Enjoy 5-Star Crash Safety Rating
Subaru are good looking and powerful line of cars with the special distinction of offering All-Wheel Drive on every vehicle. Selected Subaru dealerships also provide an advanced driving course for new owners.
The least expensive yet powerful model Subaru makes is the Impreza. It is one of the safest cars in the market with a five-star ANCAP safety rating. Equipped with both driver and passenger airbags, as well as side curtain airbags and lower seat belt restraints specifically planned to protect toddlers in the backseat. The car is also cheap to run, making 27 MPG on the freeeway and still costing below $25,000 brand new.
The Subaru Outback won the coveted 2010 Motor Trend’s Sport/Utility of the Year Award. It has a fantastic body-style, made for function, strength and class. With 170 HP, the Outback is fitted for family or the single person with a more active lifestyle. The price continues to be reasonable for a small sports utility vehicle, at just over $40,000.
The Tribeca is at the top of the Subaru line, in terms of price and luxury. Prices for this SUV sets out at $68,000 and you’re treated to the luxury finish you would expect in a higher-end vehicle: leather seats, sunroof, heated front seats and a backup rear-vision camera.
In between these models are the Liberty and Forester, also highly ranked for safety by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It should be noted that Subaru’s have an excellent resale value and an impressive engine life. Buying a used Subaru that has passed an inspection is still a good investment.
All Subaru cars have the All-Wheel Drive feature as standard. Instead of having to engage 4-Wheel Drive, each tire moves when you’re driving. This includes turning, giving the Subaru unrivalled turning radius and traction.
It s also a little different from you may be used to, which is why some Subaru dealerships actually offer defensive driving courses. They are intended to tutor new Subaru owners how to handle the AWD, as well as various defensive driving techniques. Customers that attend the advanced driving courses discover that they become better acquainted with their new vehicles and wind up enjoying them more.
