Subaru Badges of Ownership


 
Maybe you don't need badges... but we think you might like the ones from Subaru. We saw a Marine Blue Forester at Barnes & Noble today that told us right away that it was the driver's third Subaru. We felt a sort of kinship, as though -- if the driver had actually been there -- we'd have become friends. 

Subaru badges tell if this particular vehicle is your first Subaru or your eighth, but you…

  • The Car Connection  wasn't impressed with the radio controls, but they loved the agility…

Love a Pet

 
Subaru has always been great with pets, and this past Saturday we took part in the national pet adoption drive. We  teamed up with the ASPCA, the Animal League of Washington County, and the City of Springdale Animal Services to find homes for pets from the shelter. We waived the usual $40.00 adoption fee and also welcomed pet owners with free portraits of their dogs in festive holiday attire, plus free microchipping for the…

Rules of the Car

  
Richard & Theresa Harris of Bella Vista just bought a brand new 2013 Subaru Outback.  One of the things they shared with us is that they're going to make a rule for the grandchildren: no eating in the car. 

Subarus don't come with rules, of course -- we're ready for any kind of adventure, including eating fast food between school and soccer practice or having a picnic on the way to the top of…

Swimming with the SHARC

 

More than 300,000 happy people have gone home with a new Subaru so far this year. The big news right now, though, is the concept vehicle that walked off (or maybe swam off) with the top prize at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show Design Challenge competition: the SHARC (Subaru Highway Automated Response Concept) vehicle.

This year's theme was "Highway Patrol Vehicle 2025...the ultimate 2025 law enforcement patrol vehicle that supports the…

Self-inflating Tires in Our Future


Are you the kind who carries a tire pressure gauge in his pocket and checks tire inflation each time you fill your gas tank? Or are you more like the other 90% of drivers, who check tire pressure about once a year?

The Department of Transportation figures that something like 2 billion gallons of gas are wasted each year by people driving around with underinflated tires. Low tires are also more likely to heat up…

Subaru and Your Bike

Subaru drivers tend to be active people. That "My other car is a bike" bumper sticker is probably telling it like it is. 

So what's the best way to transport your bike when you're heading out in your Subaru?

Your best choice, naturally, is a genuine Subaru bike rack. There's a bed-mounted rack for the Baja, and roof-mounted options for most of the newer models, including the Crosstrek. 

Some cyclists don't…

One More Thing...


...before you head over the river and through the woods: inflate your tires. 

If you're traveling for the long holiday weekend, you have a million things to think about already, from getting that pumpkin pie baked and packed up to making sure you've got the baby's favorite stuffed toy packed (cause no one's getting any sleep if it's not). You might have to groom the dogs, stop the paper delivery…

Subaru Multimedia


Subaru knows that we don't want to be separated from our multimedia -- ever. 

That's why Subarus have all the great gear you'll ever need;

  • Bluetooth means safe, hands-free calls through your vehicle's audio system. There are several different options for Bluetooth, including BlueConnect for models that don't have Bluetooth.
