Simply put, the Subaru Crosstrek is practically in a segment unto itself. However, it does have small crossover characteristics and, as such, MotorWeek recently included the latest model in its subcompact SUV challenge.

In general, subcompact SUVs try to offer the best of car and SUV worlds with efficiency, spaciousness, versatility, capability, maneuverability and more rhyming characteristics. However, most don't succeed at effectively balancing all of these attributes -- that is, we said most. The Crosstrek, on the other hand, boasts standard all-wheel drive, available

With a vehicle as adventurous as the 2016 Subaru Outback, you want -- no need it to come with some smart safety systems. Well, Subaru has a knack for passenger protection, and the brand balances the Outback all-terrain tenacity with a five-star government crash test rating and a plethora of advances safety features.

This crossover wagon comes with such standard niceties as a rearview camera as well as stability and traction control -- and it only gets more protective from there. The available STALINK™ system provides such connected services as automatic collision notification for

Don't let its size fool you; the2016 Subaru Forester compact crossover delivers full-size capability. Its svelte body shape makes for easy maneuvers on tight trails as well as crowded Milford, CT streets.

But its modest dimensions aren't all that the Forester has going for it in terms of performance. This small SUV also boasts standard all-wheel drive for all-weather confidence and off-road capability. The Forester boasts more all-terrain tenacity than many of its rivals, and as such, it's a bargain for the standard ultra-capable performance.

There are those concept cars that look like mere figments of the automaker's imagination -- you know, futuristic vehicles with outlandish style and impractical designs -- and then there's the levelheaded luxury of the Subaru Impreza Sedan Concept.

One glance at this ultra-modern Subaru Impreza and you'll know this is a super-sophisticated compact car that could realistically be your daily driver. However, that doesn't mean that Subaru is being conservative with its makeovers -- on the contrary, actually. The Impreza Sedan Concept recently debuted at the 2015 L.A. Auto Show, and

There's a lot of trust that goes into buying a car, both with the dealership and the automotive brand. But when you combine the spotless reputations of Dan Perkins Subaru and the Subaru brand with the reliability and high-tech safety of the 2016 Subaru Legacy, you have nothing to worry about.

The Legacy is a midsize sedan that comes with a money-saving all-wheel-drive system as well as all-new technology for the 2016 model year. You can rest assured that the Legacy has your back with the available EyeSight® system, which harmonizes adaptive cruise control and lane departure intervention

Don't let those four doors fool you. The 2016 Subaru WRX does look exceptionally levelheaded (especially with that Subaru logo leading the way on the front fascia), save for that magnificent spoiler on the trunk, but we assure you that this performance car prioritizes fun and performance as highly as it does functionality and practicality.

This is especially true when you look at the 2016 WRX STI, which is the high-performance variant of the already powerful sedan. It comes with a more potent engine, Brembo brakes, selectable drive modes, a unique suspension, front and rear

The Milford, CT adventurer's favorite compact crossover received a bit of a technological makeover this year, and it's bringing this beloved little hauler into the 21st century -- or maybe even the future of automotive safety.

We're talking about the 2016 Subaru Forester and its new touchscreen-based technology interface. Even the base 2.5i boasts a 6.2-inch touchscreen with Subaru STARLINK™, a rearview camera, smartphone app integration, HD radio and Bluetooth connectivity.

You know the tried-and-true characteristics of Subaru vehicles -- standard all-wheel drive, life-saving construction, all-weather capability, refined ruggedness -- but what about new Subaru traits? What's been keeping its lineup fresh-faced over the past couple years?

Have you heard about the Subaru STARLINK™ infotainment system yet? If you've been following Subaru news, you've probably heard quite a bit about it, and it might surprise you to know that this suite of safety, security and convenience features only came onto the scene back in the 2015 model year.

We'll admit it -- Milford, CT drivers have quite a few options when it comes to midsize sedans. However, they only have a couple when it comes to standard surefootedness, safety, style and sportiness -- namely the class-leading 2016 Subaru Legacy.

With its signature standard all-wheel drive and new advanced safety features, like lane keep assist with the optional Subaru EyeSight® system, the 2016 Legacy should be your top choice for family vehicles.

A sports car shouldn't be all about numbers, right? It should be just as much about those incalculable driving dynamics -- the feeling you get when you put the pedal to the metal and hug turns like you haven't seen them in years. That's what Subaru believes, anyway, with the 2015 Subaru BRZ.
