Buying a Subaru could be one of the best moves you'll make this year, particularly if it's a vehicle that just arrived in the showroom. If you fancied an SUV, the "reward" could get even better as there are models to be had for a really good price. An article by Denis Flierl for Torque News states that this is especially true for the Forester, whose sticker value usually does not drop heavily a year after it hits the market.
Citing data from the NADA Used Car Guide's recent vehicle retention report on revised or all-new units, Flierl gauged the potential of the 2014 Forester against other competitors for the 2014 model year. Analyses of the Forester 2.5i Premium showed that it retained 81.8% of its MSRP after a year. This earned for the car the second top spot in the Guide's Top 20 resale listing against the Toyota Highlander LE (78.8%), Toyota 4Runner SR5 (77.1%), and Nissan Rogue S (73.1%) - with the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe 1LT leading the pack at 84.7%.
This may be enough to entice Louisiana residents to check out the new Forester on show at one of the dealerships offering Subaru around New Orleans. Given the bayou's rather unforgiving nature, it pays to have a vehicle that could handle any rough environment while keeping its occupants safe. The specs of the latest Forester units also deserve a second look.
The 2014 redesign, for example, boasts of a roomier interior with split-folding seats, and a multifunction display linked to the EyeSight® crash prevention system. The Forester Premium model brings comfort and safety to a higher level with heated seats, a rearview camera, and a ten-speaker HarmanKardon® audio system. Loyal Subaru drivers and auto experts also approve of the crossover's high ground clearance, clear visibility, large cargo volume, and raw capability to negotiate off-road conditions.
If you're the kind of motorist who loves a challenge on and off the road, and wants a good car that's fun to drive, safe to ride in and easy on the wallet, Covington and New Orleans Subaru dealerships, such as Baldwin Subaru, has new Subaru specials that are ripe for the picking. Get your choice of any Subaru 2014 model and drive one now.
