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. In such a confusing environment, it is often difficult to make the correct decision when it comes to important investments, like deciding which car to buy when you go off to college. 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.

...yers every year. The American public is not going to pay for something of standard quality and performance when they can get a better and less expensive car that out performs the higher priced one. "The bottom line clearly reveals that from this group of long time nemesis, the Camaro once again emerges as offering the most bang for the buck" (Bartlett 30 - 38).
They have taken America by storm. Defined as “rugged automotive vehicles similar to a station wagon but built on a light truck chassis” (Gurlanik 723), Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) have taken over the roads. The automobile industry is full of them and nearly every automaker has its own version of the vehicle. Drivers like the roominess, the comfort and the status they provide and SUVs are springing up across suburbs and cities like mushrooms (Davidson 1). Americans are in love with the luxuries involved with SUVs: the 4x4 capabilities, being able to sit higher on the road and the sense of control.
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.
The issue of whether customers should buy FWD and RWD cars is complex and controversial. Different people hold different ideas due to their drive experience and consumers attitudes.

However, most of customers are blind and ignorant on it. Many of them don’t even know the automobile layout of their sedan after use it for decades.

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.

There are many different automobile companies providing buyers with many styles of cars, trucks, SUVs, and motorcycles.

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.

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...
With convenience comes cost. There are many costs associated with owning a car. Firstly learning to drive can be prohibitive, with lessons often out of a lot of peoples budgets. 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. Sometimes this is fine and you can have a reliable car, but other times you pick one up that’s not been well maintained and can cost you a fortune in repairs and keeping it on the road.
