[gallery link="file" ids="1459,1460,1461"] Overview: This week we’re looking at the 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX with a moon roof. The moon roof isn’t important except it strikes me as a bit old fashioned – moon roofs were the in thing that everyone had to have and now seem to be passé - like...

[gallery link="file" ids="1464,1465,1466,1467,1468,1469"] Overview: This week we’re looking at the 2009 Subaru Forester - the little brother of the upscale Tribeca. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy luxury as much as the other guy but for a $10,000 price difference the Forester is pretty tempting. And fuel economy is 25% better. The Crest...

[gallery link="file" ids="1473,1474,1475,1476"] Overview: This week we’re looking at the 2009 Subaru Tribeca Limited Symmetrical All-wheel-drive SUV. AWD is the Subaru signature feature on all their products. This Tribeca is the largest size product yet for the brand, which was introduced into the US market in 2006 sporting an upside down Alpha...

[gallery link="file" ids="1482,1479,1480,1481"] Overview: This week we’re looking at the Pre-Production 2009 Subaru 2.5 GT 224 hp Turbocharged. What a sweetheart over the Crest with great acceleration and a road huggling low profile ride. And its looks are very today which is a reflection of many in and out of its class....

[gallery link="file" ids="1485,1486,1487,1488"] Overview: This week we’re looking at the 2009 Subaru Outback AWD 2.5i Limited (Wagon). It really is in between an SUV (as classed) and the traditional Station Wagon of years past. In today’s terminology it is a Crossover. Subaru doesn’t have as popular a badge but it is every bit...

[gallery link="file" ids="1525,1526,1527,1528,1529"] Overview: This week I tested the 2005 Subaru Forester 2.5 XT AWD SUV. And although I have always perceived this model as a low-end player in class, for them, this is a movement up to better competition. The major reason is that AWD is standard and Turbo propels this...

[gallery link="file" ids="1519,1520,1521"] Overview: This week I tested the 2005 Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Limited Sedan. The new year is in high gear and all cars will be jockeying for position in an incredibly competitive OEM marketplace. The horseless carriage has matured in the past 100 years and most men have this irrational...

[gallery link="file" ids="1513,1514,1515"] Overview: This week I tested the 2005 Subaru WRX Impreza Sport Wagon. Have you noticed new year models seem to emerge on the scene earlier all the time? Well, my first impression was that it was a “P-Popper” little car that really suits the very youthful driver. But after driving...

[gallery link="file" ids="1507,1508,1509,1510"] Overview: This week I tested the 2003 Subaru Baja AWD mini crew cab truck. What a cute little car and the looks you get from young people indicates what market Subaru is after. Overall I found the Baja a fun car to drive that will not appeal to people over,...

[gallery link="file" ids="1503,1504"] Overview: This week I tested the all wheel drive (AWD) Subaru WRX Impreza Wagon. I don't like to start off on a negative note but rattles bug me as they probably do you. Well there was an annoying rattle under the dash. Remember the good old days when rattles...
