What is CarProof?

• CarProof is a Canadian based used vehicle history reporting service. We are superior to other internet based vehicle history service for the following reasons:
• We were founded to access and supply important Canadian used vehicle data that is not provided by other popular U.S. based services, including Carfax.
• We are electronically connected “live” to our data sources. This means that our data is always current and not outdated. Other services purchase data dumps periodically leaving the chance that recent important data is not included in their reports.
• We are the only service that provides consumers with Canadian lien and/or security interest information on vehicles. We are connected live to each provincial and territorial registrar responsible for maintaining these records. Other U.S. based services, including Carfax, do not report any Canadian vehicle lien information.
• We are the only service that provides consumers with Canadian insurance and accident claims data. Through our live connection to comprehensive databases that service the Canadian insurance industry, we provide data from 90% of Canada’s private insurance industry. We also have a product that instantaneously searches the ICBC database for insurance claims data in British Columbia.
• We are the only service that is electronically connected to the database for each provincial and territorial Ministry of Transportation in Canada. Through our live connections we provide consumers with access to the same current data used by departments of motor vehicles in Canada and the U.S. Other U.S. based services, including Carfax, are not electronically connected to each Canadian province and territory.
• In addition to all of the above, our reports also provide consumers with data from one of the largest U.S. based vehicle history services. Through our live connection to Experian Automotive’s 2 billion + record database, all of our reports include the data you would get from other popular U.S. based vehicle history services.

What is the difference between the Subaru symmetrical all wheel drive and their competitors?

Among others, it is not all wheel drives. Sometimes it is propelled, sometimes drawn, sometimes only one wheel at a time, while with Subaru, 4 wheels working at all times, so no slipping wheel, thereby increasing traction. Transmitting power to 4 wheels, the vehicle is able to maintain his leadership, negotiate turns with stability and control. Since 1970, Subaru is working to integrate its transmission in the all wheel drive AWD. Competitors have found it a good idea and since 2002 they are trying to catch up with Subaru, but in vain. Their short-term solution is to add a box (transfer case) on the side of their existing transmission!

Despite the road conditions and weather, your family and you will be in better security than whit any other vehicle.

Why do you sell the Subaru?

We wanted our young families to be safe. The results of Subaru crash tests were significantly better, and further more we think that Subaru as a better drive syteme to keep us on the road. We wanted the security of a 4×4 without paying for excessive gas consumption. Japanese reliability. Experience rally led Subaru to make stronger vehicles than its competitors.

What are the differences between the Subaru models?

Forester and Impreza have the same chassis, while Legacy and Outback share the same platform. The wheelbase is longer on the Legacy – Outback chassis. The Outback and Forester are higher on the ground. That is why the Forester is more appropriate off road. If you plan to have two baby seats, you should opt for the Legacy and Outback models. You will have more living space. Otherwise, the front passenger will find himself very close to the air bag! This seems to have been fixed on new models (2008+).
