Subaru Forester 2.0D (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Glen Waddington, 23 September 2008 12:00

We’re already familiar with the Forester, Subaru’s take on the junior SUV market. It grew in stature and capacity as it morphed from last-gen to current model, but it lacked one crucial element: diesel power. Now it’s here, in the form of Subaru’s brilliant – and unique – 2.0-litre flat four. Does this new body/engine combo mean the Forester can ...

Subaru Impreza 2.5 WRX STi Type UK (2008) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Ben Oliver, 08 April 2008 06:44

New Imprezas seem to arrive with the frequency of buses. But this one really is new, and important. It’s the UK-specification STi, so for us it’s the benchmark new Impreza: it gets the 2457cc, 297bhp flat-four instead of the Japanese-spec 2.0-litre, which CAR Online was the first to test the day after its Tokyo motor show unveiling in November 2007. ...

Subaru Legacy Sports Tourer 2.0TD RE CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Anonymous, 21 January 2008 10:36

A quiet storm has been brewing in the countryside. With customers torn between life long brand loyalty and the ever increasing cost of fuel Subaru’s dealerships have been fielding increasingly desperate calls for diesel powered models. It’s not quite reached the stage of lines of wax-jacketed folk with placards outside Subaru HQ but it’s not been far off. Like flat ...

Subaru Impreza WRX STi CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 09 November 2007 08:53

Please, please tell me the WRX STi is more impressive than the standard Impreza... It is, though the naturally aspirated 2.0-litre Scooby isn’t without merit. It provides a decent base for the WRX STi, which has always been the best of the breed since the first version appeared in 1994. But Subaru has tried to go mainstream with the latest ...

Subaru Impreza 2.0R CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Anonymous, 31 August 2007 11:50

The Impreza turns sensible but who is going to buy it? Subaru is either extremely brave or taking a very big risk. With its new hatchback Impreza, it's deliberately moving away from the established and passionate following on which the outgoing model has thrived. So it’s farewell big wings and bonnet scoops and hello sensible hatchback styling and sensible, normally ...

Subaru Impreza RB320 CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Anonymous, 26 April 2007 08:13

Another special edition Impreza. We must be into three figures by now Probably. This one’s the RB320, built as a tribute to the late former WRC champ Richard Burns who died in 2005, hence the RB in the name. The 320 bit refers to the output in bhp and also the production run. A tribute! It looks fantastic but it’s ...

Subaru B9 Tribeca 3.0 CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 15 December 2006 02:30

Is this the ugliest car on sale? I like a man who gets straight to the point. The Tribeca’s certainly an acquired taste - it’s difficult to look at either end without wanting to vomit. But at least it’s distinctive, and viewed in profile it’s actually fairly handsome. But yes, this does look like a car that’s got some chromosomal ...

Subaru Impreza 1.5R CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Anonymous, 22 November 2006 09:20

What do you mean 1.5? Is that the boost level measured in bars? Or the time it takes to get to 60mph? Er, not quite. It refers to the size of the engine in good old-fashioned cubic centimetres. There are no turbos, just 104bhp and it takes 13.7sec to get to 62mph, or 8.3sec longer than the top of the ...
