A good experience We bought a used Subaru Outback way back in 2006 from Mark Lidano and came back this year to buy a 2015 Forester. I test drove it against the 2015 Out We bought a used Subaru Outback way back in 2006 from Mark Lidano and came back this year to buy a 2015 Forester. I test drove it against the 2015 Outback, the Honda CRV, and a Nissan Rogue, returning several times for test drives with and without my spouse. Mark was patient, easy to talk to, and helpful in answering questions and considering all sorts of options, which made the process of buying a car much more pleasant than expected. As a nice bonus, he had a sense of humor, too. The larger team at Cityside seems personable, friendly, and fairly low-key in terms of pressure, which we also appreciated. There's not a lot of give on price for Subarus in our area, but we wound up feeling good about the price we we paid and what we got for it. More

Cityside Subaru makes buying a car a hassle-free experience I have bought 2 Subaru's from Mark at citywide and both times it was an extremely easy and rewarding experience. Mark does not mess around and is true I have bought 2 Subaru's from Mark at citywide and both times it was an extremely easy and rewarding experience. Mark does not mess around and is true to his word. If you are looking to get the best price without having the whole "I have to go check with my manager" 10 times that you get at most dealerships then go to citywide and see Mark! I almost forgot John in finance who was honest and upfront, explained the process for financing and made buying the car a quick experience, its just a bonus that he is also a "car guy". More

Overall, a very comfortable buying experience I felt listened to. And our salesman, Mark Lidano, and the business manager, John Melvin, were most considerate and helpful. This is the second car ou I felt listened to. And our salesman, Mark Lidano, and the business manager, John Melvin, were most considerate and helpful. This is the second car our family has bought from Cityside Subaru, and we went back because of the courtesy and service they have provided for our other vehicle. In addition, they gave us a better deal than our local dealer. Because of these factors, we felt it was worth our while to travel the 20 or so miles to Belmont. More

We took the car two different times and the team at Cityside never pushed or pressured us while we hemmed and hawed over two weeks and drove other options. They let us arrive at our own conclusion - which was to purchase. We appreciate the low key approach. More

Purchasing a 2014 Subaru Forester My husband and I worked with Mark Lidano and it was a wonderful experience. Mark was upfront with us and wasn't the typical, annoying car salesman th My husband and I worked with Mark Lidano and it was a wonderful experience. Mark was upfront with us and wasn't the typical, annoying car salesman that I dread when going to dealerships. We originally came in on 10/13 and took home the Forester on 10/16. I absolutely love my car and it was nice that Mark texted the following week to see how the car was as well as sending a thank you card. I called the dealership once regarding a question I had about the car and they were so nice and helpful. Will definitely go back there...maybe to purchase a new car since my husband loves mine!!!

It was easy to take a test drive, the sales people seemed genuine, and left us alone to discuss our decision. Mark answered questions, and helped with the whole process. The car was ready when they said it would be. More
