Subaru owners are very discerning. They have high standards when it comes to safety and reliability, so they want a vehicle that has attractive styling, better fuel economy, and go-anywhere versatility. If these qualities describe you as well, then there's no question what vehicle brand you're looking for.
Subaru is the only automaker to achieve Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Picks for All Models for two straight years (2010 and 2011), but the accolades doesn't stop there. Recently, Subaru models Forester, Legacy, and Outback-which are available from authorized
New Orleans area Subaru dealers near you-aced the latest and more stringent IIHS crash test. Autoblog.com provides more info on how these models earned the prestige:
"The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety announced its more rigorous standards for the Top Safety Pick+ crash test rating back in September, and has recently called out some new models that have attained this highest rating. Last year, the TSP+ category was created for vehicles passing the then-new small overlap crash test; this year the top award has been amended to include crash prevention technology.
Thanks to its EyeSight technology, the Subaru Legacy, Outback and Forester are among just 22 vehicles to have been named a 2014 TSP+ by the IIHS. Without this technology, all three vehicles - and the Impreza and XV Crosstrek - were still named a Top Safety Pick (without the +).
To be named a TSP+, a car must achieve at least a Basic score for crash prevention, but all three Subaru models earned a perfect score to receive a Superior rating."
All of Subaru's models come with a wide range of safety systems and features designed to keep you safe. These innovations not only help a driver avoid an accident (active safety features), they also help vehicle occupants to survive one (passive safety features). These and more are what makes Subarus the definitive vehicles to own.
Nine out of 10 Subarus sold in the last 10 years are still on the road. This attests to the car manufacturer's commitment to exceptional engineering and outstanding safety. Visit
New Orleans, LA area Subaru dealers and experience the thrill of driving one of their vehicles today.
