Before the big wings, before the hawk eyes and the blob eyes and the bug eyes, there was the 1992 Subaru Legacy RS Type RA, STI’s first car. It’s still one of the coolest machines the in-house performance arm ever made.
This week’s Meh Car is a little more poignant than normal, perhaps even tragic, since the meh car involved wasn’t always meh. Not by a long shot. The current-gen Subaru Legacy, the sixth-generation of that car, is an example of a car that’s been forced, brutally and needlessly, into a cage made of tempered mehdonium,…
With winter comes cold weather and snow. In fact, this year it’s started snowing in areas that don’t even usually get snow. Luckily Subaru has you covered with all the four-wheel-drive, light piano accompaniment and vague weather related threats you could ever want with their 1990 lineup.
As snow falls outside my window, now is a good time to remind you all that there is a right way to drive a Subaru: on the limit at all times, sideways.
What have you done with your truck lately, bro? That “Trail Rated” badge doesn’t mean jack if the wildest place it goes is the Whole Foods parking lot. Here’s a dude tackling the Hell’s Revenge trail in Moab in a lightly modified Subaru Legacy. Weep in shame at his mad skills, mall crawlers.
Around 50,000 Subarus are under recall as of earlier this month due to problems with the steering column, and owners just got word that they shouldn’t drive the cars—even to the repair shop—until they’re fixed.
Disgruntled Subaru Forester, Outback, Legacy, Impreza and Crosstek owners whose cars burned more oil than usual can rest a little easier today. Top Class Actions reports that owners of the defective engines will be reimbursed by Subaru for expenses related to the defect and given a longer warranty.
Need a midsize sedan with all-wheel drive? Turned off by SUV-like Subarus that are selling like hot cakes across America? Don’t care if your car puts you to sleep? Have we got the ride for you! We’ll tell you everything you need to know about the Subaru Legacy here in our Ultimate Buyer’s Guide.
America loves it some mid-size sedans. Wagons might be more practical and crossovers are now outselling the humble four-door, but mid-sizers remain the chariot of choice for a massive swath of the population. Nearly every automaker offers one and each comes in dozens of flavors, so how do you pick the best? We’re…
How bad can gymkhana be, when even a three year old loves it?
You've seen people screwing around with four-wheel-drive sedans in snowy parking lots, but what happens when a built rally car hits St. Louis' Snowmageddon 2014?
Subaru made a lot of amazing performance cars in the 1990s, and basically none of them came to America. That means us here on this side of the pond had to improvise. Like this.P
Automakers test cars with a varying amount of camo these days. If it's early in the development cycle, it looks like the car is wearing a Halloween costume. If it's about to be released, it just has a lot of makeup on. This is an in-between, and we're not sure what it is.
Yesterday I tried to break down why Americans can't stop, won't stop buying Subarus. Sure, they're great cars, but few of them these days are also great-looking cars. You know what I miss? The last-generation Legacy, especially in Spec B trim.
Let me give a formal shout out to David and his Legacy Turbo. David, you remind us that there is more to Subaru than just the Impreza.
Subarus are pretty amazing cars. As the owner of a beater '86 GL wagon, I'm biased, but now I have solid proof that they kick ass.
Colin McRae will always be remembered as someone who could drive just about anything, faster than just about anyone. Here he properly stretches a Subaru Legacy RS around the bends.
Remember when you used to have to pull a lever to send power to all four wheels in your Subaru? The hardships our forefathers endured!
When Subaru says "tS" they mean "tuned by STI." And when they build a hot Legacy wagon with an STI-tuned suspension, aesthetic upgrades, and a sportier exhaust they mean "Not for you America!" (H/T to Motor_Yakuza!) [Carscoop]
There's nothing more embarrassing than having your big, macho American RWD truck towed out of the snow by a friend in a Legacy GT Spec.B. Quick, someone record this. [via Connerthecat]
