Some Love from Edmunds for the Subaru Forester

Edmunds.com recently gave the 2016 Subaru Forester a 4.5 (out of 5) star rating.  Edmunds found the Forester to be at the top of the small SUV class in many areas.

 

Safety- Not surprisingly, safety is a strength of the Forester.  Subaru has long been known for their safe vehicles, and the Forester is no exception.  The governments NHTSA gives the Forester their highest (5 star) rating.

 

Another feature the Forester offers that you don't find in most of the others in this class is standard All-Wheel Drive.  Also a staple of Subaru over the years, the standard AWD definitely provides value compared to the competition.

 

New for 2016 is the 6.2-inch touchscreen with Subaru's Starlink technology interface, smartphone app integration and a four-speaker sound system with HD radio, a CD player, an auxiliary audio jack and a USB port.  Touchscreen "infotainment" is becoming more and more standard across the industry, and Subaru has kept pace nicely here.  As is common with Subaru style, though, they have provided this without going overboard with gadgetry. 

 

Through September, there are some great lease and financing specials on new Forester models.  Call us at (877) 510-2814 or visit us at Gurley Leep Subaru for a test drive today.  

5 Great Reasons to Buy a Subaru Impreza

AutoTrader.com comes away noticeably impressed with the 2016 Subaru Impreza- and we couldn't agree more.  The editors list the following as five of the best reason to own a new Impreza.

1.  Standard All-Wheel Drive- Standard AWD is a staple of the Subaru line, and the Impreza is no different.  AutoTrader makes a great point in challenging shoppers to find another AWD compact for under $20,000.

2.  Well-Appointed Cabin-  The Impreza offers an excellent array of standard interior features, including  rearview camera, Bluetooth and a large touchscreen interface.

3.  Spacious Seating-  At 43.5 inches, the Impreza offers up to two more inches of driver leg room than others in the category, and Subaru didn't skimp on the cargo space to accomplish this.  There is 22.5 cubic feet of cargo space with all seats in place, and a huge 52.4 cubic feet total.  The rear seat drivers were thought of as well, as Autotrader notes:  "There's ample headroom all around, and you can easily fit a couple 6-footers in back."

4.  Excellent Fuel Economy-  Subaru's standard 2.0 liter flat-4 cylinder engine rates an excellent 25/34 mpg.  With a 14.5 gallon fuel tank, you should be able to run 400 miles or more on a full tank. 

5.  Ride and Handling-  "The Impreza takes bumps in stride, and there's none of the harshness you expect in an economy car. We like the sporty steering response, too."
