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
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
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)

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
The all-new, second-generation Subaru Levorg has been caught undisguised in Japan, possibly hinting at a debut real soon. 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

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.

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

In return, Subaru will purchase 80 billion Yen worth of Toyota shares. Both companies also confirmed that they will continue to develop the next generation Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ.

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

Subaru, being the legends that they are, envisions a future where people would still drive and enjoy it despite the rise of autonomous driving. Enter the all-new Subaru Levorg. Well, technically still a prototype but it looks production ready. It gets underpinned by the Subaru Global Platform, which is already employed in the XV, Impreza and Forester. The platform has progressed with full inner frame construction that enhances body rigidity further. Externally it adopts the current Subaru design
The most popular Subaru in Malaysia is none other than the Subaru XV.

Subaru Forester Think the current Subaru Forester looks a tad too bland and almost similar to the previous generation? What if we tell you, that you can make them look more aggressive and stand out from the crowd? Enter the Subaru Forester GT Edition. Recently launched in Thailand, you’ll get a new front aero bumper dominated by rugged black lower apron, a more pronounced side skirts along with a rear lower bumper apron, new 18-inch alloy, and an aggressive-looking rear spoiler.

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
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
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
Prepare to get excited Toyobaru fans! That’s because Subaru has announced that the long-awaited successor to one of the WapCar office’s favourite sports car, the all-new Subaru BRZ will have its world debut in fall 2020. Well, technically it’s already fall if you’re reading this in the Northern Hemisphere but for the lucky few who attended the 2020 Subiefest World Record Attempt and Charity Drive at Costa Mesa, California, they get a sneak peek of the sports car. Based on the few images we found
The C-segment SUV market is surely one of the most competitive in Malaysia. With almost every major carmaker offering one, it’s not hard to see why these are gaining popularity among Malaysians. They are spacious and practical for a growing family, with some even offering 7 seats. Plus, with a higher driving position, it’s probably an ideal vehicle for those who wish to command more presence on the road. But while practicality and size are determining factors in getting a C-segment SUV, another
Earlier this year, a clay model of an electric Subaru was previewed at a technology briefing in Japan. At first unnamed, it seems now that the car will called the Subaru Evoltis.The model is a result of the partnership between Subaru and Toyota. What we know so far is that Subaru’s electric car will still carry on the all-wheel-drive heritage. Best Car Web reports that the full-electric Subaru is scheduled to appear in April 2022. Being built from the ground up as an electric car, there is more
Subaru is set to launch its long-awaited all-new 2022 Subaru BRZ on 18-November. However, there’s some bit of unfortunate news. The BRZ will be a US-only model according to reports. There are no plans for the next-gen sports car to be brought over into Europe, a spokesperson told Autocar. This is similar to the Nissan Z Proto which will only be sold in Japan and U.S.A if it enters production. The 2022 BRZ will retain the sleek coupe profile as the outgoing BRZ and sport 18-inch wheels similar to

The Subaru Viziv Adrenaline was first previewed at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, showing off a new design concept of future Subaru models. Japan's Best Car Web has a new theory about the car with a prediction that the concept crossover might come to life in December 2021. Back then not much was revealed about the concept car, prompting many to speculate the concept’s design is a preview of the brand’s Dynamic x Solid design language next evolution. The Dynamic x Solid design was first rolled out i

With Subaru's well-known rally heritage, expectations are always high for Subaru cars. The gold-standard is a turbocharged boxer engine matched with golden wheels and a massive hood-scoop. With a naturally aspirated engine and a CVT transmission, the Subaru XV GT Edition might sound a little underwhelming. It's like the less famous sibling - the Cody Walker, the Luke Hemsworth, or the Tom Franco. Only those who have driven the Subaru XV will understand the appeal of it. Born with Subaru's symmet
