We talk today about the Subaru STI. We run through every generation of this Subie, (well, every generation that was sold here in the states anyway) and at the end of the video, we make a determination on what Ideal Cars thinks, is the Ideal Subaru STI.

2010 Special Edition had revised suspension, and decontented for lighter weight (4 speaker stereo, manual climate control, no heated seats or sunroof, etc). It got the JDM Spec C wheels and suspension. The slightly cheaper price was offset by dealer mark ups. A limited number were produced. This is the best STi to buy - if you can even find one. (good luck!)

In Australia the 2005 blob eye is the most sought after STi. The last to be manufactured with the 2.0L EJ207 engine with forged pistons and also had DCCD. Can go up to 450HP on stock internals, and run 10s quarter miles. EJ207s are higher revving engines too with 8000rpm redline.

A few inaccuracies here, particularly pertaining to the chassis codes. 04 STI was a GD chassis, not a GC. 02-03 wrx, along with the 04-07 wrx and STI are all GD chassis cars.

@The_michael_xavier 6 жыл бұрын

+Dee Heych what country are you in? I️m willing to bet that’s where the discrepancy is. Here in the states, the first model year of the gd chassis did not start until 2002 with the bug eye model 2.5rs and wrx. 2001 we did not have a wrx in the states, and our 2.5rs Impreza was still the previous chassis.

@deeheych1101 6 жыл бұрын

Im speaking about Impreza internationally. I am from the US, my Subarus are USDM. The chassis code for all US WRX and STI's until the end of 2007 was a GD. On the forums, we call them Body code/year, written like this "GD05" = 2005 Impreza, to be specific. WRX/TR/RA/STi are all Trim levels to the Impreza chassis. Trim level is not relevant when discussing the actually chassis codes. I understand you think my confusion is from 2001 when North America was still selling old stock GC's. Subaru could not import any more vehicles until current stock was sold, they made decision to extend GC sales/delay importation or GD's one year. It only happened in North America, whilst the rest of the world enjoyed GD's in 2001. With all that being said, I think its only fair to analyze such events internationally, or atleast the home market for the product, its just more accurate. Ive owned Subarus for 15 years, Ive had them in Super Street/DSport/Import Tuner. WFC#52

@@tl4581 The 06 has a longer 3rd gear, which is better for drag, and a little better for offroad too. Subaru Technica International differed the design of the trans so it would be better on rally tracks. The 06 is .2 seconds faster in a1/4 mile because of this

I’ve been to a lot of car meets and talked with other Subaru owners and not once have I heard anyone say the 04 was the OG 4. It came standard with a radio but as an option you could pay extra for it to be deleted 5. Every USDM STI came with DCCD 6. 4:23 that’s a picture of a WRX engine

But it's not for everyone, the ride is hard and rough, in hot weather it looses power due to hot air, had the power steering leaking twice which apparently is a manufacturing defect, and I burnt the clutch once though it was my fault cause I did "few" launches. I have an Invidia Q300, cold air intake and a tune only cause it is my daily.

Most of the newer 2015+ wrx/sti's that I see are driven by older people that get it because it is a modern looking car with modern upgrades. It has hill assist and the clutch is a feather compared to older models. I have a 04 wrx with 265K miles on it, still running strong. took my dad out for a drive and he ended up buying a 15 wrx. I think it looks like a hybrid camery/evo. It drives nice, rev hang is f*cking terrible, and looks like shit. Going back to "older people" buying that year, my dad is the perfect example. it is a "cheap" way to go fast and I feel like most people that buy these newer ones aren't into/aware of the subi cult and they never wave back, so I just stopped trying.

Jake Feltenberger I agree. I am an old dude right now, and do like a mix of sporty and comfort. Subaru did intentionally make the new models this way because majority of the people like their cars this way also (maximum sales). I know car enthusiasts dont like this, and I understand it sucks. I mean, all other car manufacturers make their car faster each year, and here we have the wrx/sti getting slower every time a new model comes out. But hey, sales is needed for any company to survive. That rev hang though, I do hate it with a passion. However, you will hate me for saying this, but I do appreciate the sporty, yet luxurious feel of the newer models. Chicks love to be in my car

1. "the wrx is the impreza but with a turbo and *_symmetrical AWD system_* " You do realize that they all had that AWD, right? 2. 1:25 did he just call that a gc? 3. just because the usa didn't get the older ones, doesn't mean that other people did. Like the UK and here in Australia. (the bugeye Sti and 22b and gc Sti) 4. Peanut eye? Come on. 5. 2:30 the GD chassis was from 2001 until 2007 (how do you have this many subscribers when you can't even get your facts straight?) 6. The 2006 wasn't the start of the hawkeye, the 05 was. 7. Of course the hawkeye had the same horsepower, it's the same chassis and engine 8. They all have dccd 9. The 09 Sti actually had stiffer suspension after people complained about the 08 being too soft (do you guys even know cars?) 10. 5:19 of course it's not grocery getter, the WHOLE point of the Sti is for enthusiasts. The Wrx is the best overall option, as it's more comfortable. 11. 5:57 it's not really as iconic to Sti. blue and gold actually goes back to the liberty (or legacy as you yanks call it). The colours came from their sponsor, a tobacco brand. Subaru just decided to stick with that palette. 12. IF YOU SAID YOU WEREN'T GOING TO DO THE 22B WHY IS IT IN THE *_THUMBNAIL?_*

Pat Davis 2403 04/05 cars are blobeye and 06/07 are Hawkeyes. The Hawkeyes started in 06.

@@King_Pin_Designs well actually no. I don't know if it's different around the world but in Australia they started in 05. And the blob started in 03. And the bug in 01.

Favourite STIS has to be the forester STI, since no one expects a wagon crossover to be that fast and well handling

04 is GD chassis not GC. GD started in 2001 and went to 2007 no matter where youre from. Also that black leather interior youre looking at in the Hawkeye was from a limited. they got rid of the blue and did all leather but that is a rare option to find nowadays so you will mainly find them with the blue interior but they do have minor differences over the 2004 sit.
