Subaru Features and Specs
Good looking and powerful, these are the features of Subaru line of vehicles with the particular distinction of offering All-Wheel Drive on every vehicle. Selected dealerships also offer an advanced driving course for new owners.
The Impreza is the least expensive model Subaru produces, and it still packs a punch. It is one of the safest cars in the market with a 5-star ANCAP safety rating. Equipped with both driver and passenger airbags, as well as side curtain airbags and lower seatbelt restraints especially planned to protect toddlers in the backseat. The car is also cheap to run, getting 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 family or the single person, with a great body-style, 170 engine HP and created for function. The price remains to be reasonable for a small SUV, at just over $40,000.
At the top of the Subaru line, in terms of price and luxury, is the Tribeca. Prices for this SUV starts at $68,000 and you’re treated to the luxury finish you would anticipate in a higher-end vehicle: leather, sunroof, 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. 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 uncomparable turning radius and grip.
This unique feature is a little different from what you may be used to, which is why some Subaru dealers actually offer defensive driving courses. They are designed to teach new Subaru owners how to embrace the AWD, as well as various advanced driving techniques. Customers that attend the defensive driving courses discover that they become better acquainted with their new vehicles and end up enjoying them more.
