What’s so special about this Special Edition? Lots! This brilliant Quartz Silver Metallic model has the All-Weather Package with heated front seats, mirrors 
and front wipers, plus a power driver’s seat, alloy wheels and fog lights. All that’s nice, but at its core it’s an Outback, and that means it’s been designed for outstanding safety. This model received 5 Stars – the highest rating – from the federal government for driver frontal impact, front-passenger frontal impact, driver side-impact and rear-passenger side-impact. That’s impressive. Besides the expected airbags (SRS) and anti-lock disc brakes, this Outback also has stability control a
nd traction control, and anti-whiplash front head restraints. But of course you want to know what it’s going to be 
like in day-to-day driving. The answer? Fantastic! With its low-center-of-gravity Boxer 4 engine, electronically controlled automatic transmission, Symmetrical AWD and long-travel suspension, this Outback has traveled 54,834 miles, and it’s ready for plenty more. There’s a standard trip computer and outside temperature gauge to keep you informed, and a tilt/telescopic steering wheel so you 
can get comfy in the black cloth-upholstered driver’s seat. Plus, it has all the utility that you’d expect of an Outback, including a cargo-swallowing interior. Here’s a great way to get a well-equipped Outback for thousands less than a new one. Call Belinda at 1-877-842-4996 to adopt this Subaru (car #4324).

Barely Used ‘09 Subaru Impreza 2.5i Premium — $15,998
Thursday, January 21st, 2010
Ten thousand miles is just getting “broken in” for a Subaru. That’s why this ’09 Impreza, with just 10,300 miles on the odometer, is such a value. It’s the Premium model, so that means it’s loaded with th
e kind of conveniences that make the miles glide by. A power moonroof brings light to the interior, alloy wheels add pizzazz and foglights help show you the way on foggy nights. There are even steering-wheel controls for the AM/FM/six-CD changer stereo. There’s plenty of room in the front and back, and 
the rear seatback 
folds down – great for carrying long, bulky items, like skis, in the trunk. And don’t forget that this is a Subaru! For the price of an ordinary Civic or Corolla you can get an All-Wheel-Drive Impreza that will laugh at the weather. This Impreza has a Newport Blue Pearl exterior finish with a beautifully contrasting beige cloth interior. You’ve got to see it in person!

Agile, Economical 2007 Honda CR-V EX 4WD — $18,462
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010
The Honda CR-V has a great reputation, and this 2007 model looks just like the new ones. A 166-horsepower 2.4-liter engine powers all four wheels via a five-speed electronic automatic transmission. It’s the “EX” model, so it has standard goodies beyond the usual Honda fare. Outside, there are alloy wheels and bright trimwork. Inside: Steering-wheel controls for the audio system, and a six-disc CD changer. Blending the inside with the outside is a power moonroof to let the light shine in. If 
you’re used to the previous-generation CR-V, you’ll be surprised at how much smoother and more refined this new-for-2007 model is. This Glacier Blue Metallic Honda is equipped with All-Wheel Drive and electronic stability control and traction control, so you’ll be well equipped to handle Mother Nature’s outbursts. Of course it also has air conditioning and a nice six-speaker stereo with CD changer and MP3 input jack. A neat feature in the back is the foldable and 
removable cargo cover, which gives you two levels of cargo storage. The EPA rated this vehicle at 22/28 mpg, so you can expect typical Honda fuel mileage. This CR-V has covered 54,800 miles, so it’s been around the block a few times. Now it’s your turn to enjoy its virtues.

Five Reasons Why Subarus Are The Best Cold-Weather Vehicles
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010
New or used, Subaru vehicles are ideally suited to cold-weather driving. Here’s why:
- Every Subaru model comes standard with the traction, safety and control of Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. It’s engineered into the vehicle rather than added on, and that means cold-weather driving and bad road conditions are taken in stride. This is so important, we could almost list Symmetrical AWD as reasons
1 through 5! - Every Subaru vehicle is powered by an aluminum-alloy Boxer engine that warms up quickly. Not only does it get into its most efficient operating mode, but it also provides heat for you and your passengers after just a few minutes of driving. That’s comfort you can feel.
- Many Subaru models come with an All-Weather Package that includes heated front seats, heated exterior mirrors and a windshield wiper de-icer. And that means greater comfort and visibility when the frost is on the pumpkin.
- All Subaru vehicles except high-performance WRX and WRX STI models come standard with all-season/mud+snow radial tires. These tires have been tested under severe driving conditions to deliver high traction for both stopping and going in the rain, slush and snow.
- Subaru has a well-deserved reputation for reliability and dependability, as well as the highest safety ratings. That’s always important, but even more so when the weather turns cold and icy – you don’t want to experience a problem along the side of the road at the worst possible time. You can drive with confidence behind the wheel of a Subaru.
Add it all up, and it’s easy to see that Subaru really does make the best all-weather vehicles. Visit Evergreen Subaru and you’ll find a wide selection of new and used Subaru models that can make your cold-weather driving more comfortable and more satisfying.
New Car or Used Car: Which Is Right For You?
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010Can’t decide between new or used? Here’s what to consider.
Buying New
Plus
Warranty: Every new car comes with a warranty that covers just about every widget in the vehicle. - History: You know who’s driving it – you! – and how well it will be maintained.
- Reputation: New cars are sold by dealers who have a long-term reputation to uphold.
Minus
- Expense: There’s no way around it – new cars cost more than used cars. How much do you want to spend?
Used Cars
Plus
- Expense: You can spend a lot less money and get a reliable and fun-to-drive car. That’s the biggest appeal of a used car – high value!
- Warranty: Some used cars come with a limited warranty.
Minus
- History: You can’t be certain how the car was driven or how well it’s been maintained. However, there are ways to weed out undesirable vehicles.
- Reputation: Some used-car sellers are less than reputable. Others are golden.
- Uncertainty: It may have a limited warranty, but how good is the warranty and who backs it up?
Here’s how to increase your odds of getting a quality used car:
- Buy from a reputable new-car dealer, who has more at stake than a used-car dealer.
- Get as much vehicle history as you can, including a CARFAX report or similar information about any previous accidents. While that’s no guarantee of carefree driving, it can help you avoid a “troubled” car.
- Find out more about any used-car warranty: Who underwrites the warranty, how long has that company been in business, what really happens if there’s a malfunction? Knowledge is power, and the more you know the better.
To increase your odds of getting a reliable used car – or a great deal on a new car – contact Evergreen Subaru at 207-786-8500.
