{January 20, 2010}   Think Safety, Think Subaru

Great looking and powerful, these are the features of Subaru line of cars with the extraordinary distinction of offering All-Wheel Drive on every car. Selected dealerships also have an advanced driving course for new owners.

The least expensive yet powerful model Subaru makes is the Impreza. It was awarded a 5-star crash safety rating, and have both driver and passenger airbags, as well as side curtain airbags and lower seatbelt restraints especially designed to protect children in the backseat. The car is also economical, getting 27 MPG on the highway and still costing under $25,000 brand new.

The Outback received 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 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 luxury finish you would expect in a higher-end vehicle: leather seats, 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. It should be noted 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 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.

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 intended to teach new Subaru owners how to handle 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.
