There's something very beautiful about winter in Washington, Canonsburg, Bethel Park, and Pittsburgh--the softly falling snow, the quiet chill of the night. But when you're trying to get to work, to pick up groceries, or head downtown for a night out, the beauty of winter is quickly overwhelmed by the inconvenience and annoyance of dirty slush in the roads, black ice, harsh salt, and irritated fellow drivers.

Fortunately, with quick and easy winterization prep in Washington, you can make sure that at least your Subaru is ready for the worst of winter weather, even if you're not…

If you're shopping around for your next family car in Washington, Canonsburg, Bethel Park, or Pittsburgh, you may be looking at a new Subaru--after all, they are some of the safest, longest-lasting, and most affordable vehicles on the market. And, since all but one new Subaru model offer standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, these vehicles are exceptionally useful and capable in any weather.

Is the Subaru Crosstrek good in the snow?

You tell us.

Which Subaru Models Have Standard All-Wheel Drive?

• 2017 Subaru Impreza Sedan
• 2017 Subaru Impreza Hatchback
• 2017 Subaru Forester
• 2017 Subaru Forester 2.0XT Turbo
• 2017 Subaru WRX
• 2017 Subaru WRX STI
• 2017 Subaru Legacy

How Does Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive Work?

There are plenty of affordable, well-equipped, and thoughtfully-designed compact cars for sale in Washington that you could buy--but there's only one AWD sedan or hatchback that Canonsburg, Bethel Park, Pittsburgh PA, and Wheeling WV drivers can really get excited about.

It's the 2017 Subaru Impreza, and its all-new platform is making some serious waves on the market.

No, we're not paint-dipping the cars in our showroom--but the team at Budd Baer Subaru is showing their support for breast cancer research and awareness this month by proudly sporting pink clothing in our Washington service center.

When you stop in this month for an oil change, for brake repair, for tire service, or for other basic maintenance issues near Canonsburg, Bethel Park, Pittsburgh, and Wheeling WV, you'll see the cheery shine of a rosy-hued service center staff!

This walk-around of the 2017 Subaru Legacy is just the boost that Washington drivers on the fence need--if you've been considering getting into a nicer, newer midsize car without busting the bank, you won't find a better fit than this model.

Last month, we got acquainted with the 2017 Legacy to learn about its engine options, its trim levels and package options, new tech and connectivity systems, and why it's easily one of the most competitive sedans…

The new 2017 Subaru Forester has been carefully and lovingly engineered to provide the best possible performance, capability, versatility, safety, security, and fun for its size. With standard and turbocharged engine power, the new Forester gives you more ways to drive in Washington--and with six unique trim levels, its more customizable than ever, too.

Even just a few years ago, the Subaru Outback didn't enjoy the spotlight like it does now--even though it was a top seller year over year. But something about its whacky wagon body and persistent commitment to function over fashion made it the butt of a joke to style-driven shoppers, but no more than it endeared the wagon to adventurous fans in Washington and Wheeling.

But in recent years--especially with the addition of the…
