Do you buy a New 2019 Subaru WRX Raiu Edition? Or do you buy a really, REALLY used one? This is the question we hope to answer today, when we spend some time in our own 2006 WRX and compare it to the special edition WRX Raiu! HUGE THANKS to RegularCars for making the trek to Canada.

For those of you debating: Yes, we really did buy this WRX in Ontario for $5,000. It was a screamin deal, and we jumped on it very fast when it popped up. In fact we had people calling us the evening we bought it to offer to buy it off of us for more than we paid. Is it rare to find one for this much? Yes. Is it possible? Yes. Don't forget that after we bought it we needed to work on it to get it road legal. Needed a CV Axle, a handbrake rebuild, a new airbag etc. (Also the alternator is going and the other CV axle is pooched), But either way it was an amazing deal, and it's possible to find them this cheap. In fact there is another video on this channel from a while ago with an unmodified Bugeye WRX that was purchased for $6,000. So keep your eyes open! Happy hunting and thanks for watching!

@@dilbertresvicksonburg4273 the rear lsd in 02-07 wrx's is nothing to write home about. It does make for some nice snow doughnuts I guess. I personally found it very hard to lose rear traction in my 2011 or 2015 WRX on dry roads. The 11 WRX open diff was definitely noticable in the snow with traction control off. The 15 has "trac" mode which let's you have stability control with no traction control which still gives you brake vectoring which is nice.

You guys hit so many great points. I think the Hawkeye looks good in some colors (especially black) and not so good in others. But, having projector headlights is great. Also to note, the wind buffeting when the sunroof is in tilt makes it basically unusable. The new ones look like a family sedan with a scoop. However, less busted knuckles.

Similar thoughts here. Recently made the switch from an 02 bugeye automatic to a 2015 cvt. Rust and future maintenance helped make the decision. The bugeye is a more raw drive, but still fun. The current generation is a 'grown up' wrx (both seats fold down! no dashboard cupholder!).

My Fiesta ST has rev hold as well, and it's slightly annoying. However I have figured out that if you don't let of the throttle completely (leave a light pressure) it will trip the throttle sensor enough to not hold revs, but not enough to actually rev the engine, and the RPM will drop. So as I shift, I'll leave my foot on the gas and the revs will drop between gears. It's a wierd hack, but it works.

Had myself a 04’ 2.0 for almost 8 years and absolutely loved it! Snow, street, anywhere! They really went down hill after that in my opinion! There is a reason Ken Block went to Ford and I first hand agree! The Focus Rs for price and whp there is no comparison! Even the 2wd Focus ST just left my WRX behind in the past! Subaru need to go back to the way it was when they did not even offer a radio in the STI! Absolutely a rally car offered to the public! Leave the luxury to the other companies and give us a machine again instead of this crap you are pushing now for way to much money! Just ask Ken! And they keep callin it the big eye which ended in 03’ that’s the Eyebrow is or the Hawkeye! Get it straight! Bug eyes have round headlights and shortback seats!

Ken left Subaru not because of a problem with Subaru, but because his ultimate goal was to rally for Audi. Your whole arguement based around ken leaving for ford is silly at best.

I have had a 2006 Subaru wrx for 7 years .... I honestly haven't had any major issues lol I love that thing. Best car for Ontario winter ....

I love the Hawkeye and I'd have to say that getting an unmolested Hawk would be worth it. For the difference in cost you could make it a LOT faster and better performing than the Raiu. I don't think the Raiu is worth the cost though it looks nice. I put $15k in my engine and suspension on my 2015 STI and would love to have found a Hawk and made that into a track car instead. Tracking my car makes me a bit nervous. Good vid.

16:44 at this moment Alex talks with a british accent; a mistake many americans/canadians are moments away from making when they spend enough time conversing 1 on 1 with an englishman/woman without hearing someone else speak in an american/canadian accent 😂😂.

I was fully convinced the old one would get the nod until the end. All of the Hawkeye's issues just add to the character, while the issues with the Raiu are just annoying. And car enthusiasts tend to prefer older models because they claim to be more pure. Personally, working on an old, used car sounds like a headache.

The rev hang and the electric steering are just awful in my '16 WRX. I hope the next gen fixes both without requiring a tune and aftermarket steering rack. Should've bought the STi.

@the.koreancowboy 5 жыл бұрын

I have no regrets with the STI after owning a 2017 for 2 years. No issues despite a protune and stage 2 mods and flexfuel.

@christopherdouglas8471 5 жыл бұрын

K G I’m in total agreement. Should not require an aftermarket fix (tune) to eliminate rev-hang. Subaru need to find a way to correct this at the factory build, and still maintain emissions compliance. Deal breaker for me. And, I would comment in general, with so many new entries in the segment, the WRX is no longer a given as the go-to car.

@SmartMass 5 жыл бұрын

@@christopherdouglas8471 We'll see if they botch it again with the next generation. I don't think Subaru has ever felt the WRX was worth investing in and I don't see that changing with the current crossover crazed climate. Minus the fuel economy hit, I think the STi is the car for me.

@whatiwant8898 5 жыл бұрын

The electric steering in the WRX isn't much worse than the steering in the STI. The STI is slightly more communicative, but the WRX rack isn't bad by any means and if you want it to feel closer to the STIs just spend $50 to get the metal steering rack bracket, which replaces the rubber one, and all the slack is removed. The rev hang is also only there because of emissions requirements and even the STI has it alongside the new Civic Si, Golf R, Focus RS, etc. They all have rev hang due to emissions requirements.

@@whatiwant8898 I'd recommend driving them back to back again re: the steering, but I'm happy to disagree. I've done the dampener swap and it unfortunately still feels like a video gaming wheel to me. In a similar vein I also prefer the rod vs cable shifter. Yes, the rev hang is there for a reason, I'm not sure why you're parroting the comment stated in the video; it detracts from the stock driving experience and it would be a quality of life benefit if an alternative was found without resorting to the aftermarket.
