If you are someone who admires the late 1990s World Rally scene, you probably know of Subaru’s success with the Impreza WRX STI.

Fast-forward 24 years and the company behind many of Subaru’s rally cars, Prodrive, has come up with an epic restomod called the… Read More →

When it comes to three-row family SUVs, the Subaru Ascent has been our number-one pick, and we rank it as the highest in value for your dollar in the segment. Moving to the 2023 model year, the Ascent’s pricing rises, but the SUV’s value (on paper) appears to hold. Even so, the Subaru sees an average price increase of around $2,400; hey, no one likes paying more, but that’s 2022 for you. Prices ascend by… Read More →

Subarus. We love them here at DirtFish. Every one of our Rally School vehicles sports the Pleiades star cluster on the hood – whether they’re the all-wheel-drive WRX or rear-wheel-drive BRZ. But for one day only on Sunday, August 7, DirtFish was about more than just its black and orange WRX and BRZ fleet. There were colors from the full boxer-engined spectrum. Big Northwest had come to town and DirtFish had been turned into Subaru… Read More →

There are likely tons of enthusiasts who think this comparison test would never be a fair fight. Conventional wisdom suggests all-wheel-drive sport compacts like the 2022 Subaru WRX are inherently better than front-drive cars like the 2022 Honda Civic Si, thanks to their four-corner traction.

Some time ago, I was told that the design life span on a Subaru powertrain was 500,000 miles, and that’s what Subaru advertised in Japan. Are you going to see that in the State of Minnesota? Heck no. However, we have a vehicle that is trying to come close. I purchased this 2002 Forester with 271,000 miles a decade or so ago, intending to use it to haul stuff as my other vehicle at the… Read More →
