Cityside was our 3rd dealer encounter and the best by far. USAA affiliation was key; the guaranteed discount also guarantees a hassle-free negotiation. Mark did a great job answering our questions and far. USAA affiliation was key; the guaranteed discount also guarantees a hassle-free negotiation. Mark did a great job answering our questions and guiding us to the vehicle that best met our needs. He has also responded promptly to a few follow-up questions. Cityside exceeded expectations re: the USAA discount, and also provided a significant discount for the extended warranty. Our only issue re: pricing was the lack of an itemized accounting for the dealer-installed options that we selected for our Outback. Mark Nelson cleared up most of these questions before we closed the deal, but I still had trouble making the numbers add up for those options. A little more transparency in the contract paperwork would have been helpful. In the future, we might wait for a vehicle that has all of the desired options factory-installed. No complaint re: Cityside workmanship, but it's obviously a lot cheaper to limit the dealer add-ons. More

I was referred to Cityside through a contact at Subaru of New England. I had visited Quirk Subaru to test drive cars and had an alright experience there but the experience I had at Cityside was far better. I New England. I had visited Quirk Subaru to test drive cars and had an alright experience there but the experience I had at Cityside was far better. I was not looking to make my car purchase into a big ordeal and Cityside understood and accommodated me accordingly. I was very impressed with Mark's level of expertise and professionalism. The car buying experience can be arduous if you are stuck with an inexperienced or unprofessional salesman but Mark was just the opposite. Mark along with Nate were able to get me to the price I desired. I will recommend Cityside to others and will be sure to consider them first for future purchases. Great job! More

He made the whole experience very personable and was very realistic and up front about everything. Every time I went into the dealer I was greated within 1 minute and asked what I needed. I was offered water or coffee multiple times during the process. The price we agreed on was very competitive with the surrounding dealers. The whole experience was wonderful and I will be returning to this dealer in the future to buy my next car!! More

Living in New England and during our recent storms, I knew my car wasn't right for me. After deciding on a Subaru I shopped dealerships and found that CitySide had the best and knowledgable associates. knew my car wasn't right for me. After deciding on a Subaru I shopped dealerships and found that CitySide had the best and knowledgable associates. I live in Ct. And currently going through chemotherapy. One of the salesmen drove the car to me and helped me with the paperwork and registration and then took my trade in back with him. This is what Customer Service is all about. "Going above and beyond". I love my new Impreza and have survived 2 big storms getting to and from work without any issues. Thank you ! More
