Is the 2007 Subaru WRX STi the LAST of the GREAT ones?

The Subaru WRX STi first came to the USA in 2004. This 2007 "HAWK EYE" version is one of the most coveted by Subaru fans world wide. Under the hood is that 2.5L turbocharged flat-4 engine mated to a bullet proof 6 speed gearbox. Connecting this rally car to the road is Subaru's amazing AWD system. Check out the details as to why many people consider this the last great Subaru WRX STi.

I bought my 07 with 11k miles and have had 0 issues now at about 70k miles. I’ll never sell it because it’s just too much dang fun. Great Review

Just bought one of these. 2007 Subaru STi in black. 1k miles on engine and 112k on body. Pushing 400hp with 10 mods including COBB v3 accesport. It was a really good price for what it is.

This is my favorite of the WRX/STi's. I have a 2013 STi but I appreciate the people who maintain these throughout the years!

Don’t tell people about these cars I’m trying to buy one

[Stormrider]

This is the pinnacle of the STi IMO.
This is an awesome quick review of the car, with tons of accurate info about it, thank you.

My all-time favourite version of the STi's, there is just something about the hawkeye that gets me.

Great review of a beautiful STI... Love the old school. So much different than my 19 STI...

Nice review Joe. I own one just like this one and it is so much fun to drive that I never want my drive to end and we won't talk about the beautiful sound that is music to my ears.

I bought an 06 STI with only 12k miles fully stock with ringland failure, I slapped on some CP forged pistons and is up to 18k miles and it drives like it just came out of the factory ✌

As a new car enthusiast, I have fallen in love with the Subaru Wrx. This video was amazing man!

I use to own a 2007 STi. I loved that car. The 07 had longer gearing than the 04-06 as well.

I've a blue 2004 sti. Daily driver for the last 4years very reliable

[VaggelisKatsikokeris]

One of the most iconic cars Nice review 👌👌

I've got a 2007 WRX that has been built to STI specs, along with forged internals, has about 361hp to the wheels. Absolutely love this freaking car!!!

[TheFinalBoss]

One of the best! All the facts and detailed review. This guy constantly delivers good. Solid work!

Still have an 05 STI 130k miles. Only thing I ever needed to do to it was change rotors, pads, radiator and few other basic maintenance items. Still on stock clutch, stock turbo even being Stage II for most of it's life (18 psi). Runs as strong as ever. Great commuter, street car, and track car on weekends if you want.

[KenseisGarage]

Love that engine sound, love the car, but for whatever reason I love the 2014 STI hatchback, wish they would bring that back. It's all about the business when you're behind the wheel there, pure old school performance. Great video Joe

[kogiekobayashi]

For show and it Joe....continue what you love doing.

I bought an 07 STI brand new in 07. I remember all the STi models had blue interior, the dealer had a black one, a pearl white one and a blue one. I ended up grabbing the blue and even though I’ve had corvettes and Camaros before and after it still remains as one of the best cars I’ve ever owned.
Have a 2012 SS/RS LS3 Camaro and a 2023 VB WRX now as my daily, but the VB doesn’t compare at all to the feel and “rawness” of the 07 STI even though I do like the new FA24 engine.
I’ve driven every gen after but to me this truly was the last “great” STI.
