If there's any car manufacturer you can bet on to get the bang for your buck, it's Subaru. Several car reviews have been echoing the reliability and value of the vehicles, which have also passed with flying colors after being tested by prestigious safety awards in the U.S.

Torque News reporter Denis Flierl gives a few more reasons that would encourage you to get a Subaru for yourself. Going up against more than 40 rival brands, Subaru emerged as the most recommended in the U.K., while in the U.S., the brand is recognized as being one of the most reliable:

 

Subaru is the most recommended automaker in the UK's National Car Awards beating Porsche and even highly rated Skoda. Subaru is in the pole position in the "recommended by owners" category and outstrips every other automaker when it comes to owner recommendations.

With such low sales in recent years this figure alone is testament to Subaru longevity and reliability. Here in the U.S., Consumer Reports compiled a list of the top ten cars most likely to go 200,000 miles and two Subarus made the top ten list. The 2015 Subaru Legacy sedan and 2014 Subaru Outback wagon. Subarus are known to go this many miles and more, and one thing you'll notice about their owners, is how long they hang on to them. Like a badge of honor, they watch the odometer to see it roll over the 100,000 mile and then 200,000 mile marks and beyond.

Aside from being optimally safe, they are versatile, long-lasting, even stylish and fun-to-drive. Dealerships that offer a Subaru near Baton Rouge can attest how sought-after these vehicles are, so they always keep their inventory updated and complete. You might think that the quality of Subaru cars translates to hefty price tags, but in reality, they're more affordable (typically below $30,000-40,000 new) than other brands.

If buying brand new may be too pricey, you can still drive a new Subaru at the least costs through a lease. Usually, you would need to pay just a couple of thousand dollars upfront and around 300 bucks every month. With contracts lasting around 3 years, leasing would also be a more plausible option if you want to get a new car every few years, too.

Established Baton Rouge Subaru dealers and those nearby, such as Baldwin Subaru in Covington, can provide expert assistance and help you decide which sedan, SUV, or crossover fits your needs. They can also guide you on navigating lease deals, so you can determine which ones you can afford and what cautions you have to take to keep the lease costs in check.
