2012 Impreza Will Be a Favorite With Subaru Shoppers in Tallahassee

The Impreza is the 2012 IIHS Top Safety Pick! Subaru shoppers in Tallahassee should head to Proctor Subaru to check it out!

Subaru of America released a press release detailing the announcement of the 2012 Impreza at the IIHS Top Safety Pick: “Subaru of America, Inc. today announced that for the third consecutive year, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has recognized it as the only manufacturer with a 2012 TOP SAFETY PICK winner for all models. The all-new 36 mpg 2012 Impreza, the most fuel-efficient all-wheel drive vehicle in America, was awarded in the “Small Car” category.”

That’s a big award to win for any auto manufacturer. There are a lot of points to consider when buying a car from color to CD player but safety is always on top of the list. This isn’t a first for Subaru, though. Tom Doll, executive vice president and COO of Subaru of America, Inc. said : “To be able to include the redesigned 2012 Impreza to the list is an outstanding success and a tribute to the engineering that goes into our products. The IIHS reinforces to our customers that Subaru maintains the highest standards to produce vehicles that are fun-to- drive, durable, reliable as well as safe.”

Subaru Shoppers From Tallahassee Can Trust IIHS Ratings

The IIHS’s tests for rating cars are no pony show. The frontal crashworthiness evaluation is based on a 40 mph frontal offset crash test. Side evaluations are based on performance in a crash test in which the side of a vehicle is struck by a barrier (representative of the front end of a pickup or SUV) moving at 31 mph. Rear crash protection is rated in a two-step procedure which includes head restraint height and a rear end collisions at 20 mph. The roof strength test consists of a vehicle’s success at withstanding a crushing force of 4 times its weight.

The IIHS tests cars based on how accidents can occur in real life. That is why an IIHS safety rating is so important. Subaru shoppers in Tallahassee should know if the car they are buying can stand against real life accident scenarios. With its clinching of the IIHS Top Safety Pick, the Impreza is surely a good buy for 2012.

The folks at Subaru are clearly concerned with the safety of their cars. Subaru shoppers from Tallahassee should be too. The 2012 Impreza is more than just a safe haven though. It’s got all of the comfort and convenience features that shoppers look for in a 2012 model and much more that they didn’t know should be included!
