I own a 2018 STI and it’s by far the most raw and engaging driving experience I’ve ever had in a car. It’s a dying breed and those fortunate enough to own one in these golden days should enjoy them while they are still around!
The trunk flies open like that because it originally came with the wing. Wing weighs about 14 pounds. Orignal owner did a trunk swap and forgot to swap out those torsen weights.
I hear ya! It was a fun time ripping this thing around for the afternoon. These make great daily drivers for the northeast. I hope you enjoyed the review as well.

I really love the look of this car! The dash is super super cool. I swear the back trunk seems so dangerous to close 🤣🤣🤣 very nice car interior is clean and I agree that the look of it is badass. I was just wondering when u might upload again! Have a great Christmas and new year man
It's a handsome car! Yeah that trunk was absolutely insane lol. Thanks as always for thinking of me, and for checking out the video! I hope you have a great holiday with your family. Merry Christmas, and happy new year to you too good sir!
Hey there! So, after doing a decent amount of research, I will admit that your statement appears to be correct. Most of the information I found seems to say that the main component that is affected by the drive mode change is the throttle response. Although, I’m not trying to brag or anything like that, because I know I am not the most experienced person at all. However, I must say that I have a decent amount of driving experience for my age. Considering how many miles I’ve put down on the road, and how many different types of cars I have driven in my 29 years. In that moment, I 100% felt a noticeable difference in the weight of the steering. It might’ve been speed related (if the STI has speed sensitive steering), or it literally might’ve just been placebo. However, I know that I definitively felt a difference in how the steering felt between sport sharp and intelligent mode. I honestly feel like there has to be some truth to that based on how clear it was to me in that moment. If you can research and find a credible source that says otherwise, please let me know. I’m actually very curious to find out what the truth is, and if there is any different effect at all. Whether it’s through the drive modes, or speed sensitive steering.

I agree! I also did a review on a brand new 2022 WRX. I felt like it drove very well, and it seemed like it good, practical car overall. I don’t absolutely hate how it looks, but it certainly does not look as good as this generation, especially in the STI trim.
Hmmm interesting. To be perfectly honest, what I might have been hearing was just the turbo spooling down, or even something with the air intake, and I might have just mistakenly said it was the blow off valve. Listen closely in the video exactly where that comes up. I let off throttle, and I hear a little “pewww” Does your car sound like that too? Now I am genuinely curious lol
😅😅😅Technically c-diff is the name of the bacteria that causes that 🤢🤮hahaha thanks for catching that. I've always thought that was hysterical ever since this generation came out in 2015.

Yeah, they did… At least wheels are one of the easiest things to change on a car! Just have to make sure the offset is correct, and you can get some new wheels on the car in a few minutes! You can also probably get older STI wheels for cheaper than what you could sell those for too. Thanks so much for checking out the video as well!
