Subaru safety confirmed by insurance stats
- Low number of insurance claims by Subaru drivers challenge misplaced stereotypes
- Stats reflect the active safety of the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system in other Subaru models
Independent findings released today about car insurance claims show that drivers of the Subaru Impreza make fewer at-fault claims per 1,000 owners than any other model of car. In addition there are low levels of claims for Subaru generally, according to the research from leading comparison website MoneySupermarket.com.
In response to the report about Subaru drivers being the safest on the road, Subaru UK managing director Paul Tunnicliffe has said that he is "very much less surprised than everyone else seems to be."
Tunnicliffe commented: "We know from first-hand experience that many Subaru owners really care about their cars, seeing them as loyal and indispensable friends, and all Subaru's protect their owners and occupants with both symmetrical All-wheel drive and active safety technologies. The Subaru Impreza, Legacy, XV and Forester are all fitted as standard with Subaru's unique All Wheel Drive system, with great road holding benefits."
The research carried out by the popular consumer site was based on nearly 13.5 million quotes over the past 12 months, and "at fault" claims made in the last five years.
