Folks have been calling Subaru “odd” and “quirky” ever since they were first brought to the United States back in 1968. It’s not until recently that the general public have been won over by the amazing safety, performance, and overall design of Subaru vehicles, quieting those murmurs of “quirky”. However, because Subaru likes to do things a little differently, you still hear words like “unorthodox” and “unusual”.

 

People often think of the word different as being a bad thing. If something is different, it doesn't fit with what's normal, or it goes against the standard. But what…

Driving can be dangerous, even in an incredibly safe vehicle like a Subaru. After all, you’re barreling down the road at high speeds in over a ton of metal, flying past other people doing the same thing. While owning a safe vehicle is a great way to make driving safer, safety is largely up to the driver.

 

Many of the dangers your encounter on the road are apparent and fairly easy to avoid. If the roads are icy, you decrease our speed. If you’re sharing the road with a reckless driver, you give them space and keep your…

Kelley Blue Book recently placed the 2015 Subaru Outback on the list of 15 Best Family Cars. While the new Outback definitely has features that families will love, the Subaru Outback has been a big hit with families for years now. So what makes the Outback such a great family vehicle?

Probably the most important thing to look for in a family vehicle is safety. You don't want to cart your family around in a vehicle that isn't safe. The Subaru Outback consistently (along with all other models in the Subaru line up) receives Top Safety Pick ratings…

Most people don't really think about the shape of the states. You could probably sketch out your home state and then some of the truly recognizable ones like California, Oklahoma, or Texas, but if someone told you to draw West Virginia or New Hampshire, you might be in trouble. However, the History Channel has a show that is all about the way that states are shaped. And it relies on a Subaru.

There have been some truly strange endurance contests over the years. Sometimes, as is the case with the World Sauna Championship, the contestants are in it for the fame, pride, or glory. Other times, people compete in these strange events to win a new car. A man in China stood on one leg for nearly 7 ½ hours to win a BMW.

A Subaru dealership in Montana held one of these endurance competitions, although it was nowhere near as outlandish as cooking in a sauna or doing a Karate Kid impersonation. 

They called the contest "Live In It To Win It…

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recorded that the Subaru Legacy has a zero death rate. The study looked at the number of deaths per million registered vehicles. The Legacy is one of only 9 vehicles to have death rates of zero, and one of only two mid-size sedans to make it onto that list. The other vehicles on the list are SUVs or Minivans.  There's no doubt that the Legacy is a safe vehicle; however, this IIHS study isn’t the best way to show that. The IIHS looked at multi-vehicl

Drive Magazine is Subaru's award-winning national publication that focuses on stories, news, and articles that appeal to people who drive a Subaru. While Drive is primarily geared towards Subaru owners, the stories often have a broader appeal. The magazine often features articles on charitable giving, and ways that people can give back to their communities or make a difference in the world. The Adventure Subaru dealership recently received the honor of being featured in Drive! 

Every year, Subaru dealerships across the country join in the Share the Love Event. Whenever someone buys or leases a…

Subaru Canada reported some pretty staggering numbers to start off 2015. Canadian sales for the WRX and WRX STI were up by 91.9% during the month of January! It seems safe to say that Canada loves the 2015 Subaru WRX. But when you think about it, what's not to love? Both WRX and STI models have dominated the rally circuit in recent years, so there's no question about the power and handling of these vehicles. The STI boasts an impressive 305 horsepower boxer engine, but the WRX’s 268 horsepow

For some people, a vehicle is just that. It gets them where they need to go, but for others, a car is more than just something that gets you from your starting point to your destination. It creates and holds memories. It allows you to go on adventures and is there for your most cherished experiences. In fact, some people care about their vehicle so much that they decide to give it a name.

A name is important. It's more than just a word: it's an identity. For the most part, a person doesn’t get to pick…

The list of reasons to love Subaru just keeps growing. The company has been gaining loyal customers over the years by building a reputation for well-made, long-lasting, and incredibly safe vehicles that can tackle any type of terrain or condition. Subaru is also known for their part in protecting the environment with green initiatives and environmental stewardship. Those are all valuable qualities, but now there's a new reason to buy a Subaru. Kelley Blue Book just named Subaru as the best resale value brand for 2015! 

Now, Subaru wasn't just chosen as the best all-wheel drive brand, or…
