Do You Agree? Subaru Is The Best Car Money Can Buy

By the usual measurements, Subaru should be no more than an afterthought in the U.S. car market. It sells just seven car and crossover models and accounts for a slim 2.3% of U.S. auto sales. By itself, the Toyota Camry outsells the entire Subaru lineup. For years Subaru has been essentially a regional brand -- strong in the Northeast and Northwest but unknown in the rest of the country.

No overnight success, Subaru of America -- the U.S. arm of Japan's Fuji Heavy Industries -- began selling cars in the U.S. 44 years ago and still ranks only 12th in size. Hyundai and Kia, which arrived two decades later, have developed broader product lines and sell several times more vehicles.

The best money can buy - no. The best value for the money - perhaps yes.

Its hard to argue with inexpensive, reliable, durable, economical, AWD and available manual trannys.

I can't think of another manufacturer that offers that entire list in one or more cars.

The Best Money can buy probably not, but Best for your money then i would have to say yes. The newer Subaru's are made with better quality materials, panels fit better, they are pretty safe and most models come with AWD something they have an advantage over other makes/models in the price range.

Scooby-doos have a faithful following, are unpretentious (other than the Impreza WRX) and just do well as all-around cars. The Aussies down-under like them. They are a great value for anyone who has mixed dirt road/highway and snow driving.

And then there is the BRZ, the car for everyone young at heart.

The BRZ, Impreza STi & Legacy tS are very nice cars, reliable and they look good to.
Forester is more practical, it doesn't have to be "beautiful".

Subarus lean toward function over form. Road trips over Ego trips (unless you have the WRX or STI). Any weather as long as the water does not get too high. Snow capable and decent fuel economy for the rest of the year.
Great cars, not for everyone.

For only a thousand or so more, a much finer comparable Acura can be purchased.

Not if you have lots of money, no.

Subaru owners tend to be financially conservative, don't tend to buy flashy things or show-off their cars. Good credit scores.
