Very poor vehicle, Not worth 40k that’s for sure

Lmfao you actually are hoping? Subaru sucks and has for a long while

@@Frisky_Panda I think Subaru has reached the limit of their Boxer engines without substantially reducing their already questionable reliability. They have remained almost unchanged since 2004.

@@sarcasticundertones3513 Actually the FA and FB series engines are quite a different animal. The cars in this video don't use the EJ from the years prior.

@@brandonpetrilla1731 I easily think the new WRX is better than last gen. I have owned both, have you?

and cheaper gas too!

@@ChristianRunsNY You still can't run 88 in a new WRX? I figured that was a thing of the past once the STI ended its production.

It is the best tuned WRX out of the box…who cares if the Outback is slightly faster with 0-60…Outback will not be faster than WRX around the track…

@@zcmdzpp127 yeah I'm getting the wrx for the 6mt and handling.

im pretty sure the Manuel wrx is already faster

Wouldn’t be an issue if you got the right transmission

The Ascent gets better mpg and is a 3rd row SUV...

Legacy is nice, perfect size!

I did the same thing but comparing it to the STI, only $1,500 difference, got a great deal for the Legacy XT, I tried both and I realized I was the only one to know how to drive manual and the car was too small for my wife and I; I went home with a Legacy Touring XT with no regrets; it is so comfortable and it has an incredible drive everywhere you go.

I got the legacy too, feels like a stealth WRX

Good decision. Makes sense to me.

I'd happily take on that job for free

I will smoke your xt

I have a 24 years old Japanese Legacy B4 RSK it is way faster than the new Forester, Levorg, WRX and Justy.

@@skippylegrandgourou2069 Agreed, my 2002 WRX wagon with the NA 2.0L Turbo walks just about every modern non-sti subaru all day.

@@caponwow It doesnt tho. I have both the 02 and the 22. My 02 is modded and the 22 still beats it stock.

What do you mean NA turbo?

@Bryon Bradshaw it’s 1000 miles that’s what my 22 wrx

@Bryon Bradshaw Lucky on the November date Ordered mine two weekends ago and was told January

The Legacy Sport has the 2.4 turbo this year and a sport tuned suspension.

And a manual gearbox!

That would be one tall wagon. The current Legacy doesn't handle well. The Legacy/Outback is now more SUV/Crossover rather than sporty sedan/wagon when it comes to dynamics and handling. That's pretty much the reason why the Levorg has replaced the Legacy outside of Canada and the US.

No question the Outback is a crossover thanks to its raised suspension, but suggesting the Legacy is tall? It's much lower to the ground than the Outback, has less ground clearance than some past versions of the WRX, and looks like a regular car, as would a wagon variant if one still existed. The current Legacy has a surprisingly nimbler chassis than the last generation and is mainly held back by comfort/efficiency-focused OEM tires. The sport-tuned suspension on the newly revised Sport trim could unlock even more potential if Subaru was serious when they said "sport-tuned" (we'll have to wait for reviews). But driving an Outback back-to-back with a Legacy, the Outback's higher center of gravity and taller sidewalls are very apparent. A proper Legacy wagon would cater to a very different niche. Too bad they wouldn't sell it in the U.S. since non-lifted wagons are ignored by consumers here.

My 24 years old Legacy B4 RSK is faster than the current legacy and the chassis is amazing. Plus it is a manual with a twin turbo.

Man I feel the same with my JDM Legacy B4 RSK but so much fun trolling ppl on a basic car when you have 330 hp under the hood.

I have a 2005 Outback XT manual limited that I lifted so it’s a nice fun car and it’ll kick me into the seat >3,000rpm all stock 2.5L

A great idea for a project car

This is why I'll never buy the 6th generation. I love my 2018 3.6R. way too much plastic on the newer models.

The Legacy was basically replaced by the Levorg wagon outside of North America.

Just bought an outback wilderness about a week and a half ago, love it so far

@@tylergates772 what color?

Just bought an OBW a month ago and I’m throughly impressed with the power.

It’s crazy that a heavy suv can feel sporty in way lol. We have a 19’ outback 3.6r with off roading mods and it can be aggressive it has a catback exhaust it’s sounds crispy in the freeway.

Thank you, I actually bring up all of those things in my full review. The manual clearly states the car is designed and rated for premium only. Almost all new cars will have knock sensors but even in the owner's manual, subie says only use regular if premium is not available. And they even warn that you may still get knocking that will require you to get premium anyway! Mazda's 2.5 turbo is an example of an engine that can truly run on either octane (it has performance ratings for either). Also you have the boost ratings wrong, it dropped from 14 or 15 psi to 12, not 25. And that doesn't mean that it will run on premium or regular as the GTI is RATED for regular and has over 20 psi. It's not my height, this is certainly less spacious than a Subaru impreza, honda civic, Hyundai elantra, vw jetta. It's not to an unpractical degree as I literally stuffed myself in the trunk for the full review, but it is less spacious than the cars you mentioned.

@@Realistick Interesting... Thanks for getting back to me. I read the manual thoroughly and took notes in Excel even on all the items which I thought were noteworthy (super nerdy). I appreciate you getting back to me and correcting me on the other details.

Sleepers are awesome👍

What have you done with the outback wilderness?

This WRX is the best WRX of them all so far. This is coming from me, who has owned them all and currently owns 3 different ones. I also just tuned my 22 WRX with only a catback and im sitting at 323Whp. So the engine is much better for sure these days.

I think it’s perfectly acceptable in the 30k to 37k range, above that I’d agree

It ended in 2021

It's like they not trying. It needs to be a 8 speed automatic or manual. With 320 hp and 300 torque at base. GT should be 400 hp and 380 torque.

Actually releasing a video on the Legacy Sport here soon. Great car, nowhere near as sharp around corners but still a hair quicker to 60. I really want to test an automatic WRX more thoroughly before I do full comparison!

@@Realistick Kool look forward to checking it out.

I might make a KZfaq short of that because that Subaru dealer I usually work with got in a 21 onyx and 22 wilderness!

@@Realistick Yes please.

Negative. The cvt cannot handle more power. There’s already data showing the current power is too much.

The car is handicapped with a severely detuned powertrain, Which is why they stopped the STI, They didn’t want to ruin that car and it’s legacy, Them putting an FA24 in an STI when it’s used in the Ascent/Outback and sadly the WRX would have been a huge slap in the face to enthusiasts.

No, they actually got rid of the rev hang! I made a full review on the base mt model not too long ago if you want more details

The wagon is just surprisingly that good.

No, that’s what I tried here and all it did was forgo the fake shifts to make it get a better time!

Too legendary for North America but i like the thought!

That’s interesting and makes sense but im also a little doubtful as there are many cars that offer a sport mode like the GTI that get much better mileage. Even the Forester Sport has sport sharp and it doesn’t hurt that either for the epa.

In the interest of not being one of those commenters who make unsubstantiated claims on the internet, I've been trying to provide one of the sources for my info, but KZfaq keeps rejecting my comment if it includes a link. To find it, search "CNET 2015 Subaru WRX: Cornering champ and commute-ready." That was from when the last-gen WRX debuted with the CVT and SI-Drive (then, as now, the 6MT did not have SI-Drive). The author attributes the MPG ratings to a Subaru spokesperson's explanation of EPA rules. I think the biggest reason SI-Drive hurts fuel economy more than your typical sport mode is that the more aggressive modes don't allow the transmission to upshift to its highest ratio. It would be like driving a 6MT on the highway but never going above 4th or 5th gear...fuel economy would take a significant hit. As for why the Forester doesn't seem to suffer the same problem, I'm not sure why but there are several possible explanations. The CNET article says the EPA offered a burdensome alternative that Subaru didn't use for the WRX but that might have made more sense for a volume model like the Forester where fuel economy matters more. Since the WRX is low-volume to begin with and most WRXes are sold with manuals, the CVT's poor EPA ratings probably have a negligible CAFE effect. Also, Subaru's literature says all Foresters come with some version of SI-Drive, and if it's like the WRX, Intelligent mode is the only one that lets the transmission use its highest ratio. Meaning all trim levels would be similarly affected.

As I said in the video, and the thumbnail, the difference here is negligible but the fact that it is so similar just points out some flaws with the current wrx auto and using the premium gas tune.

The new mt wrx should come close to that but you really have to drive like mad man to get it from what I've heard. I drove a 2020, acceleration felt identical imo

@@Realistick the 2022 requires a shift into 3rd to hit 60, so should have nearly half a second slower 0-60 time.

No, I broke the camera in the middle of shooting this 😵‍💫 The main talking portion of this one took a lot of patience to complete because the camera kept shutting off. You will be able to tell when the new camera comes out!

That’s true for the WRX STI but not the regular WRX

Yes.

Subaru doesn't offer the extended warranty, it's a third party company that does that (a dealership will usually sell the warranty for them). It depends on your budget and priorities. The crosstrek has a good reputation and is usually cheap to fix so I would personally hold off on an extended warranty unless I was under budget. If you keep cars for over 6 years and really value peace of mind, go for it!

@@Realistick thank you so much. Really appreciate your response.

@@mea.c of course, good luck!

This is true but with similar features, it’s quite more pricey.
