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.

The redesigned 2022 Subaru WRX family looks a bit different from years prior. With the STI now DOA and this new GT model topping the range, you’d be forgiven for seeing this transformation as an about-face for a nameplate that grew an international following based on its motorsports forays. But despite the GT’s more luxurious pretensions, it brings some performance features to the WRX family for the first time, meriting evaluation even if its transmission… Read More →

Notes: The Subaru Outback is the only midsize car to earn a good rating.. In the test, the new barrier weighs 4,200 pounds — close to the weight of today’s midsize SUVs — and strikes the test vehicle at 37 mph, compared with a 3,300-pound barrier traveling at 31 mph in the original evaluation. Only three of seven midsize cars tested earn good or acceptable ratings in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s updated side… Read More →
