According to The Car Connection, Don Miller Subaru West happily declares the Subaru Legacy, Forester, and Outback as some of the safest vehicles for teenagers and inexperienced drivers. In this article, we'll discuss what makes these vehicles the safety-machines they are. Let's dig in.
How Subaru Made the List
There are specific qualifications that earn a vehicle a spot on The Car Connection safety list. If a vehicle does not meet even one of these criteria, it cannot make the safety list. The qualifications are:
- According to The Car Connection member surveys, a vehicle's reliability rating must be average or better.
- The headlights need to have at least an "acceptable" rating.
- The vehicle must not weigh too much or too little. By weighing too much, a vehicle might be too difficult for a new driver to control, but weighing too little can be hazardous in the event of an accident.
- The nonprofit organization, Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), performs crash tests on all new vehicles. The Subaru models in this list must have "good" ratings in all six crash tests.
- Lastly, The IIHS creates two lists each year: Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick+. The vehicle must be on one of these lists.
The Subaru Legacy, Forester, and Outback met all of these qualifications.
Safety Meets Style
If you remember your first car, most likely the first thing you'll remember is its appearance. Rest-assured that the Subaru brand does not sacrifice style for safety: Subaru has it all.
The Subaru Legacy is a great choice for those who want a sporty-looking sedan. The Legacy comes equipped with a lane departure warning and fully automatic headlights. For Madison drivers looking for an SUV or crossover, the Subaru Forester or Subaru Outback would both be great options. These vehicles come with navigation systems, backup cameras, and auto-dimming rearview mirrors. Check out our new inventory for a more detailed look into these models.
