Funniest bit was him trying to explain that sixth gear is low whilst not knowing much about cars.

[dushyantx]

15 year old car which is still able to keep up with the latest, that says something.

I would of given the STI 10 out of 10!! It ticks every box;, fun, fast, good looking, practical, full of kit, sounds great, grippy, seats 5 people, big boot what else do you need???

Did you just say the "intercooler cools the turbo"... Maybe just shut the bonnet and talk about something else.

Starlink is alright?
It doesn't work at all in mine.
Great review. I'm loving my 18 STI

[zooks]

Sorry mate, this was hard to watch. I came here to get pumped up about a great car and you left me feeling flat.

[davidx]

I thought the STI is much harder than the standard WRX that he disliked? How come he preferred this over the regular WRX? Not quite sure what is going on.

[Zoksta]

Intercooler cools the turbo? Lol oh dear....

[krispykruzer]

this guy needs to stop doing these review....hated his remarks and his overall tone - big dislike

[dinosaucers]

Carsguide should really just be Richard Berry and Andrew Chesterton.

I noticed the subie and civic type R has similarities. I now like that Honda alot

[k-unit-australia]

You should definitely buy a corola. Then the scoop won’t be so big. Car doesn’t suit someone like you

[shakirrusli]

what about the handling?suspension comfort or hard for daily use?

[Kiarax]

Good review - I actually quite like his style and his down to earth reviews.

[scoobystichris]

I agree, the gas mileage isn't great, my best average was 35mpg, but normally I average around 26mpg. The STI engine is reliable, but it does have weak spots e.g piston rings and head gasket. However that said, good regular maintenance, good fuel and care and there is no reason why it won't last. Even the new WRX DIT engine has weakness e.g rod design, check out MRT performance on the new DIT engine on YouTube.

He bitched about the car for 5 minutes but then he says he likes it...well sort of ?...I'm confused.

[jmoney]

Are you a mad scientist or just cold? I can't tell with all your awkward hand movements. But one thing I can tell is that you're trying to hate the Subaru, but you can't...

[Shepmx]

This nerd should be reviewing computers

[preciousmechanical]

awesome car mate, unless your employed by a jelous brand

[hokmanbenjaminliu]

This guy knows nothing about sport car
