Why Subaru is the Smartest Choice for Teen Drivers

Why Subaru is the Smartest Choice for Teen Drivers

Choosing a first car for your teenager is a big decision. Safety, reliability, and affordability all play a vital role in making the right choice. At Napleton’s Schaumburg Subaru, we believe that Subaru vehicles are the smartest choice for teen drivers, and here's why.

1. Industry-Leading Safety Ratings

When it comes to protecting new drivers, safety is non-negotiable. Subaru consistently earns top marks from trusted sources like the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Many Subaru models—such as the Impreza, Crosstrek, and Forester—come standard with EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, which includes:

  • Adaptive Cruise Control

  • Pre-Collision Braking

  • Lane Departure and Sway Warning

These features help reduce the risk of accidents and provide peace of mind for parents.

2. All-Wheel Drive Confidence, Standard

Every Subaru (except the BRZ) comes standard with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, giving teen drivers better handling and traction in all weather conditions. Whether it's rainy roads in the spring or snowy winters in Schaumburg, Subaru vehicles help teens stay in control.

3. Affordable Ownership Costs

Subaru’s reputation for long-lasting reliability makes it a smart financial choice. With low maintenance costs, strong resale value, and excellent fuel efficiency, Subaru offers a low total cost of ownership—something every parent will appreciate.

At Napleton’s Schaumburg Subaru, we also offer affordable financing and lease options tailored to first-time buyers and young drivers.

4. Built to Last

According to Subaru, 96% of Subaru vehicles sold in the last 10 years are still on the road today. This kind of durability means your teen’s first car could also be their car through college and beyond.

5. Tech-Savy and Teen-Friendly

Modern teens expect tech in their vehicles, and Subaru delivers. Popular models include features like:

  • Apple CarPlay® & Android Auto™

  • Bluetooth® Connectivity

  • Rear Vision Camera

  • Vehicle Dynamics Control

These features keep your teen connected while encouraging safer driving habits.
