In recent years Subarus have gained notoriety and achieved cult status as cars driven by speed lovers. They are kind of oddball cars and it is the kind of car you do not buy by accident. You might buy a Premio because it is just a car. If I see you driving a Subaru, I know it was more of a conscious decision. It is never the cheapest car in its segment, and they are all a bit different including but not limited to the Forester, Outback, Impreza, Legacy etc. Subarus are reliable, give your car the maintenance and love it deserves and it will last a very long time.

Energetic from day one, Subaru’s XV has been a shining light for the carmaker over the past decade.
Essentially a jacked-up version of the Impreza hatch, over the past decade it was a trailblazer for the brand and one of the leaders in the compact SUV realm a genre which is now bustling with opposition.
Armed with extra equipment, along with a new grille, front bumper, fog light surround and alloy wheel designs, the 2021 editions of the XV have arrived as part of a midlife update.
Hybrid models join the cohort of new iterations, but the pure petrol models remain the most popular. Despite having the ‘Premium’ badge, this model sits one rung down from the top of the XV ladder.
