When it comes to road-worthy rally cars, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better alternative than the Subaru Impreza WRX STi!
It may have first been released way back in 2004, but let’s be honest, given the latest Subarus have been pretty boring, you need to travel this far back to find one that’s worth reviewing!
But does it still stand the test of time? Mat drove one of these when it was first released, but will he still be as impressed as he was 16 years ago? Stick with him for his latest review to find out!

Really enjoyed this vid, thanks! My vote for best ever Scooby is the blob-eye Spec C Type RA. Mechanical rear LSD, ball bearing twin scroll (factory 22psi), quick rack, factory lowered w adjustable dampers, much lighter, much stiffer, etc. The greatest "drivers" impreza imo, the last before electronic driver aids. Biased, because I own one of the 300 that were ever made :)

@17473039 2 жыл бұрын

The adjustable dampers were a STI pink catalogue item and NOT standard. Only S202, S203 and S204 newage had adjustable dampers from factory. Not even the RA-R had adjustable dampers be default (I've seen 2 RA-R's now both had standard red struts) I'd argue the S202 is the most hardcore car as it was based off the lightest Spec C (The Type RA Spec C bugeye) but with every STI pink catalogue box ticked, PLUS the titanium exhaust system... The later S203 and S204 were base STI cars with a roof vent and full pink catalogue, and so were actually really heavy.

That was ace. My old Mk 1 Impreza Turbo 2000 is my favourite car I've ever owned (1998 model bought in around 2001). Not all-singing, all-dancing like the STi but it was still an absolute hoot to drive.

Can't beat older cars. (pre 2006) Pure raw driving. No fancy driving "aids". Subarus are amazing once you look after them. The drive makes up for the plastics. I've a 1996 1.6 and it's the basic model but still so much fun! And loud. Watch the heavy boot lid though. Not fun when it falls and tries to chop your head off when you're rooting in the boot.

Theodore Deverell Well I own a 2004 STi in the states and have since you guessed it, 2004. Let me educate you. The 6 speed in the STi was co-developed with Porsche and reinforced to handle twice the factory horsepower. Think Mat is right, try some research.

@theodoredeverell3894 4 жыл бұрын

@@mileslumpkin9500 I mean. I cba to do any research but I feel like the specs between US and UK are different. Also, more importantly, many subaru gearbox rebuilders quote that STI and WRX transmissions both fail similar amounts in their line of work. I learnt this from a Gears and Gasoline video on Subarus. Also, i didn't mean any hate towards the WRX as they are v cool cars. But just because you own one doesn't mean you need to be so aggy. I was just quoting what Mat said.

I Have the Exact same colour and spec subaru as this one ( 2005 Model) Had it for 5 Years . The feeling you get when driving it can only be expressed the way Matt was laughing and giggling when its on Song in the video, I could really understand why he was doing that!. Its a truly amazing machine in this day of anodine hyper fast hot hatches with no character or feel!
