Subaru had another record year in 2014. That pushes the streak to six straight years of record sales in the U.S. market. That’s great, but after six years of increasing sales, the company is probably content, and ready to rest on laurels, right? Well, not quite. In true Subaru fashion, the company is looking to push standards and outdo what's already been done. Subaru plans on increasing sales by another 5% this year. If this goal is met, that will make seven consecutive years of sales growth!

Driving is kind of what Americans do. In a lot of cases, it's out of necessity. The United States is the third largest country after Russia and Canada, but we rank 180^th in population density, having 84.4 people per square mile. There's a lot of open space between cities and even within towns.

People who live in the U.S. don’t bat an eye at having to drive 30 minutes to grab a gallon of milk, and road trips that extend for hundreds of miles are a big part of American culture. However, recent data…

The XV Crosstrek has been a big hit here in the U.S. It’s got just the right amount of horsepower and Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive to tackle steep climbs, enough cargo space to carry all of your gear, and good gas mileage to keep you from spending half of your trip filling up at gas stations. What more could you possibly want in an adventure rig? Well, maybe a slick coat of paint and a few more whistles.

The new XV Crosstrek Special Edition builds upon the already wonderful Crosstrek 2.0i Premium trim by boasting a…

Last year, Subaru issued a brake line recall on Foresters from 2009 to 2013, and on WRX and STI models from 2008 to 20014. If you own one of these vehicles, you probably got a recall notice and took it into the dealership right away. Keep up the good work, because you're going to have to do it again.

Subaru has issued a second recall on brake lines for the same vehicles that were recalled last year. Almost 199,000 vehicles are affected by this recall.

The reason for the recall is pretty simple. When it snows, cities and…

Maybe you've seen it in a movie, or you've witnessed some old-timer kick a tire with a furrowed brow. Then, when you’re trying to appear as though you know a lot about cars, you will squint intently at the tread, kick the tire, and move on, not really sure as to why you just did that. Yep, it's a tire.

There was a time when kicking a tire actually served a purpose. Cars weren’t always made with quality in mind. Clunkers, junkers, jalopies, whatever you want to call them, cars were often made to make…

Distracted driving is incredibly risky. Here are 10 of the biggest distractions to avoid while driving.

1. Music – Listening to music in the car isn’t necessarily dangerous, but blasting tunes so loud that you can’t hear sirens or focus on the road is. Keep car dancing to a minimum. It might be your Jam, but jam on the inside not on the outside.
2. Food – Eating while driving is a huge distraction. If you were born with three arms, you might be okay, but those of us with two shouldn't try drive with our knees while scarfing down a…

Subaru of America sold over 500,000 vehicles in 2014. While this number is nowhere near Honda's nearly 1.4 million vehicle sales, it’s still a record year and the best to date for Subaru in the United States. This is the first time that Subaru has hit the 500,000 mark, a truly incredible accomplishment.

Big sales by other car manufacturers might seem to dwarf Subaru’s accomplishment, but when you put the numbers into perspective, it actually does the opposite. While Subaru made little more than a third as many sales as companies like Honda and…

The only thing safer than driving in a Subaru is not driving at all. Subaru is known for making the safest cars on the market. The designers and engineers are constantly trying to build upon and improve the safety of already incredibly safe vehicles. The recent addition of EyeSight has not only upped the safety of Subaru vehicles, but the level of technology used to achieve that safety. But Subaru won't stop there when it comes to hi-tech safety.

While EyeSight has got you covered from the front, it doesn't really do much to keep you safe from…
