Reasons to Purchase a Subaru
Subaru are great looking and powerful line of cars with the unique distinction of offering All-Wheel Drive on every car. Selected Subaru dealers also provide an advanced driving course for new owners.
Inexpensive yet powerful, the Impreza still packs a punch. It is one of the safest cars in the market with a 5-star ANCAP safety rating. Equipped with both driver and passenger airbags, as well as side curtain airbags and lower seatbelt restraints specifically planned to protect kids in the backseat. The car is economical as well, making 27 MPG on the highway and still costing below $25,000 brand-new.
The Outback won the coveted 2010 Motor Trend’s Sport/Utility of the Year Award. It has a great body-style, created for function, strength and class. With 170 horsepower, the Outback is fitted for family or the single person with a more active life style. The price continues to be reasonable for a small SUV, 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, power moon roof, heated front seats and a backup rear-vision camera.
Mid-range models by Subaru are the Liberty and Forester, also highly ranked for safety by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Most Subaru’s have an impressive engine life and a strong resale value. Buying a used Subaru that has passed an inspection is still a good investment.
The symmetrical All-Wheel Drive feature is standard across the Subaru line. Instead of having to engage 4-Wheel Drive, each tire moves when you’re driving. This includes turning, giving the Subaru uncomparable turning radius and traction.
It s also a little different from you may be used to, which is why some Subaru dealers actually offer defensive driving courses. They are intended to teach new Subaru owners how to handle the AWD, as well as various defensive 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.
