I've been going back and forth between this and the type r and I ended up purchasing the 2020 sti. I've wanted an sti for a long time now so im happy with the decision

Its amazing this car exists in this day and age, and its a very good thing that it does.

I bought a 2019 STI. After 1 1/2 years, I bought forged 18” Titan7 wheels with 265x35 Pilot Sport 4s tires. Upgraded to fortune auto 500 coil-overs and added a perrin tower brace. Car feels 10x better now. Car doesn’t lean in turns at all, it’s perfectly flat every time. The stock 19” tires were too stiff, didn’t like them at all. The higher sidewall on my 18’s ride much smoother. I spent a small fortune on everything but now I want to drive the car all the time. Worth it!

Bought mine in October, love the car. Use it as my daily even in heavy traffic. Agree on the clutch but you do get used to it like he says. Very good review.

Just picked up my 2020 STI last week - love the raw feel.. super fun car :)

I have owned my 2017 STI Limited for about 4 years now and I do not see myself ever selling it (Even though it retains High Resell Value). I have it at about Stage 2 and I plan on going no further. Any further Mods would ruin the Daily Driver factor. Still to this day when I get in my car I get excited. When I am driving it I am enjoying myself. You know that there is always more power available if you just push the Throttle more, so it can be hard to stay within the speed limit. Overall I love this car and it is one of the best car purchases I have ever made. If you ever wanted one, do yourself a favor and get it if you can afford it.

I have the same colour and year of this car. I have wanted this car for many years. When I knew they were stopping the production of STI, I felt part of me died. A year after it was discontinued, I bought a second hand STI Spec R. I have been so happy with this car. I would not look anything else if I was given a second chance. The stick shift in this car takes about a good 3-6 months to drive comfortable on the road. My only regret was I did not buy this car when it was new.

Finally a new 2020 Sti review.

Picking mine up in a few days.. cant wait.. already ordered a ton of parts while telling my self not to order parts.. yup.. my next months gov support cheque will be in good use lol

Completely agree with what you said about the clutch. I own a manual WRX and the clutch took a lot of getting used to for smooth shifting. I didn’t have much issues stalling my car but rather shifting smoothly into 2nd. The Type R has a better shifting experience but the STI sounds better, has AWD, and arguably looks better. I still want a Type R though.

I own the 2016 Impreza and with how fun I find that car to drive, I can’t wait to own one of these some day

The STI is the first car I want to own. Hopefully, that day comes come sooner 😭

Fantastic vehicle. Always has been, always will be. Drove a WRX early 2000’s into a 335i, then to a 128i 6 speed, then into a 2019 WRX. I came back to Subaru even from BMW because of how much I love these cars. They have that fun X factor that many “better” cars lack, at least IMHO.

Have a 2019. 1. The Post RA engine mods are about a stage 1+ relative to the prior engine....the awhp is about 285 so the actual hp is more like 350...torque is about 330 too.....they underrate it. It is noticeable relative to the 2017. 2. Audio is good in the ltd.. Harmon K. Not audiophile, but good enough. 3. 18” 19 pound wheels and Michelin’s save about 9 pounds per corner and liven it up a lot. Big improvement. 4. Car is a hoot. Super reliable (leaving it stock). Subaru 7y/100k warranty is best in the business... 5. Low wing option on the Ltd is great...hides better... 6. Steering feel is tops. 7. Shifting and clutch drastically improve with stiffened tranny mount (and engine mounts, pitch stop)....issues go away and it is surgical. Etc. On the street, hard to legally use more power. Was being tail gated by a dodge monster 700hp car and after a set of 90 degree turns I took at a leisurely pace saw the other car scrub off into the shoulder....the handling on these cars just stock is amazing (the 265 Michelin’s help....).Really, great street car. Am coming out of a prior 996TT and that was too powerful for the street (it was about 500hp...). It was actually not fun day to day....this car is better (and has a warranty!!).

Fun car and I'm glad cars like these and the Honda Civic Type R are still being sold. That being said, I'm not their target buyer. After a long day of work, I want a smooth easy comfortable ride while I jam along to pop music. I want an automatic. I'm also too financially savvy to sink too much money in a depreciating asset like a car. Both this WRX STI and Type R cost well over $40,000 out the door when you consider sales tax, dealer fees, registration, options etc. I've seen some of them being sold for an out the door price close to $50,000. Only a fool would pay that much for this car.

I heard the raw laughter of enjoyment! Trade in ur garage Queen 👸 haha

Got to see one in person at IFO and it is way bigger than I thought. The owner put a bigger turbo in it and hearing the turbo spool was amazing

Bought mine on December and now its has over 8k , because I daily drive it and yeah it's one of the best legal 4 cylinder in us I can say . Never own a civic . I personally think type r looks more rice . Of course it makes some power but that look and fwd it doesn't deserve that much respect

reasons for me to pick sti over type r: snow days in toronto; the sti mechanic feeling is what i preferred; type r is too quite; 4. raw manual experience, no rev matching, have to double dip = true fun for manual cars

Driving those same streets every day and noticed you're literally driving in a circle 😂

18in wheels fit over these newer brembos. Gotta find the right design though.

I normally dont think young kids can put together a good review, but i watched thru and u did a great job highlighting some solid points. I have had my bugeye since 2005.

Just bought a 2020 STI Sport Tech. It's my third one. Previously had 2012 WRX and 2015 STI. So far really enjoying it. Everything seems more refined compared to 15 model. My only gripe is that the new one doesn't have same red iconic gauge lights. Now it's more like regular dash like any other Subaru. Please bring back the old lights Subaru for when I get newer one in three year's time!!!!

I just bought mine 2 weeks ago in white. Great cAr. Had dealer put on front sti lip. Tinted windows. Great car

Thinking of getting this as my first car

I own a 2019 STI, I agreed with you on the shifting is not precise. Beyond that I love ❤️ my STI the clutch not a problem

Great video Sir. I have a 2017 base model wrx. My next car will be a STI. Thank you for making this video. Take care and stay safe brother. I

Just picked up 20 Sti in White! Absolutely love the rawness of it. I’m going to install Borla s type exhaust in few days. Anyone else have Borla exhaust?

Great job with the review! Just need some drive by shots etc exterior engine notes. Btw how did you feel about the audio system?

No shame in stalling a Manual at first drive, each one is different with clutch set up, and you need to learn it when you drive one.

I put a deposit for mine, arriving on Monday, fingers crossed 🤞

The cdiff control doesn't change the front to rear torque split, it changes the the engagement of the limited slip diffs. Torque split stays at about 60rear/40front all the time.

I am George you are George, we are all George.

Great video !

got mine in February, amazing car. Little quiet from factory so I put an axle back :D

Awesome vid mate

Yup. I was debating ctr or Subaru. Ctr looks to boy boy racer. I would get a evo but sadly they don't make it anymore

learned stick on a 2019 sti

The clutch definitely takes getting used to lol

Loved the review, honest and fair

Sti all day, over type-anything. Subaru is god-tier in comparison.

I missed the opportunity to buy a new STI, the last hatchback :( , if they bring it back maybe, Supra looks very tempting

Keep up the great job George =), hopefully you get your other youtube channel back soon!

“Raw driving experience”. But he’s talking ....

You know you are so right. I stall every once in a while in my 2020 STI. I just bought my 2020 STI this year in January. It had very low miles on it. 9,421K. I drive alot. The Irvine Subaru dealership I go to here in CA recommends me changing my clutch @40K. Does that sound right? Or should I change it @50K. I upgraded from a 2017 base model WRX to my 2020 STI and you can tell that the STI is the better car. A great video brother. Stay safe. Subies forever. My STI has mo wing. I put wind deflectors and a vortex generator on .

Only problem with the WRX is that it don't have the sweet soundtrack of a flat 6. Would be dope if next generation WRX had a new EZ36 turbo engine.

Great review, thank you.

Did you happen to film part of this in Busse Woods haha? I'm from EG and just stumbled upon your channel. Happen to own an STi myself.

This is beautiful machine for sure.

Excellent Review!

Always been curious to how these go cruising on a highway. If your doing 70mph, what RPM is the Sti sitting on in 6th gear?

oh man, they all talk about power and it's handling. However, the thing drive me nut about Sti is power to fuel economy ratio...way behind competitors.

i test drove a 2017 sti and i felt the clutch grabbed very high. does that sound normal or does it sound like the clutch was worn?

Currently have 500 down on an sti limited. But now debating to get a ctr boost blue instead. Any advice lol?

do a 2020 Mx-5 Miata!

Engine sounds awesome . . .

Can you mention something about the sound system? I heard speakers not that great…..thanks

Hey nice car and when will you do the part 3 and part 2 of the tesla modal x but nice review

Hello. Very good review, and video material. I was wondering if this car can be a daily for the family of four? Is it to loud on the backseat? How is it on a longer roadtrips. Thanks!

What’s the color code the car & the brakes caliper color code. I really dig that color with the neon brake caliper

Came here because some young kid wrapped his around a tree the video is on loudlabs California

I disagree the direct competitor was the focus rs

I've heard some bad things about this generation of WRX's. Any owners here that care to set the record straight on that?

All subaru sti need upgrade the engine i don't like stock because 310hp means 236 hp on wheels 😒

My lease is almost over and im financing my next car which car do you think is better between the STI and Type R? Im having a hard time between the two

I want to see the differences between the 2015 sti and the 2020 sti, performance wise

Had mine bought back in 2 weeks from purchase, ended up grabbing an evo 9

I would say ur right about the clutch to get use to it drive in i then when u want to get on it drive in sport sharp i mode makes it so much more of a normal car then when u want to drive like a beast ss is the mode

We are all George lol.

The clutch can be adjusted to the drivers likes...

Is there cabin noise?

Why compre rhis ti civic type r? Civic is a Civic. This is STI we are talking about.

Great. You can read the manual.

"it's really nice"

I want to know desperately what the difference is performance wise from the 2015 sti to the 2020 sti specifically, can anyone help me with that? I have a 2015 sti and as far as I know the 2020 sti has 5 more HP and has a lighter electronic diff? Besides that I don’t know much performance differences

Holy shit i knew i recognized this guys voice. This guy has a crypto currency channel, can;t remember the name.

3 fingers, jam it in there, use some force, some of you guys will like this feeling...Jeez!!!

what color of the car is it

Is it worth buying it compared to a 2004/2005 sti regarding driving experience

What's the colour of the car?

Drive the fucking thing already

I miss the other* channel

The stis shifter is super simple and easy the type rs shifter was heavy asf you must be smoking some good shit

What's the song in the beginning?

Like what is the difference from the 19 STI? Just the wheels?

George I thought you were a crypto channel!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I just bought one its been a week still getting used to it. Any tips of how to shift smoother

For some reason he sound like eddie to me. But he doesn’t look like him.

I live in ND so I have two options an sti or a focus rs or stay with my current car which looks dope but is very slow(:

Anything with computer steering isn't a drivers car

Hey George, I know you've deleted my comments and possibly blocked me because when I logged out, I didn't see my comments. I apologize if I offended you. I request that you unblock me and give me another chance. I'm a supporter of your channel and I will make more supportive comments from now on.

You misspelled the title word "experience"

That button doesn’t actually do shit beside the percentage of throttle. Say you had the gas pedal to the floor and had eco mod on, the actual throttle percentage going to the ECU is only about 60%. And why did you even try connecting drifting to a AWD car lmfao

crypto man

That dealership is complete trash. They ask way to much for their cars and their salesmen are complete tools. Only bad thing about the STI is that the power is all up too compared to the FA20 which has low end torque

I don't care, but the wrx sti needs more power... 0-60 mph in 5 seconds 😳 The interior looks rice with those red color. Just keep it all black... Red seat belts??? I wanted to buy a 2020 wrx sti but it said $45,000. Not including tax and warranty... That's going to be over $50,000.

First !

Subaru crap, next Sti will be cvt 110kw the way this company is going

just get a tesla model 3 :))
