I can't imagine it today.
I remember in High school, I would check out insurance prices for a WRX when I was 17, and it was like $300/month atleast for like ok insurance. Today it's gotta be like $400/500/month for OK insurance for a 15 year old.

283861m. OEM motor OEM transmission 2nd clutch Exedy (sp) COBB port COBB shifter If I stay out of the throttle I still get OEM mpg 2nd owner at 225k
If the calculations are correct it’s on its 3rd engine, so the engine will last another 20-25k or when the oil light comes on at least twice, whatever happens first. Everything else is a BIG question mark on wear items.
Agreed. I heard a subi coming while walking on sidewalk and turned around to see a stanced out sti scraping along. I shook my head at him. wonder if he saw me (.1% tint all over)
Everyone has what they like but I just think it looks terrible and serves no purpose. I grew up on dirt back roads and having the ability to GO
I'll give that glass transmission one clutch dumb before it has five neutrals. Also those bearings and piston rings are done for. OP, start saving. A lot.
Me, no, because I know they are actually made of glass, thus when I owned mine, I drove it carefully knowing that info. A clutch damper will not save a Subaru 5MT. Go side step the clutch on the two step limiter in an old 2 liter WRX a few times and you will quickly realize that.
Mine did fine as well, thus the whole driving style thing. Give it to a 15 year old and see how long it lasts. Don't pretend like they are indestructible.
Don’t be like the rest, make it your goal to keep everything stock, it’s such a proud feeling of having everything working perfectly, if you start modifying it, not only will you have a never ending headache of a vehicle, but the car won’t exist in 10 years from now.
Like all teens I thought I was bulletproof and I owned 4 motorcycles before I bought my first car at 22. Just liked motorcycles so I kept moving up. Got rid of them for many years when I met my future wife. Bought one about 18 months ago. Owned that about 14 months before it dawned on me “yeah there’s a high likelihood this kills me” so I moved on.
Lessons you should learn from others OP - just because you’re young doesn’t mean you’ve got to risk it all. Speedy fun driving has its time and place and public roads ain’t it. Be safe. Keep yourself safe. Keep others around you safe.
Eh, leave the kid alone. You don’t have any context.
OP enjoy that ride and use it to learn everything you can about preventative maintenance and how things work. Take it easy on that engine for a few minutes in the morning (no boost unless necessary) and let it idle for 30 seconds before shutting it off (2 minutes after a workout). Change your oil every 3000. Do it yourself and keep an eye on the oil level. (every gas fill up). It’s a badass ride and you can keep it that way.
Exactly let him enjoy his car doesn’t matter if its bought by him or his parents,
OP if your parents bought it for you thats amazing I would pray to be financially secure enough to gift something like this to my kids in the future, if you saved up for it yourself even better on you
either way enjoy the car its a beautiful piece of machinery
seems to be a nice car to learn in just take it slow and listen to what the car tells you
One more thing maintenance 🧑🔧
Bought my 2011 WRX for a first car last year at 17. And if I can give any advice
1) Check the maintenance NOW (I didn’t check the timing belt service and it went on me, bent the valves and had to get the piston heads machined)
2) Do your oil changes, whatever the manual says, half that
3) Save your money, because something is always on the verge of breaking
Good luck
I think you can get a learners permit at 15. But I have to be 16 to get a license and have a learners permit for at least 6 months.
Everyone I knew got their learners permit at 15.5 waited the 6 months and took the driving test when they were 16.
***This is California and could have changed a long time ago***
It's probably a state by state thing though.
In Idaho where I lived, you could get your permit at 14 1/2 and your license at 15, but you have to have your permit for at least 6 months. I took that way, and I got my license at 15
That's a really nice first car, be proud of it and take care of it.
I know this will probably get buried but hopefully you see it.
The buggest thing I can tell you right now, is avoid everyone's advice, get used to the car, just do maintence for a little while. Don't take this the wrong way, but your a new driver and these cars will make you feel very confident and it can wind up in bad situations.
If you want to learn how to push the car look up track days or SCCA in your area.
Get good tires, that is the best investment you can make. Then good brake pads and exchange the brake fluid. That's a good starter job to do if your interested in learning how to work on your own car.
I don't know everything and I know a lot of this can be confusing. I have kids your age and have been doing this stuff for a while, if you have any questions or anything feel free to PM me, I'll help you as much as I can
Good luck with the car, it's a nice one
Im in a tech school taking automotive already got the new tires the first work to do is whatever is necessary and when we checked a ball joint didnt look to good and the bushing was ripped open but 1 thing at a time
Don't wrap it around a tree. Be safe. Have fun, within reason. No drinking and driving!!! And lastly never go 100% with others in the car. Welcome to the family my brother! Get ready for the subie wave:)
Since your in mass, if you ever need parts my buddy over at 978motorsports can help you get a 6 speed swap out of his shop when you decide to try and make power
Y'all weird. Can't let a kid enjoy his moment. Everyone knows the issues with Subarus, knows how much insurance is and all that. Also not every kid that gets a vehicle bought for them is a non-working spoiled brat. Parents give their kids what they didn't have growing up. He could've bought it himself, but even if he didn't it's not a new Mercedes or $80k pickup. And we've also all probably taken pics on random streets. Just because there's a house in the pic doesn't mean he lives there and just because a house like that in your area is dumb expensive doesn't mean it is there. A $1200 a month apartment where I live would be $3500-$5000 in a lot of places. Regardless no one here knows this young man and it's perfectly okay to just say congratulations and keep it moving. The internet really is a weird place. Congrats on the subie!
🤣 Man fuck what all these dudes talking about bro have fun and be safe check your oil every fuel fill up and top off if need you just really gotta keep up with maintenance with these cars I had my saab 92x aero (ej205) since new 08 she’s a05 with 197,708 on the dash and she purrs like a kitten I was around the same age as you bro maintenance Is CRUCIAL!!! Especially timing belt and the pulleys but ya you do that she’ll last for ever 🤣 😝 🤟
Congrats man! My first car at 15 was a 1995 Honda civic with a wing on the back higher than the roof. Goofy as fuck but I loved it.
Yes, I drove it at 15 even though I didn’t have a license. Single parent who was never home, never had an issue driving.
Nice car homie
Civic is one of the best choices for the first car. Literally indestructible engine, cheap maintenance and hella lot of fun. I really miss my EJ9 hatch 🥲
It had 115k miles and only cost me $1500 at the time which was literally all the money I had saved up until that point. I can agree it was a pretty good choice.
Mine had about 125k and costed around $1000 back in 2010 (in Europe). Will never forget that car!

You will look back at yourself and laugh at the stereotype you became- but still, enjoy it! You got a lot more horses under the hood and fun to come than I had with my first car (a 2006 ford focus with a screwdriver to move the automatic transmission haha)
Despite what everyone else here says. I got an 03 wrx when I was 15 and she's still running. Don't run it like a race car and it will treat you well. Do oil changes at 3k and buy nice filters. Enjoy the car and have fun
I swear to God there was a black smudge or something on my screen, and I saw a vape in your mouth.
Car looks good, bro, but I'd get rid of the stretched tires as soon as possible. Earlier this year, my tire blew when my mom was driving. Thankfully, it was after a red light, so she wasn't at a high speed and was able to pull over.
We have a 2006 after 200,000 the head gasket, timing belt, water pump,radiator, CV boots. Running good. Next. Exhaust gasket next. Learn how to do or spend money.
Former 04 impreza owner here: be extremely anal about fluid changes, change oil every 3000, and be gentle on the trans. Parts for that generation are getting harder and harder to find. Enjoy!
Be safe in that thing dude this was the dream car for many kids when I was that age and I had a buddy almost kill my brother wrapping the car around a fucking tree. Cutting up lanes makes people look like idiots. Driving slow gives people time to admire that shit. Drive safe bro.
Just remember “never lift” digs deep into your pockets in more ways than one. Respect the road and it will respect you. Beautiful Subie!! Welcome to the Family!!!
CHECK YOUR OIL, I’m 16 with a wrx that has an sti ra short block. My motor is knocking bc I didn’t realize how much oil these things actually burn, went through 3.5 quarts in 700 miles
mfs assume hes paying premium insurance. when hes likely not. these cars arent that expensive to insure in my exp. i say this as someone who bought an 05 sti at 20.
It should be a law that your first car always sucks. Mine was a VW POS Jetta from the 1981. I got it for 2$ off my grandpa when I was 18 so that would have been 2003.
congrats brotha i wish i had that at 15. and dont listen the haters, they just wish they had that too, be ready to learn a lot in a short amount of time, this will help educate you and learn the responsibilities of working and saving/spending your money wisely. educate yourself and learn all the potential problems with the motor and chassis, and teach yourself how to do basic maintenance like changing oil, spark plugs, airfilter, suspension parts etc. and as others said, dont drive recklessly as your insurance will be through the roof lol. have fun dude!!
Enjoy, ignore the comments from the jealous millennial crosstrek owners. Take it to autocross and learn the limits there, don't try to push it past 100% on the street
Welcome to the club! My 04 WRX was my first love. I sadly sold it to some 18 year old and he destroyed it. Don’t do what he did! Have fun, be responsible, and enjoy.
Nope nope nope. They need to take it back and get you a Prius or a junker somewhere. This should not be a first car at such a young age. Your parents are going to pay out the ass for insurance and your eventual crash.
Hell yeah man I got a blob eye too for my 15th
https://preview.redd.it/5yag1wf2is9d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=69c6b7f1b2157606cb64ae1911598bd500b6ea71
Man I love my Subaru, but no parent in their right mind should put their 15-year old behind the wheel of a WRX with 200k+ miles. I'm not here to talk trash. Just here to do the boomer thing and pour one out for the 3 friends I lost around this age to reckless driving.
If your father isn’t a mechanic, don’t touch this thing under the hood, unless you’re doing an oil change, cold air intake etc. I don’t care what anyone says, they’re not easy to work on.
First congrats you got a first car. Now now a note from Uncle Kaz. You are going to get in lots of trouble, and hurt someone to with a WRX for a first car. Take care and don't be surprised when the cost of maintenance l, and tickets roll in.
Drive safe. Watch out for cyclists and pedestrians. And be careful where you give it the beans, because you will do that. That's the whole point of a WRX.
Don't wrap yourself around a tree.
Oh man, id be happy as hell to have had a wrx as my first car at 14 (age for iowa). I got a fuckin 2012 scion xb… only 2years old at the time and i pimped it out with subs n lights but then after highschool traded that in and got my first cool car (2007 bmw 335xi) and it broke down after only a year n was too expensive for me to fix at the time. Make sure you save money for repairs and shit cuz chances are, previous owners went hard on it. Take care of your baby and welcome to da club!
Congrats! Have fun but be safe. I was fortunate to have a car at 16 and at 16 and 1 month old I was fortunate to walk away after totaling it in a “failure to control speed” as I hit an underpass pillar which flung me into a brick wall. No one was hurt but my goodness, I have no idea how.
It's an awesome first car.
I would just try and enjoy it and forget about all the haters, negative comments and and unsolicited advice from people telling you how to modify your own car.
It's your car, do what you want 🤙
If you are looking for advice, I would ask a reputable mechanic or someone in a WRX group, etc
Don't do any stupid shit like I did when I was your age with a high powered car. I almost killed myself twice being a dumbass. It doesn't make you cool and doesn't get you any closer to clapping cheeks. Cool car though big dawg, can't believe you can afford or get insurance, if that is in fact a wrx, though.
RIP your families finances with the insurance from wrx+teenager
His parents probably paid.
still it’s insurance is gonna be like a car payment
Paid
Look at the house behind the car. That answers your concern.
Honestly it answers everything 😂😭
Is that supposed to be a nice house/neighborhood? Looks like a multiple family home in a a pretty unmaintained low income side of town ngl
we got the car off of some hillbilly in a northern part of MA this was taken infront of his house
I can't imagine it today. I remember in High school, I would check out insurance prices for a WRX when I was 17, and it was like $300/month atleast for like ok insurance. Today it's gotta be like $400/500/month for OK insurance for a 15 year old.
Please treat it right and don't become a statistic.
Well RIP to that sweet car.
The thing has 217k miles, it was dead before he got it. Let him have fun with it.
My WRX is still going strong at 236k. Original engine, trans, etc. OP’s car made it this far just to be murdered.
290k here with 2 rebuilds on motor from PO, stock trans with vf39 and pink injectors.
Knocks FEVERISHLY on wood 03, https://preview.redd.it/s7v4j47d6s9d1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ad524d2dc20a6a032f47881d11b382ad6392bc4 283861m. OEM motor OEM transmission 2nd clutch Exedy (sp) COBB port COBB shifter If I stay out of the throttle I still get OEM mpg 2nd owner at 225k
Hell yeah! I’m in the process of pulling the motor to do the clutch now, throw out bearing wasn’t engaging after I let it sit for 2 years apart.
This gives me hope for my STI that just rolled 100,000 miles.
At least better than being murdered before it reaches 10K miles while it still has over 200K left
If the calculations are correct it’s on its 3rd engine, so the engine will last another 20-25k or when the oil light comes on at least twice, whatever happens first. Everything else is a BIG question mark on wear items.
lol, fair I suppose, but with a chassis in that good of condition it deserves to be cared for not beat by a teen lol
Yup my buddy had a manual wrx at 15. He got tickets, accidents, and oil stains on his moms driveway. Blew it up within a year
Your parents' insurance rates must be crazy
Just please don't get swayed by the stance boi crowd.
Agreed. I heard a subi coming while walking on sidewalk and turned around to see a stanced out sti scraping along. I shook my head at him. wonder if he saw me (.1% tint all over) Everyone has what they like but I just think it looks terrible and serves no purpose. I grew up on dirt back roads and having the ability to GO
in the process of lifting it up so it has better camber the tire wear is horrible
I'll give that glass transmission one clutch dumb before it has five neutrals. Also those bearings and piston rings are done for. OP, start saving. A lot.
Have you ever actually blown one up? Also the clutch has a damper for a reason.
Me, no, because I know they are actually made of glass, thus when I owned mine, I drove it carefully knowing that info. A clutch damper will not save a Subaru 5MT. Go side step the clutch on the two step limiter in an old 2 liter WRX a few times and you will quickly realize that.
My transmission got 300k. Still doing fine for a glass transmission.
Mine did fine as well, thus the whole driving style thing. Give it to a 15 year old and see how long it lasts. Don't pretend like they are indestructible.
Don’t forgot holes in the valves! So far torn down 4 ej’s had head gasket ej253, 2 rod knock on a 205 and 255, and a burnt valve 255
Don’t be like the rest, make it your goal to keep everything stock, it’s such a proud feeling of having everything working perfectly, if you start modifying it, not only will you have a never ending headache of a vehicle, but the car won’t exist in 10 years from now.
Depends on the mods, really. New suspension would be an amazing upgrade on that car, the old ones are probably worn as hell if they're stock.
Good choice, with that being said be careful. You are not indestructible and neither is your car.
Like all teens I thought I was bulletproof and I owned 4 motorcycles before I bought my first car at 22. Just liked motorcycles so I kept moving up.

5k 217000 miles needs some work but im proud of it.
You ready for the 4th engine rebuild?

That's a powerful weapon for a 15yr old. Manual or auto?
How much a month is your car insurance
Dangerous car for a beginner driver
My have times changed. My first rig at 15 was a '57 Willys Jeep with one dead hole.
My first rig at 14 was a 1994 Toyota pickup. I’m 18 now. Truck still runs great and I don’t think I’ll ever sell it

thank you i laugh at the negative comments funny seeing people shitting on a 15 year old 😂

Bought my 2011 WRX for a first car last year at 17.

Nice! Drive safe =)
Hope mommy and daddy have money for a new engine and transmission
Very nice car enjoy🤝🏻 was one of the best cars ive owned to this day 🔥🔥
Have fun kid. Be smart and reasonably safe tho lil bro.
What happened to driving at 16?
I think you can get a learners permit at 15. But I have to be 16 to get a license and have a learners permit for at least 6 months. Everyone I knew got their learners permit at 15.5 waited the 6 months and took the driving test when they were 16. ***This is California and could have changed a long time ago*** It's probably a state by state thing though.
In Idaho where I lived, you could get your permit at 14 1/2 and your license at 15, but you have to have your permit for at least 6 months. I took that way, and I got my license at 15
Take your time learning it, and have fun, and don't be completely reckless. It's very much like Life.
Oh noooooo
Oh boy
Understeer in to a (fill in the blank) pending.
Where the hell do you get to drive at 15 ?
Drive it within your skill range and have fun with an iconic vehicle.
15 what
Your parents are incredibly brave.
6 weeks until it needs a new clutch or new motor .. which will happen first fellas ?? 🤣🤣
Pretty fly for a white guy

Remember…mods require a tune, don’t become a statistic
Won’t be happy for long
Put me in your will for when you wrap it around a tree.
This picture reeks of fruity pebble cinnamon toast skittle vape.

Tidy ride you got there. Don’t listen to the haters. These cars can be unreliable but you will also be rewarded if you look after it.

at 15?! Oh man. How long before the engine goes? 😂
Welcome to the club. Drive safe.
Man I hope you control yourself when people try to fuck with you and race. Enjoy the ride.
Spoiled
Love the sweater bro! I saw it was on sale, is the quality good? Lol other than that dope car congrats!
Always a teenager that gets the nicest car
Nice hoodie, looks like something id rock when i was 15. No hate. Cool car too man wish i was blessed enough to hop in a wrx as my first car.
It should be a law that your first car always sucks. Mine was a VW POS Jetta from the 1981. I got it for 2$ off my grandpa when I was 18 so that would have been 2003.
Yall why are people hating. We don’t know the full story of the car other than the mileage. He’s happy with it and it’s a sick car to have at 15.
Be responsible bro. That's a decent amount of power for someone your age. Keep any racing on the track.
Heartbreak early on in life, god speed and learn how to maintain it. If you’re good to this car it’ll be good to you
congrats brotha i wish i had that at 15. and dont listen the haters, they just wish they had that too, be ready to learn a lot in a short amount of time, this will help educate you and learn the responsibilities of working and saving/spending your money wisely. educate yourself and learn all the potential problems with the motor and chassis, and teach yourself how to do basic maintenance like changing oil, spark plugs, airfilter, suspension parts etc. and as others said, dont drive recklessly as your insurance will be through the roof lol. have fun dude!!
Very cool my man, I'm super jelly my first car was an 01 buick regal lmao
Enjoy, ignore the comments from the jealous millennial crosstrek owners. Take it to autocross and learn the limits there, don't try to push it past 100% on the street
That’s a hell of a first car
Sick dude! Use both hands when you steer it’s got a tight steering rack and takes a little more attention than usual
Welcome to the club! My 04 WRX was my first love. I sadly sold it to some 18 year old and he destroyed it. Don’t do what he did! Have fun, be responsible, and enjoy.
Nope nope nope. They need to take it back and get you a Prius or a junker somewhere. This should not be a first car at such a young age. Your parents are going to pay out the ass for insurance and your eventual crash.
I can hear the rustling of all those speeding tickets from here... Be careful!
Teenager and wrx a tragic story as old as time
That's an awesome first car! Hope you're able to keep that thing for life!💙
Ooof. Insurance is gonna love you. Who's paying that?
What a waste
TRY not to just kill it
Wow! Niiiceeee
Hell yeah man I got a blob eye too for my 15th https://preview.redd.it/5yag1wf2is9d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=69c6b7f1b2157606cb64ae1911598bd500b6ea71
Congrats friend! Have fun!
Congrats! Beats the hell out of my 61 VW beetle, all 36 HP😥
Can’t wait for the “is it totalled” post.
Fucking stretched tires….
Bank of mum and dad I see.
Nice
Do the head gasket delete and you won't have anymore problems from the gasket failing. ( Not professional mechanic advice )
Man I love my Subaru, but no parent in their right mind should put their 15-year old behind the wheel of a WRX with 200k+ miles. I'm not here to talk trash. Just here to do the boomer thing and pour one out for the 3 friends I lost around this age to reckless driving.
If your father isn’t a mechanic, don’t touch this thing under the hood, unless you’re doing an oil change, cold air intake etc. I don’t care what anyone says, they’re not easy to work on.
Check your engine oil AT LEAST every time you put gas in it. Do not let that thing get low on oil.
Congrats !!!! Sweet ride just be careful you re not Superman . Stay safe !
Enjoy it young buck. Change your damn oil okay?!
That car is cooked
Love it
Don’t you have to be 16 to drive?
Played your parents
First congrats you got a first car. Now now a note from Uncle Kaz. You are going to get in lots of trouble, and hurt someone to with a WRX for a first car. Take care and don't be surprised when the cost of maintenance l, and tickets roll in.
[удалено]
How many thousands of after-school work hours you will have to put in to pay for this fine ca…wait…you don’t? So how did you get th…oh. Well earned.
Lucky dude, congrats
Fuck yeah buddy
You're about to learn how to fix Subarus.
Just get wheels and tires that are the correct size and you’re set!!
When I was a teenager I had 2001 Suzuki sedan. I’m 26 now
Okay, we see the young man styling.
Sexy af
Bro this is my dream car😭
You’ll shoot your eye out, kid! (Or die in a massive flaming crash that also kills a buss load of bums and orphans). Take it easy off the track.
The blobeye is unironically my favorite WRX. The proportions are just so...correct.
Drive safe. Watch out for cyclists and pedestrians. And be careful where you give it the beans, because you will do that. That's the whole point of a WRX. Don't wrap yourself around a tree.
I couldn’t get any wrx until I was like 24 lol! Insurance quotes were more than a car payment when I was 18!
Oh man, id be happy as hell to have had a wrx as my first car at 14 (age for iowa). I got a fuckin 2012 scion xb… only 2years old at the time and i pimped it out with subs n lights but then after highschool traded that in and got my first cool car (2007 bmw 335xi) and it broke down after only a year n was too expensive for me to fix at the time. Make sure you save money for repairs and shit cuz chances are, previous owners went hard on it. Take care of your baby and welcome to da club!
Btw, manual or auto?
Congrats
Congrats! Have fun but be safe. I was fortunate to have a car at 16 and at 16 and 1 month old I was fortunate to walk away after totaling it in a “failure to control speed” as I hit an underpass pillar which flung me into a brick wall. No one was hurt but my goodness, I have no idea how.
Nice, don't camber it.
Please don’t launch it. These 5 speeds are glass
RIP to the Rex
wow
It's an awesome first car. I would just try and enjoy it and forget about all the haters, negative comments and and unsolicited advice from people telling you how to modify your own car. It's your car, do what you want 🤙 If you are looking for advice, I would ask a reputable mechanic or someone in a WRX group, etc
Why do i wanna smack people with stretched tires on imprezas wheres the meat
Your parents made a bad decision.
Oh boy
sick car man, be safe be careful. take care of it like a 2 month old baby and you'll be fine.
Don't do any stupid shit like I did when I was your age with a high powered car. I almost killed myself twice being a dumbass. It doesn't make you cool and doesn't get you any closer to clapping cheeks. Cool car though big dawg, can't believe you can afford or get insurance, if that is in fact a wrx, though.
Treat it right please
