OR A CAR THAT
CAN ACTUALLY
DRIVE UP HERE?
WHEN YOUR CAR CAN’T, SUBARU CAN.
Other 4x4s come with unnecessary extras like Levitating
Gear Sticks and Interior Mood Lighting. However, at Subaru
we think you’d prefer our
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
technology that comes as standard
†
. Meaning you’ll have
a grip on all terrains – mud, wet fields, sand, snow and ice.
So if you’d rather go places others can’t, maybe it’s time you
look at a Subaru instead.
Our
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive technology,
comes as
standard throughout the range
†
starting from just
£17,495*.

First drive verdict
on new DS 3 Cabrio
DS’s range revamp continues
with the DS 3, as the six-year-
old MINI rival gets a revised
engine range and new tech.
There’s a fresh look, too,
with the new DS family face
bringing it into line with the rest
of the model range. We liked
the supermini in three-door
hatch form with a diesel engine
(issue 1,411). But does losing
the roof spoil the DS 3’s appeal?
We try the Cabrio version
fitted with the new PureTech
130 petrol engine to find out.
