Ever since the Subaru BRZ first launched alongside the Toyota GT86/Scion FR-S (remember Scion?!), fans have been asking for an STI version. Unfortunately for those fans, the 2024 Subaru BRZ tS isn’t quite the STI version they were hoping for, even if “tS” stands for “tuned by STI.” However, forget the name or what it stands for—the BRZ tS is among the most fun you can have on four wheels for less than six figures.… Read More →

I don’t mind admitting it: I thought it may have been a case of ambition overtaking ability. As accomplished a WRC2 driver as Josh McErlean is, aiming to challenge the Subaru Motorsports USA outfit in America was a brave target – simply because they rarely, if ever, get beaten. I equally don’t mind admitting I was wrong. Very wrong. McErlean may not have got the result at Overmountain Rally Tennessee, but he certainly made the… Read More →

Subaru’s rally-bred sedan was the getaway car of choice for a generation of criminals tormenting UK law enforcement. The Impreza’s durability, honed over gruelling World Rally Championship special stages, made it equally adept at surviving the chaos of being driven through shop windows – and then evading capture.
