@@its_aled8950 bro, the advice to give is always garage it (so paint stays fresh, and doesn't peel eventually, which it will if you park it outside perpetually). 2), ideally, you don't use it as a daily. Instead buy an old Camry or something for daily driving. And 3) just do the regular and proper car maintenance. Now I now for most people, especially young people, having 2 cars is not possible. But it's legit the best way to extend the life of a car (you can add like 10-30 years of extended life to it by doing this), and is important for sport cars. You never see people daily driving a Skyline, or a EVO, etc etc. If your car was an STI I would 100% advise this (due to the future collector value of the cars). But a WRX less so. Anyhow, I have 2 cars, with my daily being a Camry (and will prob buy a few more cars in the future lol). If you MUST daily it tho, then just be more strict on maintenance. More regular oil changes. And regularly check oil and other fluids yourself. And take it to a shop that knows the brand (a specialist shop - where you will pay more). Don't just take it to the generic mechanic shop that does all brands, they will 100% miss preventable problems. Once problems start compounding, that is when cars become a major headache. Also even when dailying, always garage it when not using it. And wash regularly. Do all that and you can still daily it no problem. It's actually 100% do-able and if done properly you won't have problems. Just know about Subaru's also, i.e. never ever rev hard on a cold engine, only rev remotely hard when it is fully to temp, always check the oil etc. Watch Mr Subaru also and learn about even doing some basic work or monitoring of parts yourself. Learn about common problems for your model that you should watch for (so you can catch them early), and so forth. Do all this it can last a very long time as a daily. Most young people don't do any of this, they skip services, they delay part replacements due to lack of funds, they don't garage the car at all, they drive like maniacs everywhere on cold engines, then they wonder why their USED 20+ year old car looks nothing like it did when they bought it only 5 years ago, with peeling paint, leaking oil, and sounding like a tractor lol. I basically did that with my 2nd hand 2004 Liberty (Legacy) when I was young. Don't do the same.

Not really if you buy Toyota/Lexus or Honda/Acura and you know about which models are the most reliable, you can easily get 300-400k+ miles out of the right cars if you know what you're looking for. They also have cheap parts and are easy to modify. You could buy a 90's to 2000's Camry and replace all of the worn internals for cheaper than buying new and it would probably last you twice as long too. Same with an LS, Integra or a Civic. I could buy a new transmission and engine for my 2001 Camry for 4000 or less which I probably won't even have to do until it's past 300k miles if not 400k+.

Well I'm 30 but I didn't know anything about cars and got obsessed with rotary engines and bought a barely running 2004 Mazda RX8 and drove the hell out of it. Learned how to work on cars and learned how to drive a manual transmission. I'm currently pulling out the motor and I'm rebuilding it myself. Best decision I've ever made, I love every second of driving that car. Boxer engines are my second favorite engine design after rotaries, and they both have a somewhat undeserved reputation as "unreliable" engines, so I feel kinship with Subarus when I see them lol. Plus that rally legacy will always be a part of the WRX.

After all it turned out to be more reliable then others cars who always flexed with em but only did standart maintenance cause thats all they could do... no shit things break all the time if you dont care or ignore whats about to happen if you dont.

28, got my Blobeye WRX 8 months ago. Though parts are worn and some things are going out on it, the 2.0T has been nothing but reliable for me so far in 10k miles. She has 188k now, and I swapped the front clip with a JDM Bugeye STi one with an STi wing to complete its idiocy. I regret nothing about this car. After driving plenty of fast cars in a straight line(particularly Dodges and pickup trucks), this car has been my favorite. Still stock internals(minus a muffler delete), plan to keep it that way. It's just a joy to hear and drive on a twisty backroad. My only regret is not buying one of these sooner after being blinded by muscle car/V8 bias...

Bought Japan imported EJ255 Legacy Wagon few months ago at 21, been loving it but gotta say that its been an learning experience for me and, probably for my wallet in the future as well. Currently going through some slight issues with the Torque Converter, feels amazing that youtube algorithm acknowledges my stupidity and bad financial decisions.

I just turned 22 this year and own two WRXs. My first is an 02 that I purchased when I was sixteen and the second is an 04 that I purchased a couple years ago. They are lots of fun and you can learn a ton taking them apart every weekend🙄. In all seriousness, if they are well taken care of/maintained properly they can be super reliable.

I own a 07 forester sg5 2.0 litre turbo and I absolutely love the car. Only has 75,000kms and I’ve done a bunch of preventive fixes ie. heater bypass, changing the entire timing belt kit, water pump, replacing the thermostat, flushing and refilling all the fluids and the list goes on 😂. If you take care of it and keep it stock it will treat you well. Love Subaru and the Impreza thank you for keeping them going

When I was 20 I wanted Lancer Evo X. I was subsequently talked out of it after being told it would become a money pit and went with volvo v70 that I've driven for 8 years now. I still kinda want to fulfill my dream, but there are no car services around me that would handle something this hot and getting right parts is extremely expensive, so I guess I'm sticking with the Swede that, despite being boring, really came in handy over the years.

Same. Bought my 06 STi back in 2008. I'm now 35 and still have it. They stay perfectly reliable as long as you keep up with the scheduled maintenance and don't mod it without doing a proper dyno tune for anything that affects air or fuel. Just a turbo-back exhaust and a dyno tune really wakes these cars up and gives it the perfect power for the street and it'll stay perfectly reliable. Gauges are an extra step to preventing anything. Whatever you do, don't drive on a Cobb OTS tune for any longer than you need to.

I have a subatu legacy of '04, it has been beaten up, it crushed once (now it wears some outback plastics) and it got watered down gas another time (had to change the becks) and on top of everything my family had to leave for 10 years untoutched because of economic issues. I picked it up, freshened it up a bit and it works perfectly. It shallows gasoline like its smarties in elementary school garden, but it gets me from point A to point B reliably. I am not huge in car racing or overall running with my car, i do abuse the 4x4 capabilities but that's it. Either way hope you enjoy yours, regardless if you regret it or not you still can have some good memories with it.

You’re right about the EJ205 being solid, most of the stuff online about Subaru reliability comes from badly modified EJ25s lifting head gaskets (also most of it comes from 12 year olds on instagram who don’t own a car). A stock 2 litre is really reliable as long as you keep up with maintenance.

The insurance must be hell, but it's with it! I didn't get my first WRX until around 30, but I've had nothing else since. Modified the hell out of my 2005 WRX wagon, traded it in for a brand-new 2017 STI (not nearly as good) before selling that and getting a 2005 Japanese import STI which currently needs a new engine..... Don't worry about head gaskets, that's generally only the 2.5 non-turbo models that chew through them, particularly in US spec hence KZitem says all Subarus kill themselves. Love the car, look after it!

Congratulations mate. The car looks actually very nice. Love the video as well. IMO do not invest much in a WRX, have fun ofcourse. if you can start modifying from STI base lateron, it will assure your investment. Additionally that exhaust pipe problem you will need to address it, due to the heat expansions putting them together later would be hectic. and these small things effect your turbo's performance and longevity.
