2010 Mazda3 4-Door (33 MPG HWY) starting at $16,045

In this economy, gas mileage is just one thing on everyone’s mind when they purchase a car. Smart purchases mean resale down the road which is why we are proud that the Mazda3 has won the ALG 2010 Residual Value Award. When you buy this car you are guaranteed it will retain a higher percentage of its original price than any of its competitors after a three-year-period. Also, did we forget to mention that the price for this car is only $16,045 to begin with? It’s the stress free car buyer’s dream come true.


2010 Dodge Caliber (31 MPG HWY) starting at $17,090

The Caliber’s got your back at the pump. When it comes to sporty vehicles, it’s reassuring to know hugging turns isn’t burning a hole in your wallet at the pump. Usually great gas mileage means a smaller car and less storage, not in this car. Fold-flat seating and second-row reclining seats make transporting easy. Let’s not exaggerate though, it’s still a “small car;” Dodge just made its storage bigger than others its size. Start packing and get moving.


2010 Jeep Patriot (29 MPG HWY) starting at $18,425

The Patriot boosts more than just its name as Best-in-class EPA estimated 4WD highway MPG; it also wins Five Stars for its side crash tests. Safety and performance make this outdoor scavenger a must for summer travel. Take the family camping in the mountains without worrying about running out of gas on some spooky winding road. If you really want to be green, get the Optic Green Metallic color. If that bright green is too much get the Natural Green Pearl.


2010 Honda Insight (43 MPG HWY) starting at $19,800

The aerodynamic shape helps this car get the highest MPG on this list. The modern and sleek design isn’t the only thing making this new model fly off the lot. Remember, even a hybrid has its roots and this is still a Honda. True to form you will spend as much time in the passing lane as you do not filling up your tank. Make economy a contest, watch your eco meter adjust as you switch into ECON mode then power out of the mode to race away. It’s fun having so much control over your vehicle. Come have some fun!


2010 Chrysler Sebring (30 MPG HWY) starting at $20,860

The slogan says “Make a Long Distance Relationship” and that is exactly what this car develops with its owner. This car is a giver. With the UCONNECT system, Chrysler allows drivers to stay connected to your friends, family or business while in the car. The feature allows passengers to surf the web, check email, play games online, etc through its 3G broadband internet in addition to navigation, phone, and of course satellite radio or your iPod through its “eyes on the road.” Technology, safety, dependability and price make this car a green pick.


2010 Volkswagen Golf TDI (42 MPG HWY) starting at $22,354

You should feel the same way at the pump, why should your car run on standard gasoline, diesel is better for your car and more efficient.

2010 Buick Lacrosse CXS (27 MPG HWY) starting at $33,015

Although the Buick is priced above the other fuel efficient vehicles on this list, it is priced higher for a reason. Its V6 engine, perforated leather appointed 8-way seating, 18” chrome plated wheels and a Harmon/Kardon 11-speaker with USB port should be enough to spell out luxury. It’s made the green list because true to its word, it gets 27 MPG. For a luxurious ride that doesn’t payout at the pump, its love at first site. Step inside and see for yourself.

The Outback has unmatched versatility, enviable gas mileage, All-Wheel drive, and a legendary safety record, so it’s no surprise that it is receiving so many awards this year.

Motor Trend named the 2010 Subaru Outback the Sport/Utility of the year. On top of this being an amazing honor, this is the second year in a row that Subaru took home the award. As the first manufacturer ever to achieve this award two years in a row, it’s obvious this brand is working hard to create reliable consumer products.

Motor Trend Editor-in-chief Angus Mackenzie said, “It boasts car-like refinement, drivability and gas mileage on the road, yet is as capable in the rough stuff as all but the most off-road focused sport utilities. Thoughtfully engineered, cleverly detailed and competitively priced, the Subaru Outback is a terrific all-rounder with broad appeal.”

Other awards from Polk, Cars.com and Kelly Blue Book are listed below…

- Polk called the Outback “The best selling All-Wheel Drive car in America for the past 5 years.”
- Cars.com categorized the Outback as the “Best New Wagon of 2010.”
- Kelly Blue Book referred to this wagon as a “2010 Top 10 Family Car.”

Come visit us at Herb Gordon Subaru or Heritage Subaru Owings Mills to test drive a new Outback. See for yourself why this car is beating out every other vehicle in its segment this year.

Subaru and the ASPCA have partnered up to create a “Dog Tested. Dog Approved” campaign. 7 out of 10 Subaru customers have some kind of pet, so this partnership was created to help bring these pets and people together.

In the first year alone, a $1.2 million donation was collected through their “Share the Love” event. Over the holiday season, many events were held which resulted in over 350 adoptions and $28,000 for local agencies. Subaru is celebrating their partnership with the ASPCA though a campaign featuring, Olive and Zelda, two adopted dogs, driving a Subaru Forester.

You can see all of their adventures, and help “Share the Love” at Subaru.com. Below is just one of many commercials with our furry friends. You can also check more out on YouTube here.

2008 Subaru Impreza 2.5i Sedan - Subaru Compact Sedan Review - Automobile Magazine
Buyers of the base Impreza are likely looking at the car as a way to get four-wheel-drive capability in an economy car, and to us, $17,737 is a pretty fair price.

The all-beige interior of this economy sedan has all the aesthetic appeal of a hospital room. Jeez, Subaru, couldn’t you figure out SOMETHING in here that could be colored or finished in such a way as to give the eye a break from the endless monotony of beige plastic? Well, at least everything is uniformly beige; every piece of plastic is exactly the same shade, and the pieces all fit together well. I suppose those are achievements.

2009 Subaru Forester 2.5X - Subaru Crossover SUV Review - Automobile Magazine
The new Forester may not appeal to enthusiasts, but it has one enduring trait that Subarus have had for several decades: it is practical.

Here’s a vehicle that really lost its appeal with a redesign. The last-generation Forester was pretty funky, but it was unique and stood out in the crossover/tall wagon world. This Forester couldn’t be more generic and the test car’s silver paint makes that even worse. The non-turbo engine and automatic transmission (a manual transmission is available, but not with the turbo engine) is also the least appealing combination. The Forester does offer all-wheel drive and lots of utility, but an EPA rating of 22 mpg combined seems like a death sentence for a vehicle this underpowered.

The STI and Evolution versions get all of the attention, but what about the base Impreza and Lancer?

If you’ll forgive me for invoking a hallowed piece of genre-defining cinema, there’s a moment in The Brady Bunch Movie that always tends to stick in my head. Jan Brady, the middle of three sisters, has grown mildly psychotic, and she’s begun talking to herself. Her sister, Marcia, always seems to have the upper hand:

2009 Subaru Impreza WRX - Subaru Hatchback Review - Automobile Magazine
The Rex is back. Power is up and the suspension has been retuned for 2009.

We’ll let you in on a little secret: the all-new-for-2008 Subaru Impreza WRX wasn’t actually a WRX. It seems that Fuji Heavy Industries, Subaru‘s parent company, decided at some point during the new car’s development that WRX buyers had matured and now wanted something softer, quieter, and more mature. They renamed the WRX the S-GT for the home market and tuned its suspension to drive like a Toyota Camry.
