Following it again becoming a Subaru-approved dealer, the full range of Subaru vehicles is now available to an even wider number of motorists in Norfolk.

Based in Constitution Hill, the family-run business, which was established in 1959, is known across the community for its outstanding customer service. The dealership has held authorised repairer status with Subaru since 2005, and so has a ready-trained team of Subaru vehicle technicians with the expertise to maintain and repair customer cars.

Constitution Motors will house the full range of All-Wheel Drive Subaru vehicles, including the Japanese brand's recently-launched Forester sport utility vehicle, the newly-upgraded Outback and the XV compact crossover, as well as the critically-acclaimed BRZ sports car. The dealership will offer full sales, aftersales and servicing facilities.

Constitution Motors managing director Ian Coates said: 'We're delighted to be extending our partnership with Subaru and working as a main dealer, with a range of cars renowned for their unique engineering, go-anywhere capabilities and reputation for reliability.

'The brand has a passionate following up and down the country, and exciting cars like the BRZ sports car and all-terrain Subaru Forester are at the heart of that. This is an exciting development for Constitution Motors, and we're confident that we can live up to motorists' expectations of the brand.

'We have been looking for a franchise which complements our continuing relationship with the Hyundai brand as an authorised service agent. We are in a rural community and Subaru gives us no-nonsense All-Wheel Drive vehicles which will deal with whatever the weather throws at us. Subaru is all about engineering and capability – on snow and mud they are very surefooted and. with the recent introduction of a diesel engine. they are also more fuel-efficient and economical to run.'

Paul Tunnicliffe, managing director of Subaru UK, said: 'Positive customer experiences come out of our dealers' good technical knowledge and their ability to develop relationships with our customers, and we're certain that Constitution Motors will uphold these values in the region.'

Subaru UK's expanding dealer network was recently ranked second in the country in the influential Auto Express Driver Power survey.
