Looking for a used car in New York that will fit a family and a thrifty wallet? Parents and Edmunds.com teamed up to find the best cars that fit both, and a used Subaru Forester may be the ticket for economically-minded families.

Both sides test-drove the vehicles they were examining for a six-month period to gauge features while ensuring that they received reviews from parents who used the cars on a daily basis.

They found that the Forester offered family-friendly safety features which helped push it past other competitors.

“We are doubly pleased that the Subaru Forester’s safety features and family-friendly design have won over not only the experts, but also the parents who rely on our vehicles to keep their families safe,” says Tom Doll, chief operating officer of Subaru of America.

Those looking to buy a used car in New York that has received plaudits like that and is comparable in cost to a new entry-level car, the 2004 model was lauded by Edmunds.com editors for being “fun to drive” while receiving “class-leading crash test scores.”
