At one point, a car that reached the six-figure mileage mark was virtually unheard of. While a car lasting to 100,000 miles was once a rarity, many cars on the road today will last 200,000 miles or more with proper care. While advances in technology, engineering, and an overall improvement in part quality are largely responsible for cars getting more mileage today, proper care on the owner's part still plays a crucial role in determining a vehicle's longevity.

2 Millionth Forester Just Sold

The two millionth Forester sold in the U.S. just reminded everyone that the Forester is something extraordinary in the world of compact SUVs. It seats 5 people, giving them a spacious, well-organized environment to enjoy its more luxury qualities. While the Forester is the second best selling SUV Subaru makes in the United States, it's Subaru's number one SUV around the globe. 

Subaru is well-known for its capable all-wheel-drive vehicles like the Outback and Forester. However, the Japanese automaker has also carved a name for itself with performance models. Available now in the current Subaru lineup is the WRX and WRX STI. The WRX made its performance name outside of North America before finally becoming available in the U.S. and Canada in 2002.

While it’s fun to drive around in high-powered luxury vehicles, these aren’t always the best options when you need something for daily driving. A sensible vehicle is what most consumers are requesting from manufacturers. Subaru has a lineup of practical vehicles that are affordable and reliable for all demographics. The Outback has been one of their most popular models since 1996. There are a few different trim levels that are part of the most recent Outback model. Let’s compare some of them to find out what will work best for you.

The Adventurous Subaru

Subaru is a Top Adventure Brand for several reasons, one of which is the fact that Subaru is a well-made, spacious vehicle with a quiet and smooth ride. An impressive 97% of Subaru vehicles that were sold in the last ten years remain on the road today. Not only is it reliable, but the Subaru is safe. Every model of Subaru is an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) top winner. Also, with all the trims in its lineup offering standard all-wheel drive, Subaru provides drivers who venture off the road much confidence.

Spacious and Capable

If there's one car model that can hold its own against luxury brands and still maintain practicality, it has to be the Subaru. For years, the Forester has been one of the best selling crossover SUVs in the American market. Subarus are affordable and very versatile. The SUVs are spacious and capable of carrying lots of luggage even with the last row seats still up. However, the question remains, which Subaru has the most cargo space?

As a vehicle brand that puts the safety of its drivers first, Subaru has included many different safety and convenience features into their standard packages. One such feature that is included in the majority of the Subaru lineup this year is reverse automatic braking. This development in safety can be used to protect you and others around you when you are behind the wheel. It is likely that your vehicle will have a few blind spots. That doesn’t mean you and others around you have to be at risk. 

Automotive engines on the current market are available in several common designs. Nearly all four-cylinder engines have an inline layout. Most six-cylinder and eight-cylinder engines have V-shaped configurations. Subaru prefers to use a horizontally opposed assembly under the hood. Since the 1960s, the patented Boxer engine has been installed in nearly all of the company's cars. Throughout the decades, this auto manufacturer has made significant improvements in the performance of this unique powertrain.
