The 2014 Subaru Impreza Premium Sedan
With so much uncertainty in the modern world, college students are constantly overwhelmed by companies who want their hard-earned and limited cash.

Most parents are looking for the safest, most reliable cars on the market while also avoiding bankruptcy; peace of mind is hard to come by in this process. Thankfully, Subaru has given the consumer that same peace of mind with the 2014 Subaru Impreza. Consumer Reports gave this vehicle high marks in the most important categories: safety, fuel economy, and overall value. Worried parents and college students alike need not fear any longer because the Subaru Impreza is the rugged, yet refined, answer to all of their most pressing questions.
Consumer Reports is held in the highest regard when it comes to their testing integrity, and the results of their automobile tests are as close to doing it yourself as you can find. Every year, the magazine buys cars anonymously and brings them to their testing center in Connecticut to put the vehicles through their paces, and judges them on their performance. A large portion of their testing is performed with innovative new technologies, while others are judged by a panel of independent industry experts. After nearly 50 tests and thousands of miles being driven in each vehicle, their unbiased findings are then released to the public. Some of the most important factors to consider when buying a vehicle are reliability, safety, economy, and overall value. To better understand how each of these data points is quantified and pre...

...t marks in the compact car division. Clearly, the Impreza is a true winner across the board, even when it is crushed by 16,000 pounds of force.
The 2014 Subaru Impreza offers not only peace of mind, but the knowledge that you truly have the best equipped piece of technology for the value that the auto industry can provide. Standard all-wheel drive, solid fuel economy, stellar safety scores, rugged design, and engine power are just some of the assets that the Impreza boasts in the new model year. Lastly, at a sticker price of roughly $21,000, it is an option that parents and students alike cannot afford to overlook. Once the Impreza is yours it vaunts a sublime long term cost-to-own, and depreciates at a tiny rate. The years may pass, miles may add up, and memories may fade, but the Impreza will be a reliable, valuable force on the roads for a long time to come.
In conclusion, from the early 1950's and 1960's there has been two cars that have taken the American people by storm, the Chevrolet Camaro and the Ford Mustang. Both rivals have tried from day one to out do and out perform each other to bet the first to develop an affordable sports car that handles and performs like a $90,000 dollar muscle car. Each in its own right have established itself on the car market place with such creations by Ford for its 590-HP Super Stallion and Chevrolet for its 600-HP Big Block Camaro. The Camaro and Mustang have been looked at as the "First true American sports cars." They are arguably the two most rivaled sports cars of yesteryear and today. "The Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang are quintessential American pony cars and as such, continue to fight the good fight over which is best" (

In the 21st century, there are too many vehicles on the highway and most people drive a vehicle all around the world. According to Tencer, ‘’The global number of cars exceeded 1.015 billion in 2010, jumping from 980 million the year before’’ (2013). If a person is thinking about driving a vehicle, there are two options that can bring different experiences. SUVs are 4x4, strong, big, and more dangerous than sedans. While, sedans are fast, small, and the more popular choice. Driving a SUV and sedan are different in terms of safety, power and comfortable.
For students in particular, cars are very often an essential means of transport, and so, like most things, it is important for a student to get the best deal for their car. However, insurance companies and car dealers are very much aware of the student situation and have classified certain cars as ‘student cars’, and to clarify this, include cars from Peugeot (106, 306), Renault (Clio), Citroen (Saxo), and Vauxhall (Nova) to name but a few. Now it seems that these cars all have relatively low engine sizes, commonly ranging from 900-1800cc, and are all placed in relatively low insurance groups (and therefore have lower insurance costs), but this may not be the case for all cars, especially those with larger engine sizes. This investigation will examine data from a range of cars, varying in both engine size and insurance group, and if a positive correlation is found between insurance group and engine size, then the concept of ‘student cars’ will not be such a worrying factor when a student goes to buy his first car, however if there is no correlation then it is entirely possible that insurance companies are charging too much for cars in the ‘student car’ category.
Subaru has always tried to bill themselves as pet friendly. Many of their commercials feature dogs, and the back of their wagons and SUVs are supposedly ideal for ferrying forth furry friends. Recently, they took a step beyond ads, and took the initiative to go beyond what any other automaker has done for pets. Subaru and the Center for Pet Safety have gone out and actually tested pet carriers and crates in crash scenarios.
In an unpredictable market customer perception is often the most viable source of information. It is difficult to directly benchmark the CAR prototype against other market offerings and therefore a value based approach could provide a better understanding of the price ceiling. Andy and Marc point out that value-informed pricing techniques are superior for products with a high relative advantage. With the current climate debate heating up, the CAR’s zero harmful emissions and low fuel costs boost its competitive advantage over petrol based cars. Yet risk per se cannot simply be av...

There are many different automobile companies providing buyers with many styles of cars, trucks, SUVs, and motorcycles. Toronto Star January 14, 2005 present ways to approach the automotive buying process. There are many different surveys, crash reports, and rating systems comparing different companies and their vehicles. Things you should look for when reading these published articles are who conducted the study? Who paid for it? Who gains from it? Who loses?

Some prove their products are safer then the competition where the competition has been proven time and time again to make that survey seem inaccurate.
I think that the target audience for these cars is the same. these cars are family cars. Both of the cars are designed to be comfortable and safe, they are not advertised to be fast sports cars. or stylish city cars; they are advertised as normal cars. In both of the adverts there is no real reference towards the performance of the car apart from in the Chrysler where there is a reference to the fuel.
After all the Honda Civic ranks as the best selling compact car in America. Why wouldn't it be? Being affordable, reliable, durable, safe, economical, compact and sporty, with low insurance rates, and not to mention achieving great gas mileage makes this car the best. This car has everything I look for when buying a new car and more.

One of the very first things a buyer should consider when looking for a car is what kind of car he/she wants. Many different factors can affect the car buying process. For one, the buyer must consider how big of a vehicle he/she wants and safety features like airbags, seatbelts, and working brakes. Itemizing a list of accessories can also help narrow down what kind of car to buy. While some people might prefer a Sedan with a large back seat and seat warmers, others may prefer an extreme luxury car with full stereo systems and miniature televisions. Every person has different tastes in accessories; luckily, there is a vehicle that can fit almost every personality.

Once you have passed your test buying a car can also prove expensive. It is often the case we have to buy cheap second hand cars as new cars are very expensive.
