    “Not the most efficient car.. but we get hood struts” lol
  • @RJTamm93
    I feel like the only person on earth who thinks this looks substantially better than the last car.
  • @aritruths1452
    Nothing like a good 6 AM Toper upload to watch on a Saturday morning!
  • The fact that they fixed the atrocious rev hang from the prior generation is alone to warrant applause. Kudos, Subaru.
  • Just got my white 22 wrx yesterday. Absolutely love this car! Everyone saying they hate how it looks will be jumping on the bandwagon guaranteed! Car looks and drives incredible!
  • Throwing this out there, I love sitting in my downtime and watching these reviews. Very in depth, keep ‘em coming!
  • @postalpancho
    Had a 2015 WRX. Great value, performance and makes a great daily. Last model had really bad rev hang and a lumpy OEM tune. Nice to hear they’ve addressed those complaints. Best part of it is that you don’t feel bad for owning one if you have kids because the back seats aren’t cramped at all.
  • @bubbleman2002
    I have covid right now and feel like crap. Thanks for keeping me entertained.
  • @tetravx-553
    Finally! I was always wondering when Topher would do it! Thanks man!
  • @waykool698
    My man. Been waiting on this video for a few months now. 👌
  • @updogyee1290
    Something they did great on this new body is the exhaust note, sounds nice!
  • @jimmuse546
    Just bought a 2023 Ice Silver, your video gave me confirmation on the daily drive, test drove it at dealership you were spot on. Great channel, keep up the fantastic Pov reviews!
  • @JonTran75
    I watch plenty of reviews and your format is by far the best. Your POV view is far better for the audience. I just can’t understand why some reviewers have the camera on them talking and waving their arms about. May as well sit at your dinner table. Your review process is greatly appreciated well done
  • @Kzstackzzz
    it's so satisfying watching your videos i love your videos man
  • Omg finally. I've been waiting for this one for so long. I love watching Topher drive the wrx.
  • @Brandzter96
    Im glad I get to watch his vids whenever Im on youtube
  • @nicholas6039
    I was hesitant about this first gen model, but your review really convinced me to get one! Thank you.
  • @QueTheChaotic
    I’ve been waiting for this one. I’m glad you enjoyed it. There are so many good cars in this range. I appreciate the AWD of the WRX. I drove the last Gen STI and that was a more difficult manual to drive. It rewards you and punishes you for good or bad driving. I felt the gears were too close in the gearbox. I need to test drive this. It’s a great value for the price. Love the orange too
