Enjoy the Power of All-Wheel-Drive with a Subaru
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010Subaru are reliable and powerful line of cars with symmetrical All-Wheel Drive as standard on all models. Some dealers even provide an defensive driving course for new owners.
The Impreza is the least expensive model Subaru makes, and it still packs a punch. It is one of the safest cars in the market with a 5-star crash safety rating. Fitted with both driver and passenger airbags, as well as side curtain airbags and lower seat belt restraints especially designed to protect toddlers in the backseat. The car is also cheap to run, running 27 MPG on the freeeway 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 life-style, 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 begins at $68,000 and you’re treated to the finish you would expect in a higher-end vehicle: leather, sunroof, 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. 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 uncomparable turning radius and traction.
It s also a little different from you may be used to, which is why some Subaru dealers actually offer defensive driving courses. They are designed to instruct new Subaru owners how to embrace the AWD, as well as various defensive driving techniques. Customers that attend the advanced driving courses discover that they become better familiarized with their new vehicles and wind up enjoying them more.
