Think Safety, Buy a Subaru
Subaru are reliable and powerful line of cars with symmetrical All-Wheel Drive as standard on all models. Some dealerships even offer an defensive driving course for new owners.
Affordable yet powerful, the Subaru Impreza still packs a punch. 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 designed to protect children in the backseat. The car is also economical, running 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. The Outback is suitable for families with a more active life-style, it has a fantastic 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 sets out at $68,000 and you’re treated to the polish you would expect in a higher-end vehicle: leather, 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 a good 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 unmatched 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 designed to tutor new Subaru owners how to comprehend 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.
