One of the biggest complaints about the Subaru Crosstrek and most of Subaru’s cars is how lacking in power they are when driving. You would think the 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Plug-In Hybrid would remedy this by combining gas and electric power, but no—somehow it has even less power than the standard Crosstrek.
The Subaru WRX STI is already fast, but the new limited Subaru WRX STI Diamond Edition is even faster, developed by the automaker’s South Africa team to boast almost 50 more horsepower than the car we get in America.
What’s better than the Subaru WRX? If you ask me, it’s putting the WRX’s wonderful turbo boxer engine into something that’s small and light and cool and isn’t a four-door sedan with a giant wing. I have long dreamed of swapping a WRX motor into a VW Karmann-Ghia, but this ‘Rex-swapped 1975 Dino 308GT4 for sale on…
Last week, I tracked down an explanation for why the glass roof on the Tesla Model 3 looks vibrantly orange under certain conditions, and one of our readers brought up something else that was interesting. Evidently the Subaru SVX had different colored window tint depending on the car’s interior, so I decided to track…
The one carmaker that could do no wrong falters, BMW and Lexus just went nuts, and one country figured out a genius new way to up electric car sales. All that and more in The Morning Shift for Monday, Nov. 5, 2018.
If you like somewhat cartoonish, retro-inspired designs for your cars, then the late 1990s was a wonderful time to be alive. While hindsight hasn’t always been kind to this design trend, I’ll admit that I’m oddly fond of the cars that came from this school, especially the vintage cars re-born into modernity, like the…
If you ask me, dashboard technology peaked in the late 1980s with the Subaru XT, and we’ve never really surpassed that.
Imagine. You’re enjoying your day, minding your own business, and then someone from the bank pops over and tells you that they’re seizing your car because you defaulted on a loan that you never actually took out. Welcome to Tage Kendall’s life.
Hi there. I hope this blog post finds you well. Did you have a restful weekend? I hope so. Anyway, let’s get down to brass tacks: you may be hearing some business about a possible mid-engine hybrid Subaru sports car in development. I’m going to go ahead and save everyone some time by just calling bullshit on this…
It may not look too different, but the 2019 Subaru Forester is all-new, with better handling, reduced road noise, an impressive amount of standard features and an almost ironically-named new Sport trim that altogether almost make up for its desperately slow acceleration. But there’s still plenty on offer if you’re…
The 2019 Subaru Ascent is the biggest model that Subaru currently offers. It has 19 cupholders for maximum occupant hydration. And it will apparently do a good job of keeping you and all your beverages safe because it’s scored very well with the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
Hold on to your snapbacks Subaroos, because there’s big changes coming. After years and years of holding out for a more powerful model, the 2019 Subaru BRZ is finally getting a new special edition that puts the power down! Oh wait, no, I’m reading, no, actually it’s just another paint color.
If you’ve spent time around stage rally in the last two decades, you’ve likely heard a lot of that signature Subaru flat-four rumble-and-turbo ripping through the forests. It’s a sound that is impossible to mistake for any other kind of car, and has left an indelible mark on my automotive sense memory. This Legacy…
Ford’s credit rating tumbles, Hyundai’s not selling enough cars in China, and Elon Musk may be facing a lawsuit soon—this and more on The Morning Shift for Thursday, Aug. 30, 2018.
I have a news flash for some of you: Dealers love the people that insist that used cars are always a better buy than new. That might be the case most of the time, but not always, and, in fact, some buyers looking for something that’s only a few years old with low miles are paying too much.
Until now, the phenomenon of bears getting stuck in Subarus seemed like some kind of ages-old master plan being fulfilled. Why is the wild animal stuck in the car always a bear? Why is the car always a Subaru? What are the bears planning? But now, a shocking change in the prophecy: A bear got stuck in a Honda Civic.
Subaru has issued a recall for the 2019 Subaru Ascent because some of the vehicles may be missing crucial spot welds on the B-pillar, per Consumer Reports. This isn’t exactly the kind of thing you can correct with a quick pop over to the dealer, so to fix the issue, the automaker is just giving every affected owner a…
Subaru’s problem with Trump’s proposed tariff, the quagmire presented by the government’s new emissions plan, NAFTA, and more in The Morning Shift for Monday, Aug. 6, 2018.
If there’s one thing I want people to take away from reading Jalopnik—besides obviously that Florida is terrifying—it’s that you have to be smart when you’re buying a used performance car. Has it been crashed? Has it been subjected to shady mods? Does it have secret problems lurking within? And in the case of the …
