Subaru are dependable and powerful line of cars with symmetrical All-Wheel Drive as standard on all models. Some dealers even have an advanced driving course for new owners.

The least expensive yet powerful model Subaru makes is the Impreza. 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 planned to protect toddlers in the backseat. The car is also economical, running 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 family or the single person, with a great body-style, 170 engine HP and created for function. The price continues to be reasonable for a small sports utility vehicle, 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 polish you would expect in a higher-end vehicle: leather seats, power moon roof, 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. An advantage 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.

All Subaru cars have the All-Wheel Drive feature as standard. 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.

This feature is a little different from what you may be used to, which is why some Subaru dealerships actually offer defensive driving courses. They are intended to instruct new Subaru owners how to handle the AWD, as well as various advanced driving techniques. Customers that attend the advanced driving courses discover that they become better acquainted with their new vehicles and wind up enjoying them more.
