He was very prof terrific salesperson. He was straightforward and patient which were qualities that enabled me to trust him almost instantaneously. He was very professional and reserved judgment with regard to identifying which of the two car models would be the best one for me so as to allow me to come to the conclusion myself. He allowed me to test drive both models and took me on a route that allowed me to see how the cars drove in both city and highway traffic which I appreciated. The buying process went so smoothly from start to finish that it really took the terror out of the car buying process for me. This was the first time that I purchased a car from a dealership and if this is how smoothly the process can go then CitySide Subaru sets a very high bar for other dealerships. Michael Nelson was extremely organized and made the process of securing a great interest rate for my car loan and the signing of the paperwork a breeze. Robert Krasow was attentive as well and responded to my initial email in a timely manner. He helped to remove my City of Boston parking sticker from my trade in vehicle and did a great job of maintaining the integrity of sticker. All in all, I had an outstanding experience at Cityside Subaru and believe that I purchased a vehicle that is a perfect fit for me. Thank you all for helping to make that happen for me:). More

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 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

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
