Subaru of America, Inc. (SOA) today released its 2022 Corporate Impact Report, detailing for the fifth year how they share the love with their customers, employees, environment, and community. One highlight not included within the report is the recent announcement that Points of Light has named Subaru a 2023 Civic 50 Honoree, recognizing the automaker as one of the 50 most community-minded companies in America, for the third consecutive year. “We’d like to thank our… Read More →

The good folks at Edmunds do it differently from the usual standing quarter mile, though. Their U-Drag Race format begins with a quarter mile, followed by a braking zone and a hairpin turn. The contenders then duke it out back to the start/finish line. That being said, let’s take a look at how these Subarus stack up in terms of power, torque, curb weight, and starting price. Finished in Ice Silver Metallic, the BRZ is… Read More →

While several automakers are abandoning the manual gearbox, Subaru is not only keeping it alive but also combining it with more ADAS features. The first Subaru Eyesight suite for manual transmission vehicles will debut in a revised JDM-spec BRZ which is scheduled to arrive in fall 2023. Subaru has sold more than 5.5 million vehicles with the EyeSight suite since its debut in 2008, but all of them came with an automatic gearbox. In a… Read More →

Starting later in 2023, Subaru BRZ buyers in Japan won’t need to give up the manual transmission to order the EyeSight suite of electronic driving aids (or vice versa). The company developed a version of its well-regarded technology that’s compatible with three-pedal cars for its home market. The new version of EyeSight is based on the technology that’s already offered on the automatic BRZ. It bundles several driving aids such as automatic emergency braking, adaptive… Read More →

The 2023 Subaru Forester Wilderness builds on the already solid reputation the Forster cultivated for over two decades. Even in its earliest form, back in 1998, the Subaru Forster offered a combination of utilitarian packaging, all-wheel drive (AWD) capability and just a hint of fun. I should know, my fiancé and I bought one in 1999 as a 2000 model. It lasted through the early days of marriage, and children – in Colorado. It’s still… Read More →

As with other manufacturers, Subaru now mostly sells crossovers. However, while the compact Crosstrek is the bestseller in the Subaru constellation, there’s still a need for a compact car in the lineup. The all-new 2024 Subaru Impreza provides a bookend for Subaru’s customers, being both an entry-level model, and also ideal for those looking to downsize. Read More →

They’re the cars that helped make a hero. That created a legend. That shaped Colin McRae. And now, they could be yours. The family has decided to sell the Chrysler Sunbeam Ti, the first rally car the 1995 world champion owned; the Subaru Legacy RS he used to clinch a second British title and finally the ‘dream’ Ford Escort Mk2 he created in 2005. The three cars will be auctioned at the Silverstone Festival in… Read More →

Not only is the Impreza the entry point to the Subaru lineup, it has also a gateway to all-wheel drive in the automotive industry. Indeed, offering all-wheel drive (AWD) as standard in a vehicle priced at around $25,000 is something not every manufacturer can do. And we’re not talking about just any AWD system here, as Subaru’s is rated as one of the best in the industry. Compact car sales continue to plummet. And the… Read More →
