I was driving a Kia Cadenza for the last 6+ years and was interested in a smaller car with easier access for my wife. Preferably an SUV or CUV. I checked out several makes, including Honda, Toyota, and Kia, The Crosstrek Limited with most all the bells and whistles was clearly the best car for me, and Joe & Zach were great to deal with. Have had the Crosstrek for about a week and am not disappointed in any way. We've now bought 4 cars from this dealership, and will definitely be giving them the first shot at selling us our next car!

We just purchased a new Subaru from Gateway Subaru and would like to recommend this dealership. It was just about the most pleasant car buying experience I have ever had. My salesman Joe from West Virgini would like to recommend this dealership. It was just about the most pleasant car buying experience I have ever had. My salesman Joe from West Virginia was extremely knowledgeable about the vehicle we purchased. If you want to really become familiar with the vehicle you are purchasing be sure to ask for Joe "from West Virginia". Zach the finance manager was also very knowledgeable about his products and pleasant to deal with. The dealership was very clean and inviting, everyone was very friendly such as another young fellow there we met, Brian. I highly recommend this fine dealership they really take care of their customers. More
