Drive a Subaru Today
Subaru are dependable and powerful line of cars with symmetrical All-Wheel Drive as standard on all models. Some dealers even have an defensive driving course for new owners.
Affordable yet powerful, the Subaru Impreza still packs a punch. It was awarded a five-star ANCAP safety rating, and have both driver and passenger air bags, as well as side curtain airbags and lower seatbelt restraints specifically designed to protect kids in the backseat. The car is also cheap to run, making 27 MPG on the freeeway 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 lifestyle, it has a fantastic body-style, created for function, strength and class.. The price remains 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.
Mid-range models by Subaru are the Liberty and Forester, also highly ranked for safety by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. An advantage of owning a Subaru is its strong 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 unrivalled turning radius and traction.
This feature is a little different from what you may be used to, which is why some Subaru dealers actually offer advanced driving courses. They are designed to teach new Subaru owners how to handle the AWD, as well as various defensive driving techniques. Customers that attend the defensive driving courses discover that they become better familiarized with their new vehicles and wind up enjoying them more.
