(April 16, 2023) When Subaru introduced the compact Crosstrek SUV in 2013 we wondered about the wisdom of the Japanese brand selling two vehicles of almost identical size. Subaru's Forester had — up to that point — been handling the company's compact SUV chores quite well. It seemed to us the Crosstrek would cannibalize those sales.

(August 14, 2022) Driving the 2022 Subaru BRZ took me back to a time long, long ago when I coveted an affordable new sports car, and the 1975 Datsun 280Z fit my budget and my need for a moderately priced cutting-edge machine. The 2022 Subaru BRZ is much like the '75 280Z in as much as both are — and were — desirable and affordable for those of us with a limited amount of money to realize our motoring dreams.

(February 13, 2022) The fifth-generation 2022 Subaru WRX is a feisty little sedan that puts immense fun into the daily driving experience. The 2022 WRX is all an all-new model retaining Subaru's successful formula of a potent turbocharged flat four engine powering all four wheels in a compact four-door configuration. It comes with a new eye-catching exterior design and a modern interior with updated technology and a large tablet-style infotainment screen.

(December 19, 2021) It seems every manufacturer has created a special trim level with a robust off-road look for their SUV lineup. Some of the special editions are for show only with exterior bits and pieces such as larger tires and body side moldings giving the vehicle additional driveway panache. There's nothing underneath the skin to back up the trail-rated looks. But other manufacturers are giving their vehicles not only a hardcore persona, but are backing it up with off-road equipment for "overlanding" duties that can take the occupants beyond the rutted fishing-hole road.

The compact Subaru Crosstrek CUV has been popular with shoppers since its inception in 2012. We've like it too, during test drives in 2013 and 2018. Very few complaints other than its performance — it didn't have quite enough urgency to suit our tastes. The big news for 2021 is that Subaru has alleviated that concern with a new 2.5-liter flat 4-cylinder engine making 182 horsepower. It's the same engine used in he mid-sized Legacy sedan and the Outback crossover.
