do passionate things.
True commitment shows through. For Subaru owners, it shows in kayak scuffs and mud-coated boots. It can take the form of dog hair that just won’t come out, fresh coats of dust, or extra coats of wax. For many, the Subaru Badge of Ownership lets them show their commitment to the life they live and the confidence that has inspired them to fully embrace it. Owners can order badges online for free, stick them on, and let everyone know how they experience the world. Which one would you get?

More miles,
more milestones.
One thing you’ll notice about Subaru owners is how long they hang on to them. Terry Prine remembers the day he brought his 2003 Subaru Forester home, and all of the great moments he’s had with it by his side. Memories like passing the 100,000 mark on the odometer. With devoted owners like Terry, it only makes sense that 96% of all Subaru cars built in the last 12 years are still on the road today his Forester so much that he even plans on handing it down to his son Miles (that’s really his name).
A memory in every mile.
Going on tour with my band in ’03, the Forester was my bus. I could load in all of my buddies and gear and still had room to pick things up on the way. An amazing time.
Packing up the family and taking our first road trip. I tried never to take the same road twice and the kids loved it. They especially enjoyed seeing all the different landscapes through the big windows and giant moonroof.
The joy of having two healthy kids is only surpassed by having our third. With a growing family, I know that they’re always safe in my Subaru, and that one day, my son Miles will get the Forester to make his own memories.

This past weekend, the kids and I set out for one last trip before they had to go back to school. In search of California’s state fish, the golden trout, we car-camped with friends near Mono Pass and day-hiked into this incredible string of lakes known as Little Lakes Valley. We caught 25 fish within 3 hours. Rainbows, brookies and yes, the elusive golden trout! The kids were in heaven.

wide variety of animals.

with those who believe in building a cleaner and
greener world as much as we do. That’s why
we support organizations like Leave No Trace
Center for Outdoor Ethics, United By Blue and
Greensgrow Philadelphia Project.
In 2004, Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc. (SIA) became the first manufacturing facility in the U.S. to reach zero-landfill status and be designated a Backyard Wildlife Habitat.
