What Makes Used Subaru Vehicles So Reliable?

Due to their affordability, a used vehicle can be a smart purchase if you get the right one. Luckily, used Subaru models are known for their quality and reliability, so they’re always a great pick. Kirby Subaru of Ventura outlines what makes them so reliable.

Intelligent Engineering

The brilliant engineering that goes into Subaru vehicles is a huge factor in their longevity. The SUBARU BOXER® engines that you’ll find in many used models, for example, are configured to reduce vibration and lower the center of gravity. This can minimize strain and protect your vehicle. Most recent Subaru models also come standard with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive®, which further limits strain on your vehicle by enhancing traction when it’s needed most.

Tried and True Methods

Subaru vehicles consistently earn top safety honors from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), underscoring their reputation for reliability on the road. Multiple Subaru models such as the Subaru Outback, Subaru Forester, and Subaru Crosstrek have been named an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ when equipped with available front crash prevention and specific headlights—one of the highest safety designations a vehicle can achieve.

High Maintenance Standards

Even reliable Subaru vehicles can’t stand up against neglect, however. Subaru manufacturers set strict maintenance standards for every vehicle, which are carefully outlined in the owner’s manual. You can also review a vehicle’s history report to see how the previous owner(s) cared for it before making a purchase.
