Fiesta Subaru

The term “affordable sports car” has changed over the years, but let’s start by considering what a sleek, light, high-performance, two-passenger car might be best for a drive around Rio Rancho. With the average price for a new automotive purchase beginning to exceed $49K, let’s also try to keep the price under $40,000 MSRP for all the bells and whistles. Finally, a true sports car should also at least offer a shift-for-yourself option, so let’s list a manual six-speed as a possibility. In 2025, these kinds of requirements cut down the number of contenders considerably. At the top of the list might be the new 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata, whose sleek roadster profile certainly meets the first requirement. With twin slim-line LED headlights and flowing lines that wrap around and carry the design from front to rear with graceful curves, the Mazda MX-5 looks good with the fabric top up or down. Minimalists will appreciate that the rear glass actually folds down into a rear well behind the cockpit...

It’s the middle of winter and this is not the usual time to think about sportcars. After all, you never know when a cold front will blow into Rio Rancho and make the streets and highways a mess? But a modern car enthusiast will always know their options, and sometimes it’s as simple as looking down. Look down at the tires that a modern sportscar like the 2025 Subaru BRZ has mounted. Tires are the only connection a car has to the road and technology has come a long way in offering a plethora of options to choose from. To start with, the 2025 Subaru BRZ--whether in Premium, Premium Plus, BRZ tS or Purple Special Edition—comes equipped with 215-40-18 radial tires (the Premium uses 17” alloy wheels, so 215-40-17 tires are fitted). These tires are usually best suited for summer use, with a rubber compound and tread that works best in moderate temperatures. Of course, there are all-season radials available that can expand this range into the near freezing mark, with a tread compound that wil...

  As we reach the end of another year, it’s amazing to think that I’ve been racing cars for almost forty years. No, I wasn’t born into a racing family and had to wait until I was well past college and earning enough money to start. But the driving skills that I’ve learned, together with the judgement of when and how to race effectively still serve me well. And while I don’t have the privilege of living in Santa Fe, NM I’ve visited often enough to know and appreciate the charms of this historic town. And of all the cars, SUVs and EVs available in the 2025 Subaru line, there’s only one I would pick to drive in and around Santa Fe, NM. The   2025 Subaru BRZ near Santa Fe NM , whether in Premium, Premium Plus, BRZ tS and Purple Special Edition would make for a delightful ride around this magical town. But why?

  As we reach the quarter century mark in 2025, consumers have more choices than ever. With so many cars, trucks and SUVs from myriad manufacturers than ever, the choices are mind boggling. Of course, there’s also the question of buying a pure electric vehicle (EV), hybrid or normally aspirated and turbo powered vehicle. Value questions all, but one factor not always considered is how much driving satisfaction are you looking for? For folks who put these two elements at the top of the list, the choices become clearer. Let’s also say you also admire Subaru for their efficiency, practicality and affordability, but are at a stage in life where you want a car that’ll set your nerves tingling (but not overloading) and satisfy your wish for pure driving pleasure (without breaking the bank). Looking at the 2025 Subaru lineup, that car is very likely to be the   2025 Subaru BRZ near Santa Fe, NM . With four different trim levels (Premium, Premium Plus, BRZ tS and Purple Special Editio...
