999 Subaru Impreza WRX 22b that's the one you're looking for

@@vonhellsing6406 it wasn't a 22B, it was a GC8

@@user-mx1fq6qm6i the gc8 was just the chassis. Buntas was a type R

Cars are often dirty in places with snowy winters because a bunch of road grime and brake dust gets mixed into the snow. The grime stays on the car after the snow has melted and few people wash the grime off during the winter since it might end up snowing again really soon.

I clean my interior quite a bit, most people don't!

Zor, it's dirty as fuck inside

sparkscarz Well how often do you run into one that isnt already molested?

theyre all beat up by now.

sparkscarz could you find a mint eg6 Civic?

Dennis El Menace Sanchez Lopez lmfao

This car is like many other nice car. If it's stock it's low miles or un-modified or trashy lies.

found the sti owner

Curlehh King SAME

Curlehh King till you remember the singer tried raping a baby or some shit

rosie684 tried? he was involved with multiple cases- the one he got nailed for he convinced some roadie chick to bring her baby with her when they wen to have sex and did all kinds of stuff to it. love the music, but yeah, hard to enjoy it now.

theo laf this makes it harder for me. I knew that he got convicted etc. but I didn't know details

Agreed. I remember being in high school when the fake sound of progress came out. I had never heard anything like it.

Say that shit to Bunta's face Mr. Regular

Royhan I've checked it's not there.. lol

Poland Garage it's next to your monster hat

It's In your vajayjay

I refuse to vape because I drive a Subaru. I don't want to reinforce that stereotype because it it so god damn true

Poland Garage Most legit sir lolXD

btw the s in illinois is silent. so its pronounced illinoi

Darn rich-kids huh? lol. My wife's stepdad did the same thing when she turned 16. It wasn't a STI, but it was a brand new car. When I got my permit I got to go Walmart and get my own set of keys cut for my dad's Chev Celebrity lol. Which was still great....and all the freedom it let me have etc. But a WRX STI ???....😠💰 I have mega-rich 1st cousin's, and you wouldn't believe the shit they had or got to do growing up to today. My father was a factory worker so I understand all that 😠💰 shit.

Hey, those "gifts" usually end up as anchors later on in life, when it's up to the kid to go out and produce enough money to make their own way in life. Don't think you got short-changed because you had to work for what you own. I know I sure don't, my dad worked construction and my mom has her own business. Being able to buy my own brand new 2013 MX-5 Miata (nearly) outright was a dream come true for a middle class 20-something like me. Every time I get in that car, I look around and think "Yeah, this shit is fucking MINE." Fun fact- My high school buddy's sister was given a brand new RX-7 for getting her license. Her dumbass boyfriend totalled it, and it was replaced with an Audi A4 or A6 (I forget). Okay, that's not fun, but it IS true.

Ohyeah, I totally agree. For me it was my brand new 2007 Mazdaspeed3. And yes, I proudly left it stock. lol

killerskillet wait do you mean rx7 or rx8

My apologies, RX-8. That awesome-looking suicide door coupe, last of the rotary engines. Edit- I was never in it, but you could tell it was about as close to a stripped-down track rocket as you could ever hope to see, apart from the MX-5...

His name is Randy or something

rambow70 yea you may a lot but theres still a bigger number that are mommy and daddy funded, for the people that it doesnt apply to good job

Can confirm, 21 with a mid-teens-priced car... Still live with my parents.

Yes, but I addressed that. If they go to secondary school then it is probably funded by mom and dad. I started working sophomore year in high school and could afford a $5,000 car by end of senior year part time. Now if I went into the working world, having experience and the ability to work full time I most definitely could afford a car in the price range stated above. Smartest idea? No. But do-able.

you're telling me a 13 year old car that costs 12k+ with 100k+ miles on it isn't worth a lot of money? i think people want outrageous amounts of money for the car people still try and sell 2013 sti's for more than a brand new one is worth.

Rain well ya people put a lot of money in there subarus and want the money back when they sell it.

Yep any "budget" performance vehicle is going to have its quirks. However if cheap interiors are a let down or reason not to own a "performance" based car... then I would suggest the VW Golf R... yes while it may not be as fast as the STI, the build quality is bar none. Both are right around the same price new and used.

MasterMech77 I don't mind rattles. My impreza rattles more and more from the dirt and gravel I drive on. I really do love the GTI. I would consider one when I can afford it.

+Adam Steele OH I do understand the rattles. Out of all the vehicles I own, my top two are a nicely modified 2010 Mk6 Golf R, and a lightly modified Scion FRS. Both are my favorite "toys" but for completely different reasons and they are total opposites of each other. The FRS rattles like crazy from day one... but I love the way it drives, it is so light and nimble, not much power, but that means you can full throttle it everywhere and not go to jail the moment you do. It also gets sideways very easily and can stay that way even at very low speeds, so makes it one heck of a fun thing. The Golf R is heavy, powerful, all wheel drive, and very well made... it's fun to drive in a completely different way compared to the FRS.

Ryan Agreed. I have an '06 6-6 Sedan. It's a keeper.

The civic is better
