The Subaru 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.. It is one of the most affordable small sports utility vehicle, 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 luxury finish you would anticipate in a higher-end vehicle: leather, power moon roof, 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. Most Subaru’s have an impressive engine life and a great resale value. 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.

Customers that attend the defensive driving courses discover that they become better familiarized with their new vehicles and wind up enjoying them more.
