The Subaru WRX S4 STi Sport # has just been announced exclusively for Japan. Only 500 units will be made and each will be given additional STi parts to commemorate the model update. An exclusive colour, ceramic white, is also introduced for the STi Sport #. With this latest update, only one model variant is offered for the WRX S4 STi in Japan, the WRX S4 STi Sport EyeSight which as the name suggests features Subaru’s own EyeSight driver assist technology. So, what’s in the STi Sport #? Well, it

Kerjasama Toyota dan Subaru nampaknya semakin rancak. Pada mulanya, mereka menghasilkan kereta kembar melalui Toyota 86 dan Subaru BRZ. Baru-baru ini, kereta sport tersebut sudahpun memasuki generasi kedua. Kini, mereka sekali lagi ingin bekerjasama untuk membangunkan sebuah hothatch AWD. Apa maklumat yang ada? Bagi anda yang belum tahu, nama ‘Impreza’ dikeluarkan dalam bentuk sedan dan hatchback. Nama ‘WRX’ pula hanya diberi untuk sedan. Walau bagaimanapun, Subaru Impreza generasi ketiga (GRB)

The Toyota and Subaru partnership has turned out to be joyfully fruitful one for enthusiasts, because, well, we got two generations of the Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ twins. Now, they want to do it again, this time creating an all-wheel drive (AWD), rally-bred hot-hatch. So what do we know? First things first, it's vital to know the Impreza nameplate covers both sedans and hatchbacks. Meanwhile, the WRX model line-up is reserved only for sedans. That said, the third-generation (GRB) Impreza was the

The Subaru WRX is one of those old-school four-door performance sedans that just refuses to give up. Even in an age where hot hatches are the in-thing. Subaru too isn’t giving up on an icon by slapping it on a crossover, unlike some other Japanese manufacturer. Just like the barrage of Mazda scoops yesterday, our Japanese media friends are also busy with another smaller Japanese carmaker. According to Best Car Web, Subaru is eyeing to unleash the next-gen WRX in August 2021. This will be the thi

Subaru is one of those underrated brands that not many Malaysians would consider getting unless they are passionate about AWD or the legacy of the WRX. As we reported before, Subaru isn’t giving up on the WRX name with plans to launch the successor in 2021. Well, it seems that timeline is getting underway with images of a fully camouflaged WRX spotted in Japan. The model captured appeared to be the WRX S4 which is the CVT version of Subaru’s hot sedan. Fans of the manual need not vape in anger a

A very interesting photo depicting all of Subaru’s product plan all the way through to 2024 has come to our attention courtesy of Autoguide. It looks like the launch of the next Subaru BRZ and Subaru WRX is set as soon as 2021! While the blurry photo seems legit and all, we still caution to view this with a pinch of salt as Autoguide did not offer any context with only an explanation that the graph might be a generalisation of when production is expected to begin.

Nealy seven years after leaving Indonesia, Subaru is set to return to the country under the distributorship of a different company. Back then, Subaru was represented by PT Motor Image Indonesia (MII), but the company exited Indonesia after running into price approval issues. But that will soon change, as our colleagues over at Autofun reported that Subaru will be returning to Indonesia later this year, under PT Plaza Auto Mega – Subaru’s new distributor for the country. Plaza Auto also is also a

Once in a while, something really hot pops up in the used car markets that we just can't ignore. Partly because we are petrolheads, and partly because we like to live vicariously and look at pictures of cars we cannot afford yet. This is one such example - a 1999 Subaru Impreza (GC) sedan that looks like it just drove off a Subaru dealership a couple of hours ago. It’s obvious that it’s been lovingly restored (read: thousands of Ringgit poured into it), so let’s see what you will get for the ask

Sekitar tahun 90an hingga ke awal 00an, Subaru mendominasi kejohanan-kejohanan rali dengan jayanya. Jika anda masih ingat, Proton turut aktif berkecimpung dalam arena sukan rali sekitar tahun yang sama. Subaru dengan senang hati telah merealisasikan sebuah jentera rali juara untuk menjadi sebuah jentera yang boleh dipandu harian. Begitulah asal usul Subaru Impreza GC ini. Jentera yang dipaparkan ini telah dikembalikan kepada keadaan asal. Oleh hal yang demikian, di sini kami senaraikan modifikas

Bagi peminat tegar kereta, nama Subaru memang sinonim dengan perlumbaan rali, terutamanya model Subaru Impreza WRX STi dengan warna biru serta ‘livery’ kuning yang terkenal. Bagi pengguna biasa di Malaysia pula, anda mesti kenal dengan Subaru XV, SUV yang telah memperkasakan jenama Jepun ini disini. Selain itu juga, Subaru terkenal dengan penggunaan pacuan semua roda simetri (symmetrical AWD) dan juga enjin jenis boxer (mendatar, atau ‘flat’) pada kesemua model barisan model kereta (kecuali Suba

“If I wanted to fly, I would be a pilot”. Those are the words of legendary rally driver, Walter Röhrl, when he explained why he wasn’t a fan of jumps on rally stages. Similarly, if you wanted to go fast on water, you should be piloting a speed boat, not a car. Aquaplaning is what happens when you go too fast on a wet road on a rainy day. During a heavy downpour, your chances of a traffic collision increases. Cars spin out, crash into dividers, or even crash into other cars. The main culprit is a

A couple of months after we saw the all-new 2021 Subaru Levorg appearing undisguised on the streets of Japan, we now know how it looks courtesy of a couple of leaks on Japanese media. It continues the recent trend of production cars looking similar to their concept counterparts as the all-new Levorg looks virtually unchanged from the concept shown at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show. Sources also reported that the Levorg will come in several trims, however what’s named here are the GT, GT-H, and STi Sp

Petrolheads sometimes have it tough. We have too many cars we want, but we have not the resources to attain all of them. Also, when given an option, we would always choose a used, fun car versus a brand-new, but more vanilla car. So, for under RM 80,000, here are 5 cars that can bring a massive smile on your faces. I’ve tried to find cars that are diverse in character, drivetrain layout, and body types as much as I can. Bear in mind that you’ll have to stump up cash for cars that are 10 years or

Baru-baru ini saya perhatikan banyak netizen Facebook riuh rendah tentang trend kereta berprestasi Jepun dari zaman 80an, 90an, sehingga awal tahun 2000 yang dijual dengan harga melebihi nilai sebenar. Malah ada yang mencecah enam angka bagi casis bukan original model tetapi ‘convert’. Apa cerita? Kalau lihat bahagian komen, mesti ada yang meninggalkan komen seperti “mahal tak kena gaya”, “tak berbaloi sebab ‘convert’”, ataupun “kereta dah lama pun harga neraka ke?”.

The Audi Sport Quattro and Subaru WRX STI have cemented their names in the hall of fame of all-wheel-drive cars. AWD is good for performance and the fastest supercars of today mainly use AWD drivetrains. Today, just about any manufacturer has their own AWD system. And while they may differ in names, they basically send power to all four wheels. Some AWD systems are more superior than others, but that is a subject matter for another day. Despite the interesting technology behind AWD cars, most of

Fresh from its world debut at the 2020 Tokyo Auto Salon, we have learned that the Toyota GR Yaris could be coming to Malaysia soon. The GR Yaris will be the second Gazoo Racing road car to be sold in Malaysia, after the GR Supra. Prices have yet to be confirmed but don’t expect it to be cheap. Globally the GR Yaris is priced very close to a FK8 Honda Civic Type R, even though the Yaris is a B-segment model that sits one-class below the C-segment Civic. How much? Expect to play close to RM 300,00

The Toyota GR Yaris has been hogging the limelight recently and it's only fair - it reminds us of the classic Japanese sports car recipe of common cars made to go like a bat out of hell. Which is precisely what this as-yet-unnamed Subaru is. Japanese sources have reported that Subaru is planning a return to the World Rally Championship (WRC), and an all-new, rally-bred model is part of that plan. Due to regulations, it has to be smaller than the current Impreza, which makes it roughly the size o

Thanks to Creative311, this marks the first time the all-new Levorg has been spotted on public roads, as the model was confined to motors shows previously. Looks familiar? Speaking of motor show, the Levorg seen here is practically identical to the one we saw back at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show. Although the wheels look different, the report from Creative311 mentioned that the
