Subaru

Subaru is the brand for buyers who actually use their car for the things brochures only hint at – gravel roads, ski trips, towing the boat. All-wheel drive comes standard across the range, and combined with the brand's reputation for safety, it's why so many Australian families come back for their second and third Subaru. The SUV lineup covers everything from a compact daily driver to a touring family wagon, and there's still a properly engaging performance car in the range. If your weekends include any unsealed road, Subaru should be near the top of your test-drive list.
