The drive from MT headquarters to the house was about 400 miles. Highway rated at 26 mpg with a 16.6-gallon tank, our 2022 Subaru WRX yearlong test car would… Read More →

You could look at the Crosstrek as Subaru’s tough little do-it-all crossover, or simple as a beefed up Impreza hatchback. Regardless, the Crosstrek has been wildly successful.

PEERLESS SEMENUK DOMINATES LSPR TO CLOSE PERFECT SEASON

Twelve months on from celebrating a hard-fought first American title, Brandon Semenuk cemented his place among the Stateside rallying greats with a season of total domination – culminating in another start-to-finish win at the Lake Superior Performance Memorial Rally.
