@MrRyanchester6 months ago DONUT!! Doubt y’all will see this but in the slim shot I wanted to let y’all know something real fast- over the last month my truck got caught in a fire while parked overnight, my job became pretty unstable due to outside company circumstances, my cat needed emergency surgery, AND I tore my ACL and needed wild surgery and now can’t work cause I’m in hospitality and work on my feet.
I wanted y’all to know that I’ve been locked up in my apartment healing and things are pretty hard right now and I am working through a lot of “big deal” type issues (only 26 this is all new to me) and your channel has single handedly kept me laughing and smiling and entertained while I’m laid up.
Im trying to stay positive and smile through it all and stay productive working through all these moving parts and you guys have been a great way to smile and laugh. Thanks guys! ... 69

@

@kig2055last month Hot take: I like the base WRX still having the turn key to start style. Reminds me of the older generations. The premium and up have the fob w/the push to start button. I may be slightly biased with my first two cars being SG Foresters. ... 6

@Sirtop136 months ago I got a 2017 WRX new because I wanted a good daily that was reliable, that I could drive in the snow, but was also fun. I work at a Hospital in RI, so I still need to get to work when it snows.
And I haven't regretted it once. I have no plans on modding it or replacing it anytime soon. I might get a Z or something or a weekend car in the near future, but the base model WRX is an awesome daily work commute car. It's a comfortable car that can be pushed and fun to drive.
It's got some mileage after 6 years, but I'm confident it will start everytime I get in and it will get me to where I need to go.
I don't like the interior of the 2023 so I won't be upgrading, but when it changes to something I like I might. ...
@

@colinjohnston98244 months ago In Canada we get the sport tech package, it's the full trim package but comes in standard. The stock gen 5 wrx out performs stock gen 4 sti, with a much more robust base to push performance. You add 3k of mods to the vb and it will turn just as many heads as your full build. Or, 5k to upgrade Intake, straight piped, and tuned it will take the trophy every time. ...

@jamessizemore71036 months ago Man, looking back at old donut to where they are now it’s unrecognizable, save for James, and that is 1,000% a compliment. I go back to the old videos and it’s james and Nolan making the absolute best out of a green screen. and here they are now PHYSICALLY RACING and providing their first hand unique experiences with new cars and the cars they love. It’s so awesome to see as a long term fan❤ keep it up guys ... 160

@

@SuperDrummerJay6 months ago Definitely goes to show how much the exhaust sounds can make or break your driving experience. A decent nameless cat back or Invidia exhaust on the new Rex would probably enhance the fun factor by a huge amount.
I have a 2016 Forester XT, and as fast as it was, it was just too quiet compared to my 13 Impreza with a Borla exhaust. Bolting on a Nameless kit made it so much more fun to drive on a daily basis.
A quiet exhaust is like going through life without music. Not as critical as water or food, but it definitely enhances the experience so much with a soundtrack! ... 11

@

@thabrownieviking6 months ago These VB WRXs make MASSIVE gains with a tune and intake. Mine made 326whp/378 torque on a mustang dyno, with an ETS intake and a 93 protune.
Huge difference and the car is a blast. The best thing is when i drive it I dont have to look at it 😂 ... 81

@jimmyhintz82033 months ago Honest guys, i bought an 07 base model 5speed for a daily driver, proceeded to ABSOLUTELY FALL IN LOVE with it driving in the first real snow and i'll be watching the whole series high car low car on these just to get some ideas. I'm a muscle car type, i have the firing order to every v8 chevy built between like 58 and 99 tattooed to my knuckles. i have no idea what im doing but i have an empty engine stand and a desire to go fast. thanks for putting this out there! ...

@

@MisterNutty6 months ago The new wrx has pretty huge gains from just an intake, exhaust & E30. Dollar for dollar, high car is ahead but the new wrx with just a couple mods doesn't cost much more. Sick vid! 57

@

@AntsNigeriaone week ago I own the most fully loaded 2022 WRX with a Manual Transmission that I could buy. It does have the push button start and the big screen and suede everywhere possible. Being that I used to drive a 2007 Saturn Aura before I bought the WRX, it is quite the upgrade for me. I have soooo much fun driving it. I know it is not a super modified car like your Orange one, but I can still drive it hard and fast, and if something breaks, it is covered under warranty and I don't have to spend many hours fixing it. I get the appeal of modifying a vehicle if you have the time and expertise to work on it, but when I have work 50-60 hours per week and spend the rest of my wife and kids, a stock new WRX is a very fun vehicle to drive.
Unfortunately, my wife enjoys driving the WRX too. So she plans on taking it from me once I buy my new car, which will be a 2016 Focus RS. ...

@jamesgerlach55775 months ago I feel like this was more of a video, saying why we modify cars , rather than which one is “cooler” put 30k into a new Wrx and see how close it is .. 1
@

@wild_lee_coyote6 months ago Not to mention the 06 WRX is till running about $15,000 to $25,000 for one that won’t need a new engine and tranny rebuild within the first month. A new WRX is going to give you a good base for future mods when you finally pay it off. One will make a good daily driver, the other is more of a play car that may be in the shop more than the road. ... 1

@marshallney38855 months ago As a happy 2022 wrx owner, I gotta disagree with 1 major point.
No one “at work” is interested in high car. Unless you work entirely with hardcore car people. There are lots of old, built, Japanese cars running around and 99% of people find no prestige in them. ... 1

@helicopterclam42566 months ago I’ve got a black VB, upgraded to a catback exhaust and upgraded suspension to coilovers. This thing sounds and drives amazing now.
People are making 350 to the wheels with just an intake and a tune.
The VB is a great chassis. ... 23
@

@jeffrossip68036 months ago They should have done all 3. High vs Low vs New. It would show if a budget wrx build is just as good as new. Would be interesting to see. 19
@

@carlosfreire8249last month E85 is mostly ethanol (85%) and modified engines can be harder to start with it — especially on colder days.
In Brazil, where I live, most road cars are flex fuel and many of them have a small gasoline tank under the hood that helps on the cold start. Not sure if this is a common thing elsewhere or something adapted for this market.
By the way, when ethanol was first introduced here, most cars still used carburetors. Ethanol engines were notoriously difficult to start — you had to pull the “choke” to momentarily get more fuel into the chamber, say a prayer, and trust it would start in less than five attempts. ...

@reddog52016 months ago A VB WRX is my first WRX, coming from a RWD XR6 Turbo with nearly 400kW at the wheels and although it's obviously not as fast in a straight line the VB is a way more fun car to drive. Definitely needed an Invidia cat back so you can hear when to change gears !! ... 5

@vlosick16686 months ago I'm 21, and i hate the push button starts. So that's actually a plus to me it doesn't have 1. 4
@

@beerleagueeverything80306 months ago They should take the new WRX and slowly add parts/tune to see how little it takes to become faster than the old Hi Car. For example an Access Port and Drunkmann ots tune alone might make it faster. Add in coilovers and it would be insanely close after those two enhancements alone. ... 16

@mitchpolifka95726 months ago I'd love to see what happens if you give both cars a few more grand, give the new one coil overs and tires like you said, and a muffler for sound, and try again. 2

@

@b3nny906 months ago One of the biggest differences is the new one is 30k up front. The old one (for most people) is 30k over years with friends helping build it. I like brand new cars but my older modified cars are just fun for me, kids or teens or even young adults love them etc. New cars are bland as you pointed out. ... 20

@Pete_Finch6 months ago Man if I never see another WRX on Donut again it'll be too soon
@

@zukoHD6 months ago Call me crazy but having a key is on of my favorite parts of starting up a car. Its a physical and great sensation to turn the key after wrenching on an engine for hours and hear it turn over
and run.
Sadly it seems like a truly active and engaging experience is becoming more and more difficult. The manuals are disappearing, rwd is disappearing, and the amount of thing i want to do but cant because California laws + us import laws is just depressing. ... 1
@

@andypacmanperez6 months ago This was awesome. I own a heavily modded VA wrx and a bone stock VB both premium trim and i can tell you straight out of the box the VB is the best wrx ever made. And it has the most potential. The FA motors are really stout being that they were co developed between Subaru Toyota and Yamaha and there are examples of fa24 VB wrx making 600+ hp with a stock motor. I myself with my Fa20 have been making 400whp on my Fa20 in my VA for 4 years with no issues. ... 17

@ethanacton4086 months ago At the rate the civic is going. I can't wait for the x cost civic vs x cost new civic. 66

@KuyaPow6265 months ago Such a fun video 😂 I have that exact WRX and I just wanna put this out there in case you didnt know! It is making 300 whp on just a tune, and around 330 whp with the addition of an intake, and upwards to 380 who on E85, FMIC, intake, and a few other stuff. I think blouch turbo kitted people are easilt
hitting 450 whp. So when this car is modded apples to apples I think itll be more appreciated how much of an underdog the new WRX is. Oh yeah and the bolt ons are all gonna be significantly easier and cheaper than what went into Hi Car 😅 . I mean like $3k. ...
@

@darthscythe46126 months ago Took a 97 Impreza with 250k miles on a road trip with no issues. 5000 miles in 12 days and hit Pikes peak, did a track day, and routinely cruising at 80 mph. Only issue was added some oil after the track day. It's been modified heavily and I trusted it completely to not break down doing all that. It comes down to the owner and keeping up with proper maintenance for the most part. Great comparison video though, and I would personally take the old modified car 10/10 over a new car. ...

@HungryAvocados6 months ago I’ve heard nothing but good things about the FA24. A series where to take a stock VB WRX and try to make up those seconds with the least amount of money would be cool.

@

@SeanRosairo6 months ago I do like the key for the base model. It makes it more inconvenient for people to steal when compared to keyless. For me it was the lack of steering feedback on the new WRX that I didn't like. Great comparison though! 24
@

@tylercaras44886 months ago After owning my 22 WRX for a year and a half now can confirm car is fun. Have some light mods with a catback and other misc stuff and just doing the catback livens up the car a lot. The car with the plastic def doesn't look as good as the old ones, but if you look at AFD's wrx it looks amazing. Coming from my bugeye to this the turbo lag is pretty much non existent in the 22 and man at least at autocross the thing is a monster. Having people who own other WRX's drive it say they love the car. Give the car a chance looks arent everything cause you can change it with after market parts which is what we do anyway! Can't wait to start getting some more mods for mine! ... 28
@

@ins3rti0n6 months ago shoutout to that guy cycling up those hills
@

@chuukoart38695 months ago i know with some simple exhaust modifications the new wrx sounds really freaking good, and it makes really good power on just a downpipe and tune so It would take that much to get the new wrx to a really good spot while still probably being way more reliable then high car, id still go with the new one IMO. also a friend of mine has a hawkeye wrx and complains about it a lot, I wouldn't want to be in his shoes lol.
although when i was looking for a new car lately i passed on it and got an elantra N instead, just not a huge fan of the new wrx in general ...
