Here's Why the 2017 Subaru WRX is Absolutley AMAZING! 

lmao, solved that problem!

packerfan43042 do you use premium?

yes, i was really surprised how good the gas mileage was for a AWD car. During the break in period I was able hit 30mpg during a couple tanks.

packerfan43042 nice! I'll have to let my buddy know who let me review his WRX

Im averaging 29 mostly highway. Stay out of boost most the time

For 45 mph road and 20 mins drive when I try to drive like grandma I get 42 mpg lol!

+Ty W wow! Congrats bro! I love the car 🚗

Ty W I like the clinks and clanks :)

John's S2K Thanks man! Yeah it's a ton of fun :)

John's S2K I hunted down my rattle and fixed it. Passenger door window switch and lock. Took off door panel and used electrical tap to secure switched firmly

Mike Thanks! I will have to look into that. My rattle is also in the passenger side door.

My car rattle's too but with far less horsepower

Preparation H yeah it's amazing

+Andrew B. Thank you very much

+Jeff Larson Thank you! I couldn't agree more, what a fun car. Very solid

@@TorqueJunkies Just bought my first WRX and it will be delivered by thursday. 2017 premium 6 speed. Alot of fun even though I only drove it on a long test drive. Super excited.

Great car 🚙

+Porkchop Jefferson nice! I love the limited beautiful interior

+Drive315 yeah the lag is annoying but it's so fun!

Torque Junkies true! It might be my next car since i live in upstate NY. Either wrx or a 2012 or 2013 audi a6 3.0T, i like those too

Drive315 ahh the A6 is beautiful

I did go with this over a GTI. I cross shopped them for almost 6 months lol

@@Drive315 hey a fellow upstate New Yorker what did you wind up getting?

I’m thinking Hawkeye STI or 2015+ wrx so idk what to get I need good mpg but also good performance hp-tq

28-30mpg per tank?!

Did you lose a lot of low end torque and pull after the stage 1 tune? Does it make you give up most of the low end power and add it to the top end to even it out? Do you go from really good pull at the bottom and none at the top to just a decent pull all the way?

Janell DiMattina Thank you!

Torque Junkies is a

+Condor1970 Very true! Love the car but my God it is Noisey! Lol

+LastHumansGarage yeah I checked, it does

Torque Junkies where is the button?

Still have to use like 93

Premium. We just picked one up.

Brian Stanley I didn't lol, you're the second person to say that haha

Jason Bourne hahahaha! When I edit my video for this week I'll make sure to put a beer emoji every time I say I mean lol

Brandon the Great oh I see, that should be standard

Wth where is my trunk button? I have a '16 limited. I can only open it via the remote or the button inside the car. Or is the trunk button only on the '17 limiteds?

Brandon the Great good question

RocketsonDeck there's a trunk button next to the license plate light on the trunk lid and there's a button in the car next to the steering wheel. I have a '16 Limited. Hope this helps!

Brandon the Great I checked mine and I don't have a button on the trunk. That's so weird

Hahaha! That's my favorite part!

@@TorqueJunkies I ended up leasing one lol. A 2018. I like it but kinda wish i didn't get one. For one, it's slow. 2, it has terrible gearing. You're constantly changing gear. If you're in the wrong gear, you bog. The car makes a shit ton of noise. Tire noise, cabin noise (little rattles already for a 2018) and the engine noise too. It's not a good sounding engine. Sounds like a vacuum cleaner with some pebbles inside it. The only thing is that it was good to have last winter so i look foward to using it again this winter. And also it gets good MPG. So even with the shitty gearing, i still manage about 26mpg both city and highway driving combined. The good news is that i have 2 years left on my lease, i don't think i'm keeping this car. I hope subaru puts out a DCT for the next generation wrx. Then i'm getting that.

Chris I mean they’re pretty much made for aftermarket mods. And get a better exhaust, even just an axel back, and it brings out a better grunt. Also if you do a stage 1 or up tune it helps with the shifting and rev hang and all that. If you leave it stock you prob won’t like it as much unless you’re a subie enthusiast. And idk about slow.. I mean it’s obviously not the fastest car ever but that low end torque is really nice to take off. I’ve raced plenty of people on the highway and beat and/or kept up with most of em and mine was just stock. Idk I’ve always loved subie’s growing up since I’ve been around em all my life cause of other people having em.

BLACK05GO1 that might be true but there aren't many times I'm going over 80mph anyways. Acceleration is more useful for everyday driving.

Both are still faster than 95% of cars here in the midwest, even on the interstate. The STI in particular is no slouch above 80. Lets be real though... no one needs to be racing on the highway much above 80 because it's irresponsible.

BLACK05GO1 stock tune from factory is pretty conservative. With some bolt ons and a pro tune. these WRX can put down some good power.

The small turbo and crap tune are the reasons for that. A tune (Off the shelf or otherwise) will help with the weak top end. Also the stock Boost Control Solenoid sucks. A better aftermarket replacement is about 150 bucks.

The stock tune is garbage, and I am convinced that it hinders the WRX stats. I am riding stock for the warranty, but cannot wait for the day I get tuned.

mavsman 7 oh man! That is a tough one! I'm biased towards the GTI and I love how dynamic the GTI in the fact that it does everything well. However as far as performance the WRX is hard to beat. Honestly I'll go with the GTI

He got the gti in black and then posted 5 things he hates about it . Wrx doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not. Gti is just Mexican and without long term reliability . Only transmission is from Germany . Wrx is all Japanese .

VW? No Thanks. Ask people who work on cars for a living....none of them will tell you that want a VW over a Subaru.

Josh Bigornia check out indivia. It's a great exhaust upgrade for it

Josh Bigornia nameless muffler deletes!! Sounds amazing!

Josh Bigornia if all you are looking for is sound. an axle back muffler delete is all you need. i am looking to get one for my 17 WRX.

Thanks guys i'll look into it, really appreciate it

Josh Bigornia I recently did a Borla catback and it sounds amazing.

nickkm 1 This. Rev to 5k, dump clutch, shift 1st at redline hold 2nd till 60. If you dont stretch 2nd and shift to 3rd, it'll do in 5.5

Thehuman106 No, it has a proper clutch and 6 speed h pattern gearshift lever.

Since this video, I did upgrade.

josh cline I just bought a lavelier mic 🎤 should take care of the wind problem

Jean-François Watier lol yes I do

+enonzero I know, my mic sucked. Check out my latest video though. New mic and perfect sound

I know, I corrected that. Thanks for the input!!!

More HP? Name one other car thats only 25k new that has 268hp lol You just don't know how to drive it right. Don't know how to hold your boost through the shifts. Idk what you expect from a 25k car, its not a Hellcat. For the price its pretty quick.

Drive a POS Dodge Neon then

Gay

Well, not in the same category, congrats on the 4 series, super nice car

I work with tons of different cars every day and everyone in our shop of 70+ people HATES BMW's...just sayin...good luck with that.

lol comparing a car in the 30's to a car in the 40's! My 2018 wrx was under 30 btw.
