So your baby's all grown up and soon they'll be off to college, and you want to make sure they have the perfect car to get them from Bangor to there safely. At Charlie's Subaru, we're happy to help you find something that will make you and your child happy.

What You Should Look for in a Car for Your Young Driver

There are a few things to watch out for. First of all, you'll want something affordable. Going to college already means taking out loans for Portland youths, so you don't want to add onto that with a big car loan. Going along with that, you'll want to choose a car with good fuel efficiency to further reduce the cost of ownership.

The other thing Waterville, ME drivers will want to prioritize is safety, especially since young adults' brains are still developing. Check the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) ratings to see how well various cars perform in accidents.

Choosing the Right Subaru

With all of that in mind, what should you choose from our inventory? The Subaru Impreza ticks all of these boxes. It’s the most affordable model in the Subaru model and drives a combined 31 mpg around Auburn. It also won the Top Safety Pick award from the IIHS this year.

You might also consider checking out our inventory of Certified Pre-Owned Subaru models. These are the best of our used Subarus, coming with a factory-backed warranty and a full inspection, guaranteeing their reliability. Even with these benefits, they're still more affordable than a new car, which makes them perfect fits for a college student.
