Enjoy the Power of All-Wheel-Drive with a Subaru
Friday, January 22nd, 2010Subaru are great looking and powerful line of vehicles with the unique distinction of offering All-Wheel Drive on every vehicle. Some dealerships even have an advanced driving course for new owners.
Inexpensive yet powerful, the Subaru Impreza still packs a punch. It is one of the safest cars in the market with a five-star crash safety rating. Equipped with both driver and passenger airbags, as well as side curtain airbags and lower seatbelt restraints specifically designed to protect kids in the backseat. The car is economical as well, running 27 MPG on the freeeway and still costing below $25,000 brand new.
The Subaru Outback won 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 horsepower and created for function. The price remains to be reasonable for a small SUV, 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 begins at $68,000 and you’re treated to the polish you would anticipate in a higher-end vehicle: leather seats, 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 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 unmatched 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 teach new Subaru owners how to embrace the AWD, as well as various defensive 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.
