Think Safety, Think Subaru
Subaru are great looking and powerful line of cars with the unique distinction of offering All-Wheel Drive on every vehicle. Selected dealers also offer 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 especially planned to protect toddlers in the backseat. The car is economical as well, getting 27 MPG on the freeeway and still costing under $25,000 brand new.
The Subaru Outback received the coveted 2010 Motor Trend’s Sport/Utility of the Year Award. The Outback is suitable for families with a more active lifestyle, it has a great body-style, created for function, strength and class.. 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 starts at $68,000 and you’re treated to the finish you would anticipate in a higher-end vehicle: leather seats, power moon roof, heated front seats and a backup rear-vision camera.
Medium-sized models by Subaru are the Liberty and Forester, also highly ranked for safety by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It should be mentioned 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.
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 traction.
This unique feature is a little different from what 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 embrace the AWD, as well as various defensive driving techniques. Customers that attend the defensive driving courses discover that they become better familiarised with their new vehicles and wind up enjoying them more.
