2024 Subaru Outback 2.5i-Touring: Versatility Without Bounds
Subaru is renowned for producing some of the most practical and well-designed vehicles on the market. Quite frankly, I have not encountered a single Subie that hasn’t been used, abused, and yet, maintained as well-loved family cars, one way or the other. This statement applies to not only its bestselling SUV, the Subaru Forester, but also to its range of performance cars, such as the Subaru WRX and BRZ. In fact, if there is one thing that I find to be unique to Subaru, it is the brand’s consistency in offering up cars that are reliable and can satiate an enthusiast’s drive for power and precision.

And like fungi that thrive in dark, damp places, none of them deserve to be in the limelight. They’d be great for a couple of days or so, but something always throws you off. Until now. The GWM Haval H6 shows us that when they get their act together, they could make pretty compelling cars.
