When the weather starts to heat up, do you blast the A/C or do you roll the windows down? Maybe you just sweat it out because you are worried about the effect that either option will have on your gas mileage. You might be able to hold out during the spring, while the temperatures are still manageable, but when summer rolls around you're going to have to deal with the heat one way or another. But which is the better option? 

The argument for using air conditioning or dropping your windows usually boils down to fuel economy. People…

Cell phones are pretty amazing. You can contact anyone from anywhere. If you want to listen to a song that's been stuck in your head, all you have to do is search for it. You can even hop into your car and drive to a completely new town that you've never been to without doing any planning whatsoever. There's no need to do research or have any connections; you can just go. There’s boundless information online, and you can access all of that information from your phone.

Unfortunately, humans only have two eyes and a single…

Spring is a great time to go camping. It’s warmer than winter, yet cooler than summer. You get to enjoy spring blooms without the thickets of poison ivy that come later in the year, and you don’t yet have to worry about mosquitoes and other obnoxious insects. So make a point to get out this spring and do some camping!

While testing your mettle on an extended backpacking trip can be a lot of fun, car camping is sometimes a better option if you're short on time or bringing small children. You can't beat a Subaru…

Some people love driving, and when they take a road trip, they relish every second behind the wheel. Others find driving to be a burdensome necessity that occurs between the places where you would actually like to spend your time. If you belong to the latter group, you can probably think back to a time when you were just over a drive. You had been behind the wheel for ten hours, still had another eight to go, and wished for a button you could push that would get you to your destination. Or maybe you wished that the car would…

When people think about Subaru and racing, they usually think of a tricked out WRX or STI spraying mud and setting records on a rally track. While it's true that Subaru makes a mean rally car, that’s not the type of racing that has most folks excited this month. This month marks the 25^th anniversary of the Subaru Sea Otter Classic! 

Calling the Sea Otter Classic just a race isn't really fair. It's regarded by many as “the world’s premier cycling festival”. Over 75,000 people attend the Sea Otter Classic as competitors or…

Spring is here, so it's time to make sure that your Subaru is spring ready!

• Unless you make a point to regularly clean out your vehicle, clutter and filth can start to build up. Go ahead and take the time to do a little spring-cleaning! Vacuum out your car, clean under your seats, wipe down the inside of your windshield and dry it with a micro fiber towel or newspaper to remove film prevent streaks. Do whatever it takes to get your car clean for the spring season!
•  Spring rains mean…

Spring is the season for new beginnings and fresh starts. That’s why so many people do spring-cleaning. They take the time to get everything nice, neat, and tidy in preparation for the months ahead. But sometimes just cleaning isn't enough. Sure, it's probably a good idea to clean out your car, but that doesn’t ensure that everything is running the way it's supposed to run.

We've decided to help you get off to a good start this spring with the Subaru Spring Service event! Now through April 30^th, come in for a complimentary…

Everyone loves a good road trip. Seeing new places, making memories, and spending time with good friends, road trips have it all. But racking up all those miles isn’t cheap. Even if you’re in a fuel-efficient Subaru, buying tank after tank of gas will start to add up during the course of your trip.

If you're taking a trip with group of friends, you can share the cost of gas, but what is the best way to split gas on a road trip? 

What's money between friends right? A few dollars here or there shouldn't…

There are a lot of bad drivers out there. Whether it was a wobbly semi-truck that kicked up a cloud of dust, or reckless driver who appeared to be auditioning for a role in one of the many Fast and Furious movies, you've probably experienced a time where you felt unsafe because of another driver. Maybe you looked around, hoping to see a traffic officer that could get them off the road, only to find that there were none to be found. So you slow down, give them space, and hope for the best. However, many drivers have recently…

This year, Subaru will be introducing Active Torque Vectoring (ATV) to select models.  If you don’t know what Active Torque Vectoring is, it might sound like something straight out of a science fiction movie. You can probably imagine a starship captain telling his crew to engage thrusters and enable Active Torque Vectoring. ATV isn’t out of science fiction, but it’s not far from it. 

ATV is a new yaw-control system technology that will increase handling and precision by incorporating the braking system on turns. The way ATV works is pretty cool. When you turn into a corner…
