2011 Subaru Outback

The Subaru Outback’s championship form shined through when the results were tallied, with the lowest depreciation rate in the segment being a key factor in its victory. It is no wonder this is the fourth year in a row that the Outback has earned Vincentric’s Best Value in America Award, with the 2011 performance showing total cost of ownership that is almost 4% lower than expected.
