What does Parents Magazine say about Subarus as family cars?
Parents Magazine is one of the top-read magazines for families, so when they tout four of Subaru’s vehicles as being top family car picks, that’s news to bank on. When your family is off on a fun-filled road trip, Subaru Ascent, with its third-row seat and room for eight is the unsurpassed family vehicle for mud or anything else the elements can throw at it. If you don’t need a third row, the best family car that’s also great for road trips is the Subaru Forester. This family vehicle has two sets of latches for car seats, extra fans and extra leg room for both human and animal kids. When it comes to compact SUVs, Parents Magazine says the Subaru’s Crosstrek Hybrid with two latch systems cannot be topped by any other make or model. Is your family one that needs all-wheel drive and lots of horsepowers, but good gas mileage at a great price? According to Parent’s Magazine, the top of the line is the Subaru Legacy, one of the most reliable family cars on the market.
What is the most reliable family vehicle?
When it comes to reliability, the 2022 Subaru Forester is the number one ranked compact SUV, according to Consumer Reports. The Subaru Forester outranked the Hyundai Tucson, Toyota RAV4 Prime, and Honda CR-V. Your family is the most precious cargo a vehicle can carry, and you need a reliable family car that is reasonably priced and going to get you where you need to be without breaking down for serious repairs. The dependable and consistent Subaru Forester, available at Rafferty Subaru, will do just that.

Driving a vehicle engineered with safety in mind makes Subaru an ideal family car.
