ALL SUBARU MODELS RECEIVE IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK (TSP) FOR 2015

Subaru has become synonymous with the word safety. Why you might ask? Maybe it’s Subaru’s patented Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, maybe it’s Subaru’s innovative Eyesight feature, or maybe it’s because Subaru vehicles keep taking home the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s “Top Safety Pick” and “Top Safety Pick+” awards.


During the latest rounds of testing, ALL SUBARU MODELS RECEIVE IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK (TSP) FOR 2015.

All Subaru models, including the Subaru Impreza, Subaru Outback, Subaru Legacy, Subaru BRZ, Subaru XV Crosstrek, and Subaru Forester.

Top Safety Pick+ (TSP+) is the highest standard of safety the Institute can award. Earning the award for every Subaru in their vehicle line-up is quite impressive; however, this is not the only year Subaru’s earned the top safety pick for every model in their line-up. In fact, Subaru is the only manufacturer with IIHS Top Safety Picks FOR ALL MODELS SIX YEARS RUNNING!

What’s more impressive is Subaru continues their safety streak, despite stricter qualifications. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has upped their standards for their Top Safety Pick and last year added a fifth test to the curriculum, the small overlap front test.

To win 2015 Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must have “Good” ratings in all four tests of high-speed front and side crash tests, a rollover test, and evaluations of seat/head restraints for protection against neck injuries in rear impacts. In addition, “Good” or “Acceptable” performance in a small overlap front test introduced in 2012 is also required. The same level of performance in those tests, along with an “Advanced” or “Superior” rating for front crash prevention, is required for the higher accolade, 2015 Top Safety Pick+.

Much like any test, some succeed while others fail. You could consider Subaru than an over-achiever.  Time and time again, Subaru models have been recognized for their safety features, like Subaru’s patented Subaru Eyesight.

Five of the seven vehicles also earn 2015 Top Safety Pick+ status; Subaru Forester, Legacy, Outback, Impreza, and XV Crosstrek, when equipped with optional EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology.

Subaru EyeSight is an automated braking system. Subaru Eyesight is the highest rated front crash prevention system currently on the market. Subaru Eyesight technology is available in the Outback, Legacy, and Forester models.  Learn more about Subaru Eyesight here.

Many of these Top Safety Pick+ vehicles are available in our new car inventory.

Ferguson Subaru Dog Days of Winter Events: Share the Love

Christmas is fast approaching. Soon we'll all be gathered with friends and family, sitting around a Christmas tree, unwrapping presents and signing along to Christmas songs. You're probably making plans right now; trying to get everyone together in the same home.

Ferguson Subaru wants to remind you that while you'll likely have a warm place to celebrate Christmas there are hundreds of homeless animals in our community that won't.

Ferguson Subaru host special events and activities especially for our four-legged friends. One such event is our Pet Adoption Event. We've held our Pet Adoption Event the past two consecutive years at our Subaru dealership in Broken Arrow, each year in December.

This year’s Ferguson Subaru Pet Adoption Event will be held December 11, 2014!


Our Pet Adoption Event is made possible by the Tulsa SPCA. The Tulsa SPCA will visit us with their MAC Truck (mobile adoption center)! The Tulsa SPCA will bring nearly a dozen pets in need of a home this Christmas including several adoptable dogs and cats.

We are proud support our local Tulsa-area animal rescue and adoption organizations. We are proud to work with the Tulsa SPCA. We hope you'll visit us December 11th and give a warm, loving home to a pet in need this holiday.

The Ferguson Subaru Pet Adoption Event is just one of two events to look forward to during our Subaru Dog Days of Winter. Our Dog Days of Winter is part of our Subaru Share the Love events.

Subaru of America has helped support nearly 300 animal shelters, grant more than 600 wishes, fund over one million meal deliveries to seniors, and support over 70 national parks through the "Share the Love" event. The Subaru "Share the Love" Event is held every year between November and January.


We're hosting a puppy meet and greet for our other Dog Days of Winter Event. Our "Guide Dogs for the Blind: Meet the Puppies in Training" event will be held the day after our Pet Adoption Event, on December 12, 2014. We hope you'll join us for both events!

Subaru encourages each Subaru dealership across the country to partner with one local charity. This year Ferguson Subaru has partnered with Guide Dogs for the Blind (GDB).

As our designated Share the Love partner, Guide Dogs for the Blind is one of four organizations our Ferguson Subaru customers who purchase a new Subaru between now and January 2, 2015 can choose to have Subaru donate $250 dollars to after their new car purchase.
