The “Colin McRae Charity Run” is heading back to Belfast on September 16 – organised by a group of local Subaru enthusiast owners, and supported by Subaru NI and Subaru Ireland.

The Subaru Forester is a car that I have yearned to own for some time and having explored its capabilities off-road for a day, I can now confirm, having driven one for a week on local roads, that the Forester is not perfect, but what it is, is fabulous!

Subaru are widely regarded as one of the best brands on the market to cope with a ‘country lifestyle’, as such you could likely count on just one hand the number of estates or farms throughout the country that don’t have one in the yard and we recently traveled to the Cotswold area for the launch and first drives of the 2017 Levorg.

As a long time admirer of the Subaru brand, mainly due to its huge success in rallying over the years, I was looking forward to getting my hands on the updated 2017 Subaru BRZ at the UK press launch and first drives at the start of the week.

Whilst at a Subaru UK off-road event, the latest Subaru Outback was on the agenda to put through its paces off the beaten track and despite looking like nothing more than a practical family estate it surpassed all expectations.

The fact that most Subaru owners tend to keep their cars forever, is proof that the Japanese brand is doing something right by building cars that owners don’t feel the need to chop in for something new every couple of years as well as providing cars that are built to last.

We recently visited Rally School Ireland in Monaghan alongside Subaru NI and in the company of the fastest racing driver in Northern Ireland, Colin Turkington from Portadown. Colin kindly took time out of his hectic British Touring Car Championship schedule to give us a taste of what it’s like in a Subaru Levorg with the master at the helm.

Rally School Ireland know a thing or two about traction, reliability and value for money. So there was no surprise when the Co Monaghan based Rally school chose Subaru Foresters as the latest additions to their ever growing fleet of vehicles.

Subaru are renowned for four wheel drive vehicles that range from turbo charged petrol rally inspired saloon cars right up to the country gentleman’s diesel favourites that will accommodate a few buckets of meal for the herd or a shotgun and a couple of Spaniels.

From a young age, I have been a big fan of the Subaru brand, right from the time that Colin McRae rallied the Subaru Legacy, that infamous sound from the boxer engine echoing around the stages is a noise only bettered by some of the old Grip B rally cars.
