Subaru Outback Wins Second Consecutive AutoPacific Ideal Vehicle Award

Late last month, AutoPacific released the results of its 2016 Ideal Vehicles Awards, and here at North Reading Subaru, we were proud to see that Subaru's vehicles swept the crossover segment! The annual awards are based on the results of survey responses from owners of new vehicles after 90 days of ownership. According to the press release, the national survey of 15 questions received responses from over 65,000 owners. Respondents recommended changes to their car or truck in five key areas including ride and handling, interior storage, safety features, power and acceleration, and technology.

Leading the way was the Outback, which earned the title of Best-in-Class Premium Mid-Size Crossover SUV for the second year in a row. Sporting a modernized wagon aesthetic, Outback stays true to its heritage by delivering ample room for both passengers and cargo, making it ideal for adventure seekers and their friends in North Reading, Boston, Belmont, Lawrence, and Medford. Forester and Crosstrek helped complete the sweep by taking the top spots in the Mid-Size Crossover and Compact Crossover segments respectively.

“We are extremely proud to receive these three distinguished 2016 AutoPacific Ideal Vehicle Awards because they represent the voice of our customers,” said Thomas J. Doll, president and chief operating officer, Subaru of America, Inc. “This recognition is a testament to our commitment to providing top quality vehicles with safety, reliability, durability, and comfort in mind.”
