5. Subaru WRX
One of the biggest features that sustains the value of all Subaru models is the company’s commitment to all-wheel drive in every vehicle. They have a reputation for decent fuel economy and absolute indefatigability in the face of everything from rain to snow. That means the brand always attracts a legion of buyers who live in the country and many folks who have to deal with rough winters in the mountains and northern areas.
The WRX, however, attracts what seems at first blush to be a strange mix of aftermarket buyers. The reliability and all-wheel drive capability make it a popular choice for the soccer mom set, but it also brings street racers into the mix. The Subaru AWDs are popular choices thanks to their turbochargers to be retrofitted with high-performance gear systems for racing. That broad base of prospective buyers allows the WRX to hold onto more than 65-percent of its initial value after three years.
