Reasons you Should have a Subaru
1. Horizontally Opposed Boxer Engine - Flat is Beautiful
The Subaru Boxer engine sits
at the heart of every Subaru vehicle. The intelligent engineering
behind Subaru's Boxer engine provides the get-up and go you expect from a
Subaru, and provides plenty of power for Subaru's symmetrical AWD system. The flat laying engine design provides the perfect combination of balance, power and efficiency.
Besides the occupants, the most important piece of your vehicle is
under the hood. While other competitors may focus on rear-seat DVD players
and 11 cupholders, at Subaru's main goal is for your driving experience
and safety.
NOTE: The boxer engine name comes from the way the pistons move. In most cars, pistons move up and down. In the boxer engine, the pistons move horizontally, like a boxer punching.
Boxer Engine Advantages vs. Inline and V-type Engines
You want a smooth ride with long lasting dependability. The Subaru Boxer engines' unique design provides less vibration.Each horizontally opposed piston cancels the vibration of the opposite piston.
Besides Subaru, only Porsche uses the unique Boxer engine style to maximize power and stability. It's no wonder why V-Type and Inline engines in Toyota, Honda, Ford and Nissan don't compare to the Subaru Boxer.
2. Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
All-wheel drive (AWD) is not a unique concept, but symmetrical all-wheel drive is. Unlike most AWD systems that are adapted from 2-wheel drive, Subaru's symmetrical AWD starts out as all-wheel drive. Power for the symmetrical AWD system comes directly from Subaru's Boxer engine, which gives adequate power to each wheel, continuously, to prevent slippage in any road condition. Competitors often say, "We have all-wheel drive, just like Subaru." Don't let their misinformed salespeople or their part-time AWD systems or fancy names like Intuitive AWD (Nissan), Intelligent 4WD (Ford), On-Demand 4WD (Toyota) or Real Time 4WD (Honda) fool you. Only Subaru's symmetrical AWD system is always on to protect you and your family when you need it most.
NOTE: Torque
steer is created when the front drive shafts are of unequal length.
During heavy acceleration the steering may pull to one side, which can
be disturbing to the driver causing them to fight for control.
3. Subaru Advanced Safety Engineering
Subaru was named the ONLY automaker with IIHS Top Safety Picks for All Models - FIVE YEARS IN A ROW (2010 - 2015)! People think of safety as the ability to survive an accident. But, the best way to survive an accident is to avoid having one in the first place. Subaru's are equipped with a broad range of safety features and systems to protect you.
