Over the years, Subaru has been known for a lot of different things. The first Subaru brought over to the US in the 1960s was marketed as "cheap and ugly." This earned Subaru a reputation as being a little peculiar to say the least. The next thing Subaru became known for was All-Wheel Drive and Safety. Subaru vehicles were, and still are expected, to handle any type of terrain and weather condition, and provide unrivaled safety. Now, the manufacturer is earning a solid reputation for environmental stewardship. 

Back in 2004, Subaru decided that they were producing too much waste at…

Chances are you haven't given much thought to your timing belt. You might not even know what a timing belt is, for that matter. And why should you? Unless you work on vehicles, or you’ve had to replace a timing belt in the past, it’s not something that comes up very often. Unlike the tires on your Subaru that should be rotated every 7,500 miles, or your oil that should be changed at that same mileage (if you’re using synthetic oil), timing belts don't require such frequent service.

Less frequent maintenance doesn't mean…

Keeping your family safe is important to you. That’s one of the reasons you bought a Subaru. Every vehicle in the Subaru lineup has earned a Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety for six years straight. Subaru is the only auto manufacturer that can make that claim. But sometimes it takes more than just owning a safe vehicle to ensure that your kids stay safe. Here are some tips for keeping your child safe in the car.

•  Seatbelts are a must. You should never start driving…

You've probably heard of the dog days of summer. The phrase refers to the hottest time of the summer season, and while it conjures images of panting dogs and heat haze, the term isn’t really related to dogs in the way that you might think. In ancient Greece, "dog days" indicated the period surrounding the time in which Sirius, or the Dog Star, would align with the sun. This is typically between early July and mid-August. 

That being said, the dog days of summer are extremely hot, and you should take extra care to keep your dogs safe…

When you love your vehicle, you don't have to look for an excuse to plop down in the driver's seat (Subarus are great, we know how you feel). But even the most fuel-efficient vehicles have a negative impact on the environment. Sometimes you can’t avoid driving, but a lot of the miles you’re putting on your vehicle might not be necessary. Driving less can be good for you, the environment, and for your vehicle.

If you work 30 miles away from home, or you want to visit your family in the next state over, or you…

If someone asked you, "What U.S. town has the highest percentage of Subaru vehicles?" what would your guess be? Maybe Denver? Possibly Portland? Could it be Seattle? Those are all good guesses (though none of them are No. 1), but no matter what your answer is, you’re probably making that guess based on the city's close proximity to outdoor recreation, and reputation for environmentalism. Those are, after all, two of the big values Subaru owners hold dear. 

So which towns have the highest percentage of Subaru owners? 

According to the Nielson Scarborough market-research firm, these are the…

We know how important the environment is to Subaru owners, and it's important to us as well. We've only got one Earth, so we have to take care of it. We must do everything we can to limit the impact that we make on the environment, and we must do our best to preserve the beauty that nature has to offer.

Businesses, especially manufacturers, have a greater impact on the environment than most individuals do. That's why Subaru started the Subaru Eco-Friendly Retailer Program. 

The Subaru Eco-Friendly Retailer Program is designed to help Subaru dealers reduce carbon…

Many Subaru fans look forward to two events during the course of the year. Those events are Christmas and the announcement of the new Subaru Forester. The Forester is the most popular vehicle in the Subaru lineup, and the 2016 Subaru Forester looks to be just as good as it’s ever been.

Pricing and specs were released for the new Forester last month. The 2016 Forester will continue with the fourth-generation design that was introduced with the 2014 model. The 2016 Forester 2.5i base model will start with an MSRP of $22,395, a slight increase over last…

We all know what a speed limit sign is. It’s the maximum speed at which you're allowed to go on a particular road. If you drive faster than the speed limit, you might get pulled over and handed a ticket. But a speed limit is just that, right? It’s a limit, a speed that you cannot go over. You can drive as slow as you want to drive as long as you're under the speed limit, right?

Well, that's not the case in more than half of the United States. 38 states, including the state…

You’ve probably been noticing more and more Subaru vehicles on the roads lately, and that's because Subaru is selling more vehicles now than ever before. Subaru sales have been increasing for three and a half years straight. 

There's no doubting that Subaru is gaining popularity, but why is Subaru becoming so popular? Why does everyone want to drive a Subaru all of a sudden? The answer is simple, really. Here are 5 reasons you should drive a Subaru. 

Subaru is environmentally friendly. The environment is as important to Subaru as it is to Subaru customers. Whether it…
