A used Subaru Impreza WRX wagon from the 2003 model year is a pretty unique find these days. These older rally-inspired Subarus are becoming modern classics. It’s safe to say they are popular for a reason. Whether you get your hands on a sedan or a wagon, you’ll end up with a raw little racer …
The Subaru Outback is one of the brand’s most popular vehicles, and unlike other wagons, it has stood the test of time as a segment favorite. But the expensive wagon may not be the ideal choice for every buyer. Luckily for buyers, however, the Outback’s best features can be found in another Subaru vehicle. Here’s why …
With the steep depreciation that hits luxury cars and the lack of practicality of sports cars, sometimes keeping things simple is best. For commuter cars, having something standard can be beneficial in many ways. Standard sedans might not have luxurious Alcantara seats or high-tech features, but they do have a lot to offer wrapped in …
We keep hearing rumors that a new Subaru BRZ/Toyota 86 is in the works but the manufacturers are keeping a tight lid on details. So we were surprised to hear that Subaru has announced it has stopped accepting orders for the 2020 BRZ. So did Subaru just stop making the BRZ? And if so why …
End-of-the-model-year vehicles are popular choices for car shoppers looking to buy a new car for less. Even if some new-model-year vehicles offer a little more, bargain shoppers can’t pass up a discount. But what if you found a new-year-model car for nearly the same price as its end-of-the-year counterpart? Well, the 2021 Subaru Ascent not only …
Since the SUV market is so competitive, it’s hard for unpopular models to stand out. Oftentimes, completely capable vehicles are overlooked because of popular alternatives, like the Kia Telluride. The 2020 Subaru Ascent seems to be a perfectly fine vehicle in its own right, but it barely gets any attention. It’s a fairly new addition …
On the Consumer Reports website, there is a list of the “10 Best SUVs You Can Buy Right Now.” We’ve compiled the top five from that list to show the best SUVs to buy in 2020. These top five represent the leaders in their class in terms of performance, reliability, safety, and owner satisfaction. The …
The 2020 Subaru Forester and Crosstrek are both great vehicles. But in the end is the extra cost of the Forester worth it?
The 2021 Honda HR-V is getting a total redesign. Currently, it has a compact wagon shape that is similar to the way that the Subaru Crosstrek looks. The Honda HR-V shed its hatchback design for a more modern look, and we can’t help but wonder if it’s based on the Subaru Crosstrek that has been …
Most of us have heard that the moment you drive that new vehicle off the dealer lot, it depreciates or drops in value. We rarely think of that in such a moment but it’s true. All cars depreciate. In fact, some vehicles depreciate far more than others. How does car depreciation work? Which cars hold …
Yes, $30,000 is a lot of money, but if you’ve got it or can afford the payments there are a ton of ways you can go. Used cars will get you more-or will they? You get a lot more these days in a lower-priced car than in years past. So Consumer Reports looked at a …
Flawed dream car though it is, the Impreza-based Subaru WRX has an extensive rallying history and dedicated enthusiast following. However, the Impreza isn’t the only sedan that the automaker modified for some extra performance. But unlike the WRX, the Subaru Legacy GT Spec B was less about standing out than blending in. Subaru Legacy GT …
Since its debut in the mid-’90s, the Subaru Outback has seen its fair share of criticism. Some model years are adored by drivers and some (like 2013) are significantly less popular. But as long as you avoid the years with major problems, things seemed to go well for Subaru Outback owners. There’s certainly a cost …
There seems to be a common understanding that sports cars are fast, but in a day and age where even luxury sedans are picking up speed, it’s hard to determine what fast is among lower-priced vehicles. Some cars are surprisingly fast, and then some cars look fast and are remarkably slow. Cars like the Hyundai …
Like most Japanese vehicle manufacturers, Subaru has earned itself a quite good reputation as a solid brand. Maybe this is due to the fact that Subaru’s origins can be traced back to 1915 and aircraft production. Vehicle manufacturers with origins in aviation tend to produce the best quality vehicles—just look at BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Volvo. …
As someone who was born and raised in Florida — you know, where it never snows or gets cold in general — I never realized that all-wheel-drive cars and vehicles were for anything other than off-roading. My first all-wheel-drive vehicle was an Audi A7, and it was one of my favorite daily drivers of all …
Subaru is well-known for the consistent quality of its vehicles. Four of its SUVs ranked on the 10 Best SUVs list by Consumer Reports, including the Subaru Outback and Forester. This automaker also offers a small selection of sedans, including the comfy and reliable Subaru Legacy. No matter which new Subaru you buy, it will …
The three-row crossover Subaru Ascent is perfect for Subaru fans who need something bigger than the Forester or Outback. The upcoming 2021 Subaru Ascent will provide even more safety for families. It will offer buyers additional standard features but increase the price for each of the four trim levels too. The 2021 Subaru Ascent The …
Subaru is consistently ranked as one of the most-loved car brands because of its versatile vehicle options and because it gives owners a unique sense of community. One of the most popular vehicles in the Subaru lineup is the Forester, one of the best SUVs you can buy in 2020 according to respected critics like Consumer Reports and …
There’s a quiet revolution going on in the automotive world. While it’s been clear for a few years now that car buyers have embraced SUVs and pickup trucks instead of sedans, some buyers are opting for station wagons. These vehicles are an excellent compromise for those buyers who just can’t decide between a hatchback and an …
Carmakers have two primary goals: to attract new buyers and keep them. Some, of course, are better at achieving these goals and others, just ask Subaru and Toyota. According to J.D. Power’s most recent study, both of these carmakers have some of the most loyal fans. But what makes these carmakers so appealing? Subaru beat …
As a dream car, it has its flaws. But the Subaru WRX is nevertheless an impressive performance car, both on pavement and on a rally stage. It’s thanks to rallying that the first Subaru Impreza WRX was even built. Though, as is typical with many JDM cars, the US didn’t get the earliest models. Plus, …
Subaru has an extremely loyal fan base and it’s easy to see why. Generally speaking, Subaru vehicles are synonymous with adventure, safety, and versatility. Even the carmaker’s sedans are pretty cool. The two Subaru sedans we can’t stop talking about this year happen to be the 2020 Impreza and the 2020 Legacy. Here is what …
Like many other forms of new technology, when hybrid SUVs were released it seemed like they were financially unaffordable for most consumers. We saw it for 3D printers, CNC machines, and even a lot of the safety technology that has become so common in cars today, but hybrid cars have become reasonable for the average …
Everyone just loves their Subaru Forester, right? You never hear anyone complaining about them. They are the family SUVs that last forever. Or so we thought. We actually found quite a few Subaru Forester complaints that sound pretty frustrating. The most frustrating Subaru Forester Complaints To gather up a list of the most common Subaru …

While the 2020 Crosstrek is a great compact SUV to have on your shopping list, the 2021 Crosstrek will be even better. Subaru claims the 2021 Crosstrek is the safest …
The demand for sedans and sports cars might not be as great as what it used to be, but that has just made car manufacturers work even harder to make their cars appealing. There are a lot of new cars to pick from, and whether you are looking for a practical daily sedan or a …
The new Subaru Legacy seems to be one of the least talked about sedans of the year. Could it be its lackluster design that holds it back? Or maybe it’s just that Subaru isn’t as popular of a brand when it comes to daily drivers like sedans. Love the look or hate it, the Subaru …
Whether you dream of a Lamborghini Gallardo or a Subaru WRX, almost every enthusiast has their fantasy set of wheels. For some, they’re classic used cars; for others, they’re brand-new. That’s why people pay what seems like exorbitant sums for a machine that, logically, doesn’t seem worth it. But, as some Reddit users discovered, not …
There is an endless number of used cars on the market and it almost seems impossible to narrow down what the best options are. For some of us, we focus on what we need a car to have, narrow down what we want and what we can do without, and then decide on what fits …
Subaru is the king of making ads with that warm and fuzzy family feeling. However, the Subaru Ascent, the best model for families, isn’t getting stellar sales. However, it is gaining traction as a great option to consider against the Toyota Highlander or Kia Telluride. So, let’s see what the 2020 Subaru Ascent provides as …

In fact, Consumer Reports recently compiled a list of the “10 Best SUVs You Can Buy Right Now,” and the 2020 …
Many people loved––or hated––the the quirky yet capable Subaru Baja. Compact pickup trucks are a booming segment these days. Subaru would be crazy not to want a piece of the pickup truck pie. Surely they’ve brainstormed a concept or two to squeeze into the segment. Is there a new Subaru pickup truck on the horizon? …
The Subaru Baja pickup truck. A historic desert running, mountain climbing flash of genius brought to us by Subaru. Fans weren’t abundant, though, and it didn’t last long. In fact, there were many who thought it was downright ugly. Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough interest in this embodiment of automotive adventure. The Subaru produced the Baja …
The U.S. News expert review team had a lot of good things to say about the 2020 Subaru Crosstrek when they tested the sporty off-road capable subcompact SUV in late 2019. They remarked on the Crosstrek’s comfortable ride, user-friendly infotainment system, well-built cabin, automatic climate control, and exceptional cargo space. They did have some concerns, …
Subaru’s Impreza is a standout in the crowded sedan class thanks to its excellent handling, comfort, and simplicity. If you are particularly interested in buying a used car as your new city driver, you should seriously consider the 2015 Impreza model. The 2015 model is a good choice because of its versatility and because it’s …
The Subaru Baja was a unique little ute that only saw three years of production. From 2003-2006 Subaru offered this small pickup truck. Now, there isn’t really a comparable vehicle on the US market. Unless….Can the Honda Ridgeline scratch the Subaru Baja itch? Though the Honda Ridgeline is a vastly different vehicle that the Subaru …
Subaru has a great lineup of SUVs. The Outback and the Ascent are two of the most popular picks, but how do you choose between the two?

A car that’s been deemed as a luxury model doesn’t mean that it’s an impressive one. Take the 2020 Infiniti Q50 for example. It’s a nice enough car but it lacks the “wow” factor needed to stand out in today’s market. If you have the Q50 as a top contender on your luxury car shopping …
Subie, Scooby, or just plain Subaru — whatever you call it, the brand is one of the most iconic in the automobile industry (and, arguably, even outside the auto industry). Subaru has a cult-like following of loyal consumers, and Subaru has been awarded the Brand Image Award an impressive six times by Kelley Blue Book, …
Back in January, when you could do these types of things, Subaru held a technical meeting in Japan. There, it announced details of a joint venture with Toyota for a shared all-electric platform. It also showed off an EV crossover concept more than hinting at what the platform might wreak. Few details were given for …
It really seems like today’s crossover SUVs are either a total hit, or a complete miss. One lackluster example in today’s market is the 2020 Honda HR-V. The second-generation HR-V was introduced back in 2015 with lots of fan-fare. Now in 2020, the HR-V is practically a complete snore. What’s up with the 2020 HR-V? …
The Subaru Outback is one of the most popular AWD crossover SUVs in America. The Toyota RAV4 is also a popular choice. But does the price to buy the Subaru wagon come with expensive maintenance costs that the dealer didn’t tell you about? How expensive is Outback maintenance? The investment in buying a car is …

As you shop for your ideal car, it’s always worth looking into similar models that might serve as a better alternative.

It’s a somewhat odd suggestion, but it got …
Just like it’s corporate sibling, there’s something about the Subaru Outback that just makes you want to get up and go. The Outback is expressive, fun, and dynamic too.

Subaru is well known for its high-quality vehicles and is often the SUV of choice for people living in snowy conditions. Subaru has also shown itself to be customer-oriented.

If you want a dependable car with a comfortable ride, any kind of Subaru is usually a safe bet.
