Subaru

Subaru is a Japanese automaker that's earned a reputation for solid, reliable transportation in the decades since the company came to the United States. Subaru was one of the first automakers to widely adopt features like turbocharging and all-wheel drive, the latter of which is standard on nearly all of Subaru's new models. The company's vehicles are not known for being particularly premium or luxurious, but there's a reason vehicles such as the Forester crossover SUV and the WRX performance sedan have such loyal followings, especially in areas where all-wheel drive is a boon for your daily commute. All of Subaru's models come well equipped with standard safety features and driver aids. In addition to the Forester, Subaru also sells the small Crosstrek, midsize Outback and three-row Ascent. All four SUVs have above-average off-road capability. And while other automakers have ditched anything that's not an SUV or pickup, Subaru still has the Impreza hatchback and engaging BRZ sport coupe. If you're looking for solid transportation with lots of features at a competitive price, Subaru likely has you covered.
