Cars

Let’s start off by taking a look at the cars that managed to bring home awards. In the Compact Car category, the 2023 Subaru Impreza managed to snag the award this year. In addition, in the Sports Car segment, the Subaru BRZ managed to bring home the award for the second year in a row. These are both incredibly competitive segments, so we’re stoked to be able to say that they have low costs over the first five years of ownership.

Crossovers

Subaru crossovers have been doing even better than its cars in this annual set of awards. For starters, the iconic Subaru Outback earned the award in the Midsize SUV – 2-row segment not just for 2023, but for the third year in a row. The same can be said for the 2023 Subaru Ascent in the Midsize SUV – 3-row segment. Trumping both of those, however, is the legendary Subaru Forester in the Compact SUV segment. 2023 makes it four years in a row for the compact Forester crossover.
