Reasons to Buy a Subaru
Subaru are reliable and powerful line of cars with symmetrical All-Wheel Drive as standard on all models. Selected Subaru dealerships also have an advanced driving course for new owners.
The Subaru Impreza is the least expensive model Subaru makes, and it still packs a punch. With a five-star ANCAP safety rating, and have both driver and passenger airbags, as well as side curtain airbags and lower seat belt restraints specifically designed to protect kids in the backseat. The car is also economical, making 27 MPG on the freeeway and still costing below $25,000 brand new.
The Subaru Outback received 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 suited for family or the single person with a more active lifestyle. The price remains to be reasonable for a small sports utility vehicle, at just over $40,000.
The top of the line Tribeca is the luxury SUV by Subaru. Prices for this SUV begins at $68,000 and you’re treated to the luxury finish you would anticipate in a higher-end vehicle: leather seats, power moon roof, heated front seats and a backup rear-vision camera.
In between these models are the Liberty and Forester, also highly rated for safety by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Most Subaru’s have an impressive engine life and a good resale value. Buying a used Subaru that has passed an inspection is still a good investment.
The standard feature across the Subar line of cars is the All-Wheel Drive. Instead of having to engage 4-Wheel Drive, each tire moves when you’re driving. This includes turning, giving the Subaru unrivaled turning radius and grip.
This unique feature is a little different from what you may be used to, which is why some Subaru dealerships actually offer advanced driving courses. They are intended to tutor new Subaru owners how to handle the AWD, as well as various advanced driving techniques. Customers that attend the defensive driving courses find that they become better familiarized with their new vehicles and wind up enjoying them more.
