Think Safety, Think Subaru
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010Good looking and powerful, these are the features of Subaru line of vehicles with the special distinction of offering All-Wheel Drive on every car. Selected dealerships also have an advanced driving course for new owners.
The Subaru Impreza is the least expensive model Subaru makes, and it still packs a punch. With a 5-star ANCAP safety rating, and have both driver and passenger air bags, as well as side curtain airbags and lower seat belt restraints especially planned to protect children in the backseat. The car is also economical, running 27 MPG on the freeeway and still costing under $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 remains 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 luxury finish you would expect in a higher-end vehicle: leather, 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. A benefit of owning a Subaru is its great 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 grip.
It s also a little different from 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 handle the AWD, as well as various advanced driving techniques. Customers that attend the advanced driving courses find that they become better familiarised with their new vehicles and end up enjoying them more.
