enjoyed your vid-nice job. You should have expanded a bit more on the 19-21 years though (type ra block, revised ecu tune, revised intake, & type ra's cat back). The 19-21 years will be sought after in the years to come imho.

Facelift/Series 2 has slightly different interior trim colouring too, along with thicker door glass+foam filled beam around windshield for lower noise. The front of the car was tweaked for better frontal collision performance. Cluster markings are different too.

The STI motor in stock form even the RA is still weak cat pistons. Now the trans is bullet proof for sure. The RA has slightly thicker skirting but for those wanting to make a lot of power go closed deck with forged internals.

Should I get a 2019 Sti just because it’s the last sti, or should I get the new vb wrx just because it’s the best engine wrx ever get ?

@carswithsepp 4 ай бұрын

Personally, I would choose the one you would enjoy owning more. I believe the VB WRX has a lot of good performance for the money, and it many ways outclasses the STI, but the VB WRX will be around for awhile with new models coming for the next few years. Whereas the STI is in limited supply now, and good condition ones getting rarer and rarer. They will increase in price in significantly over time and be gems for those who were able to buy one in the next couple years. Just my opinion tho! Either way, both are great options.

Type RA engine is not that much better then the regular EJ257, I would say 2018 to 2021 Limited fully loaded are the best ones, all the rest you can add or modify easy, I even seen people that actually like the front from 2015. For me was really important to have white red odometer 😅

@BentoRunner 4 ай бұрын

@@MsAkmc False. While the s209 sand Type RA sure are special. Overall the original STi models are exactly what they were intended to be. Detuned production versions of the race spec car which is required by the FIA/Rally organizations. The STI trans, DCCD, Brembos, and much more are a homage to its big brother rally car. None of which are available on the WRX. STi’s are cars you’ll see modified on track and rally courses. The S209 and RAs models are typically collectors cars and owners are hesitant to actually use them recklessly.
