Looking for a Great SUV Alternative? The 2014 Subaru Outback

After 20 years on the market, the Subaru Outback continues to get better and better!  The Outback is a great alternative to the SUV with its 30 mpg on the highway.  Each year, new features are added and the 2014 model now features the comfort of heated seats—perfect for those cold winter days. The 2014 Subaru Outback is also much larger than the original Outback and makes a great family car. It handles well on all road surfaces so you can get around in all types of conditions, from dirt trails or muddy country roads to snowy roads. Every Subaru model comes standard with all-wheel drive and ground clearance of  8.7 inches that’ll get you around most obstacles. It’s definitely one of the most capable crossovers off-road!

The Outback can also carry all your gear in its generous 71 cubic feet of maximum cargo space.  It gets great fuel economy, too, with the four-cylinder engine rated at 30 mpg on the highway. If you have hauling needs, the Outback can tow a small trailer with the optional six-cylinder engine, up to 3,000 pounds. A standard roof rack with built-in cross rails that easily fold out of the way when not needed, will also help with your cargo needs.

Every #2014SubaruOutback comes standard with four-wheel antilock disc brakes, stability and traction control, front seat side airbags and side curtain airbags that cover both rows. Several safety features are available, such as adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking and lane departure warning functionality. You will be alerted if you’re swaying within your lane while traveling on the highway. Subaru’s EyeSight system can also detect pedestrians and will brake automatically if the driver takes no corrective action.

In government crash tests, the Subaru Outback earned a five-star overall rating, along with five-star ratings for its performance in front- and side-impact crash protection. In the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s testing, the Outback received the highest Top Safety Pick+ rating after earning a Good rating (the highest possible) in the moderate-overlap front-offset crash test, as well as the side-impact and roof strength tests. It also earned an Acceptable rating (second highest) in the new small-overlap frontal-offset crash test.

What to Look for in a Family Car

Reliability, safety, economy and handling are some of the parameters that you have to take into consideration while looking for a family car. Sometimes you have to take into account your personal preferences as well, like the ease with which you can install the seat or the cargo space area. Depending on these parameters, you can go for an SUV or a minivan or a mid/large-sized sedan. SUVs are sturdy, attractive, spacious, responsive, and powerful. It is an ideal choice for hauling trailers. The driver seats are usually placed high, for the convenience of short drivers, as well as for an all-around visibility. It can handle a number of terrains as well. When it comes to safety, nothing beats an SUV. However, SUVs usually consume a lot of gas.

Minivans used to be the ultimate family vehicle before SUVs were introduced. As of now, minivans have lost their family appeal, however, a few car companies are trying to bring it back with improved features. The best thing about a minivan when compared to an SUV, is that their center of gravity is lower than that of an SUV. This means, in a crash, minivans are less likely to roll over. A sedan is affordable and has a large trunk space. It is very easy to handle as well. If you have children, then it will be much easier to handle them in a sedan rather than in a minivan or an SUV. You can also opt for a station wagon as well, in terms of affordability.
