Subaru Legacy Earns 2011 Ideal Vehicle Award

Sept. 28, 2011 - PRLog -- The Subaru Legacy has won several awards, including earning a 2011 IIHS Top Safety Pick and a 2011 Residual Value Award. But perhaps the most important honor the Subaru Legacy has earned is a 2011 Ideal Vehicle Award, which reveals which vehicles most closely match their owner’s desires.

According to automotive research and consulting firm AutoPacific, the 2011 Subaru Legacy the top-rated midsize car by its owners when it comes to matching what they want.

“Everyone has had the experience of wanting to change something after you’ve bought it and experienced it for a while. This is especially true of vehicles,” says AutoPacific President George Peterson. “This research recognizes the vehicles that owners want to change the least.”

2011 Ideal Vehicle Awards

To come up with their 2011 Ideal Vehicle Award winners, AutoPacific poured over more than 72,000 consumer surveys. To determine the winners, owners rated their new car or truck on how close it came to “ideal” in 15 different categories ranging from power and acceleration to safety features and storage. The vehicles that customers said they would change the least were considered the most “ideal.”

“It’s getting harder and harder to measure quality differences in today’s vehicles,” says Peterson. “Consumers need better insights into which vehicles will meet their ideal for comfort, ride and handling, cargo space, and other attributes that are experienced on a daily basis. IVA winners deliver the most of what consumers are really looking for in their vehicles. Shoppers can use the IVAs as a benchmark for vehicles that are designed and built with customers in mind.”
