2020 Subaru WRX STI Review | 3 MAJOR Changes 

the way you graciously opened and closed the trunk !!! now i MUST get this car hands down.

Drew, I can totally see you owning this car. It just suits you.

Headed to the dealership to pick one up on Monday. I had a 2015 STI and put on 50k safe miles. Made a dumb move and traded it for a Tesla. Stoked to get an STI again. I trust the EJ engine. A mature owner with the EJ engine shouldn’t have any issues.

This video is very well done. It's just as good as your 2019 STI video. Can really tell you're super excited to get another chance to drive it.

A great video. I have the 2017 base model WRX and my next car will be the STI. Great overview on every part of this great vehicle. I hope the 2021 and 2022 WRX and STI look good with their FA motors and I also hope they perform good. I'm subscribing to your channel brother. Subies forever.

I ordered a limited last week, without any research. And I thank you for your review.

The adjustable center console that raises to make it more comfortable is awesome. It isn't new though. I had it on my 2010 Sti.

There's also a physical trunk button that opens with the keyless entry. A good upgrade as my wrx didn't have one. Love my new sti!

Great review as always!

I can do that keyless lock & unlock with my limited 2017 and also with the push button

Those Calipers!

Car reviews and parkour. That’s multi entertaining

Got my 2018 limited w/wing thinking to cop a 2021

I’m gonna finance one soon!!😁😁😁😍🥳

That center armrest is the same "optional" armrest they have had available since at least 2005 (or before). Same design for 15 plus years. I have it in my 06 Outback sedan and my 17 WRX.

Not a lot of manual options in Canada anymore. Looking to purchase a 20 or 21 sti however I’m surprised it doesn’t have cooled steering wheel along with seats, leather seats, more USB ports, wireless charging station for devices, plus blind spot monitor

I need this car.

Going to get this next week!

It may be getting old but I’m trading in my Model T, so it’ll be all new and futuristic for me

Speaker test got me to subscribe hahaha

I don't think you mentioned the wheels again. They seem a little big. Ride quality must suffer a bit. Is this a refresh, or a redesign? How does the short throw shifter change things? Do you think it's worth the money? Are those engines reliable?

Hello Andrew! Haha, another parcours action part in the video, paired with some breakdance as well!! :D 5 secs from 0-60 mph for a STI is not very fast, I guess! The nice powerful turbo charged boxer engine with 310 hp is exactly the one that is missing the BRZ! :D Nice suede and red accents! Steering headlights as a standard is indeed a nice treat! Thanks for sharing your experiences with this new iteration of the STI! Greetings from Munich!

I have a 2020 STI, and your review hit on things that I was wondering about. Like on my previous Subarus the sound system is embarrassing and when I got this one I was under the impression that it might have gotten the upgrade (which it didn't) because I was pretty impressed by the sound in comparison. I know there are better systems out there but for a stock basic sound system is pretty damn good at least enough not to be embarrassing when I have passengers.

man I love this car

When I'm calm, i drive with 2016 stock STi in city for 23 mpg, highway up to 120 kmh (ikr its boring) for 29-31 mpg (ecorun)

Still waiting for you to mention the three "major" changes. Haven't heard any so far.

Mustang gt references in a wrx video 👌

I begin typing lengthy comments then decide aaaaaahhh 4get it. Good one GP.

Turbo charger AND intercooled. What a concept

Do they have stronger pistons this year?

3 major updates, body kit, fuel economy, price. Lol

Everyone thinks the diff control changes the torque split and it doesn't

For the price they charge they should make high end options in luxury cars standard due ti outdated engine and chasis

This is the dealership where I’m buying mine

Spongebob and Me :I NEEED IT !!

Is getting the STI worth it compared to the WRX?

nice

Hahaha some bboy & parkour moves there lol

I owned first year of the new gen (2015) but let it go for EV I bought, but now I see it’s been the same car since 5 years Yes it’s amazing to drive, the steering rack accuracy, the feedback, the stif clutch and easy to feel flywheel release point, strong confident shift feel, carving exact curve on corner that u’d want but despite all of that it’s tiring to see same thing for too many years before Subaru can regen the car in light of competition

I just recently got an STI Should i see a doctor?

It’s a lot of fun for how much it costs.

Do you need to upgrade your fuel system if you have a intake and a catback?

I have a 2019 STI limited and I still don't see the 3 MAJOR changes your referring to in the 2020. The machined rims are not a major change. It's the same soft rim from last year. Directional head lamps again nothing new from the 2019. Bilstein dampers on all four corner were already available on the 2019 model. The only difference and I wouldn't consider it "major" is the plumbing added into the front bumper bezels for brake cooling. Don't get me wrong, fun car, but still not worth the price jump. Waiting to see the next gen STI before finally giving up on Subaru and heading over to Audi for an RS3. Subarus use to be a bang for your buck car, now Subaru is moving into price ranges of cars that can out perform out the box. Cars in this day and age labeled "performance" should have at least 400hp. Let's stop faking the funk.

@14:55 how did you pronounce Porsche??!?!?

12:33 Keyless entry and push button start isn’t new for 2020. It’s on my 2019. 🤫

Do you have to lift the thing under the shifter to shift into any gear? Or is that just for going into rear?

my 2015 has key less access and push button. definitely not new.

What part of PA were you driving at around 3:05 ? The road looks familiar.

Any reviews coming for jaguars or land rovers?

My 2015 STI bought brand new in NY put 5000 miles on it only lost 10k trading in for an Suv Going to buy another one for 2020 or the S209

Does it still have rev hang on this 2020?

First!!!

When we can see the 2021 sti

I've seen alot of review video's, had a 12sti and 15wrx. Looking for a 21sti. This is a new car the dealership is letting you put miles on? It blows my mind, if I was buying new, anything more that 5-7 miles I would consider used and want an appropriate discount.

do these cars have rev matching?

dude Apple in York PA never has STIs around lol

That's not how the dccd works

💨🌬💎💎

Y’all I remember way back last year or something they said 2020 was gonna getting a new changed model entirely to use for the next few years and had a concept of it (didn’t think it would be final but still something new) What happened to that?

this car is oldschool look. 90s JDM lol

Kind of getting outdated tbh

Very disappointed with subaru not making the 2020 special. The rims are the same as the base model from the previous years. My 2017 Limited STI is likely my last STI i will ever buy.

Looks like the wing is smaller or am I tripping?🤨

Bro if your going to rev the car... rev the car ffs

I love this car father please help me make enough money one day to buy this

Hi, how long turbo can last,and it's expensive to replace it.

Read the manual. That’s not how the DCCD works. It doesn’t make it front or rear wheel biased.

This car is fine. Easy to drive. No jitters. No rattles. No noise complaints. Actually, no complaints at all. If you want this car, buy it. Nothing matches it, and no one should tell you otherwise. Critic: “Oh... there are all these negatives!” Me: “No, there are no negatives, this car is perfect.” And I bet even this comment will receive negative comments.

You look a bit like Johnny Knoxville here

16/22 mpg lord have mercy

Subaru's audio has always been horrible. I hope you didn't up play this. I have a 2019 WRX with Apple Android carplay and it is absolutely horrible when it comes to sound. The louder you turn it the more it decides to go to one side of the car or turn down.

They should've kept the wheels black. That chrome is ugly

Looks exactly like a 2018 sti....i thought there was supposed to be major changes?

You didn't let the car break-in. You left your hand on the shifter. You held 12 with your left hand to try to steer. You need a little coaching bro

The rims on the 2020 are disgusting lol I recently bought the 2019 STI

The changes are too minor. Prices are high. I just bought a Kia Stinger GT for $32k. That's a way better buy and a better car.

Its tiring to drive a manual. Paddle shifters are a blast. 300hp not fun anymore.

Wheels aren’t new, same wheels just machined lol Subaru

You have got to stop using the weird music in the background. Please, stop it.

same old sh**

The background music is terrible, makes me not want to watch the video.

Not a review. More like an advertisement.

What's with the clown music playing in the background?

This thing is less fuel efficient than a V8 😨

Its actually about roughly about 6 sec from 0-60 and @1:34 , you can really tell how bad the Subaru paint is.. Orange peel anyone?

nothing new here for the 2020 STI. Get a 2019 it has all the same shit but better lookin wheels

Id like to own one but I'm not a vaping douchebag.

Subaru must be able to produce an STI that gets better mpg. Such shitty gas mileage.

Gold pony?? Lol gay

Ruined the wheels.... ugly!

I've got the answer to all of your WRX, STi, Forester, Outback and Ascent engine problems. A little history lesson. Subaru manufactures 80% of their vehicles in Japan. Japan has had a negative birth rate for decades, paired with highly restrictive immigration policies. Subaru's stock value quadrupled between 2012 and 2016. Now ask yourself, how does an automaker supply such a rapid increase in demand and growth to an international market, while manufacturing cars within Japan, utilizing a domestic workforce for which the worker numbers needed do not physically exist? Tada. Over work the shit out of your domestic employees, and utilize a slew of subsidiary companies employing foreign migrant asylum seeking workers on temporary work permits to fulfill your supply chain. Sorry to break it to you folks, your "Made in Japan" WRX STi is actually made by asylum seeking migrant workers employed by 3rd parties living in Ota, Japan who could care less about the quality of your vehicle because they are more concerned about the food they need to put on the table when 30 percent of their wages are stolen by their broker. Subaru knows all of this but can say its not their problem as they are not directly employed by them. Oh and the Japanese domestic workers that do work on your car? Well they routinely work ridiculous overtime and are not paid for it. In 2016 a worker committed suicide at the plant in Ginza when he was forced to 105 hours of unpaid overtime in a month. There is the source of all of your ringland failures, bent connecting rods, slipped bearings and heavy oil consumption. If Subaru actually cared about the people that manufactured their cars instead of over working and extorting their domestic and migrant workers, non of these QC problems would exit. As consumers, you have the power to force a company to change its ways and create a safe, fair work environment for its employees. Stop buying Subaru products and watch the quality of your vehicle go through the roof. Amen.

outdated and cheap looking car...you're better off buying the type r with the fake carbon fiber. at least it looks better.
