Subaru WRX and WRX STI earn IIHS 2014 Top Safety Pick

The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety has announced that the all new 2015 WRX and WRX STI have earned the Top Safety Pick award for good performance in all of their crash tests including the small overlap front test. Subaru also has six other models that have earned 2014 safety awards from IIHS - three with Top Safety Pick and three more with Top Safety Pick+ designations, including the Legacy and Outback models. Subaru has more IIHS Top Safety Picks than any other brand.

Not only is the 2015 WRX STI super-safe but super-sporty. In the most recent issue of Motor Trend, the all-new 2015 STI Launch Edition went toe-to-toe with two German contenders, the Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG and the BMW M235i, and won. Motor Trend writers dubbed it "Loud, fast, surefooted, and amenity-packed - it typifies fun."

Premier Subaru now has several of the brand new 2015 WRX trims, including the STI Launch Edition exclusively in the World Rally Blue with the gold BBS alloy wheels and blue trim throughout the interior!

Pre-owned Specials

Premier Subaru in Branford is ranked #3 in the United States through April, 2014 in sales of Certified Pre-owned Vehicles, so let's highlight a couple of their newest additions!
Premier Subaru always prides themselves in a full supply of Subaru of America Factory Program Cars. These cars were hand-picked by management and brought to us from the West Coast. One example is this fine 2013 Legacy 2.5i Premium. Only 15,000 miles on it, so it qualifies for the Certified 7 year, 100,000 mile warranty, plus financing as low as 0.99%. And at a price like this, this vehicle and others like it won't be around for long.

2013 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Premium

Customer's Corner

Notes from Happy Customers! Here are some reviews from Dealerrater.com - you can view others here and here.

I began looking for Foresters in December of 2013 and was able to drive a used Forester away by May 2014. I found that the employees of Premier are extremely knowledgeable, very detail oriented, and always happy to help. Though the website is not always as up to date as it could be, speaking with a Sales Rep about their current stock of cars is just as convenient. I trust the dealership and know that I would definitely be able to bring the car back or call a representative if something were to go wrong. Overall, the experience was convenient, quick, and helpful. I'd recommend the dealership to anyone looking for a new or used Subaru.

Kia had a very friendly staff that was willing to please.  Mike Iovino was my salesman and stayed on top of things all through out the sale.  I would definitely recommend this dealership or anyone looking to buy a new or used vehicle
