  • it looks so dull in black

  • 0:59 M.I.L.F.

  • What a powerful Video. Your passion really comes through!

  • what a pity it looks like crap! It could be just another Corolla or Civic.

  • rather get the evo thought, based on the top gear test, the evo is better, but the subaru's a good car thought!

  • 1.06min boing boing boing

  • The 2009 has 265 HP why is he saying 224HP ?

  • I love how they barly cirticize the interior of this car and blast other cars interiors (mainly american) and say that it was to cut costs. in any other car they would blast and blast the interior. such a shame.

  • mazda3 2011 is the best car thumps up people

  • @dhruvilshah30

    How about no.

    I'm tired of these "thumbs up if you agree." Fueling internet rep is important I guess.

  • @Da1RiSiN1sMoKe i don't care asshole lol thumps up .

    just joking dud cool down lol

  • @iamhelix- this is a 2009 WRX. you can tell by the badge on the front grille. To my knowledge the grill is the only body change. I have a 2008 WRX.... I know, I know- shoulda got the 09. Doesn't matter though, cause I'll be upgrading my suspension and swapping the turbo next year

  • Can you guys do a review on the higher STI model???

  • The rear looks somewhat like a VIOS, I prefer he hothatch look of the STI

  • the sedan is bad ass but the hatch back looks like a bitch car

  • sorry but sti is so much better. i hate the wrx.

  • @snowballa88 Fanboy.

  • this is the 2008 WRX not the 2009, it has been changed quite a bit. The horsepower is only the start, they added wider wheels and different suspension parts, as well as other cosmetic changes.

    I'm sick of misleading titles in you tube. People that do this kind of thing should get banned if they continue to mislead people intentionaly just to get hits.

  • Little shocked no one is talking and discussing the new book "You Have A College Degree, Now What?"

  • Again! Another woman out of the kitchen! WTF is going on here?!

    kbb epic fail.

    Honestly you'd get more respect even if Paul Walker was the test driver.

  • i have the subaru legacy.. but i want a lexus.. but the insurance rate for luxury cars here in canada is rediculous...

  • This is bulllshit, the WRX has 265 hp and you cat get a DVD Navi system! dont watch this is crap bullshit horrible bad info!

  • @Rubix176 yeah but this is an 08... it had less HP and only the option of a navigation system... You're describing the 09+ ones...

  • this review is off.. title says 09.. but the specs they discuss here and the traits of the car reflect the 08 lineup. I smell bs. 

    kbb FAIL.

  • hmm... i think ill keep my 99 2.5rs coupe

  • Lies, the WRX does not come with automatic trasmition, only the regular Impreza does.

  • Subaru changed the name of the 2008 WRX to Impreza GT and it only comes with a the 4eat auto. So a WRX does kind of come in an auto :)

  • yea but this is the 2009 or even 2010, look at the scoop :D

  • the impreza gt has a scoop as well

  • dang that sucks cuz i really wanted the wrx model but i can't drive with manual transmission.

  • @stanstankov2 : i didn't think i could either.  its scarier than it looks. you will kill it every once in a while, but after about a week you will be fine with it. Even my girlfriend can do it.

  • learn, its not hard. My 2009 wrx hatch was my first manual car. just do it. you'll be happier.

  • @stanstankov2 have someone show you the basics, then teach yourself. its worth it to learn, much more enjoyable to drive stick. start with a beat ass honda, theyre good to learn on.

  • @zingeris644 actually it did. i was at a subaru dealer today and they had a used WRX with an auto. unless it was just badged to be on which is possibly

  • @zingeris644 2008 and earlier WRX's have auto trans as an option. But ur right in saying 2009 up WRX's come only in manual.

  • i want a sti but dont know if i should just get a wrx

  • To me, it doesn't matter what it looks like. as long as the sound is roaring loud

  • Subaru is good everyday car. Mitsubishi Evolution is a beast on the track not so comfy on the street. Just my humble opinion.

  • The new design is ugly and feminine. The only nice part is the Hood scoop.

  • i've seen some badaaasssss lookin wrx's with a few mods

  • Its not suburu its subaru Mr.announcer!

  • WRX= UGLY

    STI= HOT

  • @MrGTR1988 they both look the same dumbass the only difference is the engine. But it comes standard turbo charged. I would rather buy the regular WRX and supp it up and make it just as strong as the STI and save my self money. KBB is dumb that's why i never watch their reviews but i just had to hear what they had to say about this car. They give all kinds of nice sports cars bad reviews. They pick at one thing for like the whole video

  • boxer engine...? must run on dogs

  • wrx rulllss

  • dont like the body look

  • And this is called review? The woman that drives Impreza can not even hold and handle the steering wheel!

  • Subaru rule WRC. R.I.P. Colin McRae, besides Evos have engine problems or so i've heard.

  • yeah, so you've heard, past boxer engines have been torqueless whilst the 4g63 have always remained strong, give me a mitsi engine over a subura engine anyday

  • haah torqueless? are u fuckin stupid? ur telling me an inline 4 makes more torque then a h4? u sir are retarted

  • way better than si!!! I love mine...265 HP!!

  • this day i sort of regret buying the Si, I love torque and Hondas aren't meant for torque. next car is subaru or something other than Honda for a while

  • I also bought an Si recently (3 months ago), but I don't regret it, especially after watching that review. The interior of the WRX is ugly compared to the Si, fuel economy is not nearly as good, and the WRX holds back a lot to try to sell you on an STi. I wouldn't get a WRX over an Si, unless I could afford an STi, which is way out of my current price range (house-poor).

  • I was looking at a SI also but, went with the WRX and I will never look back.

    Soon to be 09 Spec. B Owner

    WRX Owner

  • yeah. but rally arts dont come with 5spd. thats why im going for wrx

  • umm... idk if u no this, but lancers come w/ 5 speed, sti comes w/ 6 speed...

  • I hope you know that mitsubishi is made with chryslers.

    and no subaru is safe, good on rain, snows.

    and yes i have one and best car ever.

    and yes i love mitsubishi

  • Too bad the STi trim only comes as a gay hatchback.

  • you do know that all subaru imprezas are designed after the wrc rally cars.

  • I think the hatchback is better than the sedan.

  • @TheMisterYang hatchbacks are bad ass

  • is this better then civic si ?

  • I have a 09 Sedan....Love it!! Prefer a sedan to the hatch!

  • This not a 2009 WRX review. You can hear him say this WRX has 224 HP at 4:20 The 2009 has 265 HP

  • Its the 09 you can tell because it has the sport grill with the WRX on it and the darker rims

    He just messed up the hp but then again he said it comes with both a auto and a stick. 09 only comes with stick so it anybodys guess

  • its a 08 cuz 09 imprezas are hatch

  • No 09's are sedan also, i test drove one

  • There's sedans as well.

  • its probably 224 to the wheels

  • actually, the 2009 in Canada offers the WRX at 224BHP and a WRX265 which offers the 265bhp motor... it's the 2010 models that only offer 265hp.

  • Just got one 2 weeks ago.  So much fun. It really is sick how quick the thing is.

  • I wanted this car really badly but it would've broken the bank. I STILL want it really badly though.

  • I couldn't have said it better myself: I'm purchasing the '09 WRX Sedan next week and the last thing I want is for people to constantly hear tokyo drift music everytime I'm seen driving it. I'm not Paul Walker, and the fast and the furious blows. It's time to grow up, this car is perfect.

  • 3:03 music starts agian

  • 2:47 music stops

  • hatch or sedan?

  • Subaru produce Both hatch WRX 2009 and Sedan WRX 2009 wich I prefer ...

  • Hi Kbb, your horsepower rating of the 09 WRX is wrong in this particular review. It is 265hp and not 224hp. Cheers.

  • there r two diff versions one with 224 one with 265 the latter is slightly more

  • Yes, correct... the Impreza GT is still the 224 HP while the WRX is 265..

  • well in canada the 09 WRX still have 224hp but we also got the WRX 265 which means it got 265hp.

  • Did know that, i do know your STi's can have sun roofs though...

  • @scoobeydoooo in the US it's 224.

  • @stwartfan123 get you facts rite hp for the 2009 + in the US is 265 hp 244 pounds of torque.

  • @scoobeydoooo no it's actually 224hp, the 2010 model now has 265hp

  • @younger619

    Incorrect, the 2009 model introduced the IHI VF52 as the stock turbo for the WRX, which also happens to be fitted on the 2010. Generation 3 "Mk1" WRX which is the 2008 uses the tiny TD04 turbo which grants the vehicle 224hp at the crank. I know because I felt the pain when Subaru decided to outfit the 09 with a larger turbocharger for the same sticker price only 1 year after I purchased the 08.

  • @scoobeydoooo Ohh. Sorry about that. Good to know though.

  • Comment removed

  • @scoobeydoooo, In 2008 it was only 224. they upgraded it in 2009.

    Cheers.

  • Sedan kills it.

  • i like my wrx so far. i

  • wow. thank god its a sedan again and not hideous looking hatch.

  • preach

  • Sedan looks has no balance.

    The hatch looks more balanced especially

    with the larger spoiler,

    soooo pretty.

  • the wrx hatch is fuckin ugly, im glade its a sedan now looks awesome just need to ge tthe sti like this and they will make some money again

  • The sedan looks like it was designed for grandma.

    The sedan was only good -05 years.

    The 09 hatches are hot, the 08s are not.

  • it looks like a ford focus ffs, the 09 sedan/hatch has 265bhp hardly for an old grampa and it keeps up with the sti 0-60 so ya know, all the sedan needs is an sti spoiler and bigger wheels to fit in the arches better and it will be spot on

  • Im only talking about the sedans design.

    I'm fully aware of their power.

    I just think the rear looks old, and ugly. Not like how they used to look.

  • its deffo better looking than the hatch thats for sure

  • yea they rly kille the sedan design the hatchback has alot more agressive lines and styling in it

  • the 09 wrx looks really nice! I was just lookin at one on the subi website

  • FINALLY, someone who thinks it looks good. I'm 23, just started a career and needed a car, so I've been looking around everywhere for a year now, when I got to the Subaru dealership I caught a glimpse of the 09 wrx 5 door and couldn't take my eyes off of it. So I bought it. Every friend just stares at its beauty, when I go to the grocery store people tell me it's a beautiful car. It doesn't look like some riced out fast and furious thing anymore, it's grown up. It's a man's car, not a boy's car.

  • oh yeah, and it's fast as shit. And so smooth, you'll barely notice you're already at 100mph. I take people in it down the freeway and accelerate and ask them how fast they think we're going, they're usually 20-30mph too slow. This isn't a track car, it's a sports sedan, versatile, reliable and fun. Why would you ever want anything else?

  • congratz. It is a very nice car, my only complaint si that the back seats lack legroom, but then again it is a sportscar. Cool that you got the wrx instead of the base model, wrx is sweet. I am looking at mitsubishis and subis, since they both make great, reliable cars. I'm thinking an eclipse right now...cause I like to stand out but I'm not breakin' the bank with a frikn lambo. Yeahhhh, I love the eclipse, such a sweet car. If you care about performance, though, subi's r the best

  • @FARISM13 This is true the car is more mature looking and now is more of a adult car, but the problem is that now ONLY adults can afford it. Since leather interior and navigation systems are becoming more of a standard sti prices have gone up and drifted from the original purpose. The 04 sti was a gutted basically race car and that is what it is supposed to be the sti is supposed to be a rugged looking mean car. Not a dolled up 40 year old mans daily driver.

  • @FARISM13 My point basically is the old sti's were made to be a rugged mean looking car, so I can see why Subaru enthusiasts are pissed off about the change. Another down fall is the price of these cars has gone up do to all these increases in luxuries that previous models did not have. I personally like modern luxuries and a ballsy car because it is more practical. How ever though I think the exterior look is terrible on the sedan, and has only slightly grown on me for the hatch. 02-07 ftw

  • @Dreamevil2009 there isn't any change this car is a very mean car. But these fuckers set thers heights to high. I think the interior and exterior looks very sporty and very modernized. I saw one on the highway and you could hear that puppy a mile back. Its like they thought it was going to be like a lambo, that's why you can't ever trust what these kind of people say , just like you can't trust what critics say about movies because critics gave avatar a bad review but the general public loved it

  • the 08 and 09 hatch are almost exactly the same thing

  • You obviously don't know anything about WRX`s.

  • oops sorry i thought this was an sti. ya i know the 09 are the ones to get.

  • Serious you make a car review the most boring thing I have ever seen...

  • WRX265...sorry about that

  • it's the '08 cause the '09 wrx has 265hp not 224

  • It has to be the '09. It has the revised front grille design. Maybe they got the hp wrong?

  • 09 WRX = 224 HP

    29WRX265 = 265 HP

  • in america the wrx= 265 hp, and the 2.5gt= 224 hp

  • I live in Canada..its in North america and the 2.5i and sport got 170HP. WRX = 224 HP and the WRX"?% = 265 HP...in canada.

  • Soft suspension? WTF!! This must be the 08 version, they should really put that in the vid or in the tittle.

  • Someone once said that the Subaru impreza is a 'poor man's Lexus' especially in the interior cabin and I tend to agree.

  • the wrx represented here is the 08, the 09 was reworked for stiffer suspension 45% stiffer, more boost from the turbo from 11.X to like 13.3 lbs of boost

  • Subaru no way can win EVO X.

  • Is this english?

    EVO X no way win automatick slushbox.

  • you do't know english?

    EVO X can win in anyrace.

  • th evo 10 is actually slower than the new impreza wrx, check the review

  • How you get this poin about?

    you only knows that evo x was slower than impreza,but did you know how many evo x are there?

  • yh and do you know how many imprezas there are ??

  • How many?

  • well therte is the wrx sti . sti spec c. sti 20th anniversary, spec c type r spec c type r ar , sti type r sti type ra, type 25. type 20, the list goes on and on son, evo has the mr gsr and the ralliart and then the standard ones.

  • But i have heard my friend said that,those car in any type R or type S are already be tune it,but anyway evo do't have any type r.

  • yh they had mr and gsr, same thing already tuned. wat do u think sti is??? its a tuning company for subaru

  • But Subaru's car looks like much more than evo but evo do't have any type.I mean those subaru in type once is already been tuning by others.

  • you what ???? i didnt understand a word you jsut wrote, but put it this way scoobys are better

  • every japanese cars have type,but only evo do't have,but alots of people said that evo are better.

  • lol you jsut dont get how it works do you ??? take the ralliart evo. ralliart is a company that tunes evos. a evo mr is tuned as is a gsr

  • lol.looks like you not so understand about evo,evo have alot of type too just like GSR,MR and RS,mr and rs is non truning

    because they are coming from diffence companry but sam contry.

  • What?? you really cannot speak english can you ??? a mr, rs, gsr evos are all tuned jsut like an sti is or a spec c or type 25 etc. this si how they make the standard car faster! do you understand now ???

  • Oh you wants to teach me how to speak english? rs and mr did not tuned anything

    the most lightly is make it shock,for the subaru also the sam thing the spec C and type 25 it also didn't tuned it because each car's modded have alot of type,understand now??

  • ok ill teach you. what you should of said was

    oh you want to teach me how to speak english? rs and mr do not tune them, the most light mod mad is to the shocks, for the subaru it is also the same thing, and the end bit i cant understand what your trying to say???

    and you really shouldnt be arguing with someone that is english telling them you can speak english when your from a diff country

  • if you do't understand you can ask,i wo't talk crap of you so do't worry okay.I mean is Subaru and evo are the same just like

    Subaru have not only WRX it also had STI

    Spec C and RA-R,for the evo too GSR,MR and RS,but thing is which want is the betters car.every people have their own option for their speaking of couse you wo't understand all.

  • mate please stop please, i really cant be bothered trying to understand what your typing. but lets leave it like this i prefer subaru you prefer Mitsubishi, but tell em this, why are you watching subaru videos if you dont like them ?

  • I like 4 doors turbo car very well,at first i like subaru very much too,because i thought there is only subaru have 4 doors

    rally car,after that then i saw mitsubishi evo and i do't know which car is the faster one,then i ask my friends,my friend says that evo are much faster than subaru but i still think that both car are the same,then i seach for internet and watching rallys i alwasy saw evo beat subaru,but now evo have not back in WRC yeac.

  • well put it this way, subaru have won more rallys than mitsu and it all depends what model of evo and scooby you have. there pretty much matched for power, but evos are more technical than subarus, where an evo has alot of computers doing the work subarus are jsut pure mechanics which to me makes it the better car.

  • You think subaru won more rallys than mitsubishi is that just because evo is did not race in rally for a long time so you thought subaru are better?Yes evo have computers contor that for the car easy to rush in the corner,for the subaru is easy to drift,but the power is not that good than mitsubishi.

  • they have used the evo the same length as subaru have, look the faxcts up, subaru have won loads of rallyhs, i cant even remember mitsu winning a rally, and there not faster , the ones you have seen on youtube are mainly all tuned and differnt cars respond better to differn t types of tuning, so a subaru and evo could be tuned the same but the evo might respond better to thos mods etc

  • Of couse you ca't remember because you are supporting subaru,evo has won alot of rallys too untill 2008 mitsubishi quit wrc for a time to train,But for the subaru now still did not won anything.Every car racing all have tuned but some of the team they have Subaru and mitsubishi

    and always the evo better.

  • omg, you clearly dont know what your talking about, good day to you

  • Then too bad for you,good day to you

  • its to bad for me that you no nothing about cars ??? yh that makes sense

  • If you do't understand english,then do't comments.

  • lol i am English you thick twat. you don't understand English you cant spell and you cant write a sentence that makes sense and you don't know any thing about cars mate

  • lol so what you are english,but your brain all notting inside there,you ca't even eat and ca't even talk,you have to going back to your kid's school to restudy again.

  • What the fuck????? where did you learn english, i think you need to go basck to where ever it was a sue them for not teaching you right. do't is not a word?? i think you are trying to say don't ???

  • See.. thats why i've said you have to go back to your kenergradon school to study

    before you comments back to me.

  • you cant even spell kindergarten?? omg, maybe you should stick to you own language and stop fucking mine up retard

  • You should go back and learn your fucking kindergarten language before you fuck me up.

  • thats it now your learning, see i taught you some english, well done

  • Well done for your stupid comments.

  • lol you cant tell me someone who is english adn lived in england for 21 years to go back to kindergarten and learn english when you from Singapore

  • Who the hell telling you that i live in england,but anyway you have to learn more of the english so you can get better.

  • i didnt say you lived in England i do, and have done all my life so i know more than you do.

  • Well you know notthing all your life was notting at all...

  • yes yes yes evo nince the scooby then the better lmao

  • how the fuck would you know you dont even know me man. go fuck your mumma

  • you go and fuck your ma ma first before you fuck me.

  • what the hell man, are you gay, im fucking your mum every night and there is fuck all you can do. if you try to interfere ill kick your skinny ass

  • All you have to do is to kick your mother;s ass or your father's one,before you kicks my.

  • u need to get a life mate and learn some english, or can you not afford the classes?? i know ppl over there are very poor

  • u should learn more about ABC words

    after that ask your father to buy an evo for you to get a life with it,if not you do't even know what is a car about.

  • why the nhell would i want an evo when i have a subaru, go get a job and a life instead of sittin on you tube all day

  • Oh you have an subaru,i know what to do

    with it do't need you to teach me,i will buy an evo to beat off your subaru when i had my job.

  • keep dreamin

  • you too.

  • i dont need to mate, i have a scooby, ill send you some pics if you dont belive me?? whats your email address?? you couldnt even afford a fucking evo even if you wanted one lmao. you need a job first and a driving license lmao. see i own my own business so i have plenty of money thanks :D

  • So what,every people can earn money in the job,and you do't even have a right to say i no money to buy an evo,because first of all,you do't even know how was my life about,when i say i will buy an evo means i can make it so you do't need to care about me just care about your subaru if not your subaru will get destory by my evo.

  • and you dont have the right to even talk to me, yopu dont even know me and you dont even know how to speak english and you dont even have an evo, at least i have a subaru lol so being a liar
