Great experience for buying my Forester I decided to purchase a Subaru upon graduating from college. I did some research online and decided on a Forester. I first interacted with the dealers I decided to purchase a Subaru upon graduating from college. I did some research online and decided on a Forester. I first interacted with the dealership online and went in person later to take a look at the car. The whole process was handled very professionally and smoothly. Within 10 days, I was on the road with my brand new Forester and Mark has been following up with me to make sure everything has been going ok. I could not ask for a better experience in terms of purchasing my first car! More

Not pushy at all!

They actually listened and were helpful and honest rather than being opaque and pushy. What a breath of fresh air! Mark was so polite and considerate- I felt so at ease and he made me want to give him my business because he was so much better than any other salesman I’ve ever dealt with. More

A perfectly smooth purchase from Mark Lidano Mark Lidano sold me my first Subaru in the fall of 2010. Since then he has sold my wife a Subaru and kept in touch with us over the years. When the Mark Lidano sold me my first Subaru in the fall of 2010. Since then he has sold my wife a Subaru and kept in touch with us over the years. When the time came for me to buy a new car, Mark and Cityside Subaru were important factors in my choosing a Subaru again. The service department has been professional, friendly, and helpful over the years as well. When I went into Cityside Subaru to select a car, Mark made it very easy by knowing me, my tastes and needs, and a thorough knowledge of what Subaru had to offer. He accompanied me on a test drive, after which I was able to make the purchase quickly. When I went back to pick up the car, he welcomed me, his colleague Tom D'Alessandro was friendly and knowledgeable with the finance paperwork, and Mark was back with the inspected car very quickly. He explained and demonstrated new features and set up bluetooth phone system and radio preferences. Overall, it was as smooth and pleasant experience as I could possibly have had. I'm completely satisfied with my experience. More

Good value, good service, they listen and support the process, never pushy or misleading... everything you want your new car purchase to be. My last experience was with Mark Lidano.

Our third CitySide Subaru We just bought a Subaru Ascent (trading in one of our Forestera) from CitySide and we’re very happy. This is our third Subaru from CitySide and the ex We just bought a Subaru Ascent (trading in one of our Forestera) from CitySide and we’re very happy. This is our third Subaru from CitySide and the experience has been great each time. We worked with Mark (and before with Flavio who was also great) and he made the experience seamless. He worked with us to get the Ascent we wanted at the right price without any hassle, and worked with us to give us fair value on our trade-in. We can’t remember the managers name, but the reason why we always go back to CitySide is that they never feel like they are selling us. They are just trying to help us make the best decision - and do it in a decidedly low-key way. I’ve interacted with a lot of other dealers and thats why we keep going back to CitySide. That and Subaru. Except for perhaps Tesla, there’s no other car we plan to own. They are just the best. More

He Mark Lidano creates the best car buying experience to date. He immediately builds trust and rapport that never falters and he delivers on his word. He listened to my purchasing parameters and worked earnestly to meet them. In the end, Mark was able to quickly meet all my desires and he did so in a hassle-free and easy going way. It was without doubt the best car buying experience I’ve had. Mark is a true pro. Would highly recommend him and Cityside to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle. More
