Subaru SUV owners love what they drive for many reasons, from the roomy and versatile accommodations and four-season capability to the automaker's proven reputation for safety and reliability. But, of course, different people have different needs, so there's no one-size-fits-all solution. And that's why Subaru offers adventure-ready crossovers in a variety of configurations. Compact crossovers, in particular, are ideal for Waldorf drivers seeking more everyday utility than a sedan but need something with smaller space requirements.

Back in the mid-1990s, the Subaru Outback was simply a trim option for the Legacy wagon, adding a bit of protective body cladding and slightly raised suspension. However, the Legacy Outback's excellent versatility and improved off-road manners proved to be a hit, especially among more outdoorsy customers. So, Subaru decided to spin off the Outback into its own nameplate, further emphasizing these attributes, and the World's First Sport Utility Wagon was born. Eventually, the Outback would go on to become an integral component of Subaru's transition into a brand synonymous with

When it comes to properly maintaining your Subaru car or SUV, the importance of timely oil changes is hard to overstate. It's perhaps the most basic of all service items, but it's also the most essential for ensuring your ride's longevity, efficiency, and safe performance.

So, even though alignments are a common service item, they're generally performed "as-needed" instead of being part of your Subaru's routine maintenance schedule. As such, it's important to know the symptoms of improper alignment. In this blog...

The Outback is one of Subaru's most popular models. But 25 years ago, it was just a trim package of the Subaru Legacy wagon with a little protective cladding and raised suspension that gave it better off-road manners than the typical wagon. Eventually, Subaru would spin the Outback off into its own nameplate, emphasizing the model's intrepid capability and versatile interior, which made it popular with families and outdoor enthusiasts, alike. A few clever ad campaigns later (one starring Crocodile Dundee's Paul Hogan), and the World's First Sport Utility Wagon was off to the races...

"It's what makes a Subaru a Subaru." It's a tagline you've likely heard many times, usually in relation to some abstract notion that represents the brand more than its products.
