  • I agree, it is one UGLY car!

  • The baseball cap look is for rally sport. I belive the Sedan is the way to go for looks both WRX and STi. I call them little vans, personally i dont like them. But the 2011 and 12's are gorgeous cars.

  • I don't care what people say, this car is pure, raw, sexy, usable, and in my opinion beautiful. Now gtfo and test it in gravel or snow, its a god damn rally car for fuck's sake. did u expect it to handle as a lemans car on the track? i'd like to see a car with no body roll perform on a rally stage.

  • sti's are fucking sexy

  • "the STI has never been a looker" ??????ARE YOU NUTS?????? THERES NOTHING NICER AT THAT PRICE, FOR THAT PERFORMANCE!!!! AND I DRIVE A SPEED3!!!!!!!!!!!!!! stop doing reviews...your waaayyyy to biased!!!!!!!!

  • Guys people who buy these cars don't really care about the looks. They care about going to the local race track and carving up some corners on the weekend and also being able to drop the kids off to school on Monday as well all in the same car.

  • IMO, the 2007 and 2011 Impreza STi sedans are beautiful....

  • The reality is, these guys are legitimate amateurs, and their opinions should be treated in response with that knowledge

  • i want one

  • a wet wounded baseball cap on wheels? coming from the guy who wears an ugly ass helmet.

  • @TurkeySandwhich123 What the hell kind of counter-argument is that? Have you ever even been to a race track, or even watched a race for that matter? They're not fashion shows, and at any moment you could slip up and get into an accident.

    You can't expect logic out of a person with the username "TurkeySandwhich123", though.

  • @dotZodiac wow you really hurt my feelings there. quite impressed.

  • I don't think it's ugly. like a toyota, it just does not stand out.

  • @sqy391 well i think its suppose to be a low profile performance cars, unlike hondas that looks alot faster than it really is

  • I'm an Evo person, but i don't know why these reviewers call this ugly? Ok fair enough the rear end doesn't look that pretty but the front looks great, especially in white. N i love the saloon version.

  • @souljaruman1 I have an Evo X and I think the 2008 redesign is much uglier than the 2004-2007 versions imo. Although my favorite is 2004 STi. I want to buy one of those so I can have both.

  • @pcload1etter Which X is it? I am jealous! lol, i wish i could afford one :/

  • come on guys, lets be serious. 4 doors, hatch, incoherent styling cues slapped on everywhere. this thing is really ugly as are all rally cars.

  • these guys liked the hyndai genesis exterior design, but didn't like any sti designs,wtf?i'd hate to see what your guys girlfriends look like

  • jajajajA still evo wins and is a better car

  • Comment removed

  • nice i should get one

  • It is not ugly your stupid man they should fire you, it's a rally car get that through your mind.

  • Evo x is better

  • i think the hatchback is way more agressive compared to the sedan

  • I think the 4door is better looking than the 5, but come on it really isn't all that bad. If I wanted a car just for looks, then I wouldn't want an STI. STIs are for people that like driving.

  • The guy in the red shirt is retarded an sti is gorgeous

  • its beautiful...

    

  • @everydaydriver Please review the NEW 2011 4 door Subaru STI!!

  • they just dont understand extirior looks

  • your ugly wtf sti a fuckin beutiful car!

  • @MrInfiniti22 he is fucken ugly!

  • @everydaydriver are u guys gonna review the new 2011 subaru sti.. i would really like to see that review

  • What's ugly? Ohhhh,  HE was talking about the car. I thought the car was talking about the him.

  • not ugly

  • Only EVO...only. Ever.

  • 370z or this?

  • @xxnissansilviaxx

    definitely the 370z but it sure gives it a run for its money! Both nice cars

  • @xxnissansilviaxx honestly this because you have the all-wheel drive and power it enough you could take any Z even powered because of the advanced all wheel drive. But drive both and see which one you like more.

  • I WOULD CHOOSE THIS CAR OVER A 350Z ANYDAY!!!!!!

  • 05 - 07 WRX's are the ONLY good looking new WRX's since the original, but even tho I think my opinion is right there is no point in arguing that because in the end its all just an opinion and a opinion shouldn't be argued because its all just someone's point of view.

  • Wtf... If you find this car ugly... The EVO isn't that beautiful.. In my opinion, these two cars have their differences but are awesome.

  • If this car were about $5k cheaper I'd have bought one rather than the MazdaSpeed 3. (WRX was closer but i wanted the STI) It's just BARELY out of my price range. Maybe I'll pick one up used in a few years.

  • I hated this car when it first came out, but the look grew on me. Plus they made it so much better with the new facelift. And if you don't think an Sti sounds good, you might be a huge fag.

  • @97I30T so true the sound is awesome especially with either Cobb exhaust or Borla

  • I don't like the hatch. It makes the car looks like it has a huge nose on it. My friends will make fun of me if I drive this car.

  • @nchandha

    If your friends make fun of you for buying an STI then your friends are fucking retarded.

  • @luminaeus true dat

  • I think Paul and Todd need to get laid to appreciate this car more.

  • theres a difference between handling and cornering g a car can withstand, their just giving you the facts...

  • Looker? The Hatch looks like hell but the sedan?!? Come on.

  • I own an Evo 9 and I still think the new STi's look awesome. The interior has a bit more character too than the Evo 9 and 10. (9 especially haha)

  • Not a looker? Wow, what a fuck.

  • Best hatch is GTI, but Sti is better!

  • @desmodronic916 there a completley different type fo car, ones a 4 door road going rally car, and ones a refined comfortable hatchback.. both BRILLIANT cars though.

  • The front of the car is ugly IMO, the EVO looks way better.

  • This car is far from ugly. And come on. Comparing the handling to a Mustang? Don't quit your day jobs guys.

  • 0:15-0:19 looks the STIG...

  • @Romandiesel Cornering LIMITS similar to the Mustang. The Mustang will lose it at .94, whereas the STi will kick into "save my ass" mode at that point.

  • i always thought subaru impreza was the ugliest car and no ugly cars were in the same segment, so i agree with with the statement about the looker. finally it looks a bit nice

  • these 2 guys OMG ! Can't be serious...

  • These guys are complete jokes. Corners like a mustang? I have a mustang and know how it corners, a car from 1901 corners better than a mustang, obviously this can. And how is it not a looker. if you say its ugly, obviously you looked at it. either way the 04-07's were sexy ass cars.

  • i like Subaru but i like Mitsubishi has always been my favorite. byw subarus hatchbacks are uglier than sin.

    Bring back more Sedans!

  • the evo is 4 tracks,the sti is for daily driving.

  • I agree that SUbaru killed the impreza look... was better in the early 2000's

  • Hi guys,

    Have you guys done a review on the 2011 STI yet?

  • all subarus are just evos little bitch evo so muych better in so many ways

  • UGLY? 04' an 06'?! Only the 5 doors are ugly, The sedan is BACK!

  • I agree with the Subarus being boring in the front.  Only complaint that I can say about the STIs.

  • @dtoften

    I totaly agree with you dude. I love how they STi looks from the back, but the front is just so ugly and plain!

  • thank god they didn't review the subaru Sti 4 door sendan because it look Ugly!

  • Mkay, you've got it ALL wrong, bud.

    04,05,06,07 STIs are ALL lookers! They are absolutely gorgeous. But then Subie ff'ed up on the 08 and now they just keep getting worse...

  • ALL STI'S AND WRX'S ARE GREAT LOOKING PERFORMANCE MACHINES NO ONE LISTEN TO WHAT THEY SAY SUBARU>MITSUBISHI

  • It's a great looking car! catastrophically ugly? No way!!!!

  • i think all impreza look great.

  • i think its gorgeous.

  • The current WRX and STI look great!

  • I dont know why people hate the hatch style. I guess I'm just a hatchback kinda guy... loved them ever since oldschhol civic hatches, crx's, etc I have an 08 aspen white sti and everytime I go to my garage I feel joy

  • Man so many negative comments in here both these cars r great. Both cars i very similer it really comes down to looks and which motor you prefer.

  • What on earth do they mean with 'ugly'? Common! It's BEAUTIFUL!

  • @GoncasDargent I agree. The hatchback Sti looks beautiful. Some of the greatest ever WRC cars were odd looking and beautiful hatchbacks.

  • @GoncasDargent not really, everytime I see this I barely notice or recognize it as a Suby. Its like a moms soccer wagon

  • @GoncasDargent i know eh

  • It has been said that the Evos are more rigid, and feedbacky?(is that a word?), with non adjustable steering wheel and a stiff driving position. While the STI leans more towards luxury and comfort while still having the impressive powerplant and computing under the hood. Both cars are impressive machines nonetheless. On another note, I still prefer older generation styling of both cars :)

  • i fell for the hatch alredy lol i prefer over the new 2011 sedan

  • It's never been beautiful????? Are you on drugs?????? It's sooo amazing! I stopped watching it as soon as u said that

  • u gotta be kidding, the new sti hatch is sexy....the evo looks like a retarded rat! but maybe some people dont see a subie the way most of us do..

  • eww, its a hatch .. lol. that is the reason why i got a evo x mr over this .. but i do own a 05 sti

  • do people really still think the STI Hatch is ugly??

  • @arachn1dinshoe I don't think so. I actually think it looks great in its "weird" way. :)

  • I personally find the new Lancers to be more ugly and Subarus are pretty nice looking cars, no clue why people call them ugly.

  • You guys should really start putting the year of cars being tested in review name.

  • really need hd, get with the times

  • overall this car is good but im more evo! :-)

  • you guys should do an rx-7 vs toyota supra show !!!! that would be sooo sweet

  • I actually like the hatch back look to it.

  • RT4 could beat it

  • the sti is beautiful wth?!?!? the new hatch is realllly nice

  • Ugly as hell, too soft for my taste, Lot better than EVOx for DD, Perform kind of near as EVOx around the track Overall respect evo and sti end of the day.

  • I personally don't think the car is ugly, in fact i just a a blue WRX with crystal clear tails and golden bbs rims and it looked mesmerizing, which is why i am researching about these cars.

    You guys need to stop the hate.

  • the 08+ sti are beautiful compared to previous years. This thing corners much better then a mustang., btw. I wonder what car the ugly announcer drives

  • one of my dream cares

  • I think it's from the time error your from if your used to the old amercian muscle this car is very different personally I think it's amazing looking and I'm not from the muscle cars of the 60's 70's even thought I do like them.

  • the sti is so hawt, why they say its ugly?

  • I agree STIs never have been a nice looking car I think. Well I may be wrong cuz it all depends how you think

  • ugly my ass

    has he seen a new sentra se-r spec v?

  • idiot both are good cars sti is not ugly

  • haha not to be mean but it is quite ugly.. but performance-wise it would be AMAZING

  • god, that guy is such a debby downer. who picked him to host a car show? god.

  • Why is called everyday driver but all they do is track tests?

  • how many it coasts??¿¿

  • EVO-X

  • OMG wtf , its beautiful

  • the main reason i love the subaru is because of it's noise...it's the only 4 cylinder rumble I have ever heard...sounds like a mini V8...

  • between the new evo and sti, i like the sti looks more. personal opinion. But the older versions of the sti and evo are much more appealing to what the car should be. I applaud subaru for not being gimicky in its new car though, something mitsubishi has resorted to. But the old cars were better and we should ge back to that.

  • I aree 100% I had a 9 and loved it. the X is fat and doesnt look that great. I would take the new sti over a X anyday

  • where are you guys on these track reviews? I wanna go!

  • sti has never been a looker? 04?05?06?07? nothing? are you kidding

  • You actually think that the STI's ever looked good? What the hell is your view of an ugly car lol

  • I like the 06-07 the most

  • @andyrin3 People have different tastes. And in my honest opinion, it was never a looker.

  • @andyrin3 It hasn't. You know why? Because it's a station wagon. Who wants to do a burnout and drag race with a fckn wagon? Lol.

  • @WorldOfIvillis Its hatchback dumbass. Theres a difference between a hatch and a station wagon. Go figure it out.

  • @rforracing Yeah a hatchback that looks like a wagon. Same difference.

  • @andyrin3 pssht yeah i think it looks great!

  • To each his own. It's all about the mods and driver. Also, this car is ugly hell, it looks like a broken down crack whore in need of some lovin. To each his own....

  • I agree. I bought a 2010 STI and looked @ the EVO as well.

    To each their own...

  • Todd was against the STI from the beginning.

    "I admit, the STI is more fun than I thought it was going to be..." are you kidding? Terrible review.

  • josefmd: google the following phrases: "Edmunds Evolution MR vs. Gsr on the track"- lists 60-0 as 107 feet; shorter than the STI. Road and Track has the MR as you said running 0-60 in 4.6 seconds, and the GSR is at 4.8-5.2, so both GSR and MR are faster to 60 than the STI. as for rally on gravel, dirt and snow, google: "ACP North American Rally championship"; ACP in a Mitsubihsi EVO X won the 2009 rally championship; it is tested and proven. Both STI and EVO are great but the reviewers like EVO

  • Yeah the evo is an amazing car, and the base model is only $15,000 more than the sti.

    Personally I am about to purchase an 09 sti becuse for what it does the Evo is far to highly priced. for the sake of a $600 remap and a rear sway bar you will sh*t all over an evo in an sti and still be 14k better off.

  • fungal growth, WHAT are you talking about? base STI: 34995, EVO GSR: 33550. The GSR is faster to 60, brakes short from 60mph, and has faster times than the STI, and is cheaper, NOT 15K more expensive. Plus the MR is faster than the GSR, but the base GSR which is faser is not 15 K more. Have fun with your STI; but a rear sway bar doesn't make up enough difference in performance OR looks.

  • Another review confiming why I bought a 2010 EVO MR Touring.

    Don't beleive me? Click on EverydayDriver's own review of the EVO X: They rated it higher than the STI, as the EVO X base version GSR, let alone the MR, is faster on a lap, faster to 60, breaks shorter, looks better, and is more fun. No disrespect to the STI, but the EVO X looks like a performer, performs better, and wil never be mistaken for a Mazda family wagon.

  • Wrong! the STI has a shorter stopping 110 ft compared to 120 for the EVO., and all the numbers I have seen the STI's 0-60 time is 4.7 secs EVO X GSR 5.2, and the MR a little slower than that. I have heard though that the 2010 MR's have a better flash for the SST tranny and are running mid 4's now to 60. The only real advantage the EVO has is on the track! But the STI has not been made to be a pure track car. It was redesigned to be a better rally car and gravel, and rough roads.

  • I would love to own a Evo MR Touring....soo freaking sexy

  • amen.

  • I love the look of the STi!

  • i am wearing red undies lol...don't ask meh why i am telling you this

  • Ugly women are usually a lot more rugged and better in bed. In the same way, you can be less self conscious by being in an ugly car, by having an ugly gf you never have to try to prove anything. Otherwise people will just say "hey who's that douchebag with the really hot gf". I think people who drive Lamborghinis get viewed much in the same way. But usually because they are old and fat. The Peter Stephens WRX front end was the best one.

  • 1:22 - "I'm not getting enough steering feedback to really tell me where these tires are being planted"

    2:21 - "My favorite thing about the WRX, the way the car is so predictable wrapping it around a corner..."

    Really? Because the crap this guy is spewing makes no sense at all. It's contradicting.

    Worst review ever.

  • ugly in pictures i agree but when i saw it in the dealer i drove it home.

  • Yeah i hate the pictures of this car.

    But in person its pumped guards and agressive stance looks amazing. As a matter of fact in person i like the look of it alot more than the Evo X.

  • These "testers" just don't -get it- Not only is the STi a AWD performance car, it's also a very livable daily driver...Add a couple thousand in aftermarket tweeks and you have yourself a Porsche killer!

  • the sti isn't made to be a "looker" every single line on that car is there soley for the performance

  • You people are stupid.The STi was never ugly,I'd rather look at the front of the new STi than the Evo 10.

  • It looks beautiful in person.

  • are you fucking joking me ugly! Its the best looking hatchback under 40k

  • The AWD system Impreza uses is rather actually obsolete.

  • Good review! Shame the new WRX are so bloated and heavy, and well ugly! The old models were so communicating, direct and still safe enough, bring back light cars! down with bloated giant fat cars!

  • i love both cars... but if i had to choose... i would go with the EVO just cuz its looks more aggressive.

  • I would love to see an actually Evo X vs STI review, where you go from one car right into the other to point out there flaws at that moment. I think that would be cool, but thats just my opinion.

  • Great make us watch 2 different ads in your vids. Unsubing now.

  • cry me a river. good web based automotive programs are helping each other out with a little cross promoting.

  • True... The best auto show is Top Gear but they have BBC backing. Low budget shows like this one, FLD, Inside Line put out some awesome shows! The quality I would say is on par with TG... only these guys can't afford to get a Veyron on every other show or fund a trip to the North Pole.

    However, I'm not a big fan of Matt's presentation style... Maybe it was just the Garage 419 format... I dunno.

  • FLD is backed by nextnewnetworks

  • you guys suck hole

    subarus rock

    your just pissed that its good , really good!

  • they liked it. They just found it homely. Like most people, and what they said, Subby's have rarely been what you would call attractive. Now there are fanboys that won't consider anything else and that is fine. But in reality you like what you like. It personally has grown on me, but when this version debuted, i found it repulsive.........to look at!

  • Top Gear said about the same thing.

    However I think I'd take the STI because it is far more reliable than the EVO atleast in the past.

    That might not be true with the 4b11

  • I wouldn't complain if someone gave me an impreza... but lancer vs impreza?... there's little between the 2 in terms of performance, handling, etc... from what i hear... but the lancer looks too cool!

  • WTF whats the deal with it being ugly..

  • seriously, i don't get it either, but in my opinion it looks good.

    It might be the hatchback shape or frontend that bothers people.

  • yeah thats true.. but ugly?? makes no sense.. just like most of these reviews

  • why dont u guys go on the real streets and test it out there too. Its called Everyday Driver, not track driving

  • @YelIowMamba haha i know these guys dont stick to their theme... ever

  • true but it says track review under lol

  • Our theme is finding and reviewing great cars real people can afford. We want people to own enthusiast cars, instead of boring appliances.

    Sometimes we get access to these cars at track events for press. Because we encourage enthusiast driving, we want to share those reviews with you as well. The alternative would be no review at all in some cases.

    With the one exception of showing an R8, can you be specific of how we are not sticking to our above theme?

  • u guys did reviews on some performance based cars such as z's, audi a4, and evo. But all those had reviews on practicality on real roads not tracks. this review was only track based.

  • We prefer street reviews, but this is certainly not our first track based review. (See our hot hatchback pieces from last year) Track time does still provide the chance to discuss power & handling.

    We have a series of track based reviews coming up, as we had access to multiple cars in a short period of time at a recent track event.

    This will allow us to offer more frequent content, as many have requested. However, we will always offer street drive reviews as that is our #1 interest & focus.

  • I'd rather have more frequent videos than sticking only to road reviews. Give us whatever you can, but your street reviews are some of the best around.
