I wanted to love and buy the WRX but OMFG the interior design and controls are worse than a Chinese import.. Cheep Nasty and Hidden in software! So I went back to a Mazda :)

Have a 23 premium. Owned it for about 8 months now. My two biggest complaints are exactly what you mentioned. The turn signals and having to look at the screen to adjust anything. The turn signals still drive me INSANE!! and sometimes adjusting stuff has my eyes off the road for a few seconds. Love the car overall though!

How many gallons of coolant to refill?

I do have a VB WRX, top level trim (different in Canada) but with a manual, in that amazing orange colour. It's been great for our family, and adverse weather use. It sticks like glue, spacious and comfortable, and fun to drive. Unmodified yet, but maybe one day.

Great review though I believe most of these features result in a lazier driver, not paying as much attention to the driving task as one should. Of course in this day and age where people find it impossible to put down their phone while driving, it is likely to result in fewer accidents.

My only complaint about this is that you got a VB with a CVT 😂 I absolutely love my VB is it perfect? No it isn't but for the price and aftermarket support it has there's nothing that can't be fixed. Tired of all the " Things I hate about my VB " videos. Get rid of it then or buy something else lol

Just do like the old timers put a manual transmission in your car😊

The number 1 way you make it last is to rent a storage and put it in their .😊

So only thing noted is that if you buy a AOS v3 after 2020ish it comes with different ports and some of these steps aren't used, such as pulling the drive and passenger side air lines off the block, which is very much not fun to try to get back in

FYI - I stored my car under a car cover and the headliner separated from the heat build up. I then did a tarp with moving blankets not realizing that the now rainy environment would cause my clear coat to completely blister where the blankets got wet. Car ports or structures that don't touch the car and allow air are best and cheaper than a clear coat redo...

No one ….. Americans

I owned the 22vb before I traded to a 2020 sti... I echo your gripes. Worst of all is the infotainment, in -25c or colder winters it is abyssmally slow.

You should look into doing an STI transmission/drivetrain swap. IT's the only way for you to safely push a ton of HP through it without the transmission committing sudoku.

Thanks so much, I finally finished this project after years of procrastinating

My screen failed and it took a month for me to figure out what to do. How am I go without any climate controls for a month.

No…. Put 11,000 on it in about 9 mos and tbh sometimes wished I was driving the minivan home which we now have replaced with a new Acsent onyx limited. Then I was offered almost 7,000 more than I bought it for new and we were doing some additions to the new home so I think I made the right choice in selling it. But man I miss that car. I will get another WRX for sure but will be a year or two currently. I actually like the watch CVT and I was actually pondering getting a CVT in the new one or going for another six speed manual, which is why I pay attention to your videos.

Excellent review 👏…..I’m now thinking to pick the GT trim ….rather than MT. My commute is a pain for a MT

I’m the guy that came out and bought some exercise equipment from you and I ended up buying a 21 STI and I’ve actually been thinking about buying an older Toyota for a runaround and buying another new WRX and your videos are really helping me.

Unfortunately the stock manual transmission can't handle much more power, which you touched on when mentioning warranty claims. I went through it with my 2011 WRX and swore off Subaru manual transmissions that weren't Aisin-designed (BRZ and STI are the only qualifiers). The spare tire is probably due to cost and warranty claims as well. Subaru's symmetrical AWD setup strongly favors even tread wear and width on tires, so having a spare that isn't 1:1 isn't very helpful. Having personally driven my BRZ, Impreza and Forester between Alaska and the other 48 states over 15 years, I never once needed a spare tire. They're more for in-town conveniences since that's where more people are who drop random stuff, and that's where you drive the most. At that point it's best to just have it towed if you can't use a tire patch kit. I've been in all those scenarios. It's unfortunate that the WRX will most likely not receive any midcycle design refreshes until there's a new electrified performance model. Subaru can't afford to do anything too drastic with the VB with having to focus on EVs and profitable cars. Thanks for vid, bro!

The design is what really depressed me about the new model. I got used to the 2015+ redesign (even though it wasn't great either) but this one just looks like a boring sedan.

Im betting the next generation will be a major improvement over the current one

Have a 22 WRX with a manual. Love the car overall. I’ve adjusted to the turn signal stalk now. It mainly sucks when driving another vehicle. I have to adjust again every time I drive my Wife’s Mazda. No spare time is a joke and cost cutting measure by Subaru. Can’t stand it. It’s always worrying me on long trips when I take this car.

Just wondering why does my sub coils smell when I have the gain up? The sub and amp can handle it easily there is no distortion but I know something not right with either my line output converter gain or maybe I have the volume too high on the head unit. Head unit level max is 60 I have tuned it to 50 all my eq is flat and no bass boost on amps

So that’s why my WRX is beeping at me all day, everyday 😎

A razor blade works great

I remember using this on a drill without fully tightening it. Shit flew off at mach fuck and rolled away never to be seen again

Love your videos but this isn’t a good comparison. The sti is a completely different animal even compared to a manual wrx. This comparison should have been done between a manual wrx and a cvt wrx

Do not use it on plastic bumpers or any plastic parts it will also yellow white paint

wonder wheel? nah just a renamed rubber wheel

Have you tried installing a 3rd party launcher? I own smart launcher since ive been an android user forever and im wondering if i could use such a launcher to customize the home screen.

Those don't really fit on the radiator cap that well... Do you know of a kit that does?

Im worried about the drone. How's this compared to grimspeed and ultimate racing?

Don’t understand why this whole unit doesn’t use any of the factory bolts to hold it down it doesn’t make any sense what is suppose to hold the radio in place

Thank you for this. I'm gonna do it to my car because the finish on the trim bubbles up due to hear and/or poor manufacturing.

How hot your amps get? I am running a LC2i and my amps get pretty hot

Buenisimo!

Yeaaaaa no longer doing this lol

Really don't like the stock shifter but I'm not going to have access to a lift anytime soon (2019 sti, would go with kartboy)

Can you treat the front window with it as well? Isn't it greasy after?

Nice video, but I have a doubt as to which leg is attached to the cable.

Great teaching 👍

As a new DSP user, and the dozens of videos Ive watched, you explains setup the best

So what would you recommend I get, if i want to keep the oem head unit? I was thinking getting an amp and some JBL speakers and tweeters. in your opinion, would this suffice? or make it sound louder and better?

OK… Now I understand what you’re saying. Pay a ridiculous price for a piece of shit, then pay a stupid price to change fluid 3 times more often than a standard automatic(Dealer knows you by your first name) then we have to learn how to baby said POS so it does not poop in its pants. Yeah,,,,I really want to participate in this.

So I’m running 4 Speakers of 250min to 500 max each what amp gauge wire would I need?

WD40. That's all you need. Let it soak in a few minutes and you can just wipe it off. Might take twice if it's thick. And WD 40 won't harm your paint.

Hello, for finding target voltage would you choose the max rms at the impedance your sub will be wired (4ohm) or the absolute max rms (at the lowest impedance of 1ohm). For instance, I have a kicker 44CWCS124 SVC at 4ohm and a Kicker CXA400.1 (4ohm rms= 150, 1ohm= 400) at 4ohm I get 24.49V and for the max rms of the amp (1 ohm) I get 40V =(400(max rms)x4(subs impedance))^2

The 792 Watts is basically the Sum of all speakers SO 792 divided by 14 = 56W per speaker. But due to coaxials being combined so then 10 you are getting 79.2 W and that is actually pretty good. They also could be pushing 100-150W direct to the sub and the leftover to all the other speakers.

Where will l get the vinyl to buy?

Great video, thank you!
