The Subaru Impreza is the least expensive model Subaru makes, and it still packs a punch. It was awarded a 5-star ANCAP safety rating, and have 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 economical as well, making 27 MPG on the highway and still costing below $25,000 brand new.
The Subaru Outback won 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 SUV, at just over $40,000.
The top of the line Tribeca is the luxury SUV by Subaru. 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.
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 unmatched 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 designed to tutor new Subaru owners how to handle the AWD, as well as various defensive driving techniques. Customers that attend the advanced driving courses find that they become better familiarised with their new vehicles and wind up enjoying them more.
