We know that buying or leasing a new vehicle is a big decision, and we want you to be able to make the most informed decision about which vehicle is the best fit for you. To help you get a better idea of what makes Subaru vehicles great fits for drivers around Cincinnati, we're going to compare popular models in the lineup to Toyota vehicles in the same class, giving you a side by side look at some of the benefits each Subaru vehicle can offer you.
