Fuel and maintenance tend to grab the headlines when it comes to car costs. In reality, depreciation is another big issue owners have to deal with. Unless you plan on running your car into the ground without selling it at some point, depreciation should matter to you. Usually, the average new car experiences its steepest depreciation in the first two years, losing approximately 30% of its value, according to Kelley Blue Book (KBB). After that… Read More →

On September 12, 2025, the final Subaru Legacy sedan was driven off the line at the company’s factory in Lafayette, Indiana. The last example was pretty typical for the nameplate. Painted Magnetite Gray, it was equipped with a 182-hp 2.5-liter flat-four, all-wheel drive, a nice stereo, and leather seats. The last Legacy isn’t exactly what you’d call exciting stuff, especially if you grew up with a poster of a bright blue WRX STI launching itself… Read More →

Crossover vehicles have taken the modern automotive landscape by storm, with many crediting different cars as the original disruptors. From the AMC Eagle to the Jeep Cherokee to the Subaru Outback, cars in the western world have been crossing category lines for decades, but I just learned about a mid-1950s Soviet-era car that predates them all. It’s called the GAZ M-72, and it blended the unibody structure from GAZ’s sedan with a true off-road ready… Read More →

Subaru’s model lineup has felt a bit antithetical to the brand’s image for much of the 2020s. Subaru’s key demographics – with the exception of WRX bros – seem like the sort of environmentally conscious buyers in liberal states that would embrace the move toward fuel-efficient hybrid and battery-electric vehicles. But Subaru’s offerings have not catered to that sentiment at all. Subaru partners with Toyota on electric vehicles, which has meant – for better or… Read More →

Four-time American champion Brandon Semenuk will miss next week’s Overmountain Rally due to mountain bike commitments. The Canadian star’s presence at the season-closing Lake Superior Performance Rally has also yet to be confirmed. Subaru USA Motorsports will field just one Subaru – Travis Pastrana’s WRX STI ARA25L – in Tennessee next week. As the world’s most celebrated mountain biker – with a record five Red Bull Rampage wins to his name – Semenuk has to… Read More →

There was very little wrong with the Subaru Solterra EV that debuted in 2022 beyond range and charging times. At its California debut, it sliced through Santa Barbara traffic and proved its off-road chops on Catalina. It was a no-hassle city car and all-capable Subaru – as long as you didn’t have far to go and had plenty of time to get there. Now, we’re in mile-high Denver with a much-improved Solterra that puts critics… Read More →

Subaru vehicles are known for their all-wheel drive capabilities, remarkable safety ratings, and durable engines. This brand offers many reliable models that can last 200,000 miles or more, especially if well-maintained. According to Subaru, 97% of its vehicles sold within the last 10 years are still on the road today. In 2024, Subaru sold 667,725 units in the United States, giving the company just over a 4% market share. With its excellent lineup of vehicles that… Read More →

A forgotten hero, the Subaru SVX has an impeccable origin story: dreams of conquering the USA, aircraft-inspired styling like no other car before or since – and a fatal flaw that put it out of contention. That said, Subaru had form for pushing boundaries, as Jason Cammisa’s video on the XT Turbo explained. Released in 1991 in the US and Japan, then stuffed awkwardly the following year into UK showrooms the “Subaru Vehicle X”, (the… Read More →

The 2026 Subaru Outback includes some adventure-friendly upgrades, like an upsized rear cargo space for packing more gear. Of course, that extra room is possible thanks to the Outback’s boxier exterior, which has been polarizing, to say the least. Yet the trade-off between adding room and removing the Outback’s traditional, wagon-esque style at least provides a measurable benefit. It’s a different story with the new taillights, which also work as a measuring device.
