It’s no secret that a pre-owned vehicle can be a great investment. After all, you won’t have to worry about the immediate depreciation that happens when you drive a new vehicle off the lot. And, if you choose the right model, you can enjoy years of dependability and performance.
You need a vehicle that will stand up to whatever your lifestyle brings. Whether you’re a daily commuter, a weekend warrior, or both, you need a vehicle that’s as versatile as you are.
While there’s no shortage of vehicle makes and models to choose from, you can never go wrong with a Subaru. What makes these vehicles so great? Let’s take a look!
Safety
The Subaru brand consistently earns Top Safety Pick ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). From protective systems like airbags and rollover sensors to innovative safety features like Subaru EyeSight technology, the brand always puts safety at the forefront.
Many Subaru vehicles have Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC), which analyzes steering and braking inputs to help keep your vehicle on the right path. The SUBARU STARLINK service also helps keep drivers safe with features like roadside assistance, emergency assistance, and automatic collision notification.
Durability
Few vehicles are as durable and reliable as a Subaru. In fact, 96 percent of Subarus sold in the past 10 years are still on the road today. With proper maintenance, there’s no reason you shouldn’t expect to get as many as 300,000 miles out of your previously owned Subaru.
Versatility
Whether you’re looking for a family-friendly vehicle to bring the kids to and from sporting events and playdates or you want a vehicle you can take on off-road adventures, you’ll find the perfect fit in a Subaru. With options including sedans, sports sedans, SUVs, and hatchbacks, you’ll have no problem finding the right Subaru to fit your lifestyle.
Performance
The patented SUBARU BOXER ENGINE® is specifically designed to deliver maximum power to the drivetrain which results in better handling and efficiency. The Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive system also delivers power evenly to all four tires to improve vehicle response time and ensure your vehicle maintains traction when it matters most. No matter what kind of weather or driving conditions you’re faced with, you can have the confidence of knowing your Subaru can handle it with ease.
Value
Subaru models are consistently recognized on Kelley Blue Book’s Best Resale Value lists. This honor is awarded to the vehicles that retain the greatest amount of the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP). The winning vehicles retain their values better than 95 percent of other vehicles on the market.
Subaru was named Best Overall Brand for Resale Value in 2011, 2015, 2016, and 2020. The brand was also recognized as having the “Lowest 5-Year Cost to Own” numbers in both 2019 and 2020. This takes into account costs like insurance, fuel economy, and depreciation.
Customer Loyalty
One of the best ways to find a great vehicle is to take a look at what other people are buying. Customer loyalty is also a compelling factor. If a vehicle owner keeps a car for at least three years and then buys the same brand again, this is an excellent indication of a positive user experience.
According to J.D. Power and Associates, Subaru is the number one brand for customer loyalty with 61.5 percent of Subaru owners returning to purchase a vehicle of the same brand.
