Subie & YOU!

Meet the Host

Rafael Ruiz

Rafael is a Native Texan and the owner of a 2021 manual transmission Subaru Crosstrek. He enjoys driving his Crosstrek and hitting the trails whenever possible. In less than four years, he has hit the 100,000+ mile club!

His biggest passion is connecting the Subaru Community through the Subie & YOU! Podcast where he interviews Subie owners to talk about their builds, their driving experiences, and being a part of this amazing Subaru community.

In addition to Subaru owners as guests of the podcast, he interviews businesses that provide aftermarket products that many Subaru owners enjoy adding to their builds to make them unique!

Not only is the podcast a one of a kind, it is also sponsored by the Subaru Gear Store where Subaru enthusiasts can browse Subaru and Subaru Motorsports USA branded merchandise, as well as many different collections.
