    Subaru Reviews

    The Japanese carmaker chose to follow a different path from its rivals by its use of boxer engines and all-wheel drive across all models.

Subaru offers the small Impreza hatch and sedan, medium Liberty sedan, the high riding Liberty-based Outback crossover wagon, XV and Forester SUVs, BRZ sports coupe, and rally-bred WRX and WRX STi hatches.
