Three Subaru Models Earn Nod as Best Bets

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

Cars.com has come out with their “Best Bet” cars to help guide shoppers in making vehicle buying choices. Apparently, the final selection included three models from Subaru. The models were:

  • 2009 Subaru Impreza
  • Subaru Impreza WRX STI
  • Subaru Forester

According to Cars.com, the two Subaru Imprezas are each a “Best Bet for Sports Cars,” and the Subaru Forester has been recognized as a “Best Bet for SUVs and Crossovers.” To qualify as a Cars.com Best Bet, models must meet three quantified criteria: a “Good” rating in Insurance Institute for Highway Safety frontal-offset and side-impact crash tests; average or higher reliability ratings; and average or higher gas mileage within their class.

“We are proud to accept these awards from Cars.com,” said Tom Doll, COO and executive vice president of Subaru of America, Inc. “The editors who have named the Subaru Impreza and Forester ‘Best Bets’ evaluate scores of vehicles, so this recognition comes from true automotive experts. The Forester and Impreza models offer safety, reliability and performance — and are fun to drive.”
