2011 Subaru WRX STi Sedan Epic Walkaround AccessPort

My new 2011 STi Sedan I traded my 2010 MazdaSpeed3 in for. I love it and look forward to modding it. I just recently flashed it to Stage 1 with the Cobb AccessPort I got from Boston Motorsports. They give really good discounts. 877.600.0267 and ask for Daniel.

As compared to the MazdaSpeed3, the acceleration was not impressive stock from a roll. My Speed3 felt faster. From a stop it was totally different and felt MUCH faster obviously. The Stage 1 however made a HUGE improvement and I highly recommend it. The handling feels better on the STi along with the shifter. The stock stereo is horrific though and I hate having to use a key again.

I'm finally working on some acceleration videos since I just got to 1,000 miles.

When Cobb released the Stage1+AEM map I will be adding CAI. Eventually I will do a downpipe and stage 2.

Songs are: "She Said" by Cold, by ES Posthumus, and "High Tension" from the Heavy Rain Soundtrack

@Aetherfury I was wondering since you have owned both the MS3 and the STI, how do the interior qualities compare? To me it looks like the Subaru have a less sporty looking interior with less attention to detail and finish than the MS3. Is this the case or are my eyes deceiving me? Love the new STI btw! Congrats!

[Aetherfury]

@xB4RK3R Honestly it's kind of hard to explain. The Subaru interior materials feel like better quality and are more solid, but they are a lot "older" looking than the more stylish MS3 interior was imo. Now that I'm used to it, I like the STI setup just fine, but at first it was a little shocking.

@Aetherfury Nice sti. I never really got into subaru but now that i am looking into them they are very convincing. I've seen them pull out ambulances in the snow. LOL! anyway, coming from bmw's and pretty much rear wheel driven cars, what is a subaru like. I understand u own a top of the line sti, but what is really great about them. I would go look it up and research it a bit but want to know it from an owner. never driven awd but i really want one since they own me at a stoplight lol. Thnks

[Aetherfury]

@homeboyskilletfresh I actually have a base model STi, but that is because fully loaded they are almost $40k. Mine was more like $32k. I would say the best thing is that they do "everything" pretty well. It's decently fast from a dig or roll, can be driven in the snow, gets acceptable gas mileage and still has 4 doors to take friends (or drive my daughter around) There are faster cars and RWD is more fun, but it's nice to have a daily driver that can do it all. Oh yeah, AWD drives like a tank.

[homeboyskilletfresh]

@Aetherfury But what about this whole boxer engine thing. I mean are they reliable? Are the parts expensive? From a performance point of view what is the awd like? I've driven front and rear wheel drive cars and they do different things on corners. RWD u put gas into a corner and with FWD gas in the apex of a corner. What is the AWD like in a corner? Do you add more gas in the turn or what? Sorry for the ? marks but I am looking into a WRX since I live in Indiana. Need something good for summer2

[Aetherfury]

@homeboyskilletfresh I think any engine is reliable if treated right, but it's a pretty solid engine regardless of what you hear online. Parts are a little bit more expensive than my old Mazda. It drives more like FWD in a corner (ie. you can floor it through most of the corner and it holds like a champ) it also understeers like FWD so when it loses traction it pushes straight instead of kicking out. RWD is more fun, but I like AWD better.

@abysal311 IMO sedan is the way to go.

Congrats on the purchase!

Great production value there in the video ;)

I will take a leap here and say ....Stage 2 is going to be the sequel.

Nice editing

[dr356yrds]

I like almost everything about that car....... Except the WING = PUKE

I had a '10 sti hatch loved it - would have considered a wingless sedan for sure if i was in the market.

Nice video! What programs did you use to make it?

[grado1000]

@Aetherfury Wow! Nice upgrade here. The Mazdaspeed3 community will miss your awesome videos, but I assume we'll see some from you with this Subie! May I ask what the plateau of your MS3 in terms of mods was? Again, looking forward to vids of the STI.

You got the right color! ;)

You sir are genius. This video was to hilarious. Must have more!

[Chucketh]

Absolutely EPIC LoL! I laughed so loud when the COBB AP showed up in the mail I gave myself away at work that I was not working very much LoL! The email is like many of us car folk I believe! Excellent video.
