Easy. No hassle. Reasonable. No sales pitches or trying to sell me a car that I didn't want, unlike some other dealership I've been to.

We enjoyed working with Peter Rosenberg at Cityside Subaru very much. He has an approachable demeanor and is a pleasure to do business with. Peter is accommodating and takes great care to ensure his customers get the car they want. I’d highly recommend buying a subaru from Peter at Cityside.

My wife and I went to a lot of dealerships in the New England area (Subaru, Chevy, Toyota, Ford). Cityside Subaru stood out from the rest. Mark took the time to understand what we wanted in a car and also spent a lot of time explaining our different options. It was clear that he wanted us to get the right car. Mike was open and honest with the loan and contract. Great service all around! Thanks, guys!

I cannot say enough good things about both Cityside Subaru and Peter Rosenberg. It was my first time buying a car, so naturally I was a bit nervous and not entirely looking forward to the process ahead. I started at Cityside based on the recommendation of 3 friends who had also bought cars from them in the past few years. Needless to say, it turned out to be both my first and last stop. From the start, Peter was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is extremely friendly, knowledgeable and engaging, and he honestly made my first car buying experience both enjoyable and entertaining. Not only was Peter great, but I also found Don Ratcliffe and the rest of the Cityside staff to be just as friendly and helpful. Without hesitation, I would happily and enthusiastically recommend both Peter Rosenberg and Cityside Subaru, to anyone who would listen!

Excellent product and excellent customer service. Mark explain the entire process and choices, was informative, yet not pushy, got what was important to me, and helped me learn why this car was for me. Appreciated it.

We have purchased several cars from Cityside and have been very satisfied. Michael Nelson was our previous salesman but he was promoted to finance manager. He recommended Peter Rosenberg, and I can honestly say that I enjoyed dealing with him as much as any salesperson I've ever encountered. He was knowledgeable and attentive, and understood it was my wife's car not mine. I very much enjoyed his dry sense of humor. I suspect we would be friends. He called to follow up several times.

I had my first experience with Cityside Subaru in October 2012 when I purchased my beautiful 2013 Subaru Legacy. I was very pleased with the sale and working with John Melvin and with the financing transaction with Michael Nelson. I drove away very proud in my new Subaru. Four months later, I was less than 1/4 mile from my home driving m daughter to a church event when we were struck by a vehicle containing persons heavily under the influence of alcohol. My daughter was trapped in the car and required the jaws of lif to extricate her from the vehicle. She sustained a fractured pelvis. I was more fortunate, with only fractured ribs. Both side curtain airbags deployed during the impact. My poor car was totalled, but SAVED OUR LIVES. I am a firm believer that we would have been killed, or much more seriously injured had we been in a smaller or less equipt car. One never really expects something like this to happen to them, especially when they are generally a safe driver, but it certainly can! It can happen a matter of feet from your home. After the dust settled, the shock began to wear off, I decided that I would head right back to Cityside Subaru and replace my Legacy.....with another one. My second transaction was just as smooth as the first, just as much as a pleasure to work with these fine gentlemen. I will always own a Subaru. My loyalties will always remain.

My old car was on its last legs, and I had done a lot of research about what I wanted. When I decided on a Subaru Forrester, I looked for dealers in the area with financing promotions. After I filled out one of those "Contact Us" forms on the CitySide Subaru website, I figured I'd have to follow up at some point. But within a day I heard back and my initial questions were answered. Once I heard about their 0% financing deal on 2013 models, I decided to head in.

I met with Mark Lidano, and I cannot say enough about how helpful he was. I ended up coming in for a test drive, asking questions, and running numbers on Saturday afternoon, and after sleeping on it and talking about it with my husband, I went back in Sunday to make the purchase. Knowing exactly what I wanted and what my budget was certainly helped me in the process, but having a salesman who was well-informed, patient, and more of a "guide" than a "salesman" was what made me feel comfortable and confident in moving forward with my purchase. I never felt pressured, and he was great about walking me through step by step so that I understood every piece (even things I wouldn't have known to ask). I've had my new car for a few weeks now, and I totally love it!

Purchasing a Subaru Outback through Cityside Subaru with Mark Lidano as our sales representative for our SECOND Subara Outback purchase was an efficient and painless process. (I had also sent my brother there for his purchase of a Subaru through Mark about a year ago after our great first experience back in 2010.) We are hooked on Subaru's and would definitely send anyone interested in a Subaru to Belmont, regardless of the fact that IRA Subaru Danvers is much closer. Great experience!
