For the 2017 model year Subaru is updating its BRZ sporty coupe; the goals are better handling and increased performance, and the car has a more aggressive look and some new convenience features.

How Subaru Is Playing 'Nanny' By Flipping Satellite Radio Channels In Its Cars


Looks like Subaru is perhaps being a little over-protective of its owners with regard to certain SiriusXM satellite radio stations.

It’s far from being censorship, but it’s enough to get under the skin of at least one owner who wondered why his 2016 Subaru Outback balked at his choice of programming, particularly (of all things) comedy.

Subaru Crosstrek dares to be different



The Crosstrek represents all the unique and attractive attributes of Subaru in a single automobile. That’s a lot, because the Subaru brand embodies a lot of appealing traits. 

The Crosstrek is nicely sized. The all-wheel-drive sport-utility wagon is not brutishly large and unwieldy. It is compact enough to be adeptly maneuverable, yet large enough to comfortably carry passengers and enough of their gear to support far-ranging activities.

The Crosstrek provides the expert four-wheel traction…
