2020 Subaru WRX STI Review // End Of The Line, Pal 

Super fun filming with y'all, thanks for the donut! I was trying to think of what my favorite part was, I think meeting Tux was the highlight (Thomas' cat). Also, nailed all 3 digits of pi. 👊You guys should come to Idaho sometime!

in the beginning, I was like wait...did I click on the wrong video? 🤣

Traded my '15 STI for a Tesla Model 3. Dumbest move of my adult life. I really enjoyed my '15 STI and drove her spiritedly for 50,000 amazing miles and with zero issues. I think I'll hold out till next year for the redesign. I sincerely hope the STI will remain true to its roots. Edit: Didn't wait till next year. Proudly sold my Tesla for a '20 STI. Too much uncertainty with what's coming for STI. Edit again: WOW! Am I happy I followed my heart and bought the 2020 STI. The end of STI as we know it has arrived folks... If there is a car you're on the fence of buying, don't delay. EV generation is upon us and the days of ICE vehicles are numbered. Enjoy them while you can! Life is too short to sacrifice your happiness...

James: "getting in an Sti, it's not gonna feel like a racecar" Me, in my '08 toyota yaris, with 69hp, 150k kilometres and a dead clutch: "obviously"

Engineering Explained cameo was great.

Wait till everyone complains about the new sti and misses the ej20's and ej25's

For as much shit I used to talk about the STI, after i had traded my STI in for a F80 M3, I still find myself tempted to go back to the STI. Power aside, the refined EJ motor, 6 speed, true AWD, it's simplicity, raw driving experience, driver focused feeling and it's hydraulic steering really brings back my joy and experience with the early 2000s late 90s JDM cars/ driving style; which is nearly impossible to find now in modern cars today, except with the STI. This cars simplicity and raw driving experience are going to be missed now that everything is electronic, robing us of what true driving experience is about. We may not see it right now but give it time, all of us who complained about the STI being "old" and "needs modern updates/ tech" will eventually realize the "old" & "outdated" feeling is what true drivers will crave, not a car that does the driving for us with its 20+ ECUs. We will all realize we were wrong for hating on the current STI and resent what we complained about. Once this old school STI is gone, it will take time for us to realize and wish there was still a driver focused sports car that retained that "old" 90s/ early 2000s JDM driving experience and style.

The fact that it has hydraulic steering and a manual makes me want it even more

I know some people will bash on this car but the WRX STI has this sort of charm that stands out from its competition It’s a good all round car that is good on track and the dirt

"And shifting is fun!" SAVE THE MANUAL!

As a Canadian who owns a 2012 STI, I can confirm these are amazing in winter

Recently ran across a used 2021 sti with only 3k miles. I immediately jumped on it since Ive wanted one for a while. Love driving it as my daily.

That intro is just gold! Love to see Jason Fenske on this channel!

This is one of the best review videos I've seen. Clean, simple, and to the point.

This is so classic, watching Throttle House and Engineering Explained collaboration just made me so giddy inside... like a little kid watching a favorite cartoon on Saturday morning so many years ago. Well done guys!

That was a quality intro. I love when these interesting youtubers get together and collaborate. It definitely makes for good entertainment.

When manual transmissions are a dying breed there's a special place in my heart for the wrx/sti, just cannot bring myself to dump all that money into such an old design. I'm holding out hope that 2021 refresh will be the one for me.

Omfg at the beginning I thought my RU-vid app glitch and was for reason playing a engineer explained video but showing ur channel

BEST INTRO YET. Love Engineering Explained.

I think it’s so interesting how personal preference plays such a big role on someone’s opinion over a car. While some say this car isn’t as engaging and fun as the type r or focus rs, many reviewers in England for example said the sti is such a characterful and analog experience and it’s amazing on back roads..... that’s why it’s important to really test drive a car before you choose one, that’s the best way to see what you like Great video though guys! Like always!

THIS is your best intro yet. I have thought it on some others, but this takes the cake!

At this point I’m so done typing comments about how good your intros are because I know I will run out of creative praises to say before you guys run out of creative intro ideas. You win. That tho definitely is the kinda classroom, classmates and professor I wish I had in college

This video is so enjoyable that I keep coming back to it over and over again

just wanna say that I only stumbled upon this channel two days ago and it is now one of my favorite car review channels on youtube. Also, I always wanted an STI but its pricing never really drops in my country 😢

Loved the intro Loved the STI review Adored the outro. You guys are kick Grass!

This has been my fave channel for a few months now. Keep it up guys!

Loving the collabs these days fellas. Keep up the great work.

"I just drew an EJ engine".... the OMG that intro, LMAO

I love the banter they have when they're in the car together!

i love you guys, no bias, these are the reviews we need

Best car reviews period!!! You guys are so much fun.

This aged well =)

Just got my 2020 STi, loving it since I've wanted one forever.

Mr. Fenske's special appearance was awesome. Good video again, Throttle House!

Love my 2020 STI. Here in Canada I was driving up quite a steep hill on a snowy day, no one was able to go up the hill but me. I still can't beleive how amazing the traction is. Always loved subies, i still cant beleive i finally bought one 😁

I bought the 2015 when it first came out. Track days, snow days, long road trips, and 80k trouble free miles. Family car. Track Car. Commuter car. U name it, this car does it. It’s a do all car. My son took it to college and he’s enjoying it as his daily driver. I love it !

I bought the '19 in March and adore it. Your review is spot on! it is a modern take on what made me love driving in the 90's and is a jack of all trades. but...It does have a lot of road noise that needs to be droned out with an aftermarket exhaust so you enjoy the deafening roar. Well done gents!

Yes what a cast! Absolutely jumped out of my seat when i saw all 3 of yall on the video.

This is an amazing car for the winter. I bought one 4 years ago. It puts a smile on my face every time. Simply awesome. It does what you ask of it. Control with confidence.

Funny how true this title ended up being. RIP STI!

You guys are killing these intros! Well done! I have a 2012 STI hatch - which has been a great car, especially in the winter. I knew when I bought it new back then that the engine was old. It's 7 years later and not much has changed there. Subaru needs to seriously up the power. 80 more hp would be good for a start. Better fuel economy would be nice too.

You guys always have the best intros! Love this channel

Bro these intros always make me smile

I have owned 2 of these in the past and it’s the best car I’ve ever owned… definitely looking into one now a days

I have to admit the EJ20 is a great engine especially for the WRX STI While I’ll miss it very dearly, I can’t wait to see what the new WRX STI will be like

Is it just me or the video quality has improved dramatically? Esp the shots from inside the car. The scenery outside almost feels surreal! As always, great vid guys!

ive gotta say since the beginning with the e46 and videos about swapping the diff - been a fan - videos are PRO level now! and entertaining ! awesome job!!

“It’s the same as sport mode, I think, but just a semitone higher” 😂👏

Maybe my favorite intro yet 😂

Epic intro as usual! Good job guys!

Awesome intro. Keep em coming!

Holly crap, Engineering Explained and Throttle House collaborate! Two of best channels working together, NOICE! Do more work together guys! PS: Blake Caliper, hahaha!

Finally! As a 2019 STI owner I was hoping you were getting a 2019 but this was worth the wait! Great opening joke about the EJ! Had me laughing!

i come for the intro's and stay for the reviews. Bravo lol

Ok you guys have solidly positioned yourselves as the intro kings by now! That was great! 😆

Cherry blossoms had significance to Samurai warriors in Bushido. Sakura continues to hold special importance to the Japanese.

I like the synthwave soundtrack 👍

Best intro. Winner of it all.

Your opening monologues kill me! Can’t wait to see your antics on TV or a movie.

Just picked up a 2019 STI back in July (ordered it in late April), and I love it. Been wanting one ever since they debuted in North America, and finally went ahead and grabbed one this year. Was debating waiting for the refresh, but since just about everything about is is a big unknown at this point, I went ahead and picked up the current generation. Would feel uncomfortable buying the first few years of a STI with a new engine, and on a new platform, anyway. Better to wait a few years to see what kind of problems pop up, and hopefully give Subaru time to address any issues.

LOVE THE INTRO 😂

You guys have the best intros!

Some really good filming and editing guys! Great job

You had me at, “this is the last iteration...”

"End of the Line, Pal" Oh if they only knew at the time

Bought my '19 STi and I love almost everything about it.

the intro made me smile from ear, to ear😁

Last of the EJ's will be a collectors item ..

I bought a new 2019 STI two weeks ago.. I am gonna keep it forever

I can't believe I just came across this one since I've been a Throttle House & an Engineering Explained fan for awhile. Two thumbs up... 👍👍

I love how RU-vidrs got together and make something like beginning of the video

Found your channel on r/cars and i somehow found myself watching everyone of your vids which i never do on anything else on reddit. So now i just subbed and watch every single one of your vids!

Cherry Blossoms represent change in Japanese culture. So when they made a newer version of WRX back in the day, they put some cherry colouring on it. 8:59

You guys make the best car videos!

Intro was Epic!🤣I Love this channel

I love my 15 STI, but.... it needs revamped hardcore!! The Tomei TI exhaust is a must for any STI owner, I have it on mine and fuuuuuuck. Perfect sound.

“Do you buy an STI in 2020 or just wait for the new one?” RIP to all the people who “waited for the new one” lmao

Love this!!, at first I was like wait did I click on a engineering explain video 😂😂😂

Instant like for engineering explained appearance

Some cars in that price range you mentioned like the Merc are just a whole different audience though. The driving experience is very numb in those cars, the WRX has always been a more raw experience. And even though these new ones are far more refined than what they used to be, they seem almost deliberately less so than their competition. And that's OK.

As the owner of an 09 STI hatch I can't imagine buying a 2020 sedan. I mean WHY? For an extra 5 horsepower and green brake calipers? Good God man, we've been waiting forever for a new gen STI. Its at least 5 years overdue!

I love my 2017 WRX STI Limited. Best car buy of my life! Excited for 2021!

Just got my 2021 sti today and i love it!

I'm missing the Mitsubishi Evo when I see this

So three years later and yes you should have purchased the 2020 STI 🫡

Knock knock Who's there? EJ Engine 🤷‍♂️

Very enjoyable review guys!!

That intro was gold.

Yo how do I break it to my wife that I just got an STI? 🤷‍♂️

Lol the torque dip on the BRZ FA engine curve.

I traded my ‘19 WRX limited in today on a ‘20 STI series.white. I think I like the FA motor just a little more and actually preferred the leather seats I had in the WRX too. Literally everything else seems nicer in the STI. They feel like 2 completely different cars with the same cockpit with the STI having nailed the experience of connecting to the road.

Legendary intro 10/10

For a second, I thought I clicked on the wrong video.

Never buy the first model year of a new car. Give them a year or two to iron out the kinks first. On the other hand, the 2020 STI is the very pinnacle of the current generation and would be a better buy right now imho

Ah man! Awesome cameo and yes it’s a relic worth of the Cretaceous period that engine!

That cold open is gold.

5:38 I swear right there this dude reminds me of war owl

ROFL @ "I just drew an EJ engine!"

Probably best intro

I almost thought I miss clicked the video.. Read the name again, and I'm like why is Engineering Explained ... OOOOOOOOOHHH THIS IS 🔥
