A travel guide app for Subaru drivers by Subaru drivers

Ls_article

Looking for the best camping and hiking spots in your area that are also dog friendly? Subaru has created a guide for travelers just like you.

Subaru's Guide to Everything is like a Yelp for road trips. The new crowdsourced travel guide contains 250 unique reviews written by Lonely Planet, and other destinations supplied by Subaru drivers.

The guide is available online and as a free downloadable iPhone app. Guide users can search for or add locations for camping, hiking, biking, dining, and sightseeing, and write comments, reviews, and provide tips. There's even a travel section specifically for dogs that aims to provide travel destinations that are Fido-friendly, but right now it's just a list of people's home addresses where their dogs live.

The app provides navigation to your destination, can share the site on Facebook, and lets you add photos to the review once you get there. Although it was designed with outdoorsy adventure-seeking Subaru owners in mind, anyone can use it, and you don't need a Subaru to add to it. Anyone with a Facebook account can create points of interests or share their two cents about locations.

Other automotive manufacturers are also trying to marry travel and social networking to entrench their user base. BMW created the Ultimate Drive Android and iPhone app to encourage vehicle owners to share their favorite stretches of pavement, and MINI owners have their own dedicated app for social motoring.

While Subaru's Guide to Everything looks great for finding travel destinations, it could benefit from a feature for trip planning. I'm hoping the next version will let you create and share an itinerary that plots pit stops, roadside attractions, and dining plans. I'd even be open to sharing the itinerary online to get feedback from other Subaru drivers.

8 Track Toys for Less Than 10 Grand: 2001-2002 Subaru Impreza WRX

Ls_article

Few cars are as synonymous with rally racing as Subaru's WRX, and for good reason. Subaru's rally team won nearly 50 events during its 15-year tenure on the World Rally Circuit and brought home three world championships — all on an Impreza platform. The GD, or second-generation WRX, was introduced in the United States in 2001 as a 2002 model. The turbocharged 2.0-liter 227-horsepower engine, all-wheel-drive and suspension geometry make this WRX a perfect option for tackling the rough stuff, particularly the "bug-eye" models.

2013 Subaru BRZ’s, A Rare Find?

As this issue goes to press Subaru hasn’t announced the official price of the BRZ coupe but rumors are sailing that production will be limited to somewhere in the 6,000-unit range.

The word is the base BRZ sticker will be around $24,000, less than a WRX but we think the major concern here is availability. Subaru has not commented on the 6,000 number and we are not sure if the ‘alleged limited production’ will be for only the initial 2013 model run or serve as the expected yearly production from here on out. Either way ‘get ‘em while they’re hot’ has taken on a whole new meaning.

Many thanks to Vicki, the author of this incredible review! Keep up the hard work, team.

"I have been taking my outback to Livermore Subaru for the past three years for all the regular services and have always been impressed with the care they show my car and me. They always do a professional job, and give me a heads up as to what my car may be needing soon i.e.. brakes, tires. This give me time to budget for the more expensive work. They are able to give me appointments in a timely fashion and deliver my car on time. Brian is my service advisor and is the best! I'm glad such a great service facility is available close to me in my home town!" --Vicki Curtis
