Many of you already know how great Subarus are around here, because many of you own them already. We have had 7 consecutive record breaking sales months as a National Brand and have had two record breaking sales years here at Saint J Subaru as well! If you are just starting the research stage of buying a new car, we are glad you found this blog post!

Subaru earned Kelley Blue Book’s Best Resale Value Brand for the second year in a row! They also earned that award in four vehicle segments! The 2016 Subaru WRX was named Best Resale Value in the Sporty Compact Car segment as well as the Top 10 segment of that award along with the 2016 Subaru Forester. The 2016 Subaru Impreza earns Best Resale Value in the Compact Car segment and the 2016 Legacy won it for the Mid-Size Car segment.

Kelley Blue Book’s Best Resale Value Awards recognize 2016 model-year vehicles for their projected retain value through the initial five-year ownership period. Since depreciation is typically a car-buyers primary expense during ownership, these awards are designed to help consumers make more informed car-buying decisions.

The 2016 ALG Residual Value Awards had a very strong Subaru presence this year also.  Subaru took home the award of the Best Overall Mainstream Brand as well as five individual vehicle category wins.  The Subaru WRX won “Best Sports Car”. The Legacy won “Best Midsize Car” .  The Outback won “Best Midsize Utility”.   The Crosstrek won “Best Compact Car” and the Forester won the “Best Compact Utility” Award.  

ALG is the analytics division of TruCar Inc.  The ALG awards have become the industry benchmark for projecting future vehicle values and depreciation.  The residual awards are given to vehicles that have been projected to retain the highest percentage of their original price, after a conventional 3-year period.

If you ask us, Subaru is the best, but we might be a little biased.  But it’s hard to fight with the experts.
