Dealership Events

On the off chance that you haven't already heard, we're now just one day away from the 2013 New York International Auto Show, folks. Oh yes, there's lots to get excited about, and if we could bear to leave our new and used cars for a week and head on over to the Big Apple, we'd do it in a heartbeat. Alas, it just wouldn't be right. But that's okay, because we here at Fred Beans Subaru still need time to process everything that happened at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show.

The folks at Cars.com spend countless hours behind the wheel testing out nearly every vehicle brand on the market, including all new Subaru models available at Fred Beans Subaru. While the entire lineup receives favorable reviews, one model scored so well the editors of the popular website called it one of the Best of 2013.

Which model is it? The Subaru BRZ sports car.

When you think about it, Cars.com probably had a pretty easy choice. That's because the BRZ is a front-engine, rear-wheel drive vehicle, and features a direct- and port-injected BOXER engine. That alone distinguishes…

It's never too early to gear up for the 2014 and the new Subaru models set to arrive at Fred Beans Subaru. Today, we'd like to highlight the Subaru Forester. The 2014 edition was recently priced, and we'd like to share that information those of you in the greater Doylestown area.

Available in four different trims, the 2014 Forester will start at $21,995 MSRP for base models. If you move all the way to the top and the Forester Premium trim, it's $27,995 MSRP.

Standard across the entire Forester lineup is Symmetrical AWD, along…

The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas each January is a great way for the auto industry to show off new vehicle technology. For Subaru, it was a chance to debut a feature that will be a central part of the new Subaru lineup here at Fred Beans Subaru: Starlink infotainment.

With its first-ever branded onboard system designed to keep you connected with many different applications, Subaru Starlink uses Aha. This versatile serivce allows for drivers to listen to loads of different content like podcasts, streaming radio, music from Slaker Radio and Rhapsody via a Harman stereo system.

In addition…

If you're in the market for a new crossover, Fred Beans Subaru, proudly serving the greater Philadelphia area, highly suggests checking out the 2013 Subaru XV CRosstrek. Built with both safety and comfort in mind, it features Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, as well as standard heated front seats.

Of course, you'd expect a new Subaru dealership to talk up the latest model in its showroom. That's why you're welcome to explore the XV Crosstrek for yourself. And to help you do exactly that in the comfort of your own home, Subaru has released a new app…

Subaru has just barely finished unveiling the 2014 Forester at the Los Angeles Auto Show, and it's already winning awards. To be more specific, the European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP) got their hands on the redesigned crossover for testing, and it has awarded it the highest rating possible: five stars.

This comes as no shock to anyone at Fred Beans Subaru. Subaru shows a focus on safety that's paralleled by very few competing automakers. In fact, it's the only automaker to have every model in its lineup earn an IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety…

There are a number of reasons drivers from the greater Philadelphia area like you choose a new Subaru when it's time to consider a new car. The one we here at Fred Beans Subaru here the most: Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Designed to provide the maximum traction possible on the road, it's standard on every model Subaru offers (with the exception of the BRZ, which is a rear-wheel drive model).

In other words, drivers…

We here at Fred Beans Subaru, serving the greater Philadelphia area, will admit it: we were a bit skeptical upon hearing that a rear-wheel drive coupe was being added to the new Subaru lineup. For years, Subaru has been known for offering standard all-wheel drive, so we weren't sure what to think about a break in such a steady convention.

The end result, however, has been out of this world. Specifically, the 2013 Subaru BRZ has been a huge hit with both drivers and professional critics alike. In fact, it's been so well received that Subaru is now…

2012 marks the fourth year Subaru is hosting its popular "Share the Love" event in which they donate funds to buyers' and leasees' choice of five charities over a specific period of time. It also marks the second year in a row that the Japanese automotive company has invited Facebook fans to nominate two of the five charities.

After tallying upwards of 200,000 online votes submitted over just three weeks, Subaru has added the final two charities to consumers' list of options for 2012. Joining the ASPCA (advocates against animal cruelty), Make-A-Wish (supports children with life-threatening medical conditions) and…

Men's magazine Esquire typically focuses on style, politics, entertainment, food and yes women. Another thing they focus on: cars. No, they might not be your Edmunds or your Kelley Blue Book. And thank goodness for that. While we love the editors at both of those places; it's nice to occasionally hear the voice of critics who review cars from an everyman, consumer vantage point. So, when Esquire recently released their 2012 auto awards, we were sure to take a gander. And, we're glad we did. Do you know why? The all-new 2013 Subaru BRZ was named "Best…
