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 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…

The Subaru plant in Indiana was the first automobile plant to achieve zero landfill status. That means that nothing from the plant enters a landfill, which is a truly remarkable accomplishment.

The Subaru of Indiana Automotive plant (SIA) was challenged by Subaru's parent company, Fuji Heavy Industries, in 2002 to reach zero landfill status by 2006. At the time, the plant considered this an unrealistic goal. No other plant had achieved zero landfill status, and four years seemed like too little time to do what had never been done before.

The plant started by looking at just how much…

Spring is one of the best seasons to take a trip. The weather is lovely, and everything is in bloom. It’s a nice intermission from the winter cold that kept you indoors and the summer heat that will try to do the same. Whether you get a scheduled spring break, or you’re ready to cash in your vacation days, here's why you should take a trip in your Subaru.

They have tons of cargo room. Of course, the Outback, Forester, and XV Crosstrek, all have room for days, but even the smaller Legacy and Impreza have ample…

Now that spring is officially here, you might find yourself spending more time in the sun. The days are longer, and after being cooped up all winter, many of us are eager to get outdoors. Driving in the sunshine with the windows rolled down is a great feeling, but make sure you grab your shades. Sunglasses are more than just a fashion statement; they can actually help improve your driving.

Sunglasses can help you see better when the sun is shining. This is especially true of a good pair of polarized sunglasses. Polarized lenses block reflected light, reducing glare and…

There's no question that Subaru owners love to be outdoors. Whether it's scrambling up a multipitch route, rafting through class five rapids, or burning through miles of trail on a mountain bike, Subaru is strongly associated with people who lead active lifestyles. But that's just because active people want to buy Subaru vehicles, right? It's not because owning a Subaru can actually make you more active.
