The Secret is Out: Subaru is the #1 Car Brand

It will come as no surprise to Subaru drivers, but Consumer Reports recently named Subaru as the top car brand in the United States. This announcement puts Subaru above the luxury automakers like BMW that previously held the top honors. Subaru earned this recognition by engineering vehicles that are safe, reliable, and versatile. The top car brand fits perfectly with the needs of Central Texas drivers around Waco, Hewitt, and Gatesville, and it’s easy to explore the Subaru lineup at Douglass Subaru in Waco, TX.

Reliable & Safe

Subaru is known for building reliable and safe vehicles, and many vehicles like the Outback, Forester, and Crosstrek have earned top honors from testing agencies like the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The #1 ranking comes from road tests, owner satisfaction, safety features, and reliability scores. Features like the EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive give Waco drivers peace of mind on daily commutes, outdoor adventures, and family road trips.

Practicality that Reflects Texas Values

Consumer Reports evaluators know that drivers value practicality and comfort rather than over-engineering and flash. The Subaru lineup includes vehicles with balanced driving dynamics, so they expertly handle a variety of road conditions. Every vehicle in the Subaru lineup is built to last, which is why over 96% of Subaru vehicles built in the last ten years are still on the road today*.

Central Texas drivers need a vehicle that can handle the occasional storm or transport drivers to their next outdoor adventure. The Subaru lineup does it all with fewer maintenance needs and at a more accessible price point than the luxury European brands.

The Subaru brand is dedicated to practical design, environmental consciousness, pet care, and community involvement. The Subaru Love Promise aligns with the values of the people in Central Texas who care about their communities, families, pets, and environment.

Long-Term Value and Affordable Ownership

The luxury vehicles that once held the top Consumer Reports position come with high maintenance costs, premium fuel needs, and expensive sticker prices. The Subaru lineup is known for affordable upkeep and fuel efficiency, which matter for budget-conscious drivers around Waco who still want innovative technology, all-wheel drive, and capable vehicles.
