Are Subaru's Actually Meant to be Rally Cars? (Subaru Testing)

Video summary

Press to jump

0:53Brady inspects the used Subaru, consults Cobey by phone and negotiates with the dealership.
3:23The drive home brings a stuck fuel door, excessive oil and a snapped AC belt.
7:23Repeated blown fuses interrupt the Subaru's runs across the farm.
10:14A dirt-donut test coats the engine bay and breaks the mass airflow sensor.
13:42The crew adds yellow rally graphics before racing Nick's Honda Civic; the outcome comes at 16:58.
18:48Chained to an excavator, the Subaru attempts an all-wheel-drive burnout on wet, soapy pavement.

The Bluetooth setup puts up resistance before the dirt track ever gets a chance. Brady's purchase of a used Subaru WRX STI gives WhistlinDiesel 1000 a durability test that starts with dealership negotiations and quickly becomes a succession of mechanical complaints.

"Are Subaru's Actually Meant to be Rally Cars? (Subaru Testing)" is comfortably the busiest of the channel's two uploads this week, reaching roughly 1.7 million views. The other, "Any guesses as to what the next video is?", offers a much smaller, question-shaped companion.

The Subaru's trip home brings a stuck fuel door and a snapped AC belt. Across the farm, blown fuses repeatedly cut engine power. Brady then takes the experiment considerably beyond a normal used-car inspection, spinning the wheels while the car is elevated on a lift and coating the engine bay in dirt during donuts. The video includes a paid sportsbook segment.

Homemade yellow rally decals give the blue car its competition look before Nick arrives in a battered Civic. In the comments, viewers keep returning to how much punishment the Subaru withstands, particularly its engine and drivetrain. Others are already asking for a Bugatti video or a Tesla durability test.

Across the channel, daily views are running above their usual level, while subscribers held steady over the week. Gas Monkey Garage also has an elevated daily audience; TheStraightPipes is having a quieter stretch than usual.

The Subaru now carries the most momentum on WhistlinDiesel 1000, but September's "Destroying a pulling tractor in 18 seconds" continues drawing views, alongside the separate tractor Short. The new car has changed the week's subject without clearing the machinery out of the picture.
