Subaru Ownsership
Congratulations! You’ve decided to give your West Bloomfield, Novi, and Farmington, MI, travels a well-deserved upgrade with a Subaru vehicle. Whether you’re preparing to take the wheel of your first Subaru or you’re ready to upgrade the model you’ve had for the past decade, you’ll want to learn more about what it’s like to drive a versatile and comfortable Subaru.
That’s why the team at LaFontaine Subaru has created this Subaru ownership guide. Read on to learn more.
When you drive a Subaru, you can go nearly anywhere, regardless of the road type, thanks to Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD), which is standard on nearly all Subaru models.
This advanced system constantly monitors road conditions and other driving conditions, such as acceleration and braking. When needed, this system can automatically adjust how much power is sent to the four wheels. This helps you tackle low-friction surfaces in addition to providing the extra support needed to conquer tight turns.
Many Subaru models also come with X-MODE®, a feature that works to enhance the AWD capabilities of the model. Some vehicles, like the Subaru Crosstrek, allow you to select terrain types, like deep snow, dirt, and mud, when equipped with the optional dual-function X-MODE® upgrade.
Life is busy, and there are lots of distractions you encounter every day. The addition of EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology helps provide an extra layer of confidence thanks to its advanced monitoring capabilities.
Cameras and sensors constantly monitor a range around your Subaru and alert you of potential hazards, like other vehicles and pedestrians, when detected. Some systems may take the monitoring aspect one step further and provide mild autonomous capabilities when certain conditions are met.
Systems included with EyeSight® are:
- Pre-Collision Braking
- Pre-Collision Throttle Management
- Lane Keep Assist
- Adaptive Cruise Control
EyeSight® is offered on nearly all Subaru models. Some systems may come with an optional upgrade.
Did you know that 96% of Subaru vehicles sold over the past decade are still on the road? This is thanks to Subaru’s commitment to quality. This means that you and your new model can go on countless adventures and make a lifetime of memories together.
On top of its durable build, you’re sure to love the impressive warranty coverage that comes with Subaru ownership:
- 3-year/36,000-mile New Car Limited Warranty
- 5-year/60,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty
- 3-year/36,000-mile Wear Item Limited Warranty
- 5-year/unlimited mile Rust Perforation Limited Warranty
If you choose to drive one of the hybrid models, your vehicle will likely also come with an additional HEV Battery and Performance Warranty. The Subaru Solterra, the first all-electric SUV from Subaru, also included an 8-year/100,000-mile Electrification Warranty.
Subaru is no stranger to community support. Over the past 15 years, they’ve donated more than $250 million to various charities. Your purchase of a Subaru comes with a corporate donation to your choice of four national charities or one of the several thousand local charities, like:
- ASPCA®
- Make-A-Wish®
- Meals on Wheels®
- National Parks Foundation™
In addition to the many perks that come with owning a Subaru, Subaru ownership also means you give back to the community.
