Think Safety, Purchase a Subaru

January 24th, 2010

Subaru are good looking and powerful line of vehicles with the different distinction of offering All-Wheel Drive on every car. Some dealers even offer an advanced driving course for new owners.

The least expensive model Subaru makes is the Subaru Impreza, and it still packs a punch. With a five-star crash safety rating, and have both driver and passenger airbags, as well as side curtain airbags and lower seat belt restraints specifically planned to protect kids in the backseat. The car is also economical, getting 27 MPG on the highway and still costing below $25,000 brand-new.

The Outback received the coveted 2010 Motor Trend’s Sport/Utility of the Year Award. It has a great body-style, made for function, strength and class. With 170 horsepower, the Outback is suitable for family or the single person with a more active life style. 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, sunroof, heated front seats and a backup rear-vision camera.

Medium-sized models by Subaru are the Liberty and Forester, also highly rated 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 All-Wheel Drive feature is special to the Subaru line. 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.

It s also a little different from 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 embrace the AWD, as well as various defensive driving techniques. Customers that attend the advanced driving courses find that they become better familiarized with their new vehicles and wind up enjoying them more.
