Subaru's website, www.subaru.com.au, has been independently ranked as the number five automotive website in Australia, according to Hitwise, the web monitoring company.

Hitwise says the website achieved the high ranking in their most recent quarterly report, based on the number of visits.

www.subaru.com.au has been comprehensively upgraded in recent months to ensure even easier navigation and access to information.

Among the latest features is the new "live" rally section, where visitors can access the times of individual cars on each stage of the Australian Rally Championship as the event progresses.

No other website can offer the "instant" timing for each car. The service will also be available during the first round of the Asia-Pacific Rally Championship, the Subaru Rally of Canberra, from 25-27 April.
