Don't let its categorization fool you; the 2016 Subaru Forester is downright spacious. We're talking ample passenger and cargo accommodations, both enhanced with a variety of features and functionality.

First off, the Forester's airy cabin sports notably comfortable seats, positioned high for optimum visibility. Soft-touch materials wrap the cabin and make for a premium-feeling space. The cargo area boasts generous dimensions as well as the flexibility of near fold-flat seats and an available power liftgate for easy access. All in all, there's much more to the Forester than its

A new model year can bring about all sorts of scary changes to a top-selling sedan. It can also be a letdown if a brand rests on its ores and leaves the car virtually unchanged. Subaru has a way of striking an ideal medium between overhaul and underwhelm, and they showcase this ability in the 2016 Subaru Legacy.

The Legacy remains a top choice for midsize sedans thanks to its rare standard all-wheel-drive system and general well-rounded design, and it manages to attract new, young and tech-savvy drivers with new cloud-based infotainment services (complete with Internet-connected news

From an onlooker's perspective, the 2016 Subaru WRX is a levelheaded family car. Sure, it has some visual pizzazz with that glorious spoiler on the back, but with that practical set of four doors, it sure looks like it might have more paternal instincts than performance-oriented ones.

But don't be fooled -- this high-performance car lives up to its promise of family-friendly thrills, especially with the ultra-high-performance 2016 WRX STI. The STI model comes equipped with a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder boxer engine that's worth up to 305 horsepower and 290 pound-feet

The Subaru brand has quite a few claims to fame. From Subaru vehicles' standard all-wheel drive and safety- conscious construction to their long lifespan and reputation for reliability, they have created quite a name for themselves among levelheaded Madison, WI drivers (and even those not-so-levelheaded, like those that zoom around in a WRX or BRZ performance vehicle).

Well, recently Subaru has tacked on a new attribute to its laundry list of desirable characteristics, and that's "tech-savviness." You'll find that many of our new Subaru models offer something called

It's hard to say what our favorite part is about the refreshed 2016 Subaru Legacy, but we'll give it a shot. This midsize sedan already made a name for itself in a crowded segment of family cars with its standard all-wheel drive and top crash test scores, and the 2016 models introduces even more game-changing technologies and equipment.

Most notably (and perhaps our favorite part of the new model), every Legacy model comes equipped with some variation of the Subaru STARLINK™ system, a bundle of security, safety and infotainment features accessible through a standard touchscreen

Do your dream weekend fantasies include a shiny, new Subaru? We don't blame you. With autumn upon us, we hear that our customers are hankering for a good road trip, and one of our favorite road-trip vehicles is the Subaru Impreza.

This compact car is available in both a sedan and hatchback configuration, and all-wheel drive comes standard (a money-saving rarity in the segment). Fuel ratings are competitive, which is a perk on a long trip. And even though this is considered to be a "small" car, the cabin is surprisingly spacious.

You know Subaru for its class-leading safety, craftsmanship and reliability, namely in family-oriented vehicles. But how do these ingredients work together in a genuine sports car?>

That's a valid question. If you haven't experienced the hair-raising performance of the 2015 Subaru BRZ for yourself, the idea of a high-performance Subaru may sound like an oxymoron to you. We can assure you, however, that the BRZ, while a wholly unique breed of Subaru, is a tried-and-true high-performance coupe.

Don't prevent yourself from seizing an off-road opportunity by driving something ... well, incapable. If you often find yourself wishing you could veer off the pavement and onto a mysterious path into the woods, throwing caution (and maybe work) to the wind, but your fantasies are kept in check by a front-wheel-drive sedan, maybe it's time for a change of vehicles.

Perhaps you should consider the Subaru XV Crosstrek. This compact crossover is based on the Impreza sedan, so it's great as a daily driver.

It wasn't too long ago that driving a compact car meant driving a bare-bones eco box. No frills, no features, no fun -- or maybe something a little less dramatic. In any case, small sedans weren't known for their ample amenities back in the day, but now all of that has changed for the better.

This is quintessential Subaru, and Madison, WI drivers are loving it.

We'll be a bit more specific about that. We're talking about the 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek compact crossover, which looks something like a raised hatchback, not really a thoroughbred SUV. That's because the Crosstrek is based on the Impreza compact car, so it boasts carlike handling but a crossover ride height and quintessential Subaru capabilities.
