Why Buy a Subaru?

For over 30 years Subaru has been building a brand that's never lost the courage of its convictions in an increasingly cookie-cutter world. We haven't followed the pack, we've blazed our own trail, winning over drivers and families one at a time.  The secret?
1. The best all-wheel-drive (AWD) system in the world! 
2. The safest lineup of sedans (4-doors), SUVs and sport wagons (5-doors) available, bar none.
3. Power and performance of the horizontally opposed Subaru Boxer engine making every trip behind the wheel a fun adventure.

...plus, we have made great efforts to listen to our customers and deliver value-packed vehicles that stand out in the crowd.

Of course, there is also a very distinct feeling that comes from driving a Subaru - and this may be the most compelling reason of all to buy one. Our drivers experience an unsurpassed level of confidence and enjoyment behind the wheel because we believe that true driving pleasure can only be realized when you have peace of mind every time you turn the key.

"The boxer engine - so called because its pistons jab back and forth on a flat plane like an in-his-prime Sugar Ray Leonard - has been a Subaru staple since it was introduced in one-litre-form in 1966. Which means Subaru has stuck with this unconventional - by mainstream auto industry standards - design for almost half a century now, convinced that both its mechanical and marketing benefits remain worthwhile." - Bob English, Globe & Mail
