One of the biggest concerns most car shoppers have when buying a car is its reliability. Subaru is always one of the first manufacturers that come to mind concerning the safety and reliability of vehicles. So the question arises: Why are Subarus reliable and why are Subarus safe?
Reasons Why Subarus Are Reliable:
1. Subarus are the
perfect combination of 4x4 truck power and smaller car size. The
all-wheel-drive system and in many models you get a higher ground clearance
than an average car, so it gives a person a lot of options, what I like is you
can drive on paved roads, logging roads, you can go a long ways in the snow,
you can usually get to work on any given day no matter how much snow there’s on
the ground.
2. As far as repairs, Subarus require very little repair and
maintenance is quite minimal. The major components such as engine transmission,
four-wheel drive system, and differentials are super reliable, the new
electronics are even reliable. It is
good to think of the Subaru as a 200,000 plus mile vehicle. The key to
achieving this is routine maintenance. If this is done, well you’re going to
easily get 200,000 miles plus out of it without a lot of major expense.
3. Subaru finds itself in a market sweet spot that produces outsize profits because, like an NFL receiver, it has learned how to work the seams. In the overcrowded midsize segment, for instance, Subaru sidesteps heavyweights like Camry, Accord, and Altima by equipping the Legacy with all-wheel drive (AWD), which the others don’t offer. Subarus can dodge expensive incentives because its cars are in short supply and its relatively affluent buyers are less sensitive to promotions.
Why are Subarus Safe?
1. Subarus have advanced or superior rating for front crash
prevention, as well as good ratings in the driver-side small overlap front,
side, roof strength, and head restraint tests. It gives drivers ultimate
control over their ride. It encompasses a number of systems that help drivers
avoid crashes. Using two strategically placed cameras, located near the
rearview mirror, the EyeSight System.
2. Subarus have
available crash avoidance and prevention safety features that are on the Subaru
EyeSight package.
3. Where the EyeSight system is like having a co-pilot at
the front of the car, the Subaru Rear Vehicle Detection system is like having
eyes in the back of your head.
4. Subaru offers drivers many traditional safety features,
such as airbags. Plus, they've started putting the STARLINK system in more
recent models.
