Enjoy the Stability of All-Wheel-Drive with a Subaru
January 25th, 2010Subaru are great looking and powerful line of vehicles with the extraordinary distinction of offering All-Wheel Drive on every car. Some dealerships even provide an defensive driving course for new owners.
The least expensive model Subaru makes is the Subaru Impreza, 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 seatbelt restraints specifically planned to protect toddlers in the backseat. The car is economical as well, making 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. The Outback is suitable for family or the single person, with a fantastic body-style, 170 engine HP and created for function. It is one of the most affordable small SUV, at just over $40,000.
The top of the line Tribeca is the luxury SUV by Subaru. 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.
In between these models 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 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 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 designed to tutor new Subaru owners how to comprehend the AWD, as well as various advanced driving techniques. Customers that attend the defensive driving courses find that they become better acquainted with their new vehicles and end up enjoying them more.
