A decade or two ago, you wouldn’t be caught dead off-roading with a compact crossover—it just wasn’t a thing. Today? Boy, how the world’s changed. Small SUVs have evolved to give us the option to explore the rugged terrain around Lake Shawnee, to trek up the muddy slopes near Clinton State Park, to transform into submarines and survey the ocean floor.

Okay, maybe we haven’t come that far, but it’s safe to say that compact SUVs are better than ever.

If you own a Subaru, you already know that it’s the perfect outdoor adventure vehicle. Subarus excel at taking the road less traveled thanks to their legendary all-wheel-drive, advanced off-road suspension, and impressive cargo-carrying capabilities—all of which are standard fare on all Subaru SUVs and wagons.

If you’re looking for the best campgrounds for tents, dog-friendly camping, or campsites near lakes, we have the answers. So, let’s go camping!

When you finally emerge into the warmth of spring, after a long, cold winter here in Lawrence, you want everything around you to shine—including your car and garage. Unfortunately, you might have a hard time deciding where to start. (And with winter's accumulated dirt and grime to get rid of, you've got your work cut out for you!)

When you're ready to dive in with your spring cleaning tasks, make sure you utilize these key car care tips, and you’re sure to make your vehicle and garage shiny as sin.

We know Subaru vehicles retain their value better than others. Subaru owners know it, too. And now the world’s also in on the auto industry’s biggest little secret, as J.D. Power’s ALG has handed Subaru the Residual Value Award for the fifth time in six years.

In all, four Subaru models – that’s 50% of Subaru’s lineup – won individual Residual Value Awards for their respective segments, which is one main reason for the brand’s overall win.

Those who say a perfect car doesn’t exist clearly haven’t tested out the new Subaru Crosstrek. In its own right, the 2021 Crosstrek is a dynamo, offering a pinch of off-roading verve here, a peppering of passing-lane pep there, and a whole lot of station wagon-lite styling that won’t make you roll your eyes. Is it one of the best compact utility vehicles on the road? You be the judge.

Anyone who cares about safety, style, and reliability should have the opportunity to drive a brand-new Subaru. (Luckily, there's a way to make the dream of driving a Subaru a reality: just visit our Subaru dealership in Kansas!)

But we digress. You’re here to learn about the benefits of leasing a Subaru or purchasing/financing one, not how we can make your dreams a reality. Allow us to help you make an informed decision. Outlined below is a list of “lease vs. buy” pros and cons. 

This year has been nothing short of interesting due to COVID-19 (that’s an understatement), but with precautions, many local Lawrence pumpkin patches are opening their doors for the fall season. We’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite pumpkin patch locations around the Lawrence and Topeka area that have confirmed they’re opening for Halloween 2020. So, go grab your perfect Jack-o-Lantern to carve!

The Kia Telluride turned a lot of heads in its 2020 maiden voyage, with a lot of the features you want in an SUV, along with some features you didn’t know you needed. Now, with a very modest refresh in 2021, the new Telluride hopes to cash in on that newfound fame.

“Not so fast,” says the 2021 Subaru Ascent. Harnessing the power of many similar features found in the Kia, plus a few exclusive ones, the new Subaru SUV is challenging the status quo. So, if you’re looking for a new 8-passenger SUV for your family road…
