2016 New Forester -- Solid Interaction I visited Cityside first, and test drove three cars. This experience was great, the people I worked with were helpful and informative. I wanted to p I visited Cityside first, and test drove three cars. This experience was great, the people I worked with were helpful and informative. I wanted to price shop elsewhere, and I received better quotes from other locations -- however, they were all "non-inclusive" and ended up being higher or comprable to Cityside. A week later, I had a hasslefree purchase from Cityside, after a quick negotiation on price. I would recommend Cityside, and additionally recommend making sure to ask any other dealerships what the total cost of the car they will be selling you is. Specifically ask about destination and delivery fees. I couldn't have asked for anything better or different in my Cityside experience. More

My first car ever !!! These guys were awesome ! After having one "okay" experience and one really bad experience, we called Citywide. Luckily, Pete Hartelius spoke to us and took care of everything After having one "okay" experience and one really bad experience, we called Citywide. Luckily, Pete Hartelius spoke to us and took care of everything from there on. He's such a great guy, can't thank him enough !! I got a Subaru Impreza, first time I am buying a car. Pete was patient and provided all the information I needed. I felt very comfortable asking him any questions. Overall, I had a great experience, everyone was very friendly and was not like the first two dealerships I went to. When I get my second car, I'll probably first contact Pete. More

Excellent Service and Customer Experience I bought my first Subaru--a Forrester--just recently and very much enjoyed doing so at Cityside. I worked with Junior Williams, who was really just te I bought my first Subaru--a Forrester--just recently and very much enjoyed doing so at Cityside. I worked with Junior Williams, who was really just terrific. Knowledgeable, friendly, polite, efficient and accomodating. Junior worked hard to get me the car I wanted and to help me decide whether to lease or finance. He never pushed me--but he did impress me. I was happy with the purchase and very happy with this dealership. My last few cars were Hondas and I grew very fond of my dealer there (Herb Chambers Brighton). He was superb but has since semi-retired and I have been disapppointed with the other dealers. (In addition, I am a bit less enchanted by the Honda product since the company's poor conduct in the defective Takata airbag debacle. Honda was unforgiveably slow to act.) Anyway--Junior was terrific--and Michael, who handled the loan paperwork, was efficient and professional. I have read some less positive reviews of this dealership in Yelp--no idea where those negatives came from (although Junior shines in those reviews as well!) I will definitely be back, when I need a new Subaru. More

Wonderful Experience buying my first car! I bought my first car last weekend at CitySide Subaru. I worked with Flavio and the whole experience was wonderful. I went to three other dealerships I bought my first car last weekend at CitySide Subaru. I worked with Flavio and the whole experience was wonderful. I went to three other dealerships and test drove two other similar cars. Ultimately, I decided the Subaru Forester was the best and Flavio and his team at Subaru made sure the process went smoothly. I couldn't be more pleased! More
