I had tested a new Forester at another dealer and really liked the extra legroom and the improved mileage over my current 012 Forester.After doing an internet search of the surrounding 200 mile area; I foun liked the extra legroom and the improved mileage over my current 012 Forester.After doing an internet search of the surrounding 200 mile area; I found an available silver 14 Forester with the options that I wanted and received an excellent e-price from Ethan Sparrow . I called Ethan and put a hold on the silver Forester and told him I had a 012 Forester to trade.So we left at 5:30 AM for the drive to Chicago. But I was truly surprised when we got to the showroom to see a red Forester on the floor which is the color we really wanted but all the red ones were either unavailable or in transit. So after talking with Ethan and getting an excellent trade-in price on the 012 forester. We started the paperwork and Ethan had the new red one prepped for delivery. We were back on the road home in less than 2 hours. This was truly a no-hassle for a car buying experience. This was the most enjoyable car buying experience I have had in 40 years. So overall I will be forced to give Ethan and Evanston Subaru all 5's since they don't have any 10's on the rating form. Thanks again Bruce Endris More
We saw the used car we were looking for on Cars.com so we decided to take a chance and drive 40 miles to Evanston Subaru. The moment we entered the showroom we were greeted by Bill Snowden. He said we need decided to take a chance and drive 40 miles to Evanston Subaru. The moment we entered the showroom we were greeted by Bill Snowden. He said we needed to speak with Evan Paddor, internet Sales Manager. Evan told us the car we were interested in was on hold for another customer but he would call the customer to see if they were still interested in the vehicle. They were not, so we took a test drive. Evan let us take our time looking the car over. We eventually agreed on a fair price. While we waited for the finance department, Evan recommended a great restaurant very nearby. He called us our our cell phone when we were next in line. Our experience with Evanston Subaru was very favorable and I would definitely recommend the dealership to a friend or family member. The dealership dog and the remarkable fish tank only added to the family friendly atmosphere. More
I was scheduled for an oil change and tire rotation but after Dorsey reviewed my service record on the dealership computer she recommended that I also replace the timing belt. This was a very expensive se after Dorsey reviewed my service record on the dealership computer she recommended that I also replace the timing belt. This was a very expensive service ($1700) that is apparently needed every 6 years, just the age of my car. As I am going east for the summer and won't have easy access to a Subaru dealer, I agreed. She worked with me to reduce the price with dealer service coupons and arranged for me to have a free loaner car for the day. As we were reviewing the bill at the end of the day I noted that I had been charged for the rental car. Dorsey was able to delete that charge, after several phone calls to other folk at the dealership. I have had my car serviced by Evanston Subaru since I bought it from them in April 2007, other than an annual oil change in Massachusetts where I spend 4 months each summer. I must trust that what the intake personnel tell me is correct, as I have no way of knowing whether their recommendations are in my best interest or not. All in all I believe the Service Department is honest. trustworthy and willing to explain their recommendations to me in a clear and understandable way. I LOVE my Outback! More
Historically, my experience of buying a car has been somewhat of a painstaking process. Working with Evan and Rob Paddor, however, proved that buying a car could be a very positive experience. Evan and somewhat of a painstaking process. Working with Evan and Rob Paddor, however, proved that buying a car could be a very positive experience. Evan and Rob listened to what I wanted and were respectful of my limitations. They were attentive and always made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. The purchase price of the vehicle was well below most competitors in the Chicagoland area and their offer on my trade was more than what I had been offered by other dealers. Overall, I am very satisfied with my experience at Evanston Subaru and would definitely return for future business. I would also highly recommend this dealership to others in the market for a Subaru.

I got a report from Consumer Report concerning the Subaru Impreza Sport Limited. It gave me an evaluation concerning the car which was mostly good but pointed some things which should be considered during a Impreza Sport Limited. It gave me an evaluation concerning the car which was mostly good but pointed some things which should be considered during a demo drive in which we drove on city streets and also on the expressway. We found the car to be acceptable for our needs. This will be our fourth Subaru and we did have a problem with our second Subaru soon after we purchased it, but Subaru took complete care of that problem while we were on a trip out west and provided us with a rental car for a week while they repaired our car at no expense to us. We have had to travel to Minnesota in snowy and icy conditions when other cars were having problems and we had full confidence that our car was under control at all times. We feel we were dealt with fairly during the negotiations for our new Subaru.Impreza. i More
I was very pleased with my service experience this past week. Even though I did not have a scheduled appointment to get a routine servicing of my car, I was in and out in a short amount of time.

I looked at new Subaru Forrester on line; the Evanston dealership was close and had exactly the vehicle I wanted. I was surprised at the low hassle and the rather mellow mood in the showroom. I asked so dealership was close and had exactly the vehicle I wanted. I was surprised at the low hassle and the rather mellow mood in the showroom. I asked some questions, looked at the vehicle and talked with my sales rep Evan. We really had a good conversation; not just about the car but about his work at the dealership, the world of customers and emerging car technologies. Actual negotiation was low-key; going on-line first had a lot of advantages. In less than 2 hours I had purchased a new Forrester ( I LOVE it), unpacked my old Forrester, which was crammed with belongings as I'm preparing a move out of the city, repacked everything into the new car, complete with my Chicago city sticker neatly transferred, and drove off the lot. Evan, by the way, offered boxes for my stuff and brought them himself. One day later I realized my garage door opener was still in the old Forrester. Again, Evan leggged it himself, combed the lot and found it. This car purchase was the easiest and nicest of my long car-buying career. More
I must say my experience with Evanston Subaru was a great one and Derek went out of his way to make sure we got the Satin White Limited BRZ that no other dealers could find and was able to put a reserve on one and Derek went out of his way to make sure we got the Satin White Limited BRZ that no other dealers could find and was able to put a reserve on the car over the phone way before the car was at the dealer and when it came in early he called us and had everything ready to go so when we got there it took a little over an hour which was fast to me. I would recommend Evanston Subaru to anyone looking for a great experience and a great price. More
Yesterday I visited Evanston Subaru with my nephew Adam who was considering a new car purchase. After visiting Honda earlier that day we were delighted by the every aspect of Evanston Subaru. Ethan Sparr who was considering a new car purchase. After visiting Honda earlier that day we were delighted by the every aspect of Evanston Subaru. Ethan Sparrow was Adam's sales representative. Ethan was very professional and straight forward in his handling of both the purchase of the new car and evaluation of Adam's trade in vehicle. Adam selected the Subaru Impreza 5 door, it fits his lifestyle and budget. The loan process went smoothly as well. I am a Mercedes-Benz owner used to professional sales and service. I'm pleased to say the Evanston Subaru experience was comparable. Meeting Rob Paddor the owner and all the staff made us comfortable with this purchase. Adam is looking forward to a long term relationship with Evanston Subaru. More
