From the May/June 2025 issue of Car and Driver.Subarus and I go way back. I learned how to drive at age 11 on a GL wagon in the woods in Maine. Later, I built my own rally course out there and borrowed a cast-off Fast & Furious WRX STI to relive my childhood (but better). I've ridden with rally god Petter Solberg in Spain and driven the current WRX TR on the Targa Florio roads in Sicily. So, … [Read more...]

From the November 1994 issue of Car and Driver.Compromise has become a dirty word. In 1994, it means giving in and not getting what you want. In your marriage. In the courtroom. In Congress.

Over two longish generations, the Tiguan was first a bit too compact for a compact crossover, then a little on the ungainly side, at least proportion-wise. The third-gen Tiguan is aimed at what Volkswagen believes to be the segment's sweet spot.It's not as though Volkswagen had trouble selling the last one, however. … [Read more...]
