Don Miller Subaru West News & Blog

Maybe it is just because we are such big fans of the new WRX here at Don Miller Subaru West, but we think rally racing should be a much bigger sport here in the U.S.

People who complain about the boring nature of NASCAR or Indy racing would certainly like the varied terrain and 2-person teams necessary for a good rally race. Drifting, shifting, swerving, and jumping are all parts of a good race…

One of the most-requested in-car features these days is definitely a voice command system. Not only do drivers like it because it eliminates the need to fiddle with buttons, but it is also a safety feature allowing drivers to keep their eyes on the road.

This is the season when most folks take time out and do good for others. Whether it is donating toys, canned food, or just helping at a homeless shelter, there's always some way a person can help. Subaru has been doing this exact thing for some time with the Share the Love Event.

Partnering with certain charities, such as Meals On Wheels, and Make A Wish, the company allows its buyers to choose which…

Sometimes when an automaker comes creates an amazing new design for a car and doesn't have the resources to physically build it, they will bring it to life digitally.
