Why BUY the 2019 Subaru WRX STi Series Gray? Type RA DNA - Raiti's Rides 

You are so very right about that!

I am so glad that you like this one!

@@RaitisRidessince you drive so many STIs it would have been nice to hear about the ride quality with the Bilstein shocks.

totally agree, better than 2020

Congrats! What color did you get?

I am so glad that you like this Series Grey! Thank you for sharing some love with Tom! I really want to buy this car!

You can go that route as well! This one is just a little more rare! Thank you for sharing your perspective!

Yep, you guys are getting screwed in Canada.

Being in the $40’s, it’s just too much for what it is man. As much as I love this car, I can’t justify paying that for a STI. Especially with the gamble of their engines. Just because you’ve owned three and got lucky, I just can’t. I have a friend at work, completely bone stock except lowering springs....30K miles....rod knock. Insane. I just can’t. This is way too common with these cars. I love the STI’s, but wish they’d change the motor.

$40K is too much for this car, but $33k, it’s a good deal for all the performances parts you’ll get.

@Harry Crisp aren't they changing it for the 2020 models?

Thanks for saying that! I am so happy to hear that!

So do I and I totally agree!

Congrats! You are so very right!

They are bother super nice!

You mean "series. Hyper blue" i test drove a highly modified 500hp one at a local illinois subaru dealer, holy smokes it felt like it was ripping my face off it dug ao hard, i bought a stock low mile silver wrx sti with 33k 2016 year for cheap all stock minus full perin exhaust no tune old dude drove it its literally in perfect condition ive had it 2 months and i love it, back to what you were saying tho. Yes the series.hyper blue is by far the best

Cameron Scott Hyperblue STI is the prettiest STI made so far. I’m biased cuz I own one. I love it soooo much. Sometime I just stare at when it’s parked cuz it looks so pretty. And the options it came with!! I have navigation stock where as this gray one doesn’t have Nav. Plus the blue stitching in the inside ...I can go on and on about my car.

SP Bizzy dude all the ones i was finding were rlly high miles and they were still asking a ton! Like 2016 with 55k for 33k when the silver ans black and white wrb etc. Were going fir 30 and 29k with 30k miles etc nonetheless congrats sick car add me on Facebook i have a 2016 sti all stock had a rs

Cameron Scott I paid $41K everything out the door for the 2016 Hyperblue Series STI with 13K miles on it. The first owner had it leased. Funny coincidence, the original owner lived in the same city I live (Irvine, CA) cuz the navigation still had his home address on it. I don’t think I’ll ever sell my STI. I have STI black body skirts all around (lip, side skirts, rear diffuser) and I get thumbs up and people commenting on my car at red lights.

goldengloves36123 thanks for the compliment! You are so right about wheel choices!

Congrats Amir! You did it right!

I am so glad that you loved this one! Thank you so much for watching!

Thank you so much for your continued awesome support! I wanted to bring it to the channel as soon as it rolled off the truck! I would love to track one of these against a non Series Grey to feel the difference. Thanks again for watching!

Congrats on the 2019 WRB STI! I feel the same was as you!

Thanks so much. Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for saying that I really appreciate it!

The scamjet tho

Thank you so much for sharing that info! Congrats on your new WRX! It is an amazing car!

Congrats on your decision! You are a lucky man! I really appreciate you saying that!

Thank you Brian for always having my back and saying such wonderful things! I love this color!

@@RaitisRides Thanks for bringing awesome content for us to enjoy! Keep up the great work buddy!

Thank you for being so encouraging!

That is one of the nicest things somebody has said to me today! I think you pointed out some great things! Thank you so much for watching!

I know that I am ready!

I totally saw that! I think there are only 50 copies.

If only they were smaller, and functional would be nice!

Raiti's Rides Hit the nail on the head dude! 🍻

Thank you sir!

Well we will see how this whole thing is going to pan out!

That is really awesome of you to say! Thank you for your awesome support!

Raiti's Rides I love your reviews and your passion and love for cars! I am a Subaru fan and owner. I share the same passion and love for Subaru specially the WRX STI. Keep up the good work!

I really appreciate all of that! Thank you for having my back and being on this journey with me!

That is probably the most interesting analogy I have ever heard for this engine! I see you are catching up on my STI reviews! ;-)

I totally agree with you! This car is STI is very unique!

That is so awesome of you to say! Thank you so much for your support and for being on this journey with me!

That has to be one of the best comments! Thank you so much for bringing a smile to my face and for your awesome support!

Raiti's Rides No prob, bud and thanks for uploading amazing content.

You are so very welcome!

Same here! I hope Subaru does not let us down!

You did very well! Great job!

WRX508 was it new 2018? Or used? Cause I can’t find a 19 sti for any lower then 35k

I totally agree with you! It really pops!

You bring up some excellent points! It is going to be interesting to see how all of this pans out! I am looking forward to the S209!

The two large vents at the front are fake.

I totally agree with you! t really pops off the screen!

That's coming next so stay tuned!

AGREED!

Thanks for sticking with us! it is such an incredible journey and I am so glad that you are part of it!

I am glad that you liked this one! I think one if the biggest things that sucks for 2018 owners is no access to Apple CarPlay & Android Auto.

We will see what the 2020 model is going to be like!

That really means a lot to me! Thank you so much for saying that! You know that I will!

No it's both!

As an sti enthusiast for many many years this is awesome news I always preferred it over the dark dark red that came on the 2015

I totally agree with you! I still mis my 2006 STi!

I am so tempted to buy it!

@@RaitisRides me to. I have a 17STI and trying to wait to trade in for the 2020 but the 2019s are really nice. At least it has a little stronger pistons now to

And the apple CarPlay is finally added!

I totally agree with you! Plus it looks different shades depending on how much sun there is!

I can totally understand where you are coming from!

I am so glad that you liked this one! Thank you so much for sharing your perspective!

I totally agree with you!

I totally agree with you!

I love all cars! Look over my channel and I think you would see how much variety there is!

Tat would of been a nice touch!

I totally agree with you Matthew!

There are still many people who want a no no-nonsense AWD turbocharged car with an olds school turbo feel. The steering in the STi is probably one of the most analog in steering feel. The next STi for 2020 is going to be big. I guess we will see!

You are so hilarious Philip! I totally agree with you on this beautiful STi! I was going to hold off on uploading because I know I have had other Subaru content but this one was fresh off the truck and only 1 of 250! I think 20K by January is totally doable! You know me, I'm just going to keep doing what I am doing! Thank you for your awesome dedication!

Daniel Locke I own an RA and the exhaust is too damn quiet. Really debating getting the STi cat back to get more out of that rumble.

ACCAW11 rumble?? Your car has 4 cylinders... better go for turbo noise

Stay tuned because I have a full in-depth review of a 2019 Camaro SS coming tomorrow!

Congrats on the new RS! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I am so glad that it had a happy ending!

Man I love my RS! I was close to buying a used 2015 sti but like you said the reliability isn't there at all. I have 0 regrets buying my RS, not only is it solid built, it will only appreciate because it's no longer in production ;) OH and it's rare to see where I'm from, love getting looks and smiles

Greg Cass congrats on your RS they are a ton of fun!

I'm glad you got out of this with the warranty, as it would suck if you had to spend a fortune on something that was not your fault. As it was explained to me, buying a used STI is like marrying a former prostitute - it's temping, and while it might work out OK, the end result is frequently more grief than joy. While any cars in this class are risky to buy used, the STI is probably the worst. The way some people drive them (lugging, not allowing oil to reach temp before exerting higher loads), [fail to] maintain them (not checking oil levels every other fill-up, using an oil that shears down resulting in insufficient bearing protection or not servicing these cars frequently), and [ghetto-ly] mod them (eBay parts, mods without changing maps, and returning to stock and selling after something goes wrong) is just insane. If someone buys a car with a used turbo EJ and they don't have a factory warranty, they should assume the car was abused and set aside about $7-10k for a new short block or more IMO as, for no fault of their own, the engine could take a huge crap with little warning due to how the car was treated by the previous owner. While a PPI with a compression and leakdown test can check for some of the issues EJs are prone to when not treated right by a previous owner, it's still not fully exhaustive, and I do not think most dealerships even do this before selling them used. I love mine, but for me to buy a used STI, it would have to be at least $15,000-$20,000 less than new for me to even consider it when factoring the engine's sensitivity versus how so many people treat their cars...

Thank you for sharing that awesome, well said, input and perspective!

Thank you so much for watching the video till the end! Trust me there are time I have busted out laughing! I like to bring a little bit of my sense of humor to my videos! I appreciate your support!

I love your comments! For me the 22b would be a dream to own and drive! I'm drooling on myself as I type this!

I think I am jinxed with this whole Jetta review. I went to go upload the movie files and they were all corrupted! So now I am back to square 1! Thanks for the kind compliment!

@@RaitisRides Really dam that's unfortunate, do you think you can try and review the car this coming week?🤔

I will see what I can do! My day job is really cramping my style and I am trying hard to balance it all out. I will try to get it done! I am so sorry about this!

Those are some great suggestions!

@@RaitisRides thanks sir👍👍

No problem!

I totally feel for you! I still love what the Type RA is all about!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and perspective! I appreciate you watching!

I am so glad that I could share that with you! They were borrowed from the Type RA.

That is a shame they are not selling this car anymore in Germany! The 2019 also has apple carplay and android auto.Thank you so much for watching!

@@RaitisRides Yes, whole Europe wont get the STI from now, since Subaru is a very small niche manufacturer here and emission regulations are too strict, so they had to cut out the STI to match fleet emission values. I would definately get my hands on one of the Final Editions if I did not own a wonderful Mk2 Focus RS with the capable 5 pot turbo.

Now you made me very jealous! I would to review a Mk2 Focus RS!!!

@@RaitisRides When ever you visit Germany, make sure to visit Cologne - I'll invite you to drive and review my cars (Focus RS Mk2 & Fiesta ST Mk8) ✌️

That would be awesome! Fingers crossed, hopefully I can make it out there soon!

Thank you for the great compliment. If anything the stronger pistons will be better for mods. It also has a revised third gear an remapping of the ECU. Let me know if you have anymore questions!

Thank you so much for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!

@@RaitisRides i love Subaru's I'm thinking about picking one up my accord coupe has a similar color.

I can totally understand where you are coming from! I really think if the bottom was glass black it would get scratched to hell! It actually doesn't look to bad in person!

@@RaitisRides you made me want to trade in my Prius to get this Subi. But I got a slow car to keep me out of trouble lol. Thank you for all your fun posts :)

Sometimes it's better to be safe than sorry!

It is a tough decision! I say jump on this if you can!

So do I! I wish I would of bought one!

You and me both!

It's as low as it's going to go. The Type RA has a lower center of gravity, because of the carbon fiber roof!

@@RaitisRides hopefully the can change the drive feel then, I felt like I was driving a truck when deciding to purchase a brz or sti

I think you will be really surprised!

Cross your eyes and it's silver! It a very unique color and depending on how much day light there is it can look so different.

I guess there is only one way to find out!

I appreciate that David!

Thank you sweetie! This is a really attractive setup!

Shut up you two

Don't hate the player, hat the game! ;-)

Thank you so much for sharing your input and perspective!

Closer to 250 wheel, actually. The 305/310 are crank figures - these are not high output cars in stock form, although they become much more lively around 300 WHP. And it's an interesting comparison. A SRT Challenger is a properly-built modern muscle car - it looks good, sounds great, and is damned good at what it is designed to do. The STI is essentially a car you can take bone stock to a track that isn't a straight line and have an absolute blast driving it right at the limit, take it home driving some dirt roads in the process, and then put Hakkapeliittas on it and outperform just about every truck or SUV on the road in snow/ice with a basic understanding of driving stick in low-traction situations. You can do things in one that you can't do with the other and vice-versa. Comparing the two is kinda like trying to equate a C63 S with a Cayman just because they can be similarly-priced...no?

Thank you for your great commentary! You really hit the nail on the head!

Zac Paul i see your point 👌

luvluca toni i know but you can get a better car for that kind of money and more power just saying

Ryan D HA Raiders suck

I hope Subaru delivers! I have my fingers and toes crossed!

yes but i'm always gonna root for them not some bandwagon fan.

i hope so too lol. i have a 2018 wrx and love it though! if the refresh delivers i'll wait until the 2021 model comes out. always stay away from the first release.

Ryan D I’m just fkn around... I’m a Raiders and Bengals fan lol... I’m used to mediocrity...

Wow, that is really awesome of you to say!

Don't hold your breathe!

Thank you so much for your fantastic support! I really appreciate your help and for promoting Raiti's Rides! Thank you for being on this journey with me!
