2019 Subaru WRX STI: It’s Got Character3.5/5

At the end of the game of your favourite hockey team, after trailing by a few goals and then come back to beat its opponent in the third period, the head coach will undoubtedly say this during the post-game press conference: “our team showed character.” If we regularly follow the …December 19, 2018

2019 Subaru Ascent IIHS Crash Test: No Compromise on Safety

RUCKERSVILLE, Virginia – As a kid, I loved playing with toy cars. Whether it was Hot Wheels, Tonka trucks, the Batmobile, or a G.I. Joe Jeep, two or more of them eventually met in a collision of sorts. That's probably why I enjoyed bumper cars so much. Smashing toys or …August 31, 2018

2018 Subaru Crosstrek: Trendy Contender4.0/5

Back in 1994, sensing that sport utility vehicles were going to be popular, Subaru wisely took a Legacy wagon, jacked up the suspension, added body cladding and with a few more changes, created the Outback. Over the years, it’s become an alternative to big, clumsy SUVs and helped put Subaru …August 8, 2018

2019 Subaru Ascent: the Subaru Soul is Alive and Well4.5/5

CAPE BRETON, Nova Scotia – Subaru is a carmaker that dares to do things differently with its idiosyncratic Boxer drivetrains, standard all-wheel drive, and utility vehicles that lean more towards large lifted wagons than actual trucks. As a matter of fact, Subaru was among the first to combine the benefits …June 25, 2018

2019 Subaru Ascent: We’re Heading to the Maritimes to Drive it

Subaru is a niche carmaker that has managed to remain relevant in a competitive segment by offering young and quirky products powered by unique drivetrains, as well as standard all-wheel drive across its lineup (except the BRZ). But while the Outback, the Crosstrek and the Forester are doing quite well …June 20, 2018

2018 Subaru Impreza: When Clark Kent Tries to Fit in4.0/5

I know a Subaru review that focuses on all-wheel-drive is cliché, but in my case, if I hadn’t been driving a car fitted with the system on my drive back from Ottawa to Montreal during one of the most intense winter blizzards the province of Quebec has witnessed this year, …February 26, 2018

2018 Subaru Crosstrek: For High-Protein Diets4.0/5

When I scheduled the 2018 Subaru Crosstrek for testing, Subaru Canada offered the choice between two vehicles, the one with the manual transmission, or the one with the continuously variable automatic transmission. Obviously, the market being what it is means nobody’s driving manuals these days. But the Crosstrek is aimed …January 23, 2018

2018 Subaru BRZ tS: Better, Faster and More Exclusive4.5/5

DUNCAN, British Columbia – Let’s settle this right off the bat. The Subaru BRZ tS’ engine isn’t more powerful than the one that has equipped the BRZ since it was first introduced in 2013. It’s the same 2.0-litre flat-four that has to reach 7000 rpm to deliver 205 horsepower and …December 21, 2017

2018 Subaru WRX: With a CVT, it's Weird3.5/5

The Subaru WRX is a car that needs little introduction. Ever since its debut in the early 2000s, the rally-derived Japanese sport compact quickly earned the respect of enthusiasts simply by the amount of performance it offered for the price. A turbocharged boxer engine coupled to a full-time all-wheel drive …November 20, 2017

The Most Affordable AWD Sport-utility Vehicles in Canada

To confront our harsh winters, a vehicle equipped with an all-wheel drivetrain has an undeniable advantage. The biggest selection of affordably priced models is found in the small SUV segment, and every automaker offers at least one of them in their product line-up. The least-expensive AWD SUV currently on sale …November 13, 2017

2018 Subaru Outback, Forester and Crosstrek: Off Road, On Point

Last week, Subaru invited us to the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (formerly known as Mosport) development track to test drive the 2018 lineup. The brand behind the six-star logo had scheduled some track time for an exercise that turned out to be completely pointless with the Legacy, Impreza, Crosstrek and …October 4, 2017
