Subaru Models Awarded Four "Top Picks" from Kiplinger's Personal Finance

We are proud to announce that, Kiplinger's Personal Finance recognized three Subaru vehicles for excellence in four areas:
  • The Forester 2.5XT Premium AWD was designated "best in class" for small crossovers
  • The Outback 2.5 Limited won "best in class" and "best resale" in the wagons category
  • The Impreza WRX AWD four door was named "best resale" in the $25,000 to $30,000 category.
Kiplinger's evaluates "best in class" winners on performance, value and safety.  "Best resale" winners were selected using the Kelley Blue Book's estimated trade in price.

Kiplinger's notes that the Forester - also recognized by the publication in 2009 as the "best new crossover" - boasts "agile handling, high resale values and loads of cargo space."  The Forester, like all other Subaru models, is also a 2011 IIHS Top Safety Pick.

2011 is the second year the the Outback was awarded "best in class".  In addition to "stylish design, strong resale values and heaps of utility", the publication calls the 2.5 liter four-cylinder engine "powerful without pushing down fuel economy".

Kiplinger's also explains that the "turbocharged version of the Impreza boosts the three year resale value from the base models 51% to 55% - and bumps up horsepower by 95 horses to 265 horses.  That's a feat a few in this category can achieve with only four cylinders."
