Tom was very straightforward and honest, and helped me find the car I was looking for. He even gave me a recommendation for insurance which saved me over $100/mo from what I had been quoted earlier that day. If I'm ever looking to buy another car I will come to Tom first. EDIT 9.21.2020 I really can't recommend this dealership after dealing with their service department over the last couple of years. Once they messed up my brakes so badly that I had to bring it in 4 times to get them to replace them correctly. They seized up on the highway to the point where it was hard to accelerate. brought the car back, they ensured me it was fixed and then it would happen again... they did give me a free clutch during this experience (it broke during their road test). 6 months later they told me my warranty was expired (it wasn't). I was ensured that it had expired, and that the service rep had talked to sales to confirm. I called sales, and asked and they said my warranty was valid. I called service back and he told me that the person I talked to was new... At the end of the day I had to bring my paper warranty contract into the shop to get them to honor it. Honestly I don't think that the service rep was trying to pull a quick one on me or anything, but these two experiences have definitely made me lose my faith in the service at this dealership. Do yourself a favor and get the service done somewhere else.

Overall great experience. Our sales person, Mark, was great to work with, very friendly, respectful, informative, but not pushy. And he has regularly followed up since purchase. The only downside was the “$4k over sticker pandemic price” increase was not shared until we were into the negotiating stage. I would certainly recommend Cityside.

Cityside Subaru is so welcoming and our experience was very positive! We worked with Rob and he helped us out tremendously from start to finish. He answered all of our questions and eased any concerns, making the process extremely smooth. I would highly recommend Rob if you're in the market for a Subaru!

We recently purchased a Subaru at Cityside with the help of Crystal Campbell. Because of her expertise and guidance, she made our car buying experience a pleasure. We can’t say enough good things about Crystal. Her honesty, sincerity, and attention to detail, along with her excellent listening skills, understanding, and engaging personality makes her tops. Cityside deserves the highest of accolades for hiring such an outstanding person. We highly recommend Cityside and Crystal!

I enjoyed meeting Dan and Alex. Alex was helpful in the initial steps of discussing possibilities, and Dan worked with me on the selection and purchase itself. Dan spent time explaining things to me. He also very helpfully gave me a ride home from the dealership before I'd finished completing my purchase. Overall, the experience was low-pressure and satisfying.

Had a good experience. Needed to buy a car quickly, and therefore needed to feel I could trust the person with whom I was working, as I didn't have time to do all the investigations. Tom was straightforward and helpful, never pushy, and we got the deal done and I am very happy with my car and with the price I paid for it.

Cheers to Peter Rosenberg., a man extraordinaire. (He is also known as a CitySubaru sales consultant). My whole car-buying experience can be summarized in a few words: no pressure just pleasure .Peter was supportive, witty and knowledgeable. I can not resist quoting from his handout- checklist: there is no need to have your beloved 15 years old rust bucket with 300 000 miles detailed, washed or vacuumed. We have seen it all. (My beloved rust bucket actually was a 15 year old Mercedes E320. May it rest in pieces.) Thank you, Peter. Stay and sell well. (Your bio is very interesting and the photographs are beautiful).

I had an easy transition of swapping cars. I bought a Subaru and was not happy with it due to the size and not being able to put it in my garage. Tom was very efficient, caring and efficient in helping me to buy a Subaru Foresterer. The process went smoothly and I was able to pick up car in two days. I thank Tom for all of his help. It was greatly appreciated.

Mike DiFrancisco was terrific to work with. This was my first new car purchase in 12 years and I was not looking forward to the whole process. With Mike as my salesperson, the experience was easy and stress free. His top priority was to make sure I was happy. Mike's demeanor was always calm and cheerful. He made sure I got the car I wanted, patiently showed me all the features that were new to me, and told me that I could call him at any time with questions, (which I have)!

My wife and I had a experience working Tom DAlessandro to buy a used 2011 Subaru Outback. We told Tom generally what we were looking for a used Subaru Outback year 2010-2014 with leather seats. He let us know that any of the cloth seat outbacks could be converted to leather for a reasonable price. We were also able to add a video/camera in the rear view mirror. Tom was organized, helpful, and knowledgeable. He kept us updated as the leather seats and rear view back up camera were added to the car. The car came to us in excellent condition and the whole process was quick and easy. I'd definitely recommend Cityside Subaru and working with Tom DAlessandro.

I came into Cityside Subaru , being familiar with the deership's good reputation . They sell the car I had researched to best meet my needs. For me, visibility and safety were primary concerns, as well as Subaru's reputation for tough all weather vehicles. Peter Rosenberg was very welcoming . We immediately had a meeting of the minds on what I wanted, and his enthusiasm for the Crosstrek made the time truly enjoyable. He was quite knowledgeable about this car and all of the features - we were speaking the same language. Actually Peter is a walking Subaru encyclopedia . He has a quick wit , and a gentle disposition. I enjoyed the whole process of learning about and buying this car.

Cityside Subaru - especially DAN RZEPNICKI - made my car buying experience a pleasure. We bought a used car for our son a couple of months ago from a very well-known dealership and the experience was terrible, so when I walked into Cityside to buy a new car for myself (my first ever new car) I was apprehensive. I thought I knew what I wanted, and Dan listened to everything I said. He gave me the car I thought I wanted (a manual) to test drive and then he suggested test driving an automatic. And he was right! I bought a 2016 Crosstrek, got a great deal, and I LOVE it! Thank you Cityside, thank you Dan!!

The sales person was helpful and made sure he wasn't forcing me into making a deal. He asked what I wanted to do or if I wanted to think about some options before going forward at all instead of tossing paperwork in front of me and trying to get me to sign. He helped me understand the different vehicle options and what each of them will offer. They had videos that they showed about options, the vehicles and the services. The finance specialist helped me understand finance options, add on packages and everything else. When I asked them questions, they had the answer or would pull out some pamphlets that help break them down to understand more. Overall it seemed like they knew their jobs well and wanted to make sure I was happy with what I had chosen. The sales person has followed up with me a few times to check on me and the vehicle. I have asked him some questions and I received a prompt response each time.

Junior and the rest of the team at Cityside really impressed me. I filled out a Kelly Blue Book trade-in-value form online and Junior followed up via email within an hour. I was looking to buy a used car and sent him links and he had the cars ready and running (with the heat on!) when we arrived. I was so impressed with how kind, knowledgeable and efficient the whole process was. Since this is the first time I bought a car I had a bunch of questions and he was patient with me and explaining all the answers. At no point did I feel like I was being taken advantage of or pressured into buying a car (which is what I had always imagined the car-buying process was like). I test drove the car on a Tuesday night and came in the next day to determine the trade in value and figure out the paperwork. The process was SEAMLESS. I came in, handed Junior my keys and we went over the offer and within 10 minutes Junior had the offer approved, trade in value determined and we were set to go.It felt like a safe/comfortable place that you wouldn't expect should feel that way. I love my new car and highly encourage everyone to go there!

We really enjoyed our experience at Cityside. From the moment we walked in, we were never pressured into any car. Everyone was very easy-going and happily answered our questions. Within minutes of discussing options, we were already on a test drive! The people here really wanted to know what we were looking for and what they could do to help, not force anything they had on us. The buying process easy and certainly better than dealing with the RMV ourselves. After we had made a deal they took care of everything and walked us through all the systems for our new car. I would definitely consider coming back here to look at more cars in the future.

He is well informed and was able to find the vehicles that met my requirements quickly. He was our advocate when it came to working with the dealership to finalize the vehicle that we wanted. It was the first time I felt completely at comfortable at a dealership and felt that they were on our side in deciding on the best vehicle and cost for our family.

As a first time solo car buyer, I was very nervous about navigating the car buying and negotiating process. Luck was on my side when I first walked into Cityside Subaru and Flavio greeted me. From the very beginning, he was calm, patient, and didn't put any pressure on at all. When I purchased, I didn't feel like he was "trying to put on over on me." I walked away feeling like I had paid a fair price for my car, and that I had received a good price for my trade-in.He was also extremely helpful when I picked up the car and walked me through all of the features - he even offered to take photos of my and my shiny new car for my Instagram!Overall, I loved working with Flavio and the Cityside Subaru team.

I had a terrific experience working with Pete at Cityside. He's awesome - authentic, trustworthy, and knowledgable. I went in not knowing if I wanted a new Outback or a "new used". I ended up buying a fully loaded certified 2014 Outback at a great price. I never felt any pressure whatsoever from Pete to buy "new" vs. "new used", in fact, I have no idea which type of sale would have earned him the most. I felt that he was helping me make the best decision for me. He was very patient and although it was a very busy day, I never once felt rushed - we walked all around the premises looking at different cars, colors etc. Once I decided on a car, he went to work on getting me a great price and also arranged to have the car certified. And to top it off, he is just the nicest guy ever. I picked up the car with my 18 year-old daughter and we actually had a lot of fun while Pete was walking us through all the features. I am very happy with my sales experience and with my new car - thanks Pete!

You know how you hate to buy a car? Well Peter Rosenberg at Cityside Subaru made it not only painless, but actually fun. Seriously. He's a quirky (in a good way), genuine guy, who has a different approach to selling cars. He takes the time to get to know you in order to meet your needs. I couldn't have been a more indecisive customer, and Peter was almost like a pal, really trying to help me figure out what was most important to me in a car. Better yet, even after I bought the (used) car, he was immediately responsive to the remaining questions and concerns I had. He truly went above and beyond the call of duty, making sure the car was in top shape, as attentive as he was before the sale. Good friends referred me to Peter, and I'd refer him to others in a heartbeat. Thanks Peter-I love my car!

Last month my husband and I stopped in to Cityside Subaru. We were in the market for a new car, and safety was our main concern. We were fortunate to have worked with Peter Rosenberg. He's a very nice person, and treated us like honored guests. He listened as I talked about our safety concerns, and he asked us about our preferences in the size and style of a vehicle. He introduced us to the Crosstrek, a very nice looking car with industry top safety ratings., Peter is not a high pressure- or any pressure salesman. He provided us with an education , and did not try to directly sell us a car, just having an enjoyable interaction and have our questions answered seemed to please him. It was evident that he was proud of his company, and the cutting edge design and safety of the Crosstrek model.(and what could be more important.) The test drive was fun- this car handles so well. And Peter knows where to drive around Belmont to experience all the car has to offer. We left with all of the information we needed , and no pressure to buy a car. Wow. When we did decide that this was the car for us, we texted Peter , and he searched and found us the exact model and color we asked for- We chose white, and it is beautiful......And after buying the car, Peter spent even more time with us than before we bought It, giving us a thorough orientation. . After we'd had the car for a few weeks we loved it so much that we replaced our other( different make) car with ANOTHER Subaru Crosstrek., this time Peter found one in a handsome 'desert khaki ' color with a black interior. . So now we're a 2 Subaru family . Thanks so much to Peter Rosenberg and the Cityside Suvaru family !

I cannot thank Mark Foresta enough for all that he did to help me purchase and feel great about my very first, brand new Impreza. He guided me and made things happen every step of the way, was always patient with me, and continued to offer support and guidance following the purchase. I was impressed that Mark had extensive knowledge about the product as well as auto mechanics in general; this combination allowed him to be responsive to my many questions! I am now an enthusiastic Subaru owner and attribute this to Marks focus on addressing my customer needs, and always exhibiting professionalism, integrity, and excellent customer service.

When I first sat down at Peter Rosenbergs desk, I noticed a poster on the wall. It is a 6-petal purple flower titled Karma of Service. I thought to myself, this is not a typical poster people would see in a car dealership. My experience in the next few days interacting with Peter had proved that he indeed is not your typical salesman! I went in City-side one day in August to browse for a used car for my daughter while waiting for my own 2001 Forester being serviced. Peter came up to me and started working with me to identify our needs. He is a good listener and very patient. He helped me to narrow down a few vehicles to test drive and he answered all my questions on each vehicle over the next few days. I ended up buying the very first car (a 2013 Impreza) Peter had recommended. Although there are other more expensive cars in the inventory, Peter knows this car fits our needs the best. Both my daughter and I have been enjoying it since. Peter also is great in following up. He called a few days after we picked up the car to see if we have any further questions. Then one day he sent us a Thank You card. And guess whats on it? Karma of Service! Thank you Peter, for providing your customers with great, non-typical service.

I was dreading going to buy a new car, but much to my surprise, the experience was great. Tom Alessandro was the perfect match for me. He was knowledgeable, funny, and a complete pleasure to work with throughout the process. I wound up buying a Subaru Forester XT Touring that first day and drove it off the lot a few days later. He is a real gem. I had an equally good experience with Michael Nelson for financing and documentation.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience with Cityside Subaru. We were considering both the 2017 Forester and 2017 Outback. The dealership was clean and comfortable. The test-drive experience was very relaxed - no sales rep in the car and our parents could ride along with us. Dan Rzepnicki was very friendly. He explained all the options and helped us pick the car that was right for us. He was available to answer questions by phone/text. Dan was not too pushy about making the sale. When it was time to negotiate a deal, he made the experience almost stress-free. When we picked up our new car, all of the features were explained. Overall, Dan went out of his way to ensure that our car-buying experience was as easy and pleasant as possible.

I had previously purchased a Subaru Forester from Cityside Subaru in 2010. I had a great experience with Peter Rosenberg, who was so different from other car salespeople that I had dealt with who were rude, condescending, and pushy. Peter was very kind, considerate, not at all pushy, and seemed to genuinely care that I was happy with my car purchase. When I needed another car after my Forester was totaled in an accident, I called the dealership and asked if Peter was still working there. Luckily, I had the pleasure of doing business with him again last month when I purchased a 2016 Crosstrek. Once again, Peter was very easy to work with and I felt very comfortable with him. Another thing about Peter is that he cares about his customers even after the sale is made, and I wouldn't hesitate to contact him with any questions about my Crosstrek. I trust Peter and would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to purchase a Subaru.

My family and I had the pleasure of working with Dan Rzepnicki. I came in knowing what model I wanted, and Dan made the process as quick and easy as possible. He was very helpful and always responsive when I had questions. He made sure I was aware of all of the car's features as well as how to handle any required maintenance. I am currently enjoying my new car and couldn't have been happier with my experience at Cityside.

I worked with Dan Rzepnicki, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Dan almost always got back to me right away, and he made sure I felt comfortable throughout the process, as it was my first time buying a car. He was proactive about telling me everything I needed to know about the car buying experience, and he was always patient and pleasant to work with.

Dan Rzepnicki was great to work with. No pressure -- straightforward, and helpful. Before the sale, he patiently helped us determine which model would best meet our priorities. Since the sale, he has given just the right amount of information about important/useful features in the car and how they work. Would definitely work with him again.We were not as pleased with the negotiations for our trade-in. Unlike with the new car, our sense is that the dealership was less interested in a fair deal for both parties, and more interested in making as much money as possible. Much more adversarial on the trade-in (and much less pleasant)

Buying a car is stressful under any circumstances. I had previously purchased a Forester from Cityside in 2005, so when that car was showing signs of wanting to be put out to pasture I started shopping around Boston-area dealers for a replacement Forester. Although I contacted numerous dealers, I wound up back at Cityside. Their price was fair, and the salesman I was assigned, Peter Rosenberg, was warm, personable and showed a sense of humor that I think is probably quite rare in the business. He listened carefully to what I wanted, then steered me to what he thought would fit my needs. He arranged for me to drive three cars, then even loaned me one for a few hours so I could take it home to show my family. In the end, he bargained fairly and I got the car I wanted (a new Forester) in the color my wife and daughter wanted (Jasmine Green) within the necessary time span (two days). Everyone walked away happy.

The purchase was o.k of my first Subaru. However, o.k went to poor in little time; My experience with sales and service since has been unprofessional and disorganized. The sales manager when asked questions is arrogant, angry, condescending and quite rude with no regard for the customer. My first appt. with service, an hour drive, wasn't listed upon arrival was poor. Then, when I read the needless and wasteful amount of thick paper in the Subaru book (environmentalists take note!)and couldn't find a basic answer to a problem (troubleshooting)when stuck, I asked a salesperson to find the answer in the book which he could Not Find because it doesn't exist. No-one in sales reads the Subaru book given to new buyers, a reflection of what to expect. The dealership prefers to have customers phone, a nice thought but not realistic in a 24 hour day and traveling. Then, if you are told the wonders of Subaru road service, know it is NOT; Keep your AAA for reliable road assistance. This dealership is a disappointment. Take your business elsewhere.

We had done our homework and knew exactly which car we wanted - a Subaru Legacy sedan with all the bells and whistles. We just needed to test drive it to make sure. We arrived one hour before the dealership closed and, with Pete's help, were able to fit in a very short test. It had been 11 years since we bought a car & the whole experience has changed! Pete encouraged us to use TrueCar.com and come back if we were interested. We really liked his low key, no pressure, friendly approach so we returned the following weekend &, after a longer test drive, were able to seal the deal. We got the car we wanted at the price we wanted for the new car & our trade-in. All in all, a pleasant experience. We would highly recommend Pete at Cityside Subaru!

The most memorable experience I had was when I was first welcomed by Flavio at CitySide Subaru. I told him what I was looking for, a sporty car which engaged all my senses. He went out and got me the keys to a BRZ and a WRX with a short throw shifter and gave me the keys. I was amazed by the quality of customer service and trust. I've never been treated so well by any dealership. I looked around a bit to understand the prices. But man these guys blew me away with the pricing. It was an awesome deal in the end. I had some issues with the financing, but Flavio held his own and stuck with me to the end and stood by his word. Since then he has always treated me like a V.I.P and I absolutely love him for that. Your the man Flavio! I then decided I wanted Subaru's flagship and decided with the WRX STi and not the WRX.

Flavio was completely on board with my interest in a particular car in their inventory and made it available for a test drive. He was supportive, informative and completely okay that I knew what I was interested in buying. He did not pressure me on any aspects of my purchase plan. He was an excellent communicator and I felt completely comfortable with his information and support for the purchase.

After my first and incredibly easy and painless car buying experience back in 2012, I decided to return to Peter to help me with a second car purchase. Once I told Peter what I was looking for, a great used car, he was on the hunt for me! I trust Peter so much so, based on my previous car buying experience and his follow-up, that I didnt even see the car before purchase. As expected, Peter delivered the most perfect used Forester. Throughout the process, Peter made me feel at ease by making each step completely transparent. Let me say that I am not even a person who enjoys driving and I absolutely LOVE this car. Peter is, not only an excellent salesman, but a wonderful, professional, intelligent, and trustworthy human being. Buying from Peter not only promises an excellent car and experience, of course, but a meaningful connection with a professional who truly cares about the customers best interest.

We just purchased our new 2016 Subaru Forester at Cityside Subaru, and the buying experience was excellent, like our first time here in 2008. This Forester was an anniversary present for my wife, so the timing and setting up of the surprise was very important. Mark Lidano was extremely flexible and helped me with the whole process. He was very accommodating and respectful, and I did not feel pressured at any time. The negotiations were were very quick, and I did not see any of the "car salesman tricks" being played. From start to end, the price offer, counter offer and signing took about 10 minutes. They also offered a fair trade-in price for our 2009 Forester, which we had purchased from Cityside Subaru as well. We closed on a Sunday and picked up the car the next day with plates, registration and all paperwork ready.

I went through my insurance company's car buying service with upfront pricing. Cityside quoted me the lowest price and had the color car I preferred. Once I got to the dealership, working with Junior to close the deal was easy and straightforward. There were no big surprises. I went in for a test drive on Friday and picked up the car on Monday. There were a couple minor glitches that I created myself - for example, expired registration - and Junior and the rest of the staff were very helpful at working through these issues and suggesting solutions.

We recently purchased an Outback from Cityside Subaru. Mark Foresta was our sales consultant. He is exceptionally knowledgeable about the various Subaru models and has a down-to-earth personality. Discussions were straightforward and when we decided to schedule time to meet again to talk seriously about purchasing a car, he was waiting for us when we arrived at the dealership. Our desired car was not in stock, but the managers located the exact car we desired within 48 hours and delivered it 24 hours later. We did not have to compromise on any features. On top of that, the pricing for the car, maintenance and extended service agreements, and financing far exceeded our expectations (i.e. much lower costs) due to Mark's guidance and that of Mike, the finance manager. Delivery of our Outback went very smoothly as Mark spent plenty of time going through all of the gadgets. He even set up the links to our cell phones. BTW, the commercials say it all: "we love our Outback". My wife and I purchase new cars and generally keep our cars for an average of 6 - 8 years, and this is my 6th new car purchase. Overall, this (my first Subaru) was the best purchasing experience I have had thus far.

What I don't like about some dealers is that they try to wear you down by dragging out the negotiation and making you talk to a million people. Or they agree on a price then add in extra costs at the last minute for rediculous things like floor mats. Dan was friendly, knowledgeable and straight forward, we got to a deal that I was happy with quickly, and there were no surprises later on. We left with a car and a deal that we are very happy with, and we will be happy to come back again.

I travel a lot for work so I did a lot of my initial car shopping online and through e-mail, and then narrowed in which dealerships I wanted to go to in person. After going to 2 other Subaru dealerships in the area and getting a bit of the run around (stereotypical car sales business that makes me crazy), I went to Cityside and worked with Junior who made things so easy. He honored the quote I was given online, down to the remote start (the other two dealerships did not honor the quote....) and got me price I was happy with for my trade in. I got exactly the car I wanted at a price I wanted, and didn't have to go through all the hassle and games most dealers play. Love my new Subaru, thanks Junior!

I wanted to get a new car, a Subaru specifically, but I wasn't sure whether I would prefer the Impreza or the Crosstrek. I walked into the dealership just to look at the cars and Glen helped me weigh the advantage of one car over the other and ultimately gave me all the information I needed to figure out what car would be best for me. Even though I told Glen right away that I am not going to by anything now, he took the time to show me around.I made an appointment a few weeks later to come in to buy a car. From my previous experiences with other dealerships, I basically prepared for battle. This was utterly unnecessary. It was the smoothes, most pleasant and respectful experience ever. I feel like a got a fair price for the new car and the most value from the old one. Glen explained all the important features but was also aware that I wasn't interested to spend all day at the dealership.

Here is what I would like to say about Peter Rosenberg: it was my lucky day when he was randomly assigned to me to follow up on my inquiry about a 2016 Outback. I react rather badly to high pressure sales tactics (Ive experienced them in the past) and was beyond relieved when it became readily apparent that Peter is completely low-key in his approach. Which is not to say that he lacks enthusiasm in fact it just bubbles over, as he loves Subarus and is extremely knowledgeable. He had me test drive both a Forester and an Outback, just to compare the two both great cars, but I immediately felt at home in the Outback - so we proceeded from there. Peter made the entire transaction stress-free, no small accomplishment since buying a car is by nature (at least for me) stress-inducing. I cant say enough good things about this not your typical car salesman its the secret of his success!

I contacted Cityside Subaru as my family prepared to move to Massachusetts from Taiwan. I had used them before for service on an old car and liked the place. The call was answered by Peter Rosenberg, to whom I explained our special situation. We wanted to test drive models at Taiwan dealerships, but purchase the car from them and handle the whole transaction over the internet from half way around the world. Peter was very helpful throughout the process, understood our situation and respected our time and schedules. By the time the day came to pick up the car, everything was ready (car, transaction details, registration, inspection, etc), the car (2016 Outback) is great, and Peter took the time to explain the features and provide some tips and tricks. Since I had only half a day to handle this whole thing, I was nervous that it would work out. Peter made sure all the details were taken care of. It was a pleasure to do business with Cityside and Peter in particular.

We are the type of people who wait until we really need a car before we buy. Then, we typically go in already knowing what we want. In fact, without hassles or pressure the dealership let us wander the dusty corners of the sales lot to find just the car we wanted. We remembered that six years ago when I purchased my Subaru with the salesman, Peter Rosenberg, that the experience was had been a very good one. Naturally we requested working with him again this time to buy my husband's car and made an appointment. What is great about working with Peter at Cityside is that he makes the experience fun. He is relaxed and has a great sense of humor. He listens well and does not pressure us into buying more than we need. Everything went very smoothly. The paperwork was also very smooth with Mike.

After years of awful car buying experiences, we received a call from Dan Rezpnicki at Cityside, who noted that our lease was about to expire. We already knew what car we wanted. Dan arranged all the details, including a very fair transaction, before we came in. Our in-person experience was nothing short of remarkable. Dan was fun to work with and ensured that all the paperwork, etc,. went smoothly. The finance guy was great, too. (John?) Dan sat in the car with us and covered every function. He set up our GPS home location, paired our phones and set up our favorite radio stations, and reviewed every function button in the car, patiently explaining all. He truly wanted us to be happy and provided his contact info, including his cell phone number, so we could call with any questions or issues. We not only drove off with the exact car we wanted, we had a great time getting it. I can't recommend them enough.

The last time I bought a car (my first Subaru), I used an elaborate Internet request for proposal process with regional Subaru dealers. This time, I wanted to keep it short and sweet. My son needed a car so he was going to get my old Subaru with its new clutch, while I was torn between buying a Forester or a Crosstrek. At CitySide, Peter was free so he arranged for a test drive. He let me take several cars out without coming along. That way I could get a feel for the cars instead of hearing a rundown of auto features. Deciding on the Crosstrek, I looked at dealers online who had the Crosstrek with the color and options I wanted. When I emailed Peter back, his offer was attractive and hassle-free. Peter is a great communicator who meshes customer preferences with dealer possibilities, without belaboring negotiating points. Once I'd bought my car, his explanation of the car's less obvious features was truly superb and efficient. Thank you Peter and CitySide!

My wife and I have purchased two new Subarus from this dealer, 10 years apart. The most case was in April 2016, when we bought a 2016 Subaru Forester 2.5i Premium. We began considering anew car purchase 2 years earlier, when we initially made contact with our sales rep. We were unsure whether to buy a new or used Subaru. The rep explained the plusses and minuses of each approach. We mulled the issue back and forth, and I'd see the new Subarus during my infrequent service visits with the 1996 vehicle. The rep called us perhaps once during this process--just right, in our view. Finally, when we ready to make a decision, we met with him, test-drove two models (Forester and CrossTrek), and confirmed that we wanted to purchase a Forester. The sales rep explained a currently available special sales price, and, after discussion, agreed to include one or two minor accessories.. There was no haggling, no "I've got to the talk with my manager" disappearances. The deal was fair and straightforward. Ditto with the trade-in. The car was delivered on time and with excellent instruction in the features of the Forester that were new to us (primarily bluetooth connection). The entire purchases was an experience we truly appreciated..

We agreed upon a price range before I went to the dealership and I ended up paying exactly what I wanted to pay. There were no games...just a quick and easy transaction. From start to finish, it only took about 40 minutes to agree on the final price, test drive the car and sign the purchase agreement.The car was ready when promised and the dealership did a great job with the vehicle prep. I would happily recommend Cityside to anyone I know.

From start to finish, this dealership was pleasant, responsive, patient and honest. Mark was very helpful. I bought used (good car!) but initially had issues with it. In a matter of minutes those issues were resolved. Mark picked up quickly that I was "not very experienced" about all this. The patience of Job, answering what, to him, must have been the most ridiculous questions! John in finance has probably not spent more time with any other customer! Again, patient, no pressure, responsive. This is the way car buying was probably meant to be!

Even though I am over 50, this was my first experience buying a new car on my own. I test drove a few other cars which were nice but just didn't have a great fit for me. My friend had purchased a Subaru Outback and loved it. I was also impressed with the great reviews from Consumer Reports. I walked into Cityside and met Peter Rosenberg. He took the time to ask me what I was looking for in my new car and asked if I would drive the Forester first. As soon as we got in the car I loved the visibility which was one of my top concerns. During the test drive Peter reviewed all the features of the Forester that made it such a great car. We returned to the dealership to test drive the Outback. As soon as we got in I felt the difference- the Forester's cabin was boxier and to me roomier. I knew the Forester was the car for me but I want to do a little price checking since I was a Costco member and they have a car buying program. Peter happily wrote down the model of the car that included the options I wanted and said Cityside would match any written price. A week later I was back to test drive the car. Peter gave me the keys and told me to be back in an hour. I came home and made sure my two dogs could fit in the back comfortably and I could fit my hockey bag and stick. I even took my 18 year old for a test drive. I have now had my car for about a month and I am loving it! I have already recommended Peter to a number of friends who are interested in getting a new car. He makes the whole car buying process a breeze!

My second car died while out of town. Text to Peter, set up a time for Saturday morning, came in and he had both the car we requested waiting for a test drive, and one we weren't looking at. We ended up going with the one he had instinctively knew we would want.We've now bought two cars from Peter, and I expect we'll be back for the next one. Buying a car is stressful...nothing Peter could do would change the nature of large purchases. But he made it as easy as possible, and was a really good advisor.Negotiating price was easy--Peter's first offer was quite fair, and right in the sweet spot of where our research said what we should pay.I rarely post reviews. Peter is the exception.

I have had a Subaru in my life since at least 1991: Outback, Legacy, Forester x 2, Impreza. It's hard to look at other makes (and I tried) after studying Consumer Reports and after owning a Subaru. Somewhere during those years I discovered Cityside. It is my go-to place for two reasons: Peter Rosenberg and their service department. Both I trust. From Peter I have purchased new as well as used Subarus. My latest purchase was a few weeks ago. Peter asks questions and listens carefully to what I need in a car, he negotiates fairly (I do my homework before that step), and he makes the buying experience enjoyable. Likewise, the service department fixes only what needs fixing and takes the time to educate me a bit on the inner workings of a great car, whatever the model. Cityside has it all.

I bought a new Crosstrek 3 months ago and I love it. I was in a weird spot coming into the dealership because I haven't bought a new car in 10 years and the only reason I needed a new one is because I got into a bad car accident the day before. This is where Peter came in and saved the day. I knew I wanted a Subaru from the start, just didn't know which kind. With Peter's extensive knowledge, along with his extreme patience and understanding, I was able to pick the car perfect for my lifestyle. It was so easy to work with him because I was able to talk to him as a friend, rather than a sales-person. Peter listened to exactly what I needed in a car and asked the right questions so I can come to my own conclusion of what I actually wanted. I was able to test drive several cars, several times just to make sure I found my fit. You know how after a really bad accident people are scared to drive again? Peter did the exact opposite for me - he helped me find such a good fit for a car, that I was never nervous driving it. I think that is what I'm most grateful for. I love, LOVE my car and I'm super appreciative for Peter's help in the buying process.

I have been buying cars for 50 years. I do my homework, then get ready for the negotiation battle. I was switching from Toyota and wanted the Outback. As usual, I did my homework, then called Cityside and talked to Tom DAlessandro. There was no battle - I told him what I wanted and he checked inventory and I picked a car. We did a quick negotiation and closed the deal - over the phone! I wish all my previous car buying experiences were this easy. When I picked up the car, Mike Buono handled the paperwork. No gimmicks. I highly recommend Cityside Subaru.

Cityside made buying my first car such a great experience. I had a very short time to find and buy a car (I won't go into all the details) and needed to do everything via phone and email. Rob helped me find the exact Outback I wanted, in the color I wanted. And unlike other dealerships in the area, he let me put down a downpayment on it with a credit card over the phone (shocking that others wouldn't do it, and wanted me to travel 35+ min each way to come down just to run a card). When the time came to pick it up, they were really flexible and helped me get it a day earlier than planned. And their exceptional service didn't end there. The day of the pick up they walked me through everything - all the paperwork, all the additional services (starlink, etc) and all the features of the vehicle. I cannot recommend Cityside enough and will be a long time customer of theirs.

This is the first time I've ever bought a car, and Dan made it easy. I knew I wanted a Subaru, and he helped me find the right one for my needs. He let me and my boyfriend test drive 3 different cars and was more than happy to spend as long as we needed with him answering all our questions. He didn't pressure us to purchase, but shared everything he knew about what was available and what was possible as far as pricing. After speaking with other dealerships, I knew I'd rather purchase from Dan and he made that possible as well finding the perfect car for us.Once we were able to pick up the car, we then worked with John to figure out additional warranties. I'm not sure I'll need to additional options I purchased, but made sense to play it safe since this is the first time I've bought a car. He also required me to leave a check for $1,000 since I didn't have the title for the car I was trading in at the moment. That seemed excessive since it'd cost $50 to replace if I hadn't found it (which I did and bought in as soon as I could). For these reasons, I didn't feel like John was working in my best interests and took advantage of my inexperience. Although he was very polite.

This dealership and Danny Zip Rzepnicki in particular were fantastic resources during the car-buying process. We had many questions and points of comparison and Danny Zip took the time to explain the options and think through the comparisons. Of course, Subaru won our business in the end. We were looking for a safe, roomy, reliable, utilitarian vehicle and only wanted to deal with forthright and patient dealers. Subaru and the Crosstreck met and exceeded our expectations. Our new car is extraordinarily safe. It almost drives itself on the highway with the eye sight technology and adaptive cruise control. It gives a second read on these possible locations for surrounding cars- in front, in blind spots, and behind. Thank you for helping to keep our family safe and sound on the road!

I am an unabashed Subaru devotee. When my 2002 Subaru Outback wagons transmission began to complain of old age (after 14.5 years of rock-solid reliability amid lots of short trips, I can hardly blame it), I knew it was time to replace it with the current model. When I called CitySide, the ball on the roulette wheel landed on Peter Rosenberg, and Im really glad it did, because Peters self-styled tagline is accurate - he is not your typical car salesman. Hes quirky, interesting, expressive, engaging, has a great sense of humor, and in the game that is negotiating a new car sale, he is fair-minded, transparent, forthright, and accommodating. I really like that he has a wealth of life experience and came to sales from a completely different career I think it gives him a perspective and wisdom that serves him extremely well. As a photographer who has done a great deal of portrait work, he used and developed his natural skills in reading people and getting in sync with them in a genuine way that greatly facilitates the deal process in his second act. Buying my new car from Peter was a pleasure and a singular experience. I look forward to buying another one from him in 15 years! ; )

I recently picked up my pre-owned Subaru from CitySide, and I'm very pleased with how everything went. As a first-time car buyer, I feared the worst. Car dealerships do get a bad rap, after all. But my experience at CitySide was really excellent. I worked primarily with Mark Lidano. Throughout the process, he was easygoing, knowledgeable, and flexible. I never felt pressured in the least. Mark was prompt in resolving the couple of issues I identified during test drives. To do so, he worked closely with the service department and always kept me informed. He didn't mind when my "attention to detail" -- Mark's polite term for what he might justly have called my fastidiousness -- required additional visits to the service department before I was satisfied. In the end, everything was handled perfectly, and I went home happy in my new wheels. I thank the team at CitySide, and especially Mark, for making this car-buying experience a smooth one. Highly recommended!

We recently bought a new 2016 Forester from Junior. He was very knowledgable, flexible and relaxed. While we were researching cars, he kept in touch with us throughout the process, but without being pushy or over eager. When it came time to choose the exact car from inventory and discuss the price, he was very fair and easy to work with. Overall we were really impressed with his friendly professionalism and have already recommended him to several friends.

We purchased an Impreza in May of 2015 from Dan. It went really well. We decided we wanted another car, went in to see Dan in March. We drove 2 models, and picked the Crosstrek. We we able to painlessly agree on the price. We went on vacation and left it to Cityside to find the car and do the work. When we got back the exact car we wanted was ready. There was a small misunderstanding about price. Dan got it resolved quickly and with no hysterics. I really appreciate dealing with mature respectful adults when buying a car. The experience is good enough to bring us there twice. For this purchase experience I would gladly drive past several other dealers!

Over the past 20 years I have owned or leased three Subarus. When nearing the end of our last lease in February, I was frustrated with a Boston area Subaru dealer who was not returning calls when I inquired about buy-out/new lease options. I then called Cityside. They listened to my questions and took the time to give me the information I needed to make a decision. The entire lease negotiation process, was a great experience. The sales staff, initially Darren and then Glen, were professional, courteous and knowledgeable about options available. We ended up leasing a customized model directly from the factory and we're regularly updated on delivery date and other details. When the time came to pick-up our new Outback, Michael, the Finance Manager guided us through the transaction efficiently and competently. Our sales rep, Glen was terrific with walking us through all the car's features and maintenance options. We never felt rushed and the entire transaction took less than one hour! Cityside did everything they said they would do. If what we experienced over the past two months is any indication on we can consistently expect, then Cityside will have another loyal customer.Alphonse LitzBoston

I had a screw in one of my tires. I am a very loyal customer of Cityside Subaru, so I brought it in to have them check the tire. Nick in the Service Dept. was great!! He said it just needed a plug, they were able to do it while I waited and charged a very reasonable price. I am always treated great at Cityside!! I have dealt with Nick before and he always is very helpful. I highly recommend Cityside for their service, as well as for new car purchases!!!!!!!

We stopped on to the lot last Saturday to check the window sticker of a Forester, not planning to stay for more than a few minutes, but when Pete and greeted us and began showing us around the car, his easy-going disposition and impressive knowledge converted us from (very) casual shoppers to committed buyers. I never once felt pressured, more like things were just falling into place. The dealership was willing to work with us so that we got the car that we needed for the price that we needed and respected our budget concerns and priorities throughout the process. Additionally, once we purchased the car, Pete stayed with me for over 2 hours, showing me all the in's and out's of the car and getting all of the systems programmed and working so that when I drove away, I didn't have to do anything else-- not even fill the tank with gas or set the radio stations. These guys really care about their customers, not just as customers, but as people, and it is apparent that they do everything they can to make the entire process-- not just the sale, but the actual ownership as well-- as congenial and stress-free as possible. In short, they are in it with you for the long-haul, and in a world of short-term turn-around and disposable everything, the difference is everything.

The lease on our auto was ending in a couple of months and we had started to think about our next move. We had decided that whatever we did it had to be an all wheel drive, which narrowed our choices a little. After a lot of online research, we narrowed our options for test driving to the CR-V, a Jeep, and the Subaru. Pete Hartelius, the sales rep who worked with us, was terrific in asking us what our needs were and ultimately helping us to select a Forester as the best choice for us. We would say we now have a car with more technology than we knew existed, especially in the safety area, but we are very glad we opted to go for it. I agree with many published reviews of the car that it offers outstanding value. You get a lot for your money. Pete even helped us "pair" our cell phone before we left, as well as showing us how all the new gadgets worked.

Working with Glen on rolling into a new lease was easy. He knew what I wanted, worked with me to get a good price, and was accommodating on pickup time. When the time came to turn in my old vehicle and pick up the new one, Glen took no more than 5 minutes of my time and then got everything squared away while I had a cup of coffee on a couch. Simple.

I brought my Forester in as three trouble lights went on and the car is less than a year old.I brought the car in and was told they would probably need to replace a switch. When I spoke to service the service person said that the codes were reset and it was good to go. I explained I was going away with the car and was reassured it was fixed. I picked the car up and the next day the lights went on in the middle of a highway. Brought the car in when I returned and was told they had needed to replace the switch bug had none in stock.

Cityside Subaru was highly recommended, yet still managed to exceed expectations. Pete Hartilius was honest and knowledgeable, and helped me find the vehicle I needed at a fair price. Not once did I feel pressured, and he took the time to consider my family's needs in helping us find the right vehicle. I never imagined enjoying the car-buying experience, but Pete is very good at what he does and a pleasure to work with. I strongly recommend Pete and Cityside Subaru.

Junior worked with us over a period of months to sort out which model and year of Subaru we wanted as we said good-bye to our 2002 Outback. He struck the right balance of encouraging without rushing us. In the end we were extremely pleased with the price we paid for our 2016 Crosstrek. We would not have chosen this model without Junior's patient information and assistance. He was very good at walking us through the complicated electronics, offering to give us additional help in the future if we needed it.

We arrived at CitySide late on a Friday afternoon in a tow truck with our 11 year old Forester (and our first baby due any day no less). We had been shopping around for a new car for a while and the old Forester forced our hand that day. Pete brought us right in and went above and beyond - he literally sprinted around the dealership to get everything done in time for us to drive away that night in our new car. Regardless of the tight spot we were in, we left CitySide having had a wonderful buying experience. On top of that, the service on our old Subaru was incredibly reasonable, fast, and everyone at the service desk was friendly and very knowledgeable. We will definitely take our Subarus back to CitySide for any maintenance. All in all, a great find. We feel very confident in recommending CitySide to anyone.

I highly recommended Cityside Subaru for regular or unexpected service on your Subaru vehicle. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and my service was completed on-time. I dropped my car off when the service department opened (7am) and was contacted by service techs throughout the day if an issue came up with my Forester. In short, they checked with me before performing costly or complicated repairs. I have taken my Forested to Cityside many times in the past and will do so again in the future.

I arrived not knowing what type of Subaru I wanted and Tom was very patient while explaining to me all the differences between the models and i took each one for a test drive to see what I thought. I was not planing on buying a car that day and I felt no pressure from Tom or anyone to "close" a deal during that visit. After much though I returned and bought a new Subaru Forester. I thought the price was very fair and never felt any pressure to "upgrade" or purchase any services that I did not want or need. I would recommend Tom to anyone who is looking for a Subaru. Thank you.

My nearly-three-year-old leased Subaru Forester had a catastrophic brake failure that thankfully resulted in no injuries. I was shocked, as I've been driving Subarus for the last 16 years and have never had a service issue so huge and, quite frankly, scary. I had AAA tow my car to Cityside Subaru as it was the closest dealership to where my undriveable car was. I called the service center to give them a heads up and was assured that it would be a priority the next day. The brake failure happened on a Tuesday. At the end of the business day Wednesday, I still had heard nothing, so I called back. I was told that it hadn't even been looked at yet. They kept getting my name wrong. Thursday...same thing. Finally I speak to a representative (I had to call them, they never called me) who told me that it was going to cost me over $1,000 to fix, even though my car was under warranty. I had literally been planning to trade my car in for a new Subaru that weekend, so I told them to do the minimum work (still nearly $900). I was never called to say the work was completed, but finally reached someone on Saturday who let me know I could pick it up. When we get the bill, we see that the major part we are not being charged for is due to a RECALL. A little research shows this part malfunctioning caused the rest of the brake failure, yet that was not covered. I am obsessive about safety and my car, and keep all paperwork associated with it, including printing out all emails. I went through every single file and found no notification of a recall. So, no notification, then charged for the parts and services when I could have been killed by this brake malfunction. I was forced to pay the fee to drive the car off the lot, but I called Joe Cisek to contest these charges. I kept calling and got told he would call me back, and no one ever did. Finally, on my 7th (not exaggerating) attempt, I reached him, and he was out of the office and said he'd call me back. I explained the issue to him and he said he'd look into it. I get a call back (finally!) later that day that they would refund me the charges as a "goodwill gesture." While I ultimately got what I wanted, that's no goodwill gesture -- that's covering your own xxx for a HUGE mistake that could have had deadly consequences.Because I have always been in Subarus, I still planned to go to them first now that it was time for a new car (like clockwork, every 3 years, I'm in a new Subaru). Before we headed in I called asking to speak to a salesperson because I had a question about a deal I'd seen online. I told them what I currently pay and what I was looking for. The salesperson ACTUALLY laughed at me. He said that for my price range I could MAYBE get into a manual Legacy. I explained that I'd never had another Subaru dealer tell me that, and that, in fact, his dealership had worked with me before to come in at the price range I was looking at (up from my previous payments to account for inflation). He told me sorry, there was no way he'd ever be able to do that and I should look elsewhere.I took him at his word. The whole experience left me completely disgusted. I've put in a complaint to Subaru corporate, and I've switched my brand loyalty altogether after a wonderfully positive experience at Mazda, where I got all the features I wanted, better ratings in many areas, and a price that was at the same level as my 2013 Subaru. I would not recommend this dealership.

I believe I get good service at Cityside Subaru but they are very slow. I took my car in for an oil change and to rotate the tires and it took two hours! Perhaps this happens because they look for other things wrong with the car so they can offer to fix it ($$$). I would rather they just did the work I asked for in a more timely manner. They do provide a very comfortable waiting area including a quiet area in which to work.

License plate holder fell off front of car (3 months old). Called Sales Rep, who told me to come in lat in afternoon. He alerted Service. They were ready for me and did the quick fix while I waited.Only advice, because it was my first time using service, was that the signage at the bottom of the ramp is misleading. The sign says, "Express Service" with an arrow that points to the left down the driveway behind the building. The service entrance was actually on the left of the ramp going down, before you got to the left turn. I had to wander around for awhile before I figured out where to go.

My car needed the 12 month service and I was told to go to newly opened Express service. Aside from the fact that the designated parking spots were not yet marked, for which I had to park a little bit farther away, service was great. It was super fast. The person at the front desk was very, very polite and explained everything very clearly. The only detail was that the technician did not reset the two warnings the car was showing in the dashboard, so I had to wait a little until the person at the front desk (Alan Thomas) performed the 4-step process to reset them both.

I was a bit disappointed as I had heard the salesman rave about the service department. I came in for the 6,000 mile check-up and told the receptionist that a tire had a leak and that there was a screw or nail in it. When the car was finished I asked if they had plugged it and he said no, but that the service person HAD seen it. So they took it back in and plugged it. I don't understand why they didn't do it in the first place. It didn't inspire too much confidence. I had also thought that the car would be washed and cleaned on the interior, which it was not.On the other hand, everyone was very polite, and the appointment was quick.

I visited Cityside based on a recommendation from a friend who also shopped here. She and her husband loved the friendly, easy attitude of the salesman they worked with (Mark Lidano). All I remember from my last car buying experience (admittedly 9 years ago) was the feeling of being pressured to buying something RIGHT NOW.Working with Mark, he really took the time to understand what I was looking for in a car. Based on that, he provided some recommendations and he did not just limit it to Subarus. He really wanted me to find the right car, not specifically the right Subaru, and he was completely understanding (and encouraged it) when I said I wanted to take some time and think about my options. He welcomed me back (and remembered be!) more than a month later once I had made my decision and felt ready to purchase.The rest of the staff there were also very friendly, acknowledging me within a few minutes of walking in the door and asking if I needed any assistance. The 'paperwork guy' John Melvin was also very helpful in helping me find the right warranty coverage based on my driving habits, instead of trying to push me towards the most expensive package. I left feeling like I had the coverage I needed, without having paid for too much.All in all, it was a really pleasant experience. If I'm looking for another car, I will definitely come back and I highly recommend people at least check out Cityside (and definitely speak to Mark) if they are looking for a low-pressure car buying experience, even if they're not looking for a Subaru.

I've been back to the dealer twice when I had low pressure readings on tires. Our roofers had left nails in the driveway. Cityside looked at the car right away, patched and refilled tires and sent me on my way. This happened again a few months later.

I walked in to CitySide not ready to buy a car until I met Tom as my salesperson. Tom didn't pressure me; however clearly laid out my trade in car and my options for a new car. Tom took the time to run 3 scenarios with me waiting a year, two, and three, while showing me how much my car would depreciate if I waited. He even went over the option of me keeping my old Subaru until it died so I never felt your typical pressure. He then ran many payment scenarios , although we wound up paying cash he took the time to explain all of our options. I left the first visit and Tom didn't try to stop me from leaving and offered me his cell phone so I could reach him anytime. The manager was also came over and was very nice and did not pressure me.Fast forward two weeks and I am now loving my new Forester and Tom has been very responsive to my questions. He didn't forget about me after I drove away which has made appreciate the experience even more..I would recommend CitySide, Tom, and the finance manager (can't remember his name) who got me a great deal on an extended warranty.

We started our 'relationship' when I inherited my mom's old Subaru. I would the Service Department to be excellent. One day while waiting (not too long I might add) I went upstairs to look at the 'new' Subarus. That's when I met Dan Rzepnicki. He and I sat and talked cars, family, computers. Even though he new I was not there to buy a car, we still struck up a friendship on that day.About a year and half later my wife (who commutes a lot) said she wanted a new car. Well I new the car, the dealership, and the guy to get it from. That was in 2012. Since then every time I bring the car in for service, I stop upstairs and check in with Dan.Well finally my minivan reached it's end of life and I was able to get myself a new Subaru. I had so much fun looking at all the options and Dan's honest guidance (you should get this, you don't need that) made the selection and purchase of my new 2016 Subaru Outback quite pleasurable. While I know I'll see Dan when I bring either of the cars in for service, I just hope he is still there when it comes time for us to get our next car. Unfortunately Subarus are so reliable, Dan will be a 'little bit' older when it comes time to buy.Thanks Dan, and Citywide Subaru, for making servicing and buying cars so stress free.Best,Peter Kidwell

Never pushy, always happy to provide exactly what I needed all the way up until the final purchase of my used WRX!One of the guys even gave me a few spare parts for the car because he used to own one. Top notch place to buy a new car if you're looking for a respectful experience, where the dealers will work with you on getting a great price.Managers were kind and didn't strike me as sleezy car guys, which I've encountered during this process. The guy who did my financing was also very good in explaining my options for in house/external financing.Been to about 15 locations while researching my purchase; would definitely recommend starting here for your research and test driving if you want a crew that won't push you too hard. You'll want to follow up there to buy it afterwards, but you won't need me to tell you that.

Took my 2015 Legacy (17k miles) for oil change and tire rotation. In addition, as I have mentioned at every service, THIS car (unlike ALL of my previous cars for the last 40 years) doesn't get anywhere near the gas mileage advertised. In addition, the MPG as measured by the car's own indicators reads consistently a couple mpg higher than the actual measured MPG (I keep track the old fashioned way - with a notebook) No one has ever addressed the issue so I'll have to take it up with Subaru. The only other little problem was to fix the sunglass compartment door (which keeps falling off). They put it back in but it fell off again the next day --- not a big deal, just another trip back to service sometime

Thankfully they were able to take me in but I trip up north was delayed two hours while they trouble shot the issue. The ultimate cause was determined to be too much oil and was addressed. My issue was the additional time I was required to spend to correct the issue. Again they are typically good but this experience was scary and disappointing. RegardsD

The was my first Subaru purchase, and it's partly because Tom made the car-buying experience virtually painless. I couldn't be happier or more appreciative. The dealership in general made me feel more like an old friend than a money bag. Very helpful, friendly people who genuinely want you to feel good about your decision.

Darren Shin is that rare individual who makes buying a car a dream instead of the normal nightmare. He's super smart, kind and has terrific (and real) social skills. We'd already done extensive research and pricing. From the start, it was a pleasure to work with him, something we did over several visits. Couldn't recommend him more highly.

My wife and I recently purchased a new Suburu at Cityside. Darren Shin made the entire car-buying experience enjoyable (even the negotiating!). We found Darren to be honest, professional, and caring. From our initial visit, arranging a test drive despite cold and snow, to making sure the exact car we wanted arrived on-time, to going over the features of the car when we picked it up, Darren Shin consistently went the extra mile to ensure that the car-buying experience went perfectly. We whole-heartedly recommend Darren Shin without reservation!

I used to own a 2012 WRX, also purchased at Cityside Subaru. The overall experience had been fantastic, not in the least thanks to the great lengths that the dealership was willing to go to help me servicing my modified WRX in all kinds of comprehensive ways, never saying a word about the fact that the car was a pretty far cry from stock, which theoretically invalidates your warranty. That 3-year experience left little doubt in my mind that Cityside is the place to go for my next purchase, which ended up being a 2016 BRZ Premium. This time around, I got a great deal on a phenomenal car, including substantial discounts on servicing, prolonged comprehensive warranty, and some nice extras such as the rear spoiler, not to mention great financing conditions - an awesome start to yet another adventure with Subaru. I cannot recommend Cityside Subaru enough, a place where high professional standards meet friendliness and genuine passion for the special kind of a car they offer. In particular, I highly recommend getting in touch with Dan Rzepnicki, he's the person to contact if you're looking for advice on which Subaru would suit your needs and preferences best. Dan will make sure you will find exactly what you're looking for the price it's worth and not a single dollar more.

My 2001 Subaru crapped the bed on a Saturday. I was fortunate enough to live less than 10 minutes from this dealership, and being dependent on my car, I had to act quickly. Derren was a fantastic guide through the whole thing: we never felt rushed or pressures, and every step felt comfortable and fully informed. He never hesitated to answer questions, and kept the whole thing personable and easy. I was driving my new car in less than a week, and I am thoroughly satisfied with it! Highly recommended.

Back in October we worked with Darren on getting the perfect car for us. Darren was able to calmly and personably lead us through the process of test driving, choosing features, purchasing, and financing. We got the car we wanted even though the one we test drove was sold before we finalized our deal. There was no uncomfortable pressure, just a good relaxed discussion of features and price. We were so impressed with how well he and CitySide did with the car that we came back to him to purchase a second car. He was able to save us time and got us a great deal as well. He even entertained our granddaughter while he worked with us. Both times he patiently explained the features of the car and made sure that we were comfortable with our purchase. When we changed our minds about the floor mats to install in the car, he quickly went back to the Parts Department, made the purchase for us and installed them. His flexibility and professionalism in taking care of a customer are outstanding. We are very grateful for his professional help.

So I took my time shopping around at dealerships and settled on Cityside Subaru and worked with Junior.I could not be happier with my decision. I got great new Forester at a fair price at this relaxed and friendly dealership without having to fend off a "hard sell" approach as I have in the past. Junior is friendly, and he was happy to assist me at my own pace to find the right car for me. He's knowledgable, responsive, and respectful of his customers. Again, I'm very happy with my experience here, and, of course, with my brand new Forester!

Dan was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. We had never leased a car before so we were a little cautious going into the whole process, but Dan's expertise and friendly personality quickly put our minds at ease. He went through every step with us and helped us decide exactly which car/model was right for us. Even after leaving the dealership he was more than happy to address all of our questions or concerns over the phone (of which we had quite a few). I've had to deal with my share of dealerships in the past, but doing business with Dan was by far the most pleasant car buying experience I've had. I highly recommend taking a trip to Cityside Subaru if you're looking into buying a Subaru.

My fiance and I worked with Pete H and Michael in finance while shopping for our first car together. They were both incredibly helpful through the process and not pushy at all (likely because Subarus basically sell themselves...this is my 3rd one). Initially we were mostly looking at used Foresters they had in stock (we also were hoping for used Crosstreks but they don't stay in stock very long!). But we ended up going with a new Crosstrek because we just loved the 2016 model so much more and it was in the same price range as most of the used Foresters we looked at. Pete was really great about arranging test drives for us and helping us navigate through all the different option packages (which can be really overwhelming, especially if you're not used to driving cars made after 2004 like me). I've also had my old outback serviced here a couple of times and my positive experiences on that end made me feel like getting a maintenance package for my new car through them a no-brainer. All in all really happy we went through cityside. I had to knock just one star off for quality of work because we were a bit rushed on picking up the car and when they gave it to us after the inspection they got dirt from the shop all over the floor mats...not fun to have to go home and vacuum a new car after you take it off the lot, but again, that had to do more with them trying to beat the clock to get us out of there so i didn't miss a meeting and i'm sure it was just an oversight on their end.

Glen and Cityside provided a fantastic buying experience. Least stressful ever. We agreed on the car, the options and the price online. When I went in, they stuck right to the deal we made with no attempts to change and no hidden markups. I came with online valuation sheets for my trade-in and they matched one. My car was a factory order with a very particular option bundle and they handled everything smoothly and the car arrived slightly ahead of schedule. When my car arrived, they arranged for financing with a better rate than my own credit union. They also took care of the RMV work right on site at the dealership. Everyone was friendly and laid back. I'm already in my new car and, for the first time ever, the whole process was a breeze.

Hi: On a whim, I dropped into Cityside on a Sat. afternoon when I happened to be in the area (I live about 30 miles away) as my first 6,000 mile maintenance was about due. As it turned out, they could service my Impreza right then and I was in and out in about 35 minutes. Service manager was pleasant, straightforward and professional, waiting area was comfortable and clean. My car came out shinier than it went in (exterior was washed.) So now my Impreza looks as great as it runs. Thanks, Cityside. .

My husband and I originally came in for a test drive, expecting to buy the car from a different dealership where we had a personal contact. We were pleasantly surprised by our experience with Mark Lidano: he was very helpful and knowledgeable and at no point did we feel like he was pushing us to talk about the actual purchase. His answers always appeared genuine. For instance, I asked him how much of a discount we can expect to get on a new car purchase, and he gave us the number that was in line with the discount from our friend at the other dealership. In the end, he assured us that he would match the price that we receive anywhere else. We ended up purchasing the car from him, and one month into it, have no regrets. One thing to note though is that I was disappointed with the John Melvin on the finance team. He pushed on us a few insurance products that we ended up signing up for after he promised us that we could change our minds within 90 days. After some research, it turned out that the insurance products were grossly overpriced. We tried cancelling, but he wouldn't return our calls. In the end, I resorted to contacting Mark Lidano, who offered to cancel them on our behalf. The cancellation was finalized a few days later. Overall, we had a great experience. If you go in, make sure you ask for Mark Lidano and try to stay away from John Melvin or at least take his advice with a grain of salt.

Recently I bought a Subaru Legacy from this location and since then I have regretted it. When I first bought the car, I was told it had 60 somthing odd miles on it, that it was a car transferred from another location. This already didn't sit well with me because I wasn't told it would be driven to your location from another location. At this point, I should have requested to wait for a car coming off the flatbed truck on the 20th of this month. My car has had noise issues since I drove it off the lot the first day. I even brought it back the next day and was told it sounded normal but scheduled an appointment with the service agent just in case. The noise became more frequent by the time my appointment came up. At my appointment, they made some adjustments to the rotor and during the test drive it wasn't making a sound by the end of the day it was starting to make the noise again. Now, a week later, the rotors have flat spots and they're creating a humming sounds and a jerking feeling while stopped and once they are heated up. The jerking makes me and my passages have nausea. I haven't had this car for a month yet and am bringing this car back for a 3rd time, second official service. I hate being told nothing is wrong and being sent home and having the issues arise again. I have taken people, who know about cars, for multiple test drives and have told me they notice the problems my car has. I also test drove another 2016 Subaru, my family member bought at Wakefield, and it does not make the same sounds or jerky movements that mine does. I simply want what I paid for, and that's a nice new working car. I honestly wish I bought my car at Wakefield instead. I am sorry but it's how I feel. Your empliyees are really nice and I do commend you for that. My poor rating does not reflect my personal experience with the sales or service customer rep but I do wish I held off buying this car. I am tired of being sent home and the issue not resolved. I am tired of having to reschedule appointments and work to deal with these issues. By this point I just want my rotors and breaks replaced and the issue resolved. I also don't believe I should be charged for something that shouldn't have been an issue to begin with.

They answer questions, they explain problems, and they don't try to "upsell" the customer. When I needed to have something replaced instead of repaired, they found the right parts at reasonable prices. On the most recent repair, they discounted the labor so that the bill wouldn't knock me out. I only wish the location were closer to home.

Their great for simple things, oil changes, and engine repairs. Unfortunately I have not had good luck when it comes to body related repairs. Some of the technicians clearly do not understand how disassemble and reassemble the various body assemblies. For example the last time I was in I wanted a piece of rubber weatherstripping replaced because it was old and cracking. My reward was a cracked body panel. I would have to pay a body shop 400 dollars to fix this damage. In addition the service adviser was rude and unapologetic and did not carry through with his promises when the damage was shown to them.

I had my car towed there because it was the closest Subaru dealership to where my car broke down. They were too busy to look at the car until the next day and wouldn't offer a loaner until they looked at the car. The next morning, I got a call saying the technician drove it and found nothing wrong and I could come pick up the car. I told them something was wrong and did they look under the hood at the engine and they hadn't. All they did was drive it. What? I asked them to take another look and this time look at spark plugs or something that was causing the car to stall. It's a 3 year old car with 33K miles; there's no reason for the engine to falter. Later in the day, I got another call saying another technician drove it and was able to replicate the problem. They said carbon build up in the fuel injector system and that it would cost me $130 to clean out, even though the car was under warranty. I picked up the car and the next day, it promptly broke down again. I brought it to another dealership who didn't immediately find the problem, but didn't feel safe giving it back. They gave me a loaner/rental and kept the car until they fixed it, which required two new sensors and two new injection coils. I don't think Cityside did anything close to what Ira did to figure out what was wrong. Plus, customer service was not customer-focused at all. They didn't care if I drove off with a broken car and didn't care how I got home from the dealer. They were always too busy to look at or fix the car properly. I'll never go back.

I took my Forester in for its regular check and was told that it would take 90 minutes. The service dept rotated the tires, checked all fluids and systems, changed the oil and something else, and had me out of there and back on the road in a little over one hour. I have had this experience every time I have brought my car in, and I certainly appreciate their efficiency. I also appreciate their ability to deal with spontaneous problems. One evening a car passed too close to me while parking and dragged my fender loose. I was afraid it would cost a fortune to repair, but when I got to the shop within half an hour, the supervisor walked out with me, assessed the damage and pushed the fender back in place. It was not damaged after all, and there was no charge for the service. I love this place.

My wife reported this to me. My daughter thought she had damaged a tire. She had the tire taken off by AAA. My wife took the tire to CitySide. They checked the tire, found a broken seal, fixed it and replaced the tire. Reasonable charge and took care of it when my wife brought it in with her waiting a relatively short period of time. Good service.

A nice, straightforward sales experience. They didn't put me through endless negotiating. They started with a fair price, and were willing to accommodate a small price drop. The finance guy offered me a prepaid maintenance package that I did not think was a good deal, but there was zero pressure. Overall, a very good experience. The salesperson was especially good.

This was my first time at CitySide Subaru. I am always hesitant to take my car to the dealership for fear of a higher price tag. Zander worked to ensure that I paid only for the services that my car needed. After having my wheels installed at a box store incorrectly CitySide made sure that the new tires were functional and recommended that the box store help defer the cost of the work. After living in Boston for four years I finally have a mechanic that I can trust!Thank you very much for your work!

I purchased my Subaru new from Cityside and have always had it serviced here. The staff is friendly and helpful. The service center opens early in the morning and closes late in the evening, making it convenient to drop the car off before work and pick it up at the end of the day. Repairs are completed on-time, and the staff always calls to update me if they find something beyond what I expected when I dropped off the car.Cityside's popularity has gone up noticeably in the past year, making it a little tougher to get appointments with short notice. However, calling a week or two in advance of when I'll need normal maintenance has always gotten me a scheduled spot.

I've been a customer at Cityside for nearly three years. I had a very pleasant experience with them purchasing my current car. Two weeks ago, I went in for my 30k mile service. I had spoken to an employee beforehand who had given me the quote for the service. When I brought the car in at 7:15am, I mentioned that within the past 3 months, the bluetooth had started crapping out and I could no longer get a consistent connection to my iPhone 6+. They said the service would take about 4 hours and if I wanted to wait. I declined and took the shuttle to Alewife, with the intention of returning mid-afternoon to pick it up. When I called back at 3pm, the person who answered the phone said that the service hadn't been completed. Not thrilled about that, but fine, things happen. When I finally arrived at 6 to pick up my car, the staff pointed out that my car inspection is out of date. AND that, they intended to bring it to the garage across the street to get it taken care of but the garage had closed at 5pm. While I appreciate the intent, I didn't appreciate that I expected my car to be done late morning or early afternoon (as they had quoted me 4 hours), when it could have had ample for inspection.When I asked about the bluetooth, the staff gave me a canned and seemingly uneducated answer that Subaru doesn't support the model of the phone I have. Which would be a reasonable explanation save that my phone a year and a half old, and worked perfectly with the car for that entire time. The bill, over $500, I have little problem with since that's what they quoted me when I made the appointment. However, the labor costs are not itemized by hour and dwarf the parts costs by 200%. I know it costs good money to take care of my car, but the service was sub-par and to be honest, they don't seem motivated to get my business. There were no attempts made to give me quality customer service and for that, I am going to look elsewhere.

I contacted Subaru America regarding the potential airbag recall for our 2005 Outback and was told the airbag needed to be replaced. I then called Cityside and was given an appointment and told it would take 90 minutes to do the work. I told them I would wait. When I brought the car in for the scheduled service on Thursday I was first told it would be ok to wait, THEN I was told it would take THREE DAYS, as the dashboard needed to be take apart! Also they wanted to know who told me they had the part. After some checking they found the part in stock. This 3 day schedule would have the car back to me on Saturday HOWEVER I was told it would not be ready until WEDNESDAY. Subsequently I had to arrange for a pickup as Cityside did not even offer me a loaner car. After returning home and giving this some though I call Subaru America and was told they would check into it and get back to me that day. Then I received a call back from Cityside Service and was told they would speed up the job and have it ready for Saturday. On Friday at 8:30AM Cityside Service called and told me the Outback was ready to be picked up. When I picked up the car the work order stated the passenger side airbag had been replaced. I also noticed the the dust on the dashboard had not been disturbed. I felt they were going to work on the car at their convenience with no regard for leaving me without my car for almost a week. I consider this very poor customer service!

This is a very busy Subaru service center. My most recent trip would have been unnecessary if they took the time to cross-check or do a final review of the vehicle and all repairs BEFORE they return it to the customer. I had winter tires installed previously and had to come back because they put one of the tires on inside out. They are nice and accommodating when you bring up issues, but I feel like I shouldn't have to double check everything a professional does to my vehicle... I'm just lucky I grew up around cars and mechanics and I know when things aren't working right. I don't know whether they are under-staffed or just disorganized, but I don't prefer this service group.

I bought my Subaru a year ago at CitySide (what a great experience! with Tom DAlessandro) and signed up for the pre-paid plan where all regular service for the first three year is pre-paid at a discounted rate. They send me a reminder email any time my car is up for maintenance, and in just a few clicks I can make an appointment on their website. This time around, it was a week until the next available appointment time (maybe January is a busy month?), but I remember previously I only had to wait a couple of days. They offer shuttle service, but I chose to wait there since I can work anywhere on my computer. They have a quiet working area with desks (in addition to a TV area), and the wifi is free and an okay speed. They have free keurig coffee or tea, but no donuts or ice cream :( That's probably better for my waistline anyways. Karen Vieira was extremely friendly and professional, highly recommend her. In fact, all the employees I've dealt with at CitySide have been great.

I can't believe that I am actually saying this but I actually like Junior. Can you say that about your car sales person? He was patient, efficient and just pleasant. He is a nice guy. My lease ends in March and I wanted to see if I can do anything before the snow starts here in New England. He got me a new lease, the car payment I wanted, without those "let me go ask my manager" drama. I love that I can communicate with him via email. (My husband is still getting phone calls from the guy we bought the car from months ago. It's borderline harassment!)We got an Impreza and I LOVE IT. I always drove Toyota and Honda, but this car is so stable and I can see so well. We have two kids and it doesn't feel too small. Trunk space is actually better than CR-V. And those heated seats! I would like to add that everyone else at this dealership was super friendly and professional. The finance guy didn't add/sell any more fees to make monthly payment go up. The manager said he would email a form as PDF because they were closing and I got an email early next morning right when I woke up. These guys have better work ethic than I do.

I've always had cars that were handed down, bought used, or otherwise unchosen. When I finally decided to buy a new car of my own, I researched the xxxx out of it but was unsettled when I landed on a fairly sedate sedan: not the type of car I envisioned myself in. Peter Rosenberg talked to me at length to understand -- and then showed me cooler cars, let me drive sportier cars, and encouraged me to think for a few days. In the end I bought the car I'd intended to buy, at a competitive price - but with full confidence that it was the right car for me. Peter was knowledgeable, interesting, funny, and low-pressure. I think I got really lucky because Peter was about as far from the stereotypical car salesman as he could be! I'll definitely buy from CitySide and Peter again!

And they informed me, to my surprise, that the cost was covered by warranty! My personal thanks to Advisor Karen who saw the project through and kept me informed.

Tom was helpful and efficient in setting up test rides for us and never once made us feel under pressure (both time-wise and to buy). We knew we wanted to purchase a car immediately, and Tom was easy to work with and made the process smooth.

In October 2015 my wife and I needed a new car. We had sold her 1998 Volvo station wagon and were looking to replace it. We wanted something similar - a large, safe vehicle with storage space, but something with substantially better gas mileage. We did a lot of research and test driving, and Cityside Subaru, specifically Mark Lidano, provided us with a great experience all around. After test driving the Forester, it was our preferred vehicle, and after visiting a number of dealers, Mark was by far our favorite sales representative. Throughout the deliberation and negotiating processes Mark was great. He did not make us feel pressured, he was easy going, and he knew his stuff. We would highly recommend purchasing your next Subaru at Cityside!

My senior mom showed up at Cityside to look for a car, with 40-something me in tow.We started talking to Mark Lidano.He was faced with two difficult tasks. (1) Talking about cars with an elderly woman who was really not that interested in cars, and not particularly knowledgeable about them; and (2) Not running afoul of her opinionated 40-something son who was a bit of a car nut but was doing his best to keep his mouth shut and stay out of the way.Things actually went great.Mark helped my mom navigate various options, including models and equipment and which combinations were available or not. He clearly knew his product inside and out. Mark also kept me engaged, even while Mark and I were both careful to make sure that my mom was getting what she wanted, not what we thought she needed.He communicated everything necessary. He was respectful, direct, and a model of patience. Not for a moment did my mom and I feel like we were being pressured to do anything at all.In the end, I believe that my mom wound up with just the right car, including the right model, color, interior, options, and so on.(When she's not looking, I'll slip an STI engine into it and see if she notices!)Anyway, my highest marks for Mark. I'd recommend Mark and Cityside without hesitation.

We had a great experience working with Darren to find the right car for us. He is knowledgeable of all the features and answered all our questions in a friendly and professional manner. Best of all he and the other members of the Cityside Subaru team don't seem to pressure their customers to buy the way some auto dealer have a reputation to do. It provides a really relaxed environment so you can really focus on getting the right car for you. Darren met with us several times and was great every time. We also worked with Mark Lidano and he was great also.

I was lucky to have a "friends and family" offer on a Subaru and I am so glad it worked out as well as it did. My great experience was due to Peter Rosenberg, a man as unlike a car salesman as my stereotypes would have it! He was lively, funny, patient and very clear about all the many particulars with which I was unfamiliar. Why did I wait so long to get my first new car?! If you are interested in a Subaru, I recommend you contact Peter.

While buying a car is a tense time, Peter Rosenberg lightened the pressure with humor and responsiveness as he listened closely to what we wanted (not always identical for husband and wife!). He was knowledgeable in his explanations when we had many questions, demonstrating a great ability to relate to us with patience and transparency. We definitely recommend.

Last February, we were under some time pressure to buy a new Subaru for our cross-country trip. Cityside was the only dealership that was able to find us a 2015 Outback. Flavio was our sales consultant. He was very patient and reassuring about when the car would arrive. He and Cityside came through and we were able to take our trip in a comfortable, new Subaru. Flavio has excellent professional skills. He is knowledgeable, respectful and kind. He has the confidence that allows him not to pressure customers.We have owned Subarus for nearly 20 years. The next time we buy a car, we will be sure to return to Cityside and to have Flavio assist us again.

I normally don't write reviews, however, I felt compelled to after last service. Took my car in late June for scheduled maintenance (which included brake and rotor inspection). At my next service in October I inquired about shaking during braking and was told that my brake pads had worn completely through and that my rotors were rusted out. I feel bad writing this because the employees are nice, but not sure how these issues got missed during the previous inspection.

Peter's friendly, calm and relaxed approach, coupled with his knowledge and his sense of fun, kept me returning for more conversation and test drives of the Legacy, which he allowed me to take without him and which gave me confidence. He listened carefully, assisting the shaping of my choice, and preparing me for my decision with his sense of humor and positive attitude. Former customers came by to say hello to him and there were cards and letters from satisfied customers on his workspace wall.

We bought a Crosstrek from Flavio Fonseca last February. We had begun looking in the late fall at other dealers but ended up at Cityside as they are convenient to us. Flavio was very patient with us. He suggested several things to think about which other dealers had not done. We visited Cityside a few times before signing on the dotted line, and Flavio was cordial, answered all our questions, and never pressured us. Our buying experience with Flavio was very pleasant, and I would look for him again the next time I am in the market for a new car. Thank you, Flavio!

I went to Mark Lidano looking to trade in my mini clubman for a new or used Subaru. Before going to Mark, I test drove a used Subaru from my mini dealer. The trade in deal there was a great deal, but the Subaru they had didn't have the options that were deal breakers for me. I explained my story to Mark, and while he could have sold me a car on the spot (I was prepared to buy right then and there), he told me that I had better deal at the mini dealer. I reiterated that the car didn't have the options I needed and he explained that the options could be added and then I would have the car I wanted at a great price. I said I didn't want to spend extra for the options and he explained to me that I could negotiate the options into the existing trade for no cost and that I should call them right then and there to make the deal over the phone before the car was sold! I had no idea I could add options and negotiate them as Mark suggested! I called immediately and made the deal for the car I wanted at no extra cost. Mark gave up a sale because it was the right thing to do. He could have never advised me to go back to the other dealer and he would have made a sale and I would never have been the wiser. Mark is an honest and wise man that I would recommend to anyone interested in buying a Subaru. He will do right by you, even if it means he turns you away! It was an experience I will never forget. Thank you Mark!

I don't write many reviews, but felt compelled to write a review for Alexey, Rob K, and John M. Working with these 3 was very refreshing. I had test drove the car I wanted prior to purchasing through CitySide Subaru. I messaged Rob K to see all pricing that CitySide could do on a 2016 WRX. Rob not only beat other dealers price, but laid out all included fees, that I would be held responsible for when signing for the car. Alexey, followed up with any questions in a friendly manner, not the pushy salesman tactics. I really can't express this enough, he was extremely helpful and genuine. He was also very prompt with his responses, while providing a list of alternate options. This is still all before stepping into the dealer. John M worked with me on getting an APR rate that was lower that Subaru's advertised 2.9%. Then the day of the sale. I had to wait about a month for the car to arrive because it was in transit. I came in around noon time, the car I was about to sign was right out front, looking very clean. Alexey and I met for the first time in person and started to walk through some of the remainder of the paperwork. I would say I was in the dealership for a total of an hour and half! That's the quickest I have ever been in and out of a dealer with a new set of keys in hand and to top it off, I was trading in my 2010 WRX so they assessed the vehicle and came at me with a fair price. In summary, this was one of the easiest places to do business with. No games. No hassle. Just down to the information, for getting the sale done in a friendly way, which is something I respect. Thank you Alexey, Rob and John! I will be purchasing through you again.

This is our third Subaru and the second one that we bought from Cityside. There are other dealers closer to home but we came back to Cityside because of the excellent service we have received over the years. Flavio responded to my inquiry over email and followed up with the information that we reqested. When we met at cityside he had our information ready and showed us the model (Outback) that we wanted and went over the showroom model to explain all the new features since our old model (2005). He was able to answer all our questions about the features. The test ride confirmed our decision to buy from Cityside. We spent considerable time with Flavio to discuss the features that we wanted and also to take some additional features that he recommended. The discussion on the price and delivery was straightforward and we didn't feel pressured. When our Outback arrived, Flavio went over the car's features one-by-one to make sure that we understood their function and how to make them work the way we wished. Flavio couldn't have been more supportive and made our purchase of a new Subaru very positive. We would recommend Cityside and, in particular, would recommend Flavio Fonseca as the best salesperson to work with.

The pricing was exactly what I expected, having reviewed consumer reports and the market for this model. There was no "hard sell" pressure for add-ons, just cordial, professional service. I also like their service department. Highly recommended!

I had been to a few other Subaru dealerships in the Boston area before I went to Cityside where finally purchase my 2013 Impreza. The staff are friendly and helpful. And the sales rep, Dan "Zip", was absolutely great! He is very knowledgeable, helpful, and professional, and I enjoyed doing business with him. I am planning to trade in my Impreza for a WRX next year and I will definitely go back to Dan.

We bought a Subaru outback here and had a great experience. Our sales consultant was Flavio Fonseca, and he was a pleasure to work with. He took the time to understand our needs and helped us test drive and select the right vehicle. There was absolutely no pressure tactics employed, and we went through the sales process at our pace. Finally, when we decided to purchase the vehicle, the purchase and sale process was the smoothest that I have had so far. Flavio was very transparent and upfront regarding the pricing as well, and made it a stress free experience for us. Finally, he handled the actual car delivery process in an organized manner and explained all the key features of the outback to make us comfortable before we drove off. Highly recommended !

We bought a brand new 2012 Subaru Legacy from Cityside at the end of 2011. As a new immigrant to the US, I was somewhat horrified by the standard of service I had hitherto experienced with other dealerships to that point. America is supposed to be THE service oriented economy in the Free world. So much for my high expectations. I'd been to a number of other dealerships for brands such as Honda, Nissan, Kia and Volkswagen. The brands were great, their retailers were dismal, and that was based on having booked appointments. With Cityside, I just dropped in on the offchance, and was immediately impressed. In contrast to the other dealerships, I was received warmly by Alex, with no hint of pressure tactics. I was gently eased into the buying process at my own leisure. He even let me test drive the car on my own. Having been made to wait an hour for a test drive at a nearby Honda dealership (an appointment had been made, they'd simply forgotten to collect the car from their storage facility), the contrast was striking. I hadn't even test driven the Honda as we couldn't be bothered waiting any longer.Having purchased the car, Alex left useful post-it notes in the manual demarcating the most pertinent pieces to read. This must have taken him some time. Everything went smoothly, everybody was polite and happy to have our business, which was somehow strangely lacking with other dealerships. All-in-all, a great experience. The service department was great too. I wish we could still avail ourselves of the Belmont branch, but having moved out to Ashland, it's no longer practical. I will definitely being paying Alex (if he's still there), and Cityside a visit next time we're in the market for a new/replacement vehicle. I recently bought a Honda which is a great car, but there is absolutely no comparison between their service departments and Cotyside's, and the buying process was marred with all sorts of complications.

Glen Dalton at Cityside was a huge help to me in trading in my Legacy for a new Forester.

We'll definitely go back to him when it comes time to trade in again.

We all know there is nothing worse than a pushy car salesperson, and most of the dealerships are full of them. But Junior Williams at Cityside changed our perspective entirely... for a variety of reasons, we took our time in deciding on a vehicle, and throughout these months Junior was always helpful and forthcoming. Never once did we feel pressured into a sale, and never once did he over-promise. Overall it was a great experience working with Junior and his team.

When I test-drove my 2111 Impreza, Peter took us out to a winding country road and I noticed how well it took the curves. I bought it mainly for that reason and have since driven it up and down hills in Massachusetts and Connecticut snowstorms while feeling completely in control. I've now done 46,000 miles with only routine maintenance and no problems of any kind. I like the fact that Cityside has a quiet area in which to wait, as well as the separate one with TV and the good coffee.

Peter was excellent during the sales process. Once we'd talked about all the pricing options and dealt with the trade in, everything else was a breeze. Upon delivery of my car, Peter went above and beyond to make the buying experience great. I am a self professed car guy and don't need to be told where the oil goes or anything like that, so Peter skipped over that and helped with the really important stuff... Getting my Phone tied into the bluetooth and getting my Radio presets!Kidding to some degree, but he did spend the time to help me get aquainted with the handsfree system and all the other features of my brand new Subaru.Would absolutely recommend (and have) Peter to anyone and Cityside Subaru to EVERYONE!

Darren Shin (Sales) was outstanding and very honest, the experience was nothing as other dealers I had visited both for Subaru and other brands. He was like an open book without any small print. He met my requirements all the way and did even better than what I asked for.Mike (Finance) was outstanding as well, had similar interests and was confident on meeting my concerns 100%. We had similar interests (salesman tactics) but i didn't feel any of that.Since purchase of the car I have not had any issues and hoping I don't have any with the car. If I do end up getting issues I am pretty sure they will both go beyond helping me getting the issue resolved.This dealership should feel blessed on having Darren and Mike on their team.

Purchasing a new vehicle can be a bit stressful. Everyone always assumes that they are being taken for a ride (pun intended). This type of guarded outlook can often times determine the outcome before you even engage a dealership or salesperson. Attitude often times differentiates a good experience from a bad one. Peter's approach to sales is low stress and honest. My purchase was made in December of 2013. My old car was getting up there in years, and was not fairing so well in the snow as it had in the past. After reading a lot of reviews, I decided to make the move from Honda to Subaru. I had an idea of what I wanted. Peter walked me through all the options, and then took me out for a test drive. Moment later, I was discussing a deal. It outlined everything in detail and helped me to work within my budget. He is reasonable, polite, and professional. Since purchasing, I routinely see and talk with Peter. He's as pleasant and nice as the day we met. He made my purchase a good experience, and every encounter since then has reinforced my opinion of him even further.

I am not sure why that happened, but Dan seemed to straighten this out and made sure that Cityside honored the rate that he quoted me.

I was trained to expect car buying to be a massively tiring, manipulative, irritating process. The reality of my experience at Cityside Subaru couldn't have been further from that. I was about twenty-six when I bought my car, and it was my experience that car dealerships don't take young women seriously (that was the case at several other dealerships). Mark Lidano was always faultlessly respectful, professional, and helpful. I never felt rushed or pressured-- I always felt like a valued customer. And to top it off, I got my dream car at a very reasonable price. That car has taken me across the country and back more than once.

We were referred to Darren by our neighbor who had just bought a similar Subaru. I had previously had bad experiences with Toyota and Lexus dealers and like the style of the Subaru Crosstex. With past purchases, we would settle on a price after haggling, then would be co-erced into several thousand dollars worth of "add-ons" before the deal went through. It left a bad taste in my mouth.With Darren it was one price with factory add ons and very little negotiation. I felt we knew what things were at all times.

My husband made some research and decided that Subaru is the perfect make for New England weather. We came to the dealership in Belmont and walked out with all the paperwork signed! It was a really hassle free experience, special thanks to Peter. No rush, no pressure, super helpful! During our visit, we looked at few cars that we were interested in and test drived it. Although we liked tangerine crosstrack xv we still couldn't decide. Peter helped us vocalizing our needs and preferences in a new vehicle by asking right questions. It's great to deal with people who know their profession and find passion in it. Even after the purchase of the vehicle, I feel I can ask questions freely and get my answers pretty timely. I brought the car to Subaru service few times for some maintenance. Each time I dealt with one person named Zander. I found him also very helpful and friendly. I recently found out that my husband has been friends with him since high school. Recently my husband ran into Peter at the store and asked few questions about a problem we were having with the car. Peter gave some advise which we followed and we were able to rectify the problem. Thank you, Subaru!

I just bought my second Forester from Cityside (after 15 years with the first one) and Alex was a pleasure to deal with, very low-pressure, and made the whole process stress-free. I was dreading buying a car just because of all that one hears about the games that car salesmen play, hard sell tactics, etc. But once again Cityside proved the stereotype wrong. It was an easy and even pleasant experience. Alex patiently put up with my many questions and indecisions, going back and forth among different packages, etc. I genuinely felt no pressure on price or on time. I've had very good experience with Cityside's service dept over the last 15 years. And I can recommend Alex to anyone who like me was not looking forward to the car-buying experience.

I was in the market to buy a 2015 Subaru STi and was looking at dealerships closer to home. After a couple of bad experiences with sales persons, I decided to broaden my search and began calling around. I got in touch with Peter Rosenberg at Cityside Subaru, who gave me a call back immediately with potential options. I made a visit to the dealership and was very taken with the floor model in ice silver, even though I was leaning towards white. Once I'd settled on the color, Peter walked me through all the options that I might be interested in, and whether to lease or buy. He laid out the pros and cons of leasing instead of buying, especially a high performance car that might not hold its value well over the years if bought. The negotiations over price were good-natured and I was given a fairly good deal with my trade-in and monthly payments. There was a mixup with finance (the bank that Subaru works with do not allow leases for non-US citizens) which meant I ended up buying the car anyway, but that was an oversight which could have been avoided. I was still happy with the price offered and the service was excellent.I had a very good experience with Peter as the sales person and would definitely recommend both him and Cityside Subaru for their customer service. Peter was very patient with all my questions and he made suggestions that worked out for the best, without being pushy. All my interactions with him were very personable and we've kept in touch long after my purchase. This has been the best car buying experience of my life, and I'm certain I will come back to Cityside and Peter for my next purchase.

I had the service department put a wind kit in as I was experiencing loud wind noise when driving, especially on the highway. They told me they can order a kit for this, and would call when the parts came in. Once the parts were in, I scheduled the appointment, and was told (for the first time) when dropping my car off that this is a large procedure and they would need to keep my car for a couple of nights. I asked what the kit included, and the service worker didn't know. I wasn't prepared for this, and expressed nervousness that I'd encounter more issues after they did the work than the original problem. He reassured me this is a regular procedure, and everything would be fine. When I got my car back, the adjuster for my left mirror didn't work. On top of this, they had turned the lights in the car to "off" instead of "door," to come on when the doors are open. I found this strange, but a couple days later when I got in my car and the lights wouldn't turn off, I realized why they did this. The gasket on my passenger door was sticking to the car when I open the door, and thus won't allow the door to close completely. Instead of investigating WHY the light wouldn't turn off, the service department just lazily avoided the problem. When I called to schedule an appointment for these issues, the first they could schedule me was over a week away. Meanwhile, I can't adjust my side mirror and my doors won't close completely. I told the lady this and she asked me, "What do you want to do?" I can't believe how badly and rudely I was treated, and how much hassle I've gone through for buying a NEW car. To add insult to injury, they scratched the plastic where you open the door on the passenger side and dirtied the interior. I'm resenting buying the car and feel stuck with it. Completely dissatisfied with this service department, avoid it whenever possible!

Car salesman have an unfortunate reputation which is not positive. So when everyone goes to purchase a car the background is "watch out you're going to be hoodwinked". Boy was I surprised by my experience with Peter.NYTCS is Peter Rosenberg's "handle". Peter is certainly Not Your Typical Car Salesman. I found myself making a new friend, having fascinating conversations, feeling well taken care of, not hoodwinked, but rather participating in a process of finding the best for me, as in ME. He listened and then together we produced a deal that worked for both of us. So if you're looking for a Subaru, or even if you're not, go see Peter. He'll show you that "Love is a Subaru ". Addy S.

If your looking for a service center, nothing beats city side. You need to ask for Karen, she happily explains everything that is going to happen to your vehicle and explains the price that you are going to pay. I have never had an issue with my car or billing since I have been with Karen. At other places they give you one number and when you come to pick up your car, it's always more expensive. Not with city side and especially not with Karen. Only once did they find an issue with my car and she called to confirm with me before they did anything additional, and she told me my new billing price. OUTSTANDING! She lets me know about my scheduled maintenance and even lets me know what I should be considering in the future. I never feel pressured from her. She makes me very comfortable. The work is always done exactly like she says. Thank you Karen, and thank you to every mechanic who has serviced my vehicle.

I have always put-off getting a new car, since it usually involves a lot of time and hassle, and I am worried that I don't have all the information I need to make a good decision, due to pushy salespeople who have a sales quota to meet and don't care if the car is a good fit for my needs. Tom was the complete opposite, he really seemed to listen and adjust what he was recommending in response to what I told him. He brought a green car to the lot for me to look at, when I asked about what kind of green it was, and he worked hard to make my pick-up experience a good one, even thought he wasn't going to be there that day.Cityside Subaru was a whole new experience - on the sales side, I am delighted.

We were intending only to test drive a Subaru the day we went in to Cityside, because we are careful consumers who comparison shop. We had assumed we would be using the car buying services of either Costco or AAA, and had gotten preliminary estimates from several other dealerships. Those particular dealerships, however, were much farther away, so we decided to begin with Cityside. Once there we were helped by Tom D'Allesandro, who was so low-key, knowledgeable, and low-pressure that we decided to order the car that same day, even though the price was somewhat higher than it would have been elsewhere. (We were impressed by other conversations we overheard while waiting, as well.) The model we wanted was sold out on the lot, but we were told another one would be coming in by Oct. 31. It actually arrived a week early. Tom handled the dealings with the registry (new plates and registration) and contacted our insurance company (I also spoke with insurers to give additional info and our OK). As we had requested, the car had been prepared without resorting to the traditional, chemical-smelling cleaners and air "fresheners," which I find suffocating. The financial aspects were handled by Michael Nelson, who was also very helpful and pleasant to deal with. Tom sat with us in the car and showed us how to work the various features, making sure we had no additional questions before driving off. All-in-all, an unexpectedly easy and practically care-free experience.

In April, our 2002 PT Cruiser died. While I loved this mid life crisis car, we recognized that it had a number of deficiencies. My was was driving a 1998 Subaru that we were very pleased wit, so we decided to look at used Subarus. We test drove both an Impreza and a Forrester on a Thursday. We liked the Forester, however were not satisfied with the one that we tested. Our salesperson, Pete Hartelius was very accommodating, understanding, and low key. He did not push cars at us, like other dealers. Pete made a very pleasant followup call on the following Tuesday. We expressed our both our likes concerns about the Forester that we had test driven. He had just received another used Forester in trade and asked if we would like to take a drive. We liked the car and he let us take it, without any questions, from Belmont to Newton tosee if it would fit in our garage. We now own the 2012 Forester with very low mileage. The whole transaction was pleasingly transparent, no bait and switch, or closer trying to upsell us.Last week the 1998 Legacy died. We went to see Pete again, this in itself a high recommendation. He found us an older, low mileage Forester which should serve us well as a second car. Again, an effortless deal for both parties. Pete was upront in telling us that the mats and additionalkeys were not yet availabel and made an appointment for us to pick them up.We are very pleased with the sales philosophy of CitySide Subaru and with Pete Hartelius in particular.

We walked into the dealership just before they closed one night, and Alex approached us quickly and in a very friendly manner. From that first day, through the end of the process two weeks later (we took our time and shopped around), Alex was consistently genuine and accommodating. He was helpful and knowledgable, and very low pressurehe let the cars speak for themselves, and answered every question we had. The pricing was fair, and though there were a few hiccups during the purchase of the car and shortly after, everything was resolved quickly, fairly, and pleasantly. I'd like to say that Alex was an exceptionally friendly salesman in a maligned industry, but it seemed that everyone at Cityside was that friendly and easygoing. Thanks Alex and Cityside! We love our new Impreza.

In many years of buying cars with and for several family members, I have never before experienced anything like the professionalism and care of the management, sales, and financial staff at Cityside Subaru. When my first brand new Subaru was totaled (and in so doing saved my life and left me with not a scratch) by a texting teenager speeding through a red light, Tom DAlessandro worked diligently to both quickly get me a replacement and also clear a lot of the obstacles associated with switching car loans. Tom is fantastic and, amazingly, so is everyone else who worked together to turn the aftermath of a car crash into an actually pleasurable experience. If there were more stars to give these guys, I would do it! (And the car is great, too!)

From the first handshake, Tom D'Alesandro made it clear that he had a laid-back approach, that he wouldn't hover, call incessantly, or pressure us into making a decision. He also gave us a ton of honest information that helped us decide that the Forester was the right car for us. Once we made that choice, he went from laid-back to super-engaged, working hard to make a good deal, talking through all the options, and especially, locating the car we wanted. And, we love it. Thank you!

If you're looking for a subaru, look no further than City Side Subaru in Belmont. I just purchased a new 2016 outback and had the best buying experience I've ever had. Junior, our sales rep, as well as the finance associate, and the sales manager were all such a pleasure to work with. From the time I walked through the door, I felt welcomed and like they really wanted to sincerely earn my business, unlike several other Subaru dealerships out there (I had poor to fair experiences at three other dealerships). The team worked together to get the deal done to my satisfaction - professionally, efficiently, and at a reasonable price. When I picked up my car, Junior took the time to orientate me to my new vehicle. He didn't skip a single feature. He also wanted to introduce me to the parts and service department (I had to skip this step due to my own time restrictions) so that I would see familiar faces when I brought my car back to be worked on. Overall, I give this dealership a 5 star rating. Great customer service is rare these days and I feel the entire team should be recognized for this. Go see Junior, I promise you won't be disappointed!

I bought an outback wagon from Mark at city side Subaru. He had been recommended by a friend. I am not a huge car guy and was looking for a no hassle experience with a practical car. My expectations were met. Mark was transparent and no-nonsense. We did a lot of our discussion via text and phone and he was efficient with my time when I came for the test drive and ultimately the purchase. I leased my car and the finance process was smooth - no last minute hard sells or hassles. I'm a loyal customer if you treat me properly and I'll be back to city side for more leases/purchases.

This dealership engages in deceptive sales practices. Recently i went to purchase a wrx and trade in my crv. We all agreed on a new car price and a trade in price and sales guy had me sign. Then he takes it to his manager and comes back and says trade in has to go down and tells me manager has seen my vehicle and called wholesalers and can only do so much on trade in. After more back and forth to manager he comes back and trade in has gone down some more and we agree. Then he gets my signature again and goes back to manager and this time comes back and says that manager drove my car and trade in has to go down again.....at this point i am seething and walk out without a sale. These guys dont know the basics of sales because guess what....I went down to METRO WEST SUBARU and bought a Forester and a WRX....Sales at cityside if you are reading this take note and fire your sales manager...Never going back to this dealership for sales ever again....hope they dont suck on service!

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.

We have been going to get our service at CitySide for a year now. They have online booking which is a plus, but securing an appointment means you have to plan a few weeks to months in advance. This is ok for standard maintenance, but not great when you have the unexpected repair come up. I had this recently with my breaks and I was able to get in within 3 days, but I had to leave my car all day in order for them to fit me in. At first they ran out of loaner cars, but I was accommodated after waiting for an hour or so. My overall experience is that the people who work there are very friendly and good at customer service, but there are just too many customers to accommodate for the size of the staff.

All done in a day and all done with a great attention to detail as well as the basic customer service we all expect when making a purchase. I ended up getting a great deal when weighed against similar car buys in the area and I did so with minimal haggling which to me is always a huge plus.

We went into Cityside knowing that exactly what we want is not made right now. Why is it so hard to find a reasonably priced, fast, 4 door hatchback with all wheel drive? I feel like every young active person wants exactly that car. Hopefully the WRX will start being made in a hatch again soon. Anyway, when we went in, we met with Glen and he was just awesome. We explained our conundrum and he got all excited, said he'd be right back and took off. He brought us a used WRX hatchback that met all of our criteria. We took a test drive and it was definitely a fast car, but we were a little hesitant because it was 3 years old so we wouldn't get as good of a warranty and we hadn't done any research to understand what it was worth. We had gone into the dealer assuming we'd just try out the new Impreza and see how slow it felt. Obviously, you're not going to like an Impreza immediately after driving a WRX, so we decided to go home after driving the WRX and do some research. Ultimately, we decided the WRX was too old and the Impreza was too slow, so we ended up with a front wheel drive car. But, we almost wanted to get the Impreza anyway because dealing with Glen was so much better than the other dealers around.

I bought my Forester in January 2014. It was a terrific buy (full confession: I was able to take advantage of the AAAS member discount) and the experience was smooth and efficient. My salesman, Peter Rosenberg, was knowledgeable and the antithesis of a pushy salesman. On the day of picking up my new car, he helped me program my iPhone so that I could use it hands-free through the Bluetooth connection, and he walked me through all of the many features of the car. (Yes, I had seen them before, but it's different when you're taking ownership.) This was a sale with the personal touch. I just returned from CitySide today, after Peter helped me connect my new iPhone to my Forester. It's great knowing that there's a familiar face in sales who will always take care of me and my family (we're all Subarau owners!) Thank you, Peter, for a terrific experience, and thanks to the Cityside Service Department for taking care of our cars! This includes even when we've experienced trouble on the road many miles from Belmont - we were coached through an incident by phone. You guys are the best!

Like many others, I suspect I bring more than a little distrust to my encounters with car salesmen. I know, I know, I'm dealing in stereotypes here, but that's my point: you couldn't get further from such cartoons than Peter Rosenberg. Warm, funny, respectful, and generous, Peter understood my particular needs, that my time was important, and that buying a car was, for me, a chore, really, something I needed to do, and not an exciting activity. He treated me like an adult. Our conversation during the lulls in the process ranged from books and music and theater and film and... Peter is a well-read, culturally astute conversationalist with a great sense of humor. All in all, I thought now THIS is the way to buy a car. Thank you, Peter.

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.

I was told that my brakes were "down to 10%" and needed to be replaced (written recommendation: "rotors are rusted and pitted. Technician recommends new front brake pads and rotors $450"). My personal mechanic subsequently reported that the brakes were down to 33%, not 10%, were not rusted or pitted, and did not need to be replaced at this time (they were replaced by him in 2012). Same for the dealer service dept. recommendation that the "front transmission cooler hoses and hard line are leaking $490." My mechanic found no leak, but clamped the hoses secure, assuring me that no other action was needed. These aren't differences of opinion; my view is that this was an attempt by the service department to charge me for unnecessary work; put another way, rip me off. I reviewed both repair recommendations with the service department before I left with my vehicle, and have carefully reviewed this matter with my local mechanic, and can come to no other conclusion. For the record, the dealer's recommendation to replace the front sway bar was correct, and the heat shield and alternator belt were replaced with no problem. But I could have been soaked for $940 if I had not conducted my own due diligence. That's unacceptable, and almost a parody of what most people believe is the problem with a dealer's service department: scam artists preying on the uninformed.

I originally thought Cityside Subaru was a good dealership and I'm sure they are when they're not "busy". I often hear bad things about warranty work and how dealerships put little effort into their customers. Let's sell them a brand new car and then shift them to the service department where service drags their feet. I was told by the service manager that I would get direct communication throughout the entire process with my car issue installing a new short block, turbo, gaskets...ect Remind you this is a "2014 WRX STI with 27k miles" that I had bought originally brand new. I didn't hear from the service manager until almost 2 weeks later and that was when he said the car was just about complete. The worst part about this entire process was not only the poor communication but the oil cooler was never changed out. The noise I complained about originally is still there. I suppose I am at a loss when I bought the warranty and the extended warranty on top of it if the dealership can not uphold certain expectations. I also feel less power now that I got my car back, not quite sure why this is. I would say this is an unfortunate situation and I really don't want to call them back to do any more work even thought I bought the warranty coverage. The real issue I see at the Cityside Subaru is customers coming in and the employees that work there are trying their best. However, they're telling the customers whatever they want to hear rather actually committing to taking care of the customers needs and following through.

As first time new car buyers, we had a wonderful experience with Tom. Tom is thorough and to the point with no pressure to buy. We bought a 2015 Crosstrek Premium late into the year and were hoping for a specific color and moonroof. Tom was able to find us our favorite color and have their partnered bodyshop install a moonroof at a great rate. It was a very stress free buying experience and we really appreciated the extra work to accommodate our needs.John did a great job with faciliating the finacing piece of the buying process. He was very thorough and made sure we understood all terms of the contract and helped us get out the door quickly with a good APR rate.Overall, it was a great experience. Look forward to buying again from Cityside in the future!

We had a wonderful experience at City Side. I was so stressed after dealing with our car problems that we needed something new and fast but we had limited options. Alex was wonderful!!!! He really listened and did not just pushed for the expensive sale but he actually advised us and helped us choose the best option for us. We could not asked for more. We are truly happy and grateful. We truly recommend City Side and Alex. I do have to mentioned that Michael who helped us with the financial part of it was also great ! The whole team rocks!

I was looking for a new car and I have heard great things regarding the Subaru. I spoke with Alexey Stepanov and Rob Krasow and they both we able to talk to me about the Subaru line and what would maybe fit my needs. They were both very knowledgeable and very great to speak with. I would definitely refer friends and family to the dealership. Very helpful and never felt pressured to make a decision that was not right for me.

So, I've never bought a car - and I'm 39. Don't Judge. I started to dip my toe into the water and found CitySide Subaru online and sent in a inquiry. Within two hours, I got a response and scheduled a test drive. I got to the car dealership and didn't know where to go - an employee actually saw me looking quizzical and came over to ask what I needed. She led me straight to the guy i connected with online named Rob. He was so friendly! He introduced me to Junior who was going to be taking me for a test drive and we walked outside and the car was already ready for me to drive. Junior knew everything about the car and answered all my questions - and didn't make me feel stupid for not knowing things like - what torque was. As a woman and a first time buyer, they made this process painless. I'm still trying to decide which Subaru to buy - and have test driven a few more cars - but they are extremelly patient with me and are truly honest about the haggling over price. They showed me all the numbers - talked with me about the benefits of leasing and buying - and gave me my space to think. No hard sale - thank God!Great dealership, friendly people, and honest dealing. Feel extremely comfortable here and recommending them to anyone!

I've bought many cars over the years and I would have to say that my experience in buying a car with Darren Shin is the best by far. He made buying a car enjoyable which is something I never experienced at all. From the moment you meet him, you immediately get a very friendly feeling and you will find out that this feeling is real. He is extremely knowledgable about all of the cars in the dealership. In fact, he even owns a Subaru which gives him even more credibility about his belief and trust in the product. Overall, it was really a pleasure working with Darren. He is a professional and sells his cars by selling their value. No pressure tactics at all, strictly professional. I strongly recommend all of my friends and family to go to Darren Shin if they are interested in a Subaru.

CitySide Subaru consistently maintains excellent service, staff, and professionalism. I have had the repeated pleasure of having my Subaru serviced by Joe Cisek and his employees through nine years (and counting) of enjoyable Subaru ownership. I find that the service group are warm, helpful, considerate, and friendly. I have recommended this particular dealership to many family and friends, who, in turn, purchased autos from Cityside Subaru. We have all enjoyed the signature Joe Cisek service team. I look forward to many years of enjoyable Subaru ownership alongside the great group that keeps my family's cars running smoothly.My many thanks to the Cityside team!

I have never written an internet review before, but Cityside Service was so excellent that I feel compelled to report on it. The problem began when we were driving to NH for a 2 week vacation and our Crosstrek failed to start after we stopped at a rest stop. As a first step we decided to call the dealership and were very happy to get the service manager, Joe Cisek, who proceeded to help us analyze the problem over the phone. He even contacted a local NH dealer in case the AAA jump failed to get the car going. When we returned from the vacation after Labor Day, Joe got us an appointment the very next day and provided us with a new Forester as a loaner while he and his team looked for the root of our problem, which appears to have been a loose shifter cable. This was the first major problem we've had with our Subaru Crosstrek and I can't imagine better service. If only the rest of the world worked this well!

Junior was a terrific salesperson to work with at Cityside Subaru. He's extremely likable, straightforward, and honest. I feel that he really worked with me to come to a good deal on the two cars that I needed to buy that day. I came in with a clear idea of the cars I wanted. I ended up with two cars that were a little nicer, with a few more features, than I had initially thought I would get, but I never felt pushed to choose those models/upgrades. The whole experience was a very good one, which felt very collaborative. And I felt that I got a good price on both vehicles. I would definitely recommend Junior to friends or family looking to buy a Subaru.

Far be it from me to write a review for a car salesman....I don't even like cars! But Tom is not your average salesman or guy....pleasant, polite, very 'can-do,' gets the job done, honest, thorough, personable, decent. He is fabulous! I've already told friends about him and am in fact bringing a car-seeker to meet with him this week. I feel very lucky to have found Tom. He wouldn't submit to being my driver (which was actually all I wanted, really) but managed to sell me what I hope to be a great car. If you are looking for a new Subaru, this is your guy (when he's not attending to me, that is...) Go Tom!!

Thank you Tom for your professional quality assistance. I had been with Toyota 30 years and was hesitant on making the "big" change. Knowing my sister loves her Subaru, I decided to "look" and came away convinced that I was making the right decision to change to Subaru! Your personable qualities made me feel that I was not pressured, as many car sales people have, even at my old dealership! I enjoyed driving the Forester and we discussed many options before the final decision. That was to wait until the color vehicle I preferred was ordered. I had no problem with this wait as my Highlander has been wonderful. With three children grown, I thought a smaller vehicle to be the correct choice. The Forester seems perfect. I am glad you spent all that time with me and answering my many questions. I want to thank you very much and look forward to meeting with you again.

Cityside Subaru decided that instead of simply adding some glue to a side molding that was coming off of my door, they would replace it completely. They ordered the wrong molding so when I picked up my car, the molding was completely different than the other side - they failed to check to make sure it matched. I think they were just hoping I wouldn't notice. When I had to tell them their mistake, I did not receive an apology, just that they would order it again, and replace it, again. Once they were finished wasting a bunch of my time, I finally got to pick up my car to see that they left scratches where they had to replace the molding, along with two large, noticeable knicks in the side molding itself. When I pointed it out to them, I was told I have "scratches all over my car" and that those were always there and essentially told I was a liar. All in all, they wasted my time, insulted me and returned my car to me in worse condition than when I brought it in. This is the second time I have come to CitySide and received a terrible customer service experience. The first time, I called them inquiring about a potential issue I had with my humidifier not working properly and asked if I could take it in to have them take a look. They not only refused to look at my car, they told me the issue was probably because, "you spilled some soda in your car and the wetness in your car is causing the car to not dehumidify properly." Needless to say, I had to go to another dealership to get help. Lastly, it's important to note that my entire family drives Subaru. My mother, recently moving to the area, bought a new phone and had trouble hooking it up to the Bluetooth. She drove to CitySide, being the closest dealership, to ask them if they could assist her in setting up her Bluetooth. The employee she dealt with asked her, "did you lease your Forrester from CitySide?" She answered no. The employee then asked her, "do you get it serviced here?" She answered no. She asked them if that is going to be a problem in getting the help she is asking for. The disgruntled worker unwillingly went out to her car and set up her Bluetooth in the end but she told me they were not happy to be helping her, she felt extremely uncomfortable and she will not be returning to the dealership to get her car serviced there. After all these terrible experiences here, they just lost an entire family's business.

He showed me all of the features to the Outback and let the vehicle sell itself. He said that if I had any questions or needed anything in the future, to call him. I will take him up on it.

I always find buying a car to be extremely stressful even though I've done my "homework" ahead of time and know exactly what I want when I go to different dealerships. This is my third Subaru and even though I have my cars serviced at Citywide, I hadn't purchased one there before. I just never felt comfortable with the salespeople I met. Until Pete. The transaction was relaxed and I didn't feel pressured at all. Pete was so helpful, friendly and patient. I feel that I got a fair price on the trade of my old car and a good price on the new one. It really was a great experience and I would certainly encourage anyone considering the purchase of a Subaru to contact him.

He made my car leasing experience a pleasure and celebratory event rather than a stressful chore.

I initiated the purchase of a car through Cityside Subaru via email and was able to do most of the paperwork online and through email. I worked with Flavio Fonseca in sales, and I cannot praise his work well enough. Through every step of the way, Flavio was both attentive and never made me feel pressured or uncomfortable. He is a natural with a wonderful interpersonal style well-suited to his line of work. And I assure you, this is a rare quality. The purchasing process is daunting, often times with the customer and sales person assuming cagey stances, which causes that dynamic to turn adversarial. With Flavio, this was hardly the case, and his transparency about terms and dealer fees were a breath of fresh air.

I had shopped around and he was able to get me the best price. When I went to pick up my car, all I had to do is fill out paperwork with Michael which was painless and I have to say almost fun. He explained everything clearly and it was a quick process. Flavio Fonseca was wonderful, communicating through the whole process and explaining all the features of my new Forester. I was so excited about getting the car and Flavio took pictures of me with my car--I feel he was almost as excited as I was to get me in my perfect car.

He then called to let me know my car was ready and also mentioned that since my office was so close, the shuttle could pick me up there (John was the driver and he was also wonderful) and would call when I was ready.

This was the best car buying experience I have ever had. Everyone was very attentive and willing to help from the moment we walked in. Tom was exceptional in taking the time to explain everything in detail and answer all my questions. He was very quick to reply to emails even on days he was on PTO. John was very detailed with the financing part. Explained everything to me in layman's terms.Overall an excellent experience. Thanks to Tom and John.- Abhi

Sales people made me feel comfortable. Every visit I made I was offered water or coffee - helpful, especially given the high temperatures out of doors that week. They explained and showed me details about the vehicle in terms I could understand easily. I had many questions, in part because I hadn't purchased a car in 11 years and many standard features are new to me. What I appreciated the most was I felt no pressure during the process. I worked with 2 salespeople because of their schedules, and the interaction was seamless.

Buying a new car is a risky business, a surprising journey into ones intimate core values at a vulnerable time. The deal begins with what may be an impossible collection of fantasies of carefree mobility: driving west into an Arizona Highways sky, charging out into a blizzard, I have AWD, I laugh at storms. Im never late for work as I cruise to a kick-ass sound system. We are brought to earth by the monthly payment, the package, the compromises of performance and gas conservation; the cost/benefit analysis.Peter understands that dichotomy, the human desire to have ones cake and eat it too.Being an artist he knows how to translate what we want into what is. Not in the typical car salesman hard sell, but by his intuition, experience, compassion and keen eye. He doesnt so much sell you a car but help you find what will become the right car for you. Peter has the information; the mechanicals, electronics, resale value and service contract figures, and freely offers this. He is responsive without being in your face. He will do the work to find your car. Yes, he is very charming. More to the point he is trust-worthy. In just one test drive, Peter becomes a friend you trust. He will take care of you. Honest.Cityside Subaru is well known for its outstanding service; competent and friendly. This is why I chose them for my second Subaru and will again. I dont have to wait for the third time to be a charm. It was there from the start. DHB 8/2015

Mark took great care of us and was very patient with our tough negotiating style. I liked that he told it like it is - no tricks, but very honest in his negotiation and put everything on the table, walking us through all of the numbers and contracts patiently. This helped us reach a great deal for both of us. The closing was also super-fast - we came in on a Sunday afternoon and drove our car off the lot the next day! Mark worked with us and the finance guys to help us secure a loan with a great rate.We LOVE our new Subaru!! Thanks. Mark and Nathan! I have since recommended Mark to a couple of friends also looking for Subarus.

While I will always take my car here as long as I work in the area, I wrote an honest review of a subpar experience a while back. I was contacted within 48 hours by the service department head apologizing and offering me a free wash and detail. They even took my car to get inspected and gave me a loaner vehicle for the day (yes I did have to pay for the inspection). It renewed my faith in them and I will continue to go there.

I've purchased two new cars from Peter Rosenberg, and both experiences were overwhelmingly positive. His funny, down-to-earth nature is a welcome change from the "high-pressure salesman" personalities that are all too common elsewhere. He genuinely cared about my happiness and satisfaction, not only during the sale but in the weeks after I took delivery as well. If you are in the market for the best all-wheel drive cars money can buy, I highly recommend that you make your first (and last) stop at Cityside Subaru... and ask for Peter!

Got roof racks installed on my 2014 Subaru. Staff was helpful in showing me the roof racks and helping me decide if our current Yakima system would work on the racks. They also waived my service fee and only charged me for the roof racks. Only complaint would be that I didn't want a wash but it was sent out for a wash so I ended up waiting longer than expected. But the staff is always very helpful and professional. I appreciate the fee waiver and the patient working with me as I decided how to move forward.

I went to several Subaru dealerships in MA, VT and NH over the course of several months. The last one I visited was Cityside. The relaxed, warm and friendly reception I received, and the reputation Cityside has for quality service, sealed my decision to purchase from Cityside. There was no "sales pressure" but a professional and well-informed staff. I decided on a car in inventory but overnight decided on a different color. When I went in the next day to complete the purchase and said I changed my mind, instead of getting push-back, they found what I wanted at another out-of-state dealer and I had the car within the week. Great, courteous, down to earth people at Cityside, especially Glen.

I've been getting my service done at Cityside since I bought my new car. They've always gone above and beyond my expectations, except for this visit. The service was done and I'm happy for that, but I can get it done anywhere for cheaper. When I asked about the peculiarities of my car, which I expect a subaru mechanic to know most about, the response was not helpful, it was, "your warranty's expired." They've always vacuumed the floor, offered advice, and things to look out for, but not this visit. So overall, I'm disappointed.

I called from the road with my problem, and Nick was very helpful over the phone. He expressed genuine concern and scheduled me for an appointment as soon as he could. He also asked me to follow up with an update between the day of my call and the date of the appointment, which helped put me at ease. While the car was being serviced, I took advantage of the wi-fi and comfortable waiting areas to get my work done, so I didn't need to stress about being away from my job. When it became clear that the service would take a few days, Nick readily offered a loaner car. He was also quite flexible about the time I needed to pick up my car and return the loaner. Rather than racing out of work early, I was able to come in early the next morning instead. All and all, having my car serviced at Cityside Subaru was an excellent experience.

Junior Williams helped me and my daughter through the process. He was courteous, responded very quickly to all questions and emails and didn't pressure me when we first went in to test drive the car. On pick up day, he gave us a walk-through of all the features of the car, answering all my 16-yr old daughter's technology questions. John was also very polite, explaining all the purchase and transfer details and didn't provide any pressure when it came to the extended warranties.I would definitely recommend Junior and the Cityside team!

My wife and I are first time buyers. When we started the process a few weeks ago we were neither married nor did we know a thing about the dealership experience (and it is certainly an "experience"). Needless to say the past few weeks have involved many big grown-up steps for us and I am happy to say that both events were fun, fluid and wildy succesful affairs. The pleasure we took in buying a car can be credited completely to one Mr. Peter Rosenberg. To say Peter made us feel instantly comfortable would be a grand understatement. What we felt instead was an immediate mutual affinity - a kind of kinship - a recognition of shared thoughts and values in another person - a rare and unusual thing to find in the world of buyers and sellers. Peter is many things: warm, witty, and observant, dapper and poised, both righteous and riotous. He is profoundly deep and yet hides nothing below the surface. These are the reasons we feel lucky simply to have met him. The reason we feel so fortunate to have bought our first car from him, however, is that he is above all else a true professional with immense knowledge on the vehicles he takes so much pride in selling. He answered all of our questions honestly and with great detail, offered input when appreciated and otherwise let us work our way through the process as we needed to. It was fun and pressure free and we felt supported start to finish. We could not be more thrilled with our new Impreza. Cityside is lucky to have Peter and so is Subaru. He is a man worth meeting, a man worth getting to know and a man worth buying a car from. Until we see you next, thank you Peter.Likewise it was a pleasure working through the finance end with John Melvin. Being sent to the "back room" is what we feared the most but again John talked us through it all, calmly and assuredly, leaving us feeling very good about our purchase. A good demeanor and strong sense of humor are important in any work place and it is clear that Cityside has cultivated this. We don't know when our next purchase will be but it is safe to assume where we will start that process once again.Cheers.

I had such a positive experience with this dealership and especially with Tom my salesman. As someone who did not know much about cars, I knew going into this whole process hat I was an easy target for salesman to take advantage of me, etc. I felt so lucky to get Tom as my dealer because he was low pressure, and he wasn't trying to take me for a ride. He answered my questions and didn't use my lack of experience against me, he just helped me get into the car I wanted and he worked very hard to get a good price. I had seen a deal on the internet that was no longer viable as they had run out of the 2015 standards, but he made it happen for a 2015 premium and looked all over the city for the car I wanted. He was so prompt with everything once I decided to go for it. Mostly, he was just friendly and low pressure--exactly what I needed! He even walked me through how to change the tire when I asked, even though it was at the end of his shift. I would highly recommend him. Also, the finance guy was nice. Everyone was great.

It is difficult for me to consider recommending ANY car dealership, as I would much rather go into a buying experience with all of the information - different options for price, monthly payment, down payment, trade-in value, maintenance fees - presented to me on paper from the start, allowing me to figure out what I am comfortable with away from the influence of a salesperson (except for their availability to answer questions). That said, Junior and Cityside provided polite, clear service, responding to what I requested as I asked (I told Junior I needed some time to think as well all of the options outlined and he provided both). I did feel a little bit rushed, and hadn't realized the added cost of regular scheduled maintenance on a lease when I signed a purchase agreement. However I get the sense that such things are common to all car dealers, and I would recommend Cityside as providing the best experience possible within that paradigm.

I totaled my 2005 Outback in early May 2015. I returned to the dealer I bought the car from 10 years ago, and had a horrible experience after buying a used car from them. I came back to Cityside, where I've been getting service for years, and met with salesman Tom D'Alessandro. We started talking about my buying a 2015 Forester, trading in the car I had just bought elsewhere. Tom offered me a great deal that was respectful of my tight budget.Tom was a total delight. Our whole time together was fun and productive. He is knowledgeable, sincere, patient and just a delight to work with. He's not like any other car salesman I have ever known. I felt like I was buying a car from a friend or relative versus a car salesman who was out to get me. I can't say enough about Tom, and I highly recommend him as your Subaru salesman.

Compared with our previous experience in buying a new car, our recent purchase of a CrossTrek at Cityside Subaru was a distinct pleasure. From beginning to end, Peter Rosenberg made the purchase an enjoyment. He not only treated us with respect, but he was superbly informed about Subarus and helped us greatly in making a choice. His wonderful sense of humor, his attention to details, and his empathy smoothed every step of the way. We sought out Peter on the advice of a friend who had also bought a car from him. As a result, we will not only recommend that our friends go to Cityside for a Subaru (we are loving ours), but we will tell them to seek out Peter Rosenberg if they want an experience that utterly transcends what they will get elsewhere.

Good give and take with little pressure. A suggestion: even if the trade in has little economic value, the owner has an emotional relationship with the old car --which has served the customer well as an old dear horse. Negatives are difficult to take at the moment of parting with the old wreck for ever. Even thought it has the low value that it has, humor the owner with some positives on the old car.Even if it is a wreck.Just saying..........

I've had my old Outback serviced at Cityside for several years and have always been impressed with the service. So it was very natural for me to head there when I made the decision to buy a new car this week. I thought I wanted a Forester, but wasn't sure. Glen Dalton was fabulous to work with; I couldn't have had a better experience. He was extremely knowledgeable about all the various models I could choose from. He talked me through everything clearly and carefully, including financing options. He was very, very courteous and struck me as squeaky clean. Never was there any pressure. The negotiations went smoothly and satisfactorily. I did decide to buy a Forester and absolutely love it. I hoped to take it home with me that day, and Glen made it happen in a matter of hours. He even recommended a place to go for lunch while we waited for the car to be detailed, and then he brought the car down to the restaurant! What service! Glen and the dealership made everything easy from start to finishhandling registration, inspection, etc etc. I was really pleased with the whole experience. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who asks. Finally, it's worth noting that Glen has been at Cityside for a decade. In an industry where car salesmen come and go, that speaks very well of both Glen and Cityside.

When I moved up to the North Shore, I knew there were dealerships that were closer in distance to my new home (about 45 minutes away), but always make the trip down to Cityside as their customer service, attention to detail, and ability to accomodate my needs has always been second to none. Joe Cisek and the rest of the front desk and service crew are awesome and set the bar for excellence in customer service. If there were a "6 star" rating, I would give it!

Regular maintenance visit. The staff was very accommodating to my time restrictions. In fact, I arrived early and they took the car right away. Said it would be ready in 60 - 90 minutes. Right at 75!! Staff very friendly. We have purchased a few cars here. Recommend highly.

I brought my 2013 Impreza in for a regular maintenance service which is covered by my service contract. I made the appointment several weeks ahead which is necessary if you want a specific convenient day and time. Everyone was polite and helpful. I waited in the comfortable waiting room and the service took about an hour. I appreciate the car wash also.

Two years ago, we stepped into CitySide Subaru dealership on a quest to find our first new car. We were introduced to Peter Rosenberg, who was engaging and delightful. Unfortunately, we left without finding our dream ride, but Peter reassured us that he'd be in touch to assist us the best he could. And he did! Fast forward to now (2 years later), we returned to CitySide to play lets-make-a-deal after we were unable to find a car suitable to our wants, needs, and wallets. To be fair, after this past winter we searched for an AWD vehicle and strongly considered an SUV; but there was still nothing in the market that convinced us to buy. We were then reminded that "maybe a Subaru Impreza instead would be the vehicle for [us]." So here we are, walking into CitySide and who do we get the pleasure of dealing with...Peter Rosenberg. Would he remember who we were? Would he be as witty and charming as we remembered? Would he continue to be helpful? Would he give us a good deal? Well, we negotiated, exchanged witty banter, and believe to have made a good decision. Overall, our experience went as expected. We're satisfied and happy with our decision. We even received a lovely card from the Artist (fka Peter R.). However, we did have one wish (our only caveat), which was to have had the car detailed (even if it was new) before we received the keys.

CitySide noted the oil consumption of my 2012 Impreza and made an appointment to replace the necessary parts at no charge to me. CitySide also provided a loaner car at no charge for the duration of the service. I appreciated CitySide's response and attention to the situation. Since the replacement the car has driven well and I hope that too-frequent low oil indications are now in the past.

On a previous visit, I had been advised that I needed a new radiator. I scheduled the appointment on a Friday and knew that they had the radiator in stock. Dropped off the car at 7 AM and got a loaner (which I was happy about).4 pm Friday, called the shop - they recommended replacing a couple of hoses, but wouldn't have them until Monday. I said fine and let them keep the car over the weekend.3? pm Monday, called the shop - car not ready. Needed another day2 pm Tuesday, called the shop - not sure about car. Will call back.4pm Tuesday, I called the shop. Hose installed but still needed to test, would be ready Wednesday4pm Wednesday, called the shop. The car was ready (hooray!)And then they charged me for the loaner for the three extra days it took them!

The service was fine, but getting a loaner car, which I very much needed, was very time-consuming and involved a shuttle into an Arlington Enterprise office. I'd mentioned to service several days in advance that I'd be needing a loaner and when I'd be dropping off my Forrester; I wish a loaner had been available to me at drop off time... would have save an hour and a half!

I have a dark blue Outback Limited like everyone else. Zander (and Nick previously) have always been very helpful-- I went in for an oil change and they suggested that I rotate the tires as well. There was a small trim piece that was broken somehow, they were very kind about getting it replaced under warranty. The car was done quickly and while I'm sure there are cheaper choices for an oil change + servicing, I trust these guys to use the right brand / grade of oil- which is important in the Subaru engines.Negative- I'll say that it took me a while to get an appointment-- but I suppose that's because they're good at what they do. Perhaps they could hire more folks or get a bigger place?

Glen seemed like a kind of partner in finding the car I wanted at a price I felt really good about. He was very knowledgeable about the car I liked (the Crosstrek), and about how it compares both to other Subarus and to other makes so that I felt confident Crosstrek's a good choice for me. He was friendly and low pressure, asked good questions, able to give me several options. I have several friends who drive Subarus and who suggested Cityside, and now I will, too. It was a good experience, and I love my car. I'll definitely stick with Cityside, and I'll look forward to working with Glen again.

Their professionalism and understanding for my needs and financial concerns made me their permanent customer. I had many things on my fix list yet I did not feel pressured to do anything I did not want to. Having too much time on our hands we were given loaned car kindly offered by their friendly salesman without even asking for it. This team is working hard to satisfy your needs and provide quality service. All the best and keep up the good work!

Just bought a 2015 Impeza (also bought a 2005 Outback from same salesperson). He's not all bubbly and cheerful, but unlike other dealers' people who made promises on the phone that somehow disappear when you show up, he was a straight shooter, even when saying things I didn't want to hear. That's worth a lot. The dealership in general is very friendly and easy to spend time at when waiting for terribly overpriced repairs--done well but omg the prices!

I go here for service because I live nearby.

There is only one service person who is personable but I was not served by him. The fellow who made my appointment and wrote up my order lacks social skills. And no, he's not doing me a favor.

This time I was able to wait for my car to be serviced and was in and out of there in 1 hour. In the past I've dropped my car off the night before and picked it up the next day. They have consistently completed work in the time window they say and they have kept me informed. They also let me know totally separately from the service they were doing that my tire condition would likely not pass my next inspection, and for my safety to replace them before winter (with no pressure or suggestion to buy anything from them now or in the future).

I bought a new Impreza from Junior and John at Cityside a few days ago. It was a great experience (described previously). Then I tried to figure out how to program something using the car's documentation. Not such a great experience. Nonsensical website, unintelligible handbook. I called the 800 number and got put on hold for almost 20 minutes till I gave up.So back I went to Cityside, where Pete Hartelius was on duty. And, as with my previous Cityside experience, Pete was amazing. He read the instructions for what I was trying to do (enter just a few contacts from my phone, rather than my whole contact list), and found it as ridiculous and incomprehensible as I had, which was gratifying. He, however, did not stomp and cuss (as I had). He set about to figure it out. He was patient, confident, methodical, and totally stubborn. And he figured it out! I now have just the contacts in my car that I might ever actually call! And I have yet more confidence in Cityside as a wonderful business and a great place to take my car. (I will, though, be haranguing Subaru Central about their documentation tomorrow....there's no excuse for its being so bad. Grrrrrr.)

I have a new Forester with a little over 4000 miles. When I called Cityside to ask about service, I was encouraged to bring it in for a check-up to be sure all was OK. When I arrived at service I was asked if I wanted the oil change now or to wait two months for the recommended oil change. I said I would wait. So they looked over my new blue Forester, topped off fluids, gave it a wash and returned it to be with no charge.

I bought my 2003 Subaru Forester from you and have always loved your service. Plus, your reputation is excellent among my friends, as well. However, as much as I really wanted to buy my 2015 Outback from you, you just wouldn't match the price that another dealer, nearer my current home in Vermont, could give me. It was $1100 difference. It's interesting to me that Subaru of Claremont, NH would give me a discount to entice me as a new customer... but you wouldn't give me a discount to keep me.Tom was fantastic to work with! I felt deflated for him and for me when his boss would not allow him to offer me the lower price. Tom is a gem of an employee. Keep him!

Junior turned an overwhelmingly stressful experience into a memorable, wonderful one. And we got a great car too! I am ignorant about cars, and when my (very used) old car finally bit the dust I was terrified. I bought a subscription to Consumer Reports, started reading, saw the great reliability records for Subarus, but was overwhelmed with options and my lack of understanding. Then I remembered that Cityside had always been reliable in taking care of our old Subaru some years ago, and they got great reviews from my neighbors. A trusted relationship seemed like the best place for me to start my search. So off I went to Cityside, found Junior, and had an informative, useful education in car-buying--all of which I checked out with friends and Consumer Reports and found to be accurate. Junior started with my needs and wants, and stayed on my side through the whole transaction. He helped me and my daughter pick the right car at the right price with the right options for us. He knew--as did everyone we spoke with at Cityside--that a happy customer builds the best business. Everything was transparent, from start to finish. Options were explained, extras were offered, no pressure was applied at any point along the way. I was able to think clearly about what I needed and wanted, and I walked away feeling taken care of and listened to. How rare is that? I finished up the paperwork with John Melvin, and again felt educated and confident every step of the way. I am so pleased with my car and with my relationship with Cityside.

After driving a Mini for 11 years, I decided that I wanted a more conventional car but one with style and a reputation for really good handling in the snow. My husband is still driving a 12 year old Subaru that he got at Cityside, and he loves it. So I decided to give it a try.My experience was absolutely great. I worked mostly with Dan Rzepnicki, who was very knowledgable and thorough. He really knew the cars and listened to what I said about my preferences. He let me test drive them by myself, which I appreciated. His manner was low key but very engaged; I never felt pushed or pressured in the least. Dan was very professional, friendly but not overly familiar, informative, and helpful. I felt that I was in very good hands; I trusted him and bought a car a few days later. I could not be happier.

My review can best be said through the THANK YOU note I sent to Mark Lidano, the salesperson who helped me. What do you don't see is the photo of me, as happy as can be, in my new (used) car .... or the THANK YOU note in my hand.Dear Mark,Im not sure how I can begin to Thank You. When I said to Nick, Knowing me all these years, who do you think would be the best person for me to work with? he suggested you. He couldnt have been more right. And thus, I am grateful to Nick as well.I was, and continue to be, so appreciative of the way in which you were so consistently patient in listening to my situation and needs, while always demonstrating such a complete understanding of all the considerations, challenges, and anxieties. You didnt write me off as impossible to satisfy or solve the dilemma, but continued to work with me as we computed and balanced the options. In actuality, you were a strong partner in even creating that there were options.I wasnt going to be a customer with a large profit margin, yet you attended to me in time and energy as if I were. When we talked, you were fully present, and all the while, analyzing optimal decisions as numbers presented themselves and what would best meet my need and situation. While I felt like my back was against a wall, I also felt like you had my back . . . even if it meant no sale. You remained authentic and honest with me. You helped me keep some faith, even when things looked bleak.By some bright spot in the Universe, a car surfaced. . . with enough miles and age to approach my budget. Voila`. The rest is history. I was really lucky in that the car ended up having attributes where I felt safer than my 2004; an electric seat so I could actually adjust to be more comfortable, defrosters on the side view mirrors so I didnt have to wipe them down in winter, and windshield wipers that worked where I could actually see when it was raining! The bonus is of course the sun/moon roof! I cant describe that first ride home with it open and the blue sky stretching above my head with the slight breeze circling past my cheeks. It just about calmed my financial nerves.Thank YOU again, for you, and for all you did in working with me and making it all happen !Blessings,Judi

Best buying experience ever with this fabulous dealer, agent and financier. Pete Hartelius was our sales agent; he is absolutely fantastic and I'd recommend him to anyone, especially to clients who are turned off by pushy sales people (and who isn't worried about that when you come to a new car dealer?). Pete is very warm, friendly person who cares about his buyers. Right off the bat he listened to what we wanted, and truthfully advised us, and kept us from buying an overpriced model. That and other details created a trusting relationship in which we felt comfortable getting his input on several other decisions about upgrades. Just A+++ superb experience overall. Next, John Melvin was our wonderful finance agent. John was very detail oriented, and patient as well with all of our questions (we had a lot). He gave us about 6 different warranty extension options and made us feel comfortable. We appreciated this especially even when we had to be honest and talk about our limited budget which required us to turn down some options. In the end, Pete and John worked with our limitations and got us a very good deal on an Impreza, a trade in, plus an extended warranty and maintenance plan that did not break the bank. These are the kind of salespeople that really make a difference between a sale and rejection, because when you purchase a car and are local, you need to know you can TRUST the dealership, as you will be using using their service/repairs department for years to come. Finally, in case it matters to anyone reading this, the entire dealership is super dog-friendly, and many of the agents/staff have adopted rescue dogs (we found this out when we asked about a dog bowl set out on the sales floor). It feels good to patronize an agency that does good for rescue animals. :)

We started the process dreading the car-buying experience. Worse still, on the day we were finally ready to purchase, we started the morning with a bad experience at another local Subaru dealership. But we kept going and drove on to Belmont for our next appointment with Glen Dalton at Citiside. What a difference both sales person and dealership make! The staff members at Citiside were all friendly and helpful. We were especially impressed by Glen, in particular. His no-pressure and easy manner complimented his knowledge and professionalism. He helped us get the car we wanted in the color we preferred at a comfortable price. Moreover, he worked hard to ensure that we could drive the car off the lot on the same day to save us another drive back to Belmont. We came away pleasantly surprised by a great experience!

I came to purchase a Subaru for many reasons: AWD vehicle, reliability, and proximity of dealership. I contacted CitySide through their website, and was contacted by Mark Lidano. I was looking for a Forester without bells and whistles. Mark never pressured, asked appropriate questions about my needs, and gave me a fair price. Overall, an easy buying experience.

Favio was the salesperson that I worked with and he was very accommodating when I requested that all negotiation was in terms of out the door cost and helped me fill several blank papers with sums as we worked through the process. That said I was initially told that a car with just the features I wanted wasn't available in the northeast, so got talked into a car with more features, which was more expensive. Then we talked up the price a bit based on the higher sticker price, then we found out that car was actually sold (was at a different dealership). Then magically a car with just the features I wanted and no more was found on an incoming shipment, but I had already admitted to being willing to pay X, which weakened my ability to talk back down again. In the end I feel like I do feel like I got a reasonable deal, but the path there meant that I probably paid a bit more than I would have otherwise, and more than I had wanted to when I walked in.

Glen Dalton was very helpful. We needed to buy a new car, but we have a garage with a small door. Glen seamlessly arrange for us to test drive, and to see if a Legacy actually would fit into the garage. It did. Cityside had a large inventory to choose from.

This was my first experience buying a car and I must say - it was relatively painless. From all the horror stories I'd heard about buying cars, I was not expecting this to be as pleasant as it was. Dan was kind and friendly, and I never felt rushed or pushed into anything. I hope to have this car for a long time, but if for some reason I have to come - I won't mind! Thanks, Dan!

Junior from Cityside was the first to respond to my internet inquiries, quickly got me a test ride in a brand new 2016 WRX I was eyeing, and was professional, quick to respond when I called back days later, easy to work with, and an overall ideal sales consultant that you would want to work with on any major purchase. Definitely not too "salesy" and would be the first person I turn to for my next Subaru.

Tom nailed it. He was everything you'd want in a car salesman.

And I can confidently say we got a good and fair deal on a new Subaru lease without really any haggling, which is not always easy to say.Also, Tom was friendly and fun to work with (had some good laughs!), which is a huge plus.So thanks, Tom!

There's a reason why Cityside Subaru is Boston's PREMIER Subaru dealership. Not only is the buying experience very enjoyable, but the service department is the best in the business. When it turned out that my old Impreza needed more work than it was worth to keep it safely on the road, Cityside was my choice yet again for a new car and I couldn't be happier.

Peter Rosenberg came highly recommended and he didn't disappoint. From the start he welcomed our family and proceeded to help us through the emotionally charged process of selecting and purchasing a new car. Something we never did together. My last "new" car was bought before I was married. So, when we decided to go the new car route, we wanted the best experience. We KNEW we wanted a Subaru. That was a given. Our Outbacks have served us well. The tricky part was figuring out what everyone in the family wanted and needed including our teenage daughter. Peter engaged everyone involved inquiring of us our requirements and desires in a car. We came out with the best car for us as a family, the 2015 Impreza Sport. I continue to reach out to Peter as questions arise. Since our new car has so much tech, there is a bit of a learning curve. Thank you to Peter and the entire Cityside Subaru family for making our car buying experience a pleasure!

Working with Junior was a pleasure. He stuck with us as we vacillated, first between new vs. used, and then later over the advantages/disadvantages of an older model vs. newer. All of which was complicated by the special criteria related to the comfort of our older, large breed dog. He never pressured. He always asked what more he could be doing. In the negotiation phase, he stepped up and got us a great price. Then he went the extra mile to have some repairs taken care of. He even returned to the dealership after his shift had ended to walk me through the final delivery of the vehicle. Everyone at Citywide Subaru was friendly, professional, and helpful. I'm looking forward to bringing our "new" 2012 Outback to them for service in the years to come.

We were referred to Cityside Subaru in Belmont by a professional associate when we mentioned we were in the market for a new family car to replace our aging Mercedes-Benz wagon. Since we were tired of paying an arm and a leg for luxury car parts and service, we considered a more economical alternative--a brand new Subaru Forester seemed like the right fit for us. My father had purchased one earlier this year and we had already had chance to drive it, so we didn't need much coaxing in that direction. Our sales person, Flavio da Fonseca, greeted us warmly when we arrived. He very carefully walked us through the steps: choosing a model and trim, test drive, valuing our trade-in, pricing and financing options. In less than an hour, we had come to a deal on a 2015 Forester within our budget. We would definitely recommend going to Cityside Subaru and purchasing a car from Flavio!

He was great, showed some different impretzas to me because they did not have the black on black in the dealership at the moment and he also said he could get it ship from other dealerships if I like. I thought my experience with Darren were excellent because he DID NOT pressure me to buying anything that I was not too sure about. He laid out the ground work with pros/cons about the car. Considerate excellent service would refer my friends/ family to go there!!!

I came to CitySide with very little first-hand experience with Subarus. The salesperson I dealt with (Dan Rzepnicki) took the time to familiarize me with the vehicles on sale and helped me to understand their features. He never seemed in a rush, and he made every effort to clear up questions I had as well as to teach me the ropes on the electronic devices in the car I ended up buying. The whole experience was enormously positive. Even now, weeks after the purchase, Dan makes himself available for questions I have or technical problems that arise.

We went from 2 cars to one with this purchase, so we went slow making sure both of us were comfortable with the car. The truth is that we took 3 test drives and a fair amount of Dan's time. We got no hassles and exactly the car we wanted. The working out the deal with 2 trade ins went smoothly and our perspective on the pricing was valued. We were treated fairly and with respect. I wish other retailers could do so well. Thanks again.

Once an agreeable price was reached Cityside did the rest of the work and I picked up my new car a few days later with inspection sticker already on it.

I hate buying cars. I hate leasing cars. I hate the entire experience. I have probably bought/leased 14-15 cars in my lifetime and have found that it takes way to long, I endedup spending more than I wanted, and I always felt that I had been HAD by the end of it all. Plus, well, don't get me started on the salesmen...That said, I just had a remarkable experience at Cityside Subaru in Belmont with my salesman Peter Rosenberg--Hands down, the best professional with whom I have ever bought a car. Actually, all the others were not "professional, " and all the other experiences were lousy, to say the least. Peter Rosenberg is in a class of his own!, and not just because he knows everything there is to know about the Subaru. More that that.Indeed, he is EMPLOYED BY Cityside Subaru, however, I always felt that Peter had my back and wanted me to be happy and satisfied with the car and the experience. Not only was he a lot of laughs and a truly genuine human being, but he also knew what we were looking for and CALLED AND TEXTED me as soon as it became available.In my line of sales we always say "Repeat business is the best business." There is no doubt that Peter Rosenberg will receive, not only our repeat business, but also the business of the many many folks who I will refer to him.Peter rocks! And, BTW, we also love the car.

Alex Stepanov provided a great no-pressure experience buying. We weren't even planning to buy the day we went to Cityside, just to look at the cars and consider our options.My old Subaru Impreza Outback Sport was recently found to have a failing rack and pinion system that was leaking power steering fluid and I figure that I could keep driving it for maybe another year while just filling it with power steering fluid every few weeks or so. There just wasn't a point to repair something that was going to cost way more than the car was worth.So my wife and I test drove the Crosstrek XV which was the car we were most keen on being our next car. We loved it but we didn't feel like we had quite saved up enough to buy yet. We weren't interested in leasing, but we agreed we would buy that day if they gave us their best price. Alex and the Cityside Subaru Team didn't play games and gave us their best price with financing which was within what we could afford and also took the old Impreza in for trade. No hassles, no muss, no fuss, and best of all no BS. For the usual nominal fee they took care of the inspection sticker and RMV paperwork and a week later we had signed all the paper work and were in our new car.We went to Cityside to look at our options and came out with exactly what we wanted at a price we could afford. You just can't beat that. Kudos to Alex and the Cityside Team.

I looked at new cars for over 3 months. I am by nature quite indecisive. I couldn't decide between a little car, which would be great in the city, or a slightly bigger car, which would hold camping gear and be more suitable for long treks across the country. I went to just about every car dealer in the Metro-west area, many several times. Some dealers want you to look, but not touch. Most would let me take a test drive, but only on a short route accompanied by the sales person. What I really wanted to do was drive around on my own, get familiar with the car in my own way.Peter was by far the most patient salesman I dealt with. I met him 3 times before I finally decided on a Subaru Forester. He never put any pressure on me, always let me have as much time as I wanted by myself with the car, made the available options and their prices understandable. He was helpful, but not too chatty, never pushy. I love the car and the buying experience was so much better than I expected. I think I got a great car at a good price. I'll definitely go back to Peter next time I need a new car.

We had a wonderful car buying experience. We felt very relaxed during the process as our salesman, Flavio did not exert any pressure and quietly and professionally guided us through the process. Our final decision to buy the Forester was based not just on its excellent ratings but on how much we respected our salesman , Flavio. We would highly recommend Cityside Suburu and Flavio to anyone considering purchasing a Subaru!

Salesman knew I was looking for a STI (used) with low miles. I was notified when one was available. Very professional and knowledgeable salesman. He worked with the service center to ensure the vehicle was ready to go and replaced any parts that were in need of servicing within a timely manner. The finance center also made fast contact with my bank to secure the loan!

Our first visit to Cityside really set the tone for our buying experience. We were allowed to browse the lot on our own, without being hassled, for as long as we wished. When we desired to speak with a representative there was no wait, Flavio was there to introduce himself. We continued to correspond with Flavio over a series of visits as we considered various Subaru models as well as other makes. Flavio set us off on test drives of all of the relevant models and trims we expressed interest in, and was very knowledgeable about the features of each; he inspired confidence. Flavio was also extremely patient as we went through our buying process while always being cordial in his correspondence with us. We never felt pressured, nor did he try to up-sell us with features or models that didn't suit our stated needs. In the end, we are the happy owners of a new vehicle - exactly what we wanted - and we would gladly recommend Flavio and Cityside Subaru. I should also mention that Michael was a wiz with the paperwork, and clearly communicated with us as we completed the sales process.

My wife and I have had good experiences buying new cars, and we have had awful experiences. Working with Tom D'Allessandro of CitySide Subaru over several months to find our perfect car was an exceptionally good, in fact entertainingly enjoyable experience. Tom was patient with us over time, did not rush us in any way, and served as a source of knowledge when we had questions from the complex to the simple to the just plain dumb. His know-how and sincerity, combined with a wonderful sense of humor made us feel safe, secure and cared for during the entire process.My wife and I have been customers at City Side Subaru for many years. We would recommend the Service Department to everyone. Now, we will also recommend the Sales Department, but particularly Tom D'Allessandro. He is a special young man to work with. Michael nelson also served us well as the administrator of all the finance, insurance, and DMV requirements for accurate paperwork.We recommend the entire process whole-heartedly.

I recently returned to CitySide to buy our family's second Subaru from Glen--this time a Forester. As he was the first time we bought a car from him, Glen helped me sort out the intersection of my budget and what I was looking for in a car given my family's changing needs. I would definitely recommend Glen to you and advise you to check him out on a day other than Saturday if you can since I'm not the only one who knows how good he is at his job.

Buying my first Subaru was a pleasure, no pressure. Test drove a couple of cars by myself, first plus. Most importantly Glen waited until I got back in touch with him, not vice versa which certainly would have driven me away. Feel I got a fair deal & Glen didn't try to over sell me on options I had no interest in. Looking forward to a long relationship with my new Forrester and Cityside.Would recommend Glen to anyone interested in a Subaru. Thanks Glen!

I really enjoyed working with Tom. We were buying our car remotely, moving to Boston from New York, and already knew exactly what we wanted. We called around a few local dealerships, and Tom was the most responsive and most thorough. He had the car we wanted and offered it at a great price. When another dealership offered the same car in a different color at a lower price, he matched that price for us. We did all the communication by phone, email, and FedEx for the paperwork, and everything was quick, efficient, and seamless.When we finally arrived in Boston to pick up the car, Tom spent a good amount of time with us inside the vehicle, walking us through the various features, setting up our phones with the car's bluetooth, and making sure we were ready to hit the road.We would highly recommend working with Tom and with Cityside Subaru.

Everyone at Cityside, especially Tom Dalessandro, was outstanding. I tried to buy an Outback in November 2014, but there was 4 month wait. I ended up settling for another car, and didn't like it. I went back to see Tom, who remembered me immediately, and now I am driving a twilight blue outback limited with eyesight. No one pressured me at any point in the process. The first offer that they made me on my trade and the new car was miles better than I was receiving from any other dealer. Kudos also to Nate and Michael Nelson. Great place. Don't go anywhere else.

We choose this dealership because of its good reviews and location. At the beginning our sales person was respectful and low pressure. After test driving, we agreed upon a price, shook on it, and made an appointment the following day to sign papers. The next day we turned in our credit report, agreed on a deposit amount and handed over our credit card. After a long wait the salesman returned (without the credit card) and wrote down a number that was $1200 more than what we agreed upon and said that was what they could do. He acted as if it was perfectly normal to change the price, no explanation, no apology, no returned credit card. After arguing we were rudely told by the general sales manager to go somewhere else if we thought we could get a better deal. There was no explanation of why this happened and we were treated very, very rudely. Only after we called the general manager and explained how we were treated did we get an apology. He did not, however, offer to honor their original agreement. (Both Subaru of Wakefield and MetroWest Subaru in Natick beat their deal by a significant amount. We went with MetroWest an honest, no-pressure, family-run business).

He and his team gave great advice and seemed to be more concerned about helping me find the best car for me than in hardselling me or upgrading me or making me spend more money than I needed to--which I really value. Tom also helped me get some additional after-market features taken care of quickly and with little fuss. A quick, no-nonsense purchase that left me feeling comfortable and happy.

Working with Glen Dalton on my purchase of a new Subaru Impreza Sport was ridiculously easy. In fact, Glen has forever changed my standard for the ideal car buying experience. Glen immediately assessed my priorities and terms and then set out to meet my expectations. Within literally 20 minutes I went from a mere promise to a friend to test-drive a Subaru to - "that's the car," "I want it in Silver", and least likely of all "this is what I want for my trade in"...blamo - Glen took care of the rest. I sailed out of the dealership thinking, "Did that really just happen?" Then I left town the next day for a 9 day vacation and returned to the car of my dreams, with everything taken care of. Registered, inspected, full tank, hatch back tray liner, radio and bluetooth and Pandora all configured to my phone and preferences. Best part of it all is that I'm in love with my Impreza Sport!John Melvin in Finance was terrific as well. He was efficient, clear, and reasonable. 100% positive experience all around!

We're recently in our 3rd lease with Cityside Subaru. The non-aggresive sales was one of the first things we took note of > none of the high-pressure pitches we were getting elsewhere. This dealership is actually a fun and relaxing place to spend a little time in and learn a bit about Subarus. Our salesman Mark Lidano is patient and super-easy to work with, and always available to answer our questions. The dealership has the new vehicle inspected for you as well, one less thing to have to worry about. Love the cars too of course.

We thoroughly researched what car to buy long before we got to Cityside Subaru and Junior Williams. We met Junior when we called to see if the car we wanted was on the lot. Junior accepted that we knew what we were talking about, and knew what we wanted. He made the process simple, clear, and quick. When our Subaru was totaled in an accident 5 months later, we went right back to Cityside and Junior. The process and experience with Junior and Cityside was even better than the first time. We highly recommend working with Junior Williams and Cityside.

I've been a loyal Subaru owner since I bought a new Outback in 2004. It was time to trade it in for a new one. I was not able to work out a deal with the dealership where I purchased and serviced the car.Cityside had some inventory on the lot of the particular model I wanted, but other than that had no experience with them prior to my visit. My sales person was Mark Lidano. To sum it up, I knew what I wanted, and Mark was professional, courteous, and incredibly efficient. The entire car buying process took about an hour and a half. We quickly determined a fair price for the new vehicle, a reasonable trade in for my old one, and we were done. Finance mgr Mike was excellent too. I'd recommend Cityside to anyone

My wife and I went to Cityside knowing that we had decided on the purchase of a 2015 Legacy in the coming month. We went in ready to buy, but also in no hurry to buy, if the deal didn't seem right or the negotiation process became frustrating. Within minutes of meeting Darren, we realized this was not going to be frustrating or pressured at all, and that he was really listening to the factors we mentioned in thinking about specific features we were considering in different Legacy options. He set us up with a test drive and worked up some very clear numbers to show us about various vehicles in stock, so we could see our price options clearly. He answered every question we had, both about car features and pricing, honestly and without an agenda. I would say his goal as salesman really felt like us settling on the car that we'd be happiest with. We did indeed put down a deposit on our Legacy that night, picked it up a few days later. Darren personally spent a good 40 minutes with us walking us through the infotainment and safety features, bluetooth phone setup, etc. We are not tech-phobic, but just the first car we've owned with all these bells and whistles. I called Darren a few days later to rave about how much we are loving the Legacy, and ask a couple of follow-up questions, and he was very easy to reach. I don't know what more you can ask for than a sales person who is courteous, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and a really great person to communicate with! Overall, Cityside really strikes us a dealership focused on positive customer experience. We will be telling friends who are car shopping to head over there, and to ask for Darren by name.

Leased from Quirk 3 years ago and everything was wrong. They did not care and once I order the car they could care less. In contrast, Cityside Subaru cared from the minute I walked in until the minute I drove the car out the door. Everyone was interested in customer service and was extremely knowledgeable.

Glen and the team at Cityside Subaru were absolutely amazing! We felt no pressure to buy, and we were so lucky to have Glen looking out for our best interests. Originally, we had thought buying a pre-owned vehicle would be most cost-effective; however, upon talking with Glen and crunching the numbers, we found a way to purchase a new model vehicle for less than a pre-owned one. He went completely above and beyond the call of duty in making the numbers work for us. They found a vehicle with our preferred color interior and exterior, and I simply cannot say enough for the outstanding experience all around - from Rob, Glen, and the entire team at CitySide.

Flavio provided an appropriate car to test suggested a good route to experience the road conditions I wanted. I liked the car but was not ready to make the decision that day. He waited patiently as I did some research at home without calling me. I made an appointment about two weeks later to decide on the car and negotiate a deal. I was not interested in any car that was readily available and I was willing to wait for what I wanted. His prediction about the length of the wait very accurate. The exact car I wanted, model color and options was delivered after a short, informative and also low key meeting with the business/finance person, Mike. It was a great experience start to finish.

My wife and I both bought new Subaru's from CityySide. My wife bought a fully loaded Forrester back in March. CitySide was extremely patient with the process, and intensely competitive versus 3 other Subaru dealerships in Greater Boston. The two biggest surprises were the unhurried and extraordinarily thorough training on the new Forrester from Tom; as well as a lot of time spent sync'ing Sally's smartphone and underlying data with the Car's sophisticated electronics. The second was that the financial process was wonderfully low-key and friendly with Mike, with all the heavy paperwork lifting done well in advance and every option explained and discussed at our own pace.When it came time for me to explore buying my own car a month later, both gentlemen could not possibly have gone out of their way to make sure I got the best deal out there; and both provided the same terrific purchase-and-training assistance.I'd go back in a heartbeat.Chuck Ellis

A pleasant, expeditious purchase of a new Subaru Outback (April 2014). I had researched the car on the Consumer Reports site and had an idea of the costs and options available...it is easier for everyone if a bit of research has been done. The color that I had seen was not available on the lot; Mark was going to get one from another dealer. I ended up liking what he had even better (nothing like seeing it in person out in the daylight!). We agreed on a price with the desired options; hitch, sunroof, floor mats, camera,compass. All of this was quick and very simple...no stress.The options took a few days to install which was fine as I was out of town and the car was ready for my return. I donated my old Outback (215,000 miles) and they made that process easy...it was OK to leave it on the lot to be picked up later.

We were in the market for a new car and had heard many good things about Subaru's. After having searched online Cityside appeared to be one of the biggest in our area and well rated. Right when we walked through the door we were greeted with a smile and introduced to our salesman Tom. He was very friendly and very knowledgeable with explaining the nuances of the car. Unlike other salesmen we had dealt with he was focused on trying to find the right car for us and not just a sale. We were allowed to take a test drive in one of the Forester's and fell in love with the car. After haggling the price with Tom and the Manager we came out with an amazing deal. The finance manager we dealt with was also very helpful with explaining our different payment options, warranty, etc. Overall this was a great car buying experience experience and I would definitely reccommend Cityside to anyone in the market for a new Subaru.

I was looking for a smaller SUV and started the search at CitySide because it is close to my residence and my wife has been complimenting their service department for the last seven years. The salesman, Mark Lidano, could not have been more professional or accommodating. He was knowledgeable about the product and the financing, and most importantly he listened carefully to my reasons for wanting a certain type car with certain features and refrained from trying to sell me things I did not want. As a result of his affable, experienced manner, I became the owner of a 2015 Forester the next day. Adding to the pleasant experience I had at CitySide was business manager John Melvin. He explained the financing clearly and concisely in a professional manner much like that of Mark Lidano. My entire buying experience could not have gone better.

We knew exactly every detail of the car that we wanted when we placed the order and the purchase part of the car was great and easy. One thing that will always be remembered is the brutally long period of the time waiting for the car to be available for pick up. We where very clear with the timing so we can sell our car and wait to receive the new one. It was understood by both parties that delivery times where good, but it turned out that it took Subaru a lot longer then expected and planed. As planed, we sold our car and expected to receive the new Subaru, but we found out that the car is still way out and no one knows how long it take. Now we did not have the old car or the new car and at first when I asked for a loaner car, my request was received negatively. After some discussions finally we where able to get a loaner car from Cityside Subaru. Other then that, we are happy.

It was terrific to work with Junior Williams on the purchase of our new Impreza. He's a first-class sales associate in every respect--personable, knowledgeable, efficient, straightforward and actually fun to work with (a minor miracle in any car buying process!). The negotiation was smooth and effortless as Junior ably shepherded the deal through to quickly arrive at a price that worked for everyone. The final price was fair (the middle bid of three) and made even more so because, unlike the other dealers, Junior was able to deliver the car in under 72 hours! At delivery, even though things were hectic at the dealership, Junior cheerfully took the time to give me the grand tour of the new car. (And, to make things even better, John Melvin was equally fun to work with on the paperwork, carefully laying out various after sale options--extended warranty, etc.--with good humor and no smoke & mirrors or pressure.) I'll probably be in the market for a new Legacy this summer and will definitely start with Junior. Well done!

Our recent purchase of a 2015 Subaru Legacy was made much easier by our salesman, Tom D'Alessandro. Tom was knowledgeable, helpful, and quick to respond to our questions. He got us the car we wanted with a minimum of hassle and at a good price. I would recommend him, and would seek him out for our next car. I also commend John Melvin, who graciously acknowledged our lack of interest in extending the warranty, though he was clearly interested in persuading us to do otherwise. He's a class act.I often approach car dealers with suspicion; in the case of Cityside Subaru, my fears were unwarranted. Overall, it was a pleasant experience,

I knew I wanted a 2014 Subaru Forester, but was dreading the whole process of buying a new car. Fortunately, my credit union had made arrangements with a specific Subaru dealership to guarantee the lowest possible price on new cars. Unfortunately, that dealership was at least an hour away, and I wanted a dealership closer to me. I took the offered price to Cityside Subaru and met with Flavio. Cityside honored the price that had been quoted to me with absolutely no hassle, and Flavio went over all the options with me in detail. He was easy to deal with and very responsive to emails and phone calls. All in all, it was a pleasant experience. I am very pleased with the car, and would certainly buy from Cityside Subaru again -- though I intend to keep this car for a long time!

I started car searching about a year ago. My experience at Cityside was wonderful and I made a good connection with Junior, but decided to look elsewhere for a used car at the time. My next stop ended with me in tears in a horrible pressure cooker of xxxxxxxx at a different Subaru dealership that shall not be named. I decided to give up!!! Every now and then I would get a friendly e-mail from Junior about the cars they had on the lot. I came back to him this year, knowing which car I wanted. They were friendly, helpful and fast. We test drove the cars we wanted right away, without an appointment. I never felt pressured to buy. They gave us an honest deal and spruced up our model with leather seats. When there was an issue with the leather, we got a complimentary rental car and the repair was finished in a day and half! The finance process was not as easy, but is it ever? We were still happy with the results. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed working with Junior and the dealership. I LOVE MY NEW CAR. And would recommend this place to anyone!

We decided to consolidate cars and turned two Oubacks in for one. We went into the dealership having a good idea of what we were looking for and was just deciding between an Outback or Forrester. We dont live close to Cityside (about 45 minutes away), but after looking locally we found they had the best inventory. We popped into the dealership very quickly on a Saturday afternoon with limited time to see if we could look at a few of the cars. We also wanted to see what the response was like from some of the sales people. Glen was the first to greet us, got us into a test drive quick with our limited time frame. We both owned Outbacks prior, so really only needed to test drive to see the new redesigned model. Glen told us once we drove it, we would want it and he was right! We went back the next day to finalize the purchase and determine the trade-in values. Working with Glen was an extremely easy process. He made the whole sale effortless and we never once felt pressured to buy. Because we lived a distance away, Glen made special delivery arrangements for us and remembered all the small features we asked for (floor mats etc). We highly recommend CitySide and Glen! If we decide to go back to two cars, we will be back to CitySide for another Subaru and to work with Glen again.

I had been to three different dealerships prior to meeting with Junior at Cityside. Prior to my appointment, I had informed Junior about what I was looking for and what I was willing to spend. I also told him I was looking to trade in my current vehicle. He was prepared for the appointment and had several vehicles for me to look at. None were above the price I was looking to spend. While I looked at the different vehicles, he had my vehicle appraised. At no time was there any pressure to buy. The whole experience was unlike anything I had experienced with a car dealership in the past. I purchased the vehicles and it was registered and inspected in no time. My great experience with Cityside continued with finance and Mike Nelson who was non nonsense and was not pushy. I recommend them highly.

Glen was a pleasure to work with. I had already picked out a used 2014. It wasn't the color I wanted, but the price was right. Glen reached out to me and assured me that CitySide would be able to find a deal on a 2015 model in the color I wanted. I was slightly skeptical given that my budget was sized for a used 2014 model, but they made it work under my budget! I spent the rest of my budget prepaying maintenance so I could save even more.They also took my trade-in at a very reasonable price. I walked out with a new car and I felt like I got a steal.

Tom was upfront and honest in breaking down the costs associated with purchasing a new Subaru Crosstrek. He was able and willing to spend a large amount of time to review options and discuss the details, something that would not necessarily guarantee him or the dealership my business. However, as most expectations surrounding car buying are shaped by connotations of murky salesmenship, Tom's sales tactic cuts through perceived shroud, and most assuredly counted towards my decision to purchase from Cityside. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience to work with Tom at Cityside, and I would refer him business if I am ever able, as my friend referred me.

Junior was not aggressive or intense, just friendly and professional. He had us test driving the car we wanted within a few minutes of walking in the dealership. We asked a ton of questions and Junior answered all of them thoroughly. When we wanted to take a day to check for competitor prices, Junior gave us a brochure and his business card, promising he could get us the car we wanted for a price that would work for us. We did a lot of research the next day, verifying the value of the car we wanted with all the accessories, and what most people were paying. We called Junior and made an offer - just under what the average person paid for that model with the specific accessories we wanted. Junior called us back a few minutes later and we agreed on a fair price. We definitely got a great deal. Junior made us feel appreciated as customers, and we were very happy with the entire experience. This is how buying a car should be! We recommend Cityside Subaru to anyone looking for a new car.

I used the Consumer Reports on-line car-buying service, quickly received a call-back from Cityside and made an appointment with Pete. At the dealership I was pleasantly surprised by their low-key approach and the service I received from Pete. He spent a lot of time explaining features of the Impreza to me and introduced me to the service manager and other people at the facility. I am really enjoying the Impreza, particularly the way it handles during all the snowy weather we have recently experienced. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Cityside and Pete.

I was already a Subaru fan as I had been enjoying my new 2014 lease for 3 months. Now I will never drive anything but - reason being, Joe Cisek. My car was hit by a driver who was going through a red light. I was able to get to the side and call a tow truck. My next call was to CitySide. I explained what had happened and that I would be having the car towed there. Joe started to explain that for body work the cars go elsewhere. He must have detected by my voice just how shaken up I was and told me to just get in the truck and bring myself and the car to Belmont. When we pulled into the driveway, Joe was right there to meet us. He told me the car was his problem to fix now and that I should sit for a few minutes and relax. He kept reassuring me that it was off of my shoulders now. I asked if I could call a car rental service. His answer was no. He said there was snow in the forecast (boy, was he right!) and he wanted me back in a Subaru. I know that couldn't have been the usual procedure. Within a short time I was on my way home again. I know this isn't really a service review for car repair but I have full confidence that a department run by a gentleman of his caliber can be nothing but stellar!

Cityside and Pete Hartelius earned my trust and advocacy with a no-pressure, high service level approach. From word one I was treated fairly and respectfully, and Pete distinguished himself at every turn. I first went in just to test drive an Impreza, and asked to speak with someone to outline the various models. Pete offered helpful info, patiently and pleasantly answered my questions, and we did the test drive. At no time did he push for a sale, and when I said I needed to come back rather than sign a deal, he encouraged me to do my research online and said he'd work with me, and that's just what he did. I called with more questions, came back in, did a 2nd test drive of a different model, and presented my research. We put together the deal I wanted, and it was approved within minutes. No stress! Pete's natural enthusiasm is genuine, and he negotiated in good faith.I was ready to write a good review then, but Pete said "wait til I deliver you the car, let me earn it". That speaks volumes for his work ethic and style! He's offered me ongoing support in learning about the car, and genuinely he means it! You won't find a better guy to work with. Cityside figured out people want to be treated fairly, and making it all easy wins by far. Pete's the guy you want for your excellent purchase experience.

I want to commend Pete Hartelius on his patience with an undecisive customer (me!). I've never had a Subaru and wasn't sure of their dependability; however, Pete took the time to answer all my questions and educate me on the Subuaru Forester which I was interested in. He spent a lot of time with me and did not flinch when I did not purchase before I left the dealership. However, I will be back to buy the Forester from Pete!!!! I'm sold!!!!

I had starte working with Tom D'Alessandro about a year ago when I had to stop the process because of a personal issue. We started up again when my old car broke down for the last time and I was in a bind. I can't emphasize enough how easy and smooth and fair he made the whole process He even arranged a loaner car at no cost when the car I was going to purchase was delayed due to the snow storms. Cityside has been a great dealer. Highly recommended.

Outstanding Car Buying experience with Pete Hartelius and Cityside Subaru. After an unpleasant experience dealing with a local "luxury" car dealer, (we were looking to trade in after purchasing a vehicle that they had sold us and they had serviced) my wife and I stopped in at Cityside to get some information on a brand new Forester. Pete didn't give us the "hard sell" and was very pleasant to work with. He took the time to show us all of the features of the Forester and we were very impressed with Subaru's safety record. We had no intention of purchasing a vehicle that day. However, to our surprise, they offered us a great deal on a new 2015 Forester and a generous offer on our trade in. To their credit, they came in with a strong offer to start and we needed to do very little negotiation. Although the Forester we wanted wasn't on their lot, Pete located exactly what we wanted and was very helpful pointing out the various features of the car. Several days later when I picked up the car, the great experience continued. Paperwork went quick and smoothly and Pete spent time making sure I felt comfortable with all of the car's amenities. He even helped to set up the bluetooth feature for my phone! I can easily say this was the most pleasant experience I have ever had purchasing a new car! Thanks Pete!

My car buying experience with CitySide Subaru, specifically, with Pete Hartelius was terrific. Pete made me feel relaxed and created the perfect car buying environment - filled with great jokes, straight forward explanations, and commitment to helping me get the car I had been dreaming of. I wanted him to specifically have my business even though they did not have my bright green car in stock anymore (I had to wait until I had recovered from ankle surgery to purchase the vehicle). Pete kept me informed during this waiting process, checking in about once a week, and he was almost as excited as me when my car came in. What else can I say, this was a terrific experience for me and I highly recommend CitySide Subaru and Pete Hartelius.

I have been involved with the purchase of one Outback and two Foresters within the past three months. My experience shows that not only does the salesman I worked with, Tom D'lesandro, care about his customers, but the rest of the sales force do too. I used Consumer Reports Build-a-Car program, received three offers, and Cityside matched the lowest, as in I asked, they answered in the affirmative, and we moved onto the next topic. Talk about hassle free. It is no surprise that Cityside is the number 2 auto dealer on the Boston's 2014 A-List of auto dealerships and in the top 5 for both the State of Massachusetts and the greater Boston Area by Dealer Rater.

Third Suabaru I've purchased from Cityside, and second time dealing with Peter Rosenberg. The experience just continues to improve. I reached out to Peter by email in advance to let him know what I was interested in looking at and test driving. He was very responsive and accommodated my last minute change in plans to meet me at the dealership when I was free. While Peter's health may have suffered a bit since I last saw him, it hasn't affected his game . . . He made me feel that he was genuinely happy to see me, remembered details about me and my last purchase over 4 years ago, and personally thanked me for the positive review I had given about that buying experience. The buying experience this time was decidedly no- hassle - yes, Peter and I had the customary back n forth about price and danced around the signing of a term sheet, but it was all good fun. In the end I showed him the price I was looking to pay, explained how I arrived at the number, he took it to the sales manager and we were done. No hard sales pressure exerted. I was satisfied with the price, evidently so were they, so we signed it up. The manager (sorry, can't recall his name) actually came over a bit later to thank me for customer loyalty to the dealership and expressed that he was happy they were able to meet my price expectation. The rest of the process was smooth - they pulled up my file from the last purchase and based on that history, did not try to sell me any extras, as they knew I had not purchased them in the past. We set a time the next day for pick up of the car, and they sent someone to pick me up at a nearby T station. I was done in 45 minutes. Over all, this is a dealership and sales team that appears to take seriously the customer experience, they remember their customers, and they make you feel that they actually care what you think of them as people. In the car selling game, that puts them a cut above. I would definitely return here when I'm in the market again for another subaru.

I had a very positive experience working with Tom and Jr (aka Nate). I went to 2 different dealerships before this one, and felt most comfortable and confident at Cityside. Cityside does things a bit differently than other dealerships, so that's important to know that when you go in. Lots of car-buying articles will give you tips on how to negotiate and advise you to not talk about amount of trade-ins and monthly payments up front and to do a lot of back and forth haggling at the end of everything. Cityside talks with you right at the beginning about what you're looking to spend and what you want for a trade-in/financing terms, etc. I actually found this process to be a lot easier, since it allowed me to be firm on what I could afford for monthly payments and how to make the negotiation work in my favor. I also had done a lot of research on different sites about the Crosstrek that I wanted- pros and cons, average prices, etc and knowing all of these things helped a lot during the process as well. Tom and Jr were respectful of the research I had done and did not try to discredit what I'd learned to make a sale, which I have seen other salespeople do. I got a very fair price for my 2015 Crosstrek and a good trade-in for my old hyundai. I had wanted more for my hyundai, but since they couldn't sell the car as it wasn't a subaru, I got less than I would have if I were trading it at a hyundai dealership. But they did negotiate to give me the minimum amount I wanted for it and I was able to walk away with a new car that I could afford, so I was happy in the end! Jr and Tom were great in that they didn't put on a lot of sales tactics and were straight forward and helpful. Tom even re-worked the finances for me 4 different times to make sure I would know exactly what I was spending for the car, trade-in, document fees, taxes, everything! They work as a pair, which is helpful b/c when Tom was busy, Jr was able to help me and vice versa. I went there over two different days to do the test drive and financing, and then I went back two days later to pick up the car. Throughout all of that time, Tom was quickly responsive to my calls and texts.When I got home the night I got my car, I saw some very superficial scratches that had occurred during the transportation of the car to the dealership and I brought it back the next day and they buffed it out within 20 minutes without any hassle. Tom and Jr made sure I was happy with it and were genuine when they said to reach out with any questions or concerns in the future. I worked with John when I completed the final purchasing and contracts. I've read lots of different reviews about extended warranties and how sometimes they can be a waste of money, but I do A LOT of driving for work, so extended warranties make sense for me. John went over all of the different options and was able to give me a deal on them since I was buying two different ones. He was honest about which warranties wouldn't be beneficial for the amount of driving I do and reviewed all of the different warranties to find ones that would be the most beneficial. He didn't pressure me into buying an extended warranty just to get my money, he made sure it would fit my driving needs. The only thing I would change about the dealership is that they don't offer any service perks like other dealerships. For example, some toyota/hyundai dealerships that I went to offer free oil changes for the 1st year (if you go back to them) and free alignments/tire rotations, and other routine maintenance things. Cityside doesn't have any incentives like that, other than an extra package that you can buy to get those things, as opposed to offering them for free with any car purchase. But I guess the trade off is that they have a great sales team and are willing to make the negotiation work in order for you to buy the car. Everyone there treated me with genuine friendliness and respect, I didn't feel like they were trying to con me into buying a car just for the sales. Overall, I had a really positive experience and I would recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a Subaru at a fair price and who wants to feel like a valued customer.

Tom renewed my faith in Subaru as a place to buy a car. My first trip to the dealer left me feeling1. Pressured2. Like my trade-in was probably worthless3. Like the salesperson had no idea why I was buying a new carFortunately, that person no longer works at Cityside. When I went back a few months later, Tom greeted me instead. He took the time to listen to what I was looking for, listened to (and believed) my budget, and worked to get me into an outstanding new car for a fair price. As long as I'm living in this area, Cityside will be the first place I go when looking for a car.

I used Consumer Reports' Car Buying service and 5 dealerships responded sending me a Consumer Reports Certificate with their guaranteed price listed. They were all within $200 of each other. I chose the three closest dealerships to visit. One of them didn't have the Forester model I wanted. One did a classic "bait and switch"--the salesman told me their dealership could not honor the Consumer Reports Certificate price after all because they were members of a "New England circle" that did its own pricing! We walked out. At Cityside, my salesman took me for a thorough test drive, making sure we went on rough roads, winding roads and highway. A day or two later, I received a call from Tom, another salesman at Cityside, who said my original salesman had developed a health issue and the other salesmen at the dealership were taking over his customers but he assured me my original salesman would get the commission if I made a purchase. Oh oh, I thought. Tom has no incentive to take good care of me if he is not getting the commission. Wrong! Tom could not have been more attentive. Cityside honored my Certificate pricing and I ended up placing a factory order to get exactly what I wanted. During the wait for the car to arrive, Tom stayed in touch so I'd know when the car was being shipped and when it would arrive at the dealership. As a new Subaru owner, I had questions about my new car after taking it home and Tom has been very responsive to my occasional email and calls. This is a very busy dealership, but Tom has made me feel like I was his #1 client. All in all, a great and very positive experience and I've already recommended Cityside to my friends.

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.

We had previously driven some Subaru cars and narrowed our search to the outback and within 45 minutes Tom had us in and out of 3 cars for test drives. That evening we made an offer on the 2011 Outback and couldn't be happier with the car and process. Tom with friendly, flexible, and informative about the process. There were a couple of tune up items the dealership and Tom even were willing to do for me free of cost a week after I bought the car.

Let me start off by saying: I hate car-shopping; but, such is life that I had to bite the bullet and start the process. Like many of the other reviews on here, I sent out various emails and received more phone calls than I knew what to do with. To make things easier on me, I decided to go with the convenient route and head to the closest dealership, which was Cityside. I'm so glad that I did.I met with Tom who respected the fact I had done ample research and also compiled a quote that I felt was a fair price. Never during the process did he try to sell me on add-ons or questionable items and I really appreciated that. I felt that Tom also advocated for the price I wanted and that he would have regardless what price I named - whether or not it was ultimately accepted.Overall, Tom and the crew at Cityside made my experience great and I will be recommending them to friends and family - all of whom are lifetime Subaru drivers. Even if Cityside is out of the way, I highly recommend making the trip if you're thinking about buying a new car.

The reason I decided to purchase a 2015 STI from Tom was that he was honest, straight to the point, fair, reasonable, knowledgable, and friendly. I actually purchased the car on my first visit to the dealership after some email correspondence and found the whole experience enjoyable. I probably only spent 15 minutes in the dealership. Think about that for a minute. Why would I purchase a new STI so easily? I knew the vehicle I wanted which helped for sure, but also the way Tom deals with his clients is to help them get the car they need/want with the least hassle possible and the upper management team put together a fair price for the vehicle and value on my trade. I also spent time with Michael who also exhibited an honest, straightforward, pleasant, and likable personality and made a fair finance deal and what I believe to be a very reasonable 7 yr 100K warranty package for me. Michael even thanked me personally for choosing the extended warranty; I informed him that I chose it because the deal was fair but it was a very respectful and kind gesture to thank me for my business. I have also purchased some accessories from the parts department and so far the team there has been prompt and helpful and pleasant to do business with as well.. After the sale, I am welcomed to the dealership with any requests or questions and I get the sense that Tom and Michael and likely the rest of the team there are interested in building excellent customer service for years to come.

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 first visited this dealership on Sept. 26 where Alexey accompanied me as I test drove 3 vehicles. He offered to let me drive myself; as I was unfamiliar with Belmont, and had not purchased a car for 17 years, I was not secure. He was patient in explaining all the controls and gave me 3 good test drives. I was impressed with Subaru in general; but not comfortable with the Outback and Forester, which were so much bigger than my previous Ford Escort. I did not like the smaller Imprezza because of the lack of clear visibility out the back window. Two days later, I was "shopping" on line - ready to give Subaru another consideration because I did not like the other options I was turning up. I entered my ID info and Tom D'Alessandro called me. I explained that I had worked with Alex and Tom said they they work cooperatively at that dealership so I went in. I ended up buying a used Outback. Tom and Alex were both involved in the process at various points and shared the commission. Both of them (at separate times) let me know that one of the pleasures of working at CitySide is the cooperative atmosphere (and good product that sells itself). I now have a car I am totally pleased with, at a fair price, with a process that was marked by honesty, helpfulness and cooperation. I am grateful.

Peter Rosenberg approached us, a look of recognition dawning on his face, as we had once long ago fought on the same side in a losing battle. Well... it was either that, or we had once purchased an automobile from him. Subaru junkies are not difficult to sell but Peter artfully maneuvered us toward making a decision we would probably have made anyway. The difference between buying a car from Peter and anyone else is the fun. Ideally, acquiring a new Subaru should be fun...but in my experience many manage to wring the joy out of it. Where else and with whom could the details of this transaction be settled amid discussions of culture, art, philosophy and gender politics? He also was able to nimbly manage all the technical features of the transaction without breaking a sweat. I tend to buy a car and drive it until it can go no further. This method has always worked for me...but I now have a genuine regret...that I will not have any reasonable justification for sitting down with Peter for quite a few more years.

Being a used car gal for sure, I doubt I would have gone thru the process of spending such a significant amount of money were it not for the trust inspired by Peter. He sold our son his first new car . That experience was so positive for Ian that we embarked on a similar expedition. It is not everyday that one spends so happily and leaves thrilled and grateful. Peter is a top notch guy. He carefully answered all my questions, allowed me time to just sit in the car and was fun the entire time. He also spent time carefully discussing bells and whistles as well as issues of maneuverability and safety with my husband.Peter is an excellent car salesman. It was a pleasure doing business at Cityside . Everyone who helped us in the process was fabulous. Congratulations on a great Team!Hilda Dargon48 Hancock StWatertown,Ma02472

When we called to see if they had the model and color we wanted, they were honest and had what we asked for. 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.

The Subaru Forester has a great reputation, which was matched by Cityside, AND the salesman. Mark Lidano. Mark didn't pressure me at all and was very patient with me, even though I changed my mind a couple of times. He did his very best to accommodate me in every way and remembered what I said from one visit to the next - a rare quality! I feel like I got a good deal on the exact car that I wanted and didn't have to haggle over the price, which I greatly appreciate! When I picked up the car, Mark had everything ready and went over all the features with me....he even programmed my Bluetooth for me! So, this was a very pleasant experience start to finish! AND....I love my new Subaru Forester!!!

I found my car buying experience pleasant from start to finish. I enjoyed working with Peter and really feel that he is someone who I can trust, a very good salesman who understands that the ideal experience leaves both parties satisfied. He was very helpful and attentive without putting pressure on me, but instead attempted to understand my parameters. I would recommend Cityside Subaru without reservation.

My wife wanted a smaller vehicle so we went back to Cityside to look at a CrossTrak after buying our Forester there 3 years ago. We asked for Peter since he worked with us on our last purchase and he had always stayed in touch with post cards, notes, a holiday card with his own photography (he is a gifted professional photographer). We went in thinking we knew the specs we wanted but Peter asked a few questions and homed in on our needs within 30 seconds. Working with Peter was like seeing an old friend. He knew our kids, knew our preferences for add-ons, and remembered all the details of our last visit from 3 years earlier. We asked for a little more on the trade in and a little less on the Crosstrak and felt like Peter advocated on our behalf with management. Cityside has improved some of their back office processes so we were able drive off with the right car after two short visits. Peter takes his profession as a dealer seriously but doesn't take himself too seriously. He doesn't sell, he asks questions and advises and you get the sense that if the car wasn't right for you he wouldn't try to sell you. Cityside is a great business but Peter would get our business where ever he works.

My wife and I had an amazing car buying experience with Peter Rosenberg. The first price he gave me was one of the lowest around, and we finalized everything extremely quickly via email without any hassle. I didn't even need to come into the dealership until the car was ready to take home. He made the process very easy and enjoyable. We would not hesitate to buy a car from Peter again.

My business partner has been a loyal Subaru customer for years. When our company needed a new car, she convinced me that Cityside was the place to go... and she was correct! We couldn't be happier with our new CrossTrek and the professionalism, courteousness and straightforwardness of the process that we experienced at Cityside. We had the pleasure of working with Tom, Mike and Rick and will definitely return for future purchases, in addition to their outstanding service department. Thank you for making a potentially daunting process so easy... and enjoyable!

I decided that I wanted a 2015 STI at the tail end of June 2014. I sent out the usual number of emails and received a bunch of phone calls. I then proceeded to spend the day speaking with various people and getting "their absolute best price". Late in the day I got a call from Tom who cut right to the chase and gave me a price that beat everyone else. He didn't try to mark down my trade or say that I had to go over MSRP to get the car I wanted. He did not push me into getting a car that they had in stock because he knew the specifics that I wanted. Within 20 minutes of entering the dealership I signed an order for a new 2015 STI. No hassle about my trade and no hidden tactics. Not only did Tom make the initial order pleasant, he then put up with my incessant emails about my order status for the next 2 months. He kept me in the loop whenever anything happened and always responded promptly to my questions. Tom and the whole Cityside staff has made this purchase the best experience I have had to date in any car dealership. That includes Nissan, BMW and Volkswagon dealerships. I'm pointing anyone looking for a subaru their way. Both Tom and John own WRXs of various years and that made me even more comfortable since they are of the same mentality as I am when it comes to cars. Made the entire experience much less of a business transaction and more of a friendly transaction. If I ever lose enough of my sanity to pick up a BRZ in addition to my STI then I will head right on back to Cityside!

This is the second Outback that we have bought from Cityside. We always use their service department which is also excellent!! We wanted to pre-order the new 2015 Outback. Tom made the process very simple. I told him exactly what we wanted on the car and the color that we wanted. It was a custom-made car just for us! Tom called as soon as the car arrived at Cityside and we came down to see it that day. He offered us a test drive, but we knew that we wanted the car,so we declined. We were given a reasonable price for the Outback that we traded in and a very good price on the new Outback, which is in very high demand. Tom (and Alex) spent as much time as we needed to explain everything about the car. The navigation system is quite different than our 2010 Outback and they were very patient with us, also taking time to explain the keyless ignition, back-up camera and blind side monitoring. We really appreciate the time spent with us and look forward to working with them in the future. Cityside is a great Subaru dealership with a great service department that we enjoy coming to. We would highly recommend it!!!!!!

Tom was very helpful and listened carefully to the things that were important to us. He was very knowledgeable about the specs of each car, and how they changed from year to year. He made sure that I understood everything about my car, and knew what to expect during each part of the sales process.

Unfortunately my 11 year old Subaru Outback finally needed to be laid to rest. Mark and internet car shopping made buying this time around a whole lot more pleasant and easy.

Thank you Mark for always being available and for still working at Cityside 11 years later!

I had a Truecar.com certificate and went to this dealership to talk about buying a Cross Trek.I new the price of the car but as I had a trade in I had to get this priced. The salesman asked me if I had a value in mind which I told him from Kelly Blue Book. He then asked me if there was a price at which I would buy today but I indicated that his was the first dealer I had gone to and was looking to find out what they would give me for my car. I told him that I was going to one other dealer as well and ultimately would work with the dealer who gave me the best price as I thought that was the fair way to do things. The dealership that works for my business should get my business.He told me that they didn't do things that way but that he would check with the manager who was Rob and let me know if they were interested. I thought that that was an unusual response as competing with other dealers in the area is a fairly common occurrence.After several minutes he came back and said they weren't interested. Needless to say I was somewhat stunned as I have never been to a dealer who didn't seem to want to do business.I've bought a lot of cars over forty years and this is how I've done it for the longest time.I've used True Car twice in the last six months and it's worked out fine both times at several different dealers.This dealer just doesn't seem interested in selling a car unless I guess you walk in an are wiling to buy on the spot.I'm speculating but I guess he doesn't feel he can compete.A very disappointing experience.

Outstanding dealership quality: Tim Digaetano [sales] interviewed with kindness and effectiveness - defining our need, our research, his competitors offer. He did not have the preferred Impreza model/color in stock. He appreciated our desire to set up a long term relationship with the dealership. By swapping with another dealership, he and his team produced the preferred Impreza model and color in less than 24hs. We drove the car away in less than 30 hours, having test driven the car, sat with John Nelson [finance-customer oriented and having read what we would read about different finance products-e.g.warranty extension] for a well organized, highly informative, efficient, effective meeting, We were introduced to the details of the car by Tim, who also set up our Bluetooth. There were no shortcomings but rather honesty and effectiveness with warmth.

The internet has changed car shopping! I searched a 200 mile radius from my home and found a short list that I would go and test drive. The short list included the trouble/time/money it would take to visit cars that were far away. Cityside made that cut and when I got there they did not disappoint. Mark and Rob were awesome, my price point was met and they walked me through everything. Nothing was hidden, no strong-arm tactics were used. I never had to wait for very long at all. So happy am I that we are considering a new Subaru next year, and I would travel the same 100 miles.

Buying a new car for the first time, I was nervous to visit any dealerships. However Cityside was super relaxed. I worked with Tom D'Alessandro and never felt pressured to make any snap decisions and he never pushed more expensive models or features beyond what I was looking for. Ended up settling on a deal in a few days and I love my new car!

I traded up from my 2011 WRX (bought from this dealership) to a 2015 WRX. Even though I had bought all four previous cars from Cityside, I first did some internet shopping.. This being a brand new model and in short supply, the other dealers were very uppity about pricing. Especially Timothy Long of Quirk Works Subaru, who added a coupla thousand $$$ over list price. Cityside's Rob Krasow (from whom I had bought the previous 2011 WRX at a very good price) explained that my best option was to special order the exact car I want from the factory, in which case -- given that this car would not impact his limited available stock, but be in addition to it -- he could price it at $500.00 over dealer invoice. And that's what we did. I believe that I got my car for $1,500-2,000 below the other dealers' prices, and $3,000+ below Timothy Long's proposed deal. The actual sale details were handled by Mark Lidano,, the friendliest, well informed, and super helpful salesman you could imagine.

I spent time and thought on researching the purchase of my new Forester. My experience at Cityside was excellent throughout. Mark Lidano answered my questions thoughtfully and without any of the pressure that I encountered with other dealers. His price was fair, he was relaxed about my need to do comparison shopping, and our negotiation over price and my trade-in was direct and low stress. Once I was ready to move forward, Mark and Mike Nelson worked quickly, and the pick-up went smoothly. My encounters with other local Subaru dealers ranged from fine (Wakefield) to middling (Metrowest) to absurd and insulting (Quirk). I'm so glad that Cityside is also my closest dealer, and will be my service site!!!

My wife and I went to Cityside Subaru recently, and were immediately welcomed by Pete. His friendly and personable manner immediately put us at ease, and we were test-driving an Impreza within fifteen minutes. My wife loved the car, and after Pete had explained - in layman's terms, for those who aren't overly familiar with automotive terminology - the car's features, its price, and the process of purchase, we were confident that we understood what was happening and that we were getting a good deal on the car. He didn't skip over any details, and was always receptive to questions. He related to us on a personal level, and we felt welcome the whole time.If anyone asks me about purchasing a Subaru, I will definitely send them to Cityside and tell them to ask for Pete. We now have a new Impreza to add to our Legacy, and we couldn't be happier with how the whole experience unfolded.

AMAZING dealership. After having a nightmare experience up at Subaru of Wakefield, I came in to Cityside and they restored my faith and love for Subaru cars and their (usually) high quality of service dealerships.They got us into the new 2015 Subaru Legacy that we fell in love with for the same price as the other dealership that couldn't deliver what we wanted. Our Sales guy Tom Dalessandro was top notch as well as the managers and finance guys. Seriously, ask for Tom, he got us in and out in less than an hour with BS on what we wanted and getting to the tough numbers we needed on an extremely tough car to find! That is what I call an amazing experience.

I just drove home with a '15 WRX, and cannot say enough about Dan "Zip" Rzepnicki at CitySide in Belmont. I went to have the AC recharged on my '02 about 6 weeks ago, and on a whim, asked Zip if I could test drive a new WRX while I was waiting. I had chatted with Zip before who also is a WRX STi driver, and a true "car" guy, and he remembered me. I told him I wasn't intending to buy the car, I just wanted to try the new one - and he was like "No problem - but I warn you, you're gonna love it." He gave me the keys, told me to come back whenever I was ready. Two days later, I was back in Zip's office, ordering a new one. No hassles, no hard sell - just great customer service - and he gave me a great price on exactly the car I wanted. It took about 6 weeks for my order to come in, and Zip kept me up to date the whole time, and took great care of me when I went to pick up the car. I would buy a car from him again in a second and recommend him to anyone in the Boston area who needs a Subaru.

So we've all heard of the horror stories that come with purchasing a new vehicle: shady dealers, high pressure situations, and the lurking, sinking feelings of somehow being taken for a ride. And I, being in the market for my first new car ever, was very much dreading going through this process.Luckily, I had the opportunity to work with Mark Lidano and just kind of bypassed all of those preconceived notions of the car buying experience. Mark was honest, helpful, and very no pressure. I knew what I wanted and he worked with to get exactly that. It was great and chances are that my next Subaru will be from Mark.

I needed a new car that would be good (hopefully great) and reliable in New England weather! I had set my mind on a Subaru after much on line research and my son's experience with Forester (in PA). My good friend suggested this dealership and I went with him and selected the car with loads of features. My experience with the sales person was very pleasant. He advised on numerous issues ranging from the features of the car to financing as well. When it came time for the paperwork, it was efficient and highly professional. The car was ready for delivery at the time promised to me and I was able to close this deal and have sufficient time to go return my leased car at a different dealership. The sales person went through and explained all the features in this new car in great details and I am very much enjoying driving my new car. I have great praises for the people at CitySide Subaru.

Last Friday my husband and I walked into Cityside Suburu and were lucky enough to work with Tom DAlessandro. Tom happened to be extremely busy on the day we walked on, but he easily multi-tasked, managing the customer calls that came in while walking us through our financing options. [Side note: Big props to Pete for keeping me entertained discussing food/restaurants!] Most customers likely come into a car dealership on the defense, but Tom has a rare combination of being genuinely likeable/down-to-earth and having a wide breadth of knowledge about Suburu's products/financing options. Self-admittedly, Tom loves his job, which is an asset to both Suburu and his customers. When we came in to pick up the car on Monday, we went over financing/warranty options with John Melvin. Like Tom, John was super friendly and clearly enjoys what he does. He thoroughly explained all options and gave us some great recommendations. We felt comfortable and like we were fully informed when purchasing our Forester, and we'd highly recommend Tom and Cityside Suburu.

This was my first experience buying a car, and Cityside Subaru made the whole process convenient and simple. I was greeted by Mark Lidano upon my entrance of the facility, and from then, he guided me from the choice of a vehicle all the way until the moment I drove the car off the lot. In addition, Mike Nelson helped with all things finance. I definitely recommend the Cityside dealership to anyone looking for a simple and great car buying experience.

I went to Cityside because of the convenient location and met Tom DAlessandro outside the showroom. He was immediately friendly and helpful. Already the experience was much better than another dealer (different brand) that totally ignored me when I went into the showroom. I ended up bringing my husband back and he fell in love with a Legacy Premium. Tom was easy to work with, no high pressure. We felt totally comfortable with him. Tom knows the features of the vehicles - inside and out. The entire buying experience with Tom and Mike Nelson in Finance was much easier than expected. I highly recommend Tom and the Cityside dealership and would consider buying there again.

After owning my Camry for 16 years, buying a new vehicle was a huge step. I researched for days and narrowed my choice down to a Forester Premium. Then I contacted dealerships by e-mail, trying to avoid the dreaded "car salesman" pitch and pressure. When I finally had to go in person, I chose Cityside for its convenience and friendly reputation. By luck I got Tom.... laid back, open and friendly, no hard sell.... a good listener who gave me exactly what I wanted. I will recommend Tom to all my friends. I look forward to my maintenance visits just so I can chat with Tom some more.

After visiting a competing dealership and having a poor experience, my wife and I decided to visit Cityside. We enjoyed a much more transparent and friendly car buying experience and got exactly what we wanted at, what we think, is a very fair price. After the purchase, the team has remained attentive and seems genuinely interested in making sure we are fully satisfied with our purchase - which we are thus far. Would definitely use them again.

I was able to take my time test-driving various cars, and once I found the one that I liked, Tom worked with me to finalize a good deal as well as a fair trade in price. From start to finish, Tom provided excellent customer service!

This is the second car I've bought from Peter Rosenberg at CitySide. He is honest, transparent, super knowledgeable and very professional. He provided great suggestions and didn't pressure me at anytime during either purchase. In fact, he periodically checks in to make sure that my wife and I are both happy with our vehicles. You cant find that level of customer service anywhere nowadays. Amazing guy, amazing salesman, amazing experience, start to finish. It's rare to enjoy the car buying experience, but Peter made the entire process easy, fun and stress free. He was able to help me get exactly what I wanted. I cant imagine buying a car from anyone else. Highest recommendation!

The exact used car I wanted happened to be on the lot at Cityside, so they didn't have much to do. Mark, the salesperson, was available, friendly, answered any questions I had, and did not put any pressure on me to complete the sale. The finance group did go out of their way to help with a wire transfer problem that, in the end, resolved itself; it was nice to know they were willing to offer me some options. Overall a very pleasant experience.

Buying a new car can be a trying ordeal, but the staff at Cityside Subaru (especially Pete Rosenberg) made it an enjoyable and generally positive experience. They took care of every detail imaginable (plates, registration, inspection, extended warranty), and I left the dealership with a genuine sense of having dealt with honorable sales and finance people. I would recommend Cityside Subaru enthusiastically and without hesitation.

A lot of the Cityside Subaru team was involved in getting me the 2014 Impreza I wanted at a very fair price. Flavio handled me when I came in a few weeks ago for a test drive; very friendly & low-key. When I called last Sunday to come in (I knew it would be busy) he told me not to worry; I would be taken care of. The GSM Dan Rosengarten greeted me when I arrived; told me Nathan (Junior) Williams had been brought up to speed & would be working with me so I wouldn't have to wait. I knew the model & trim I wanted before I came in. Sure enough, we got right to it; he made sure we were on the same page on the model, then we talked over the pro's, cons and particulars of buying vs leasing. Man, these Subarus are terrific cars. I started looking into them for safety & the all-wheel drive, but the ride, quality & fit & finish is terrific. Anyhow, after working together towards what I felt comfortable with I ended up taking a lease at what I thought was a very fair price. Junior brought the right amount of questions and information and when we were close Dan made a couple of decisions (and helped me out with 1-day loaner) so we closed quickly and painlessly.For delivery the next day they were really busy (the Monday after month-end in the summer peak selling season) but Junior, Dan and John Melvin (finance) continued a really smooth, low-pressure, and satisfying dealer experience for me from start to finish. Before we started I knew about buying cars, but I really didn't know the details about how leasing worked, and everybody contributed to me getting comfortable with that choice. I'm very happy with my new ride and recommend Cityside Subaru to anyone.

After visiting several different Subaru dealerships in the area and having good experiences, I was quite surprised my the more typical very pressure-driven salemanship I found here. Where in other dealerships, I was greeted in a friendly but professional way, provided useful information that would help me weigh the pros and cons of different features as well as the various costs involved, at Cityside, I quickly ushered in, asked if I was thinking about purchasing today, then told to come up with a number, which was written on a piece of paper that I was told to sign indicating that if the manager agreed to that price, I would buy the car then and there. There was no discussion about the model of the car itself that I was considering. When I said I was happy to discuss prices, I was not comfortable signing a piece of paper promising anything at this point. The salesman brought me to the manager who just told me this is the way they do business and everything was negotiable in this business and this is the way they negotiate. I do not know how they continue to do business. The salesmen at the other dealerships, by contrast, were open and honest about the process about the amount of wiggle room in the price and the details of the option add-ons. The other dealerships also has lower list prices.

Peter Rosenberg is a great salesman with great sales skills. He gave me persistent phone calls to follow up my purchase over 2 months- I felt a little bit pressure, which made me feel "guilty" if I didn't stop by. He sounded sophisticated over the phone, but he became very personable when we met in person. He is very detail oriented, very considerate of customers and with unique personality. Great purchase experiences! Highly recommended!

We went to Cityside a few months back to start looking at Impreza's. We were met by Junior who showed us around, asked us relevant questions and took us for a test drive in a new car. He gave us information to look at and to help us decide which car we wanted. We were not ready to buy that day. We followed up with him a few weeks later and put an order in for a new impreza. It was seamless, painless and 8 weeks later our car had come in! We then worked with John to sign papers and do financing. While he did find a lower interest rate we went with my bank anyway. He was very gracious, no pressure from either John on Junior to buy anything or finance with them even though they had a better rate. We went over warranty information and chose which one we thought would fit our needs with John chiming in to give his input which was great. After about 2 hours we left with a new car! Would highly recommend Junior when you purchase your next car. There was no pressure, a smile, and he listened to what we had to say and came back with relevant answers. We were not comparing other cars either. We wanted AWD and had a subaru already but never bought from Cityside. We new what we wanted we just had to narrow down exact model year and trim line. But going with them made the whole experience of actually buying the car easy. I am sure servicing it there will be easy as well. Thanks so much Junior and John! and Rob... I'll see you for your next iPhone! Thanks so much . Josh and Amanda

When we went for a test drive, he was very calm and explain any details and options that the car had. Working with Tom was like being with a friend (this was day 1 of meeting him) THANK YOU TOM ! When it came to trading in my car, Tome introduced me to his manager Nate,again a pure pleasure. Nate was kind and very Generous with my trade in. Thanks Nate. Lastly, all my financing was done by Michael,fully explained everything before signing, he went trough it all again. I can't say enough about this Company.

I knew exactly what I wanted when I entered the market, and I had done my research. I tried working with a couple other dealerships and they refused to work with me on actual numbers, instead trying to talk about mystical numbers that apparently added up for them. I had visited cityside first for my test drive and came running back as fast as I could. Mark Lidano was personably, and took the time to get to know me. When I said I was ready to make a deal, we talked ACTUAL numbers and came to an agreement we could all live with.My girlfriend is going to get a new car in the next couple of years, I am going to try to convince her to get a Subaru from Cityside.

I have taken my 2008 Outback to Cityside a handful of times now, and the service team has shown they are interested in doing what is right for their customers. They have had multiple opportunities to try to explain a particular issue as requiring large repairs, but instead have searched for the simplest, easiest, and least expensive way to fix problems. This latest visit was for an issue with the steering rack, which could have been solved by offering to replace the rack or associated components. Instead they found a mis-applied connecting bolt, drilled it out, and put in new ones. A previous visit was for a sound with the wheels turned ended up just requiring a brake backing to be adjusted, which they did at no charge. Labor rates are not inexpensive, but that is to some degree to be expected at a dealer, but I think they make up for it by not doing unnecessary things.

My recent (and first time) experience as a Subaru customer has far exceeded my expectations for purchasing a new car.Within five minutes of entering the dealership, I knew I had come to the right place. Exploring the floor models, I enjoyed the ambiance of the light and spacious showroom. I then met and began to work with Mr Peter Rosenberg who graciously guided me all the way through the process of finding the right car for my needs. Truth be told, I knew I would be a lot of work for Peter since I had only a vague idea of what I wanted; furthermore, I am not what you would call a car person. That being said, Peter was amazing. In a professional but relaxed manner, Peter asked me pertinent questions and provided valuable information that I would never have considered when buying a car. There was no pressure and no hype. Even though I did not purchase my car that very day, I knew that I had found someone I could trust, and that did it for me. I am now the happy owner of a beautiful and affordable XV Crosstrek! I look forward to working with this Subaru dealership in Belmont, MA. For many years to come. Thank you Subaru!

This was my first time getting a car. During the research phase, the negative reviews I read about many dealerships made me dread the whole process, so much so that I put it off as long as I could. After reading some positive reviews about Cityside Subaru in general and Peter Rosenberg in particular, I called them and fortunately Peter answered. From that first phone call onwards, Peter has been true gentleman and a pleasure to deal with. He made the process I was dreading fun! He made some very useful suggestions when we were trying to decide whether to go with a 4-door or a 5-door. He was and still is always available if I need to call him with any questions (this is months after I signed the lease and got the car) and responds to my phone calls and emails promptly, even when it involves getting a third party to respond. This is truly standing behind your product & your transaction, and is much appreciated. As an added bonus, he has a great sense of humor. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed his company and conversing with him. He is truly one of a kind and a major asset to Cityside.

They treated us with respect and like intelligent human beings. Gave us a great price and a better over;; deal. Better price on the trade in too. No haggling, they just came right out and gave us their best! These people here are the best! Don't even waste your time somewhere else. Just come here and get it done! Very professional!

Had Good Car Karma, and meeting Peter Rosenberg will be always a Well Remembered Memory.Glad Peter was there when we visited the dealership, since he was assigned to my first e-mail to Subaru.He made us feel comfortable and he's warmth, humor and knowledge made all the difference to move forward and purchased a new Forrester, instead of the original plan of buying a used one. Michael Nelson in the Financing Dept. made the signing easy. Great Guys!

Peter helped me make the decision on whether to get orange or desert khaki, as well as providing me with information that helped me decide on an automatic versus a manual which I had only owned before. I was terrified of not having a manual in the snow and concerned about pickup without a turbo. He quickly arranged test drives of both models so I could see for myself how peppy the Cross Trek was and how the paddle shifters could fill my manual need. Test drives were set up at convenient times. Peter always made us feel comfortable and seemed genuinely happy to see us. He was responsive and thorough with all his communications and kindly followed up after the car was a few days old making sure I was satisfied. There are a number of reasons I have always loved Cityside Suburu, and my experience buying my new Cross Trek was yet another reason.

Peter's knowledge and assistance made the experience smooth and pleasurable. As a non car enthusiast I was not looking forward to going through the process of buying a new car. Peter's patience, insight and methodical approach were very helpful and appreciated. At no time did I feel pressured into making a rash decision, still the process was quick and easy. I am very happy and comfortable with my choice and love my new Subaru. I highly recommend Cityside Subaru and I very much enjoyed working with Peter. I know now that buying a car does not have to be a stressful experience, it can even be fun !

Back in 2010 while searching for a dealership to make purchase of a WRX, I met a surprisingly unique salesman at Cityside Subaru in Belmont. Peter Rosenberg was new to the job, the profession, and the product. Four years after the sale of the car, and he continues remembering me whenever I am in for service. During the 4 years of ownership, I was impressed with the service level I have experienced working with Joe Cisek, Nick Karamoutsos, Bryan Drysdale, and the team of first rate technicians - mostly long time employees. Case in point: less than a month ago after having a major accident in my WRX (which was totaled), Joe and Peter jumped right in and within two weeks I was in a brand new 14 WRX. Car was still at the port, so they lent me a car for the wait period saving me on rental fees. Dan, the sales manager did a nice gesture as well for my inconvenience. I am continually impressed with the car and this dealership in every way. They are efficient, trustworthy, and dependable as well as pleasant to deal with, and I strongly recommend Thank you Cityside!

Nathan , the sales manager, I/ we have a history with , from prior sales,. Nathan was who we initially spoke with at the dealership also made this sale and then coupled with Mark Lidano, the named salesman in this transaction. They working jointly in the success of this sale.This dealership is fortunate to have Nathan. His demeanor, his consistency, and his like-ability factor are a marketing bonus.. Mark Lidano works closely with Nathan,, and they have a good repor, makes the customer feel attended to and needs responded to. A win win situation .I have to praise Nathan for his skill and his ability to convey a smooth,unruffled , and approachable style . His sales leadership is clearly mirrored in his sales people in their style and manner. It is a great system, from this perspective. Dealerships are high on the list of disappointing experiences, and most dread the process and the sales people. This is not the case at City Side. That is worth a lot to the consumer.My remarks largely are about the quality and style of the sales manager and the sales (men), (they seem to lack women), in theiir sales personnel. The vehicle can sell itself. For me/ us, what will make or break a deal is the experience with the sales marketing folks. If they don't rmake the sales experience smooth and customer-centered, the sale isnt a go. They are part of the purchase price when buying a new 2014 Subaru Forester Limited. This was a seamless experience and my/our hope is that the marketing strategy remains and strives to be customer-centered. This one positive factor sets CitySide apart from other dealerships My only other comment is about their service department. I most recently had a multi stage experience around a vehicle with Nick, in service,He was helpful, responsive and great at taking care of the customer and the vehicle we had owned,

Working with John was an excellent experience.

Also, he was very knowledgeable about the cars. He was friendly and thorough. He answered all my questions completely. It was truly the best car-buying experience I have had.

This dealership had a large inventory and they were able to offer the best price in the region (I checked at least 10 other dealers in New England before making a final decision). They were extremely helpful with all the details, paperwork, registration etc. I've got there with a rental car and I left the dealership the few hours later driving a new Forester.Buying a new car could be a long stressful process, however my experience with this dealer was almost as easy as buying a new pair of shoes. Mr. Rosenberg is not the average car salesman, in fact he breaks some of the preconceptions one might have. Working with him was a real pleasure.The only thing missing was a good expresso ;-)

I never thought buying a new car could be so easy and painless. John Melvin listened to my concerns attentively, and suggested to order a brand new 2014 Impreza. I never felt pushed or compromised at any time. He was extremely friendly, kind and helpful. When I went in for a second test drive, he was with another customer thus not available at that moment, someone from Cityside immediately took care of me (I don't even know his name) and pulled up a car for me to test drive. What a team! I was shopping for a car from different brands/dealerships and I found the CItyside Subaru uses no hard sale tactics. I absolutely love my purchase despite waiting for a little over 2 months. John was informative during the entire process. He also took care of the registration, inspection, and with personal follow up phone calls after the sale. I would strongly recommend Cityside Subaru and John Melvin to anyone who is looking for their next vehicle!

Overall my dealings with Citiside were very pleasant. John Melvin, the salesman, was especially helpful and easy to work with. I did not feel pressured at all. I took three solo test drives-first in a Forester and then two in an Outback, the brand I ultimately bought. John explained the merits and workings of each car very clearly, but did not try to influence my decision in any way. One aspect of car buying I do not like is this "I'll have to speak to my manger first". I do not blame John for this--it seems to be a game that all car dealers indulge in. But ultimately, I think I got a fair price after a few such consultations with his manager. Another minor peeve is the effort by the business manager to sell one an extended warranty or service contract. No means no, although in fairness to Donald Ratcliffe he didn't push as hard as others have. Again on a positive note picking up the car was a breeze--Citiside took care of the registration and inspection and after John had finished showing me once again how everything worked, off I drove in my brand new shiny red Outback.

Peter was the best car salesman we've ever worked with. He was personable, funny, knowledgeable, available, and responsive. He spent unhurried time with us on two occasions, answered emails and phone calls, and made the total experience as painless as possible. We would have bought the Forester except that we decided to lease a Volvo sedan. The comparison at the end of the day was 'apples and oranges'. He did a fine job presenting the product and the dealership and we will definitely return when we are car shopping to replace our other car in 3 years.

After I posted many complaints Joe Cisek called me and apologized. He simply could not understand how I had fallen through the cracks. He said there is an elevator at the dealership and three waiting rooms so I need not have been cramped into the small TV room where I stayed for an extended period of time waiting for my oil change. He will invite me to the future new buyers clinic and tries to invite all new customers. He was surprised I did not have a full tour of the dealership when I purchased and picked up my car. He assured me that the dealership has many loyal customers and asked for a chance to build a relationship with me and offered to make a number of concessions.Yes I will return and give them a chance. My car has only 4000 miles and is only a few months old so I will be needing service for many years to come.I was glad he called me, and feel it is unfortunate that I did not meet him any of the three times I patronized the dealership1 when I arranged to buy the car and completed paperwork2 when I picked up the car3 when I took it for the first servicingI will return soon for a full tour and start from square one to know the employees there.

I lost a half day of work.They said oh yes your car is ready.I thought Really! When were you going to tell me?They scowled when I asked them to stamp the service manual. They used my eon and put initials there and told me to save the receipt. I had to drive down a very steep hill to the service center and then hobble up two flights of stairs to a dimly lit waiting room and was lucky to get a seat since some mothers with shiny kids had taken over much of gyro space.I gave a disability and an HP placard and my previous wonderful car dealer made many accommodations for me. Too bad Saab is out if business or else I would still go there.This Subaru dealer has no interest in me and I am not planning to go back there.

Peter breaks all stereotypes of a car salesman. He is refreshingly eccentric, charming, and a pleasure to work with. My husband and I bought our Outback with him in 2011 and I recently returned to purchase a 2012 Pre-Owned Impreza. Throughout the entire process, Peter was honest, funny, and devoted to creating a positive customer experience. I trust Peter and would recommend him to anyone who is considering a purchase at Cityside Subaru.

I was able to get the car I wanted at the price I wanted and not feel as though I was jerked around (at all). I am very pleased with my car and with my experience so far with Cityside. They were very responsive and professional through the buying process and have made sure to check in on me since I purchased the car to see if I am still happy with it. Customer service is very important to me and I can tell it is to Cityside as well.

I came into the dealership with certain car in mind - a WRX. Mark showed me some WRX's, but asked me a few specific questions about why I wanted that car. Turns out the WRX wasn't right for me at all (I don't want a car requiring premium gas). Mark asked me some more questions, helped me figure out a couple of options that were right for me (Impreza Sport and Crosstrek). Showed me those alternatives also. I went away for a month, during which there was an e-mail or two asking if I had any questions, but no major pestering. I researched. Came in a month later and took a test drive on a Crosstrek. I had researched - had a dollar figure from kbb that was below invoice (I was buying a 2013 in Oct 2013). I wrote the kbb figure on a piece of paper. Mark went away, came back and said "Congratulations, you're a new car owner". No dickering nonsense. Do have one minor regret - when it was time to close the deal, I was sent to discuss extended warranties, etc. with the business manager. I ended up purchasing a "Cityside Special" package: pre-paid regular maintenance for 36 mo + 36 mo extended warranty. I accepted the first figure proposed by the business manager - $2000. In retrospect, realizing that the business manager wrote the $2000 figure by hand, I suspect I could have negotiated that down a bit. Oh well still seems like a good deal. One other caveat.... I chose to get aftermarket leather seats - look great! And aftermarket XMSirius satellite radio - piece of crap. Reception is bad. I've heard AM stations with better reception than this piece of junk. I do not recommend aftermarket XMSirius satellite radio. But the overall experience was very good, hence the positive rating.

Oct. 11, my 2010 Subaru Outback failed on the highway just before a planned trip to Maine. After receiving a great response for the roadside company I arrived at Cityside, they said they would review the issues but would need time as this was unscheduled repair service. The service agent asked if I had transportation, which I said no, he then offered me a Outback to use until my vehicle was serviced. I asked if I could use it to continue my planned trip to Maine, he said just return the vehicle with the fuel in it. Cityside made an unpleasant experience turn to pleasant. This is why I will buy my next Outback from them and continue to use them exclusively for service.Thanks, CitysideRich

I had a fantastic experience working with Peter Rosenberg on finding a Subaru that both met my needs and stayed within my budget. As someone who has had previous horrible experiences at dealerships, I was quite pleased that Peter was able to find a 2011 Legacy with low miles and a 6 speed manual transmission without trying to put me in a car that I did not want. Also, when I felt that I was close to making a decision, Peter gave me a few hours to think about the car before I had to put any money down. His relaxed demeanor kept me relaxed, which also made the experience a pleasant one.

Sales Rep John Melvin listened to me as I outlined the car I wanted and searched both CitySide's current inventory and those vehicles that were on there way to the Belmont location. I know the service side of the business is very helpful providing regular maintenance and helping me identifying area's of concern. They do quality work in a timely manner.

Cityside Subaru came highly recommend from a friend and colleague. This friend and colleague actually made our sales appointment and came along to that appointment to make introductions. That is how we were introduced to Peter Rosenburg.Peter seemed very pleasant and easy to work with. He quickly set us up with for a test drive of a car similar to the one we wanted to purchase - the exact model we wanted was not available for test drive. I really appreciated that we were allowed to take the test drive without the sales person present as it makes for a much more relaxed test drive where one can really get a feel for the car.We returned from the test drive confident in the car we wanted. Working with Peter we came to an agreement relatively quickly and were on our way expecting our new car to arrive in 1-2 weeks.Fast forward to a bit over a week later, we were at the dealership, as requested, to take delivery of our new Subaru. Unfortunately upon inspecting the car we discovered that the clear bra that we had requested be installed had numerous installation defects/mistakes. Also, while Im not going to make assertions here about who caused the problem, there were obvious moderate to severe swirl marks in the clear coat on the hood of the car, and also, to a lesser extent, above the rear hatch. This is obviously unacceptable on a brand new car, and I made this known as politely as possible to Mr. Rosenburg.As we were walking back inside Peter even mentioned perhaps we can locate you another car. After Speaking with someone in the back, who I believe was Dan Rosengarten, the Cityside staff inspected the car more closely. I was then informed that while they admitted the Clear bra install was bad, and they would have it removed, they were unwilling to locate me another vehicle and I could take this one or leave it. At this point it was like we were talking to a different person. Peter was very rude and dismissive while trying to remain polite, which just came off as cheap and false. He was all but handing us our old keys and showing us the door. Peter even asserted that I, not we (this was apparently directed specifically at me and not my wife) would never be happy with a Subaru. Peter also stated that all Subarus come like that.Angry and frustrated but still wanting a Subaru, my wife and I decided to take a moment alone to look at the car again and think it over. We ultimately decided we would proceed with this car, if Cityside would simply pay for a detailer, other than their in-house staff, to do their best to try to remedy the swirl situation. I expect a job like that would be in the $200-$300 range. When presented with this fair compromise, Dan and Peter responded with an insulting offer to contribute $25 towards a receipted detailing. Add to that the stress placed on the word receipted and it felt even more like they were simply telling us to get lost.Peter did make one last attempt to convince Dan to locate another car for us, at my request, but that request was denied. At this point, as we were leaving, Peter would no longer even look us in the face, he was busy shuffling papers on his desk as we said our goodbyes trying to keep things professional as possible.[TL;DR] Ive bought quite a few cars in my time. I care for them very well, as we evidenced by my excellent condition trades Cityside was only paying me fair for. When I buy a new car I expect it to be in NEW condition when it's purchased NEW. Not in LIKE-NEW condition. The simple fact is Cityside attempted to sell me a NEW car that had been damaged while in their care, and when I called them on it, they backed out of the deal rather than doing right by me, their new customer, and even more importantly by friend and colleague, who by their own account has purchased 6 cars from them and referred many others.It's easy to be a good salesperson when your customers are happy, but when you're customers are unhappy, that's when a salesperson shows their true colors. My wife and I still intend to purchase a Subaru; however it certainly won't be from Cityside. We highly recommend you look elsewhere as well.

John Melvin was straightforward, friendly and knowledgeable and expedited our transaction efficiently and answered all our questions. The transfer of plates and insurance was handled with a minimum of work for us. So far our used Impreza has met all our expectations.

I had a very good experience with CitySide Subaru. John Melvin was helpful and easy to work with, and was very accommodating to my schedule and appointment changes. I love my new car and I'm happy with the deal I got for it, and the staff I worked with just made the experience that much better. Both John and Donald Ratcliffe were nice, funny guys who made this first time purchase a little less intimidating and easier for me. I would highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a Subaru.

The gentleman who dealt with the financing and completing our paperwork (who I apologize, but his name escapes me) did a fantastic job. We walked into the dealership for the first time on a weekend, asked a few questions, test drove a car, and with a great deal of help from the financing manager we were out of the dealership a couple of hours later with a new Impreza in hand. We were in a rush to complete the deal the same day. We had our information prepared before we went there (USAA had an online buyer program which guaranteed a pre-negotiated price with the dealership), which helped, but it was also because the financing person worked quickly and diligently to get everything squared away. Everyone was pleasant. We also used our WBUR member discount, which was wonderful.Further, I took the Impreza in recently for our first service. The service was done quickly, even though there was a waiting area filled with people getting a service that day. The waiting area emptied as quickly as it filled. The best part is that when I got home later that day I was checking my calendar and realized that I had actually had the service scheduled for the next day. Apparently I had read my calendar incorrectly and brought the car in a day early. The service folks totally could have balked at that and given me a hard time, but not once did anyone mention it to me. I feel like a jerk for bringing it in on the wrong day, but I greatly appreciate that they did not make feel like a jerk at all and that they went ahead and quickly serviced my car (and cleaned the outside of it as well!).

We went to a few car dealers that day we went to CITY SIDE SUBARU but only with them that we didn't felt we were pressured. That day I was able to buy my new Subaru Cross Trek. Buying from this dealership was very enjoyable and not at all stressful!!! I got the car that I wanted and am very happy with it. I would highly recommend this dealership to friends and relatives.

The only car I've ever purchased was a used Jeep Grand Cherokee 10 years ago. Needless to say, car shopping isn't something I or most people often experience. The guys at Subaru were awesome and very inviting and easy going. I never felt any pressure, never felt any bad vibes, just honest and knowledgeable responses. I think their customer service was the best part of the whole experience, they all insist on always calling if we ever had any questions. The other thing that I'd say was very nice was their patience. We were really annoying buyers and they never seemed anxious or disinterested in us, we really liked that. Overall a painless and easy, and dare I say fun process.

My wife and I visited a multitude of dealerships in our search for a new-to-us Subaru Outback. We found Peter at CitySide Subaru was far and away the best. Peter was an active participant in our quest to find the car that best suited our needs. Peter kept our expectations reasonable, he was forthright and honest and worked with us to find a perfect vehicle at a price that fit our budget. Peter still keeps in contact with us and legitimately cares about our experiences not only at the time of the sale, but afterward. I highly recommend Peter and the entire team at CitySide Subaru for your next purchase. Thank you.

My wife and I recently bought a 2013 Subaru Impreza working with Flavio Fonseco at Cityside Subaru. Cityside tries to make the car buying experience low-key and we found the process to be easy and even enjoyable. We really enjoyed working with Flavio. He is knowledgeable and has an extremely polite, easy-going demeanor. We also worked with Don Ratcliffe when picking up the car, and found that experience also to be generally easy and stress-free. We recommend Cityside Subaru as a place to buy a new car, and in particular recommend Flavio as a sales person.

We recently purchased a new 2014 Subaru Forester from Cityside Subaru. During the test drive, John Melvin allowed us to take the vehicle out by ourselves. We got to check out the vehicle to our satisfaction. There was no 'hard sell' that day, allowing us to go and check out other models/makes. During price negotiations (over the internet, which I prefer), Cityside was not the cheapest, but they were upfront about units in stock vs. those in transit (not the case with other dealerships). They did a price match that was close enough for us. Finally, during the sale, there were no last minute surprises, the paper work including insurance was flawless and quick. Afterwards, John took us around to meet with the service manager and his team. All in all, a pleasant buying experience.I cannot speak to the service side yet of course.

We went to browse at Cityside because they are local and had good reviews online. When we got there we were given a friendly greeting & were offered help if we needed it... and then were left to browse the lot as we pleased- just what we wanted, no pressure. We then returned another day to speak w/ a sales person. Alex was fabulous- had a very informative, no-pressure approach and let us test drive w/out him in car. (Other well-reviewed dealerships were very pushy compared to Cityside.) We then returned about a week later & bought our 2013 Impreza hatchback. Alex was great throughout the entire process. Our pick-up landed on Alex's day off, so Peter helped us and made it a memorable & fun day! This is our first Subaru an dare looking forward to driving it for a long time. We plan to return to Cityside for service, etc.

Dealership was better than I could have asked for! Never felt like the typical "car buying" experience where you go in expecting a battle and leave feeling disappointed. John & Rob were both straight-forward and honest and did everything in their power to get me the best deal possible. I come from a family of loyal Subaru owners and this has been the best Subaru experience I've had yet. Definitely recommend this dealership to anyone seeking a Subaru or interested in learning more about the brand!

Mark took the time to understand what we wanted in a car and also spent a lot of time explaining our different options. It was clear that he wanted us to get the right car. Mike was open and honest with the loan and contract. Great service all around! Thanks, guys!

I cannot say enough good things about both Cityside Subaru and Peter Rosenberg. It was my first time buying a car, so naturally I was a bit nervous and not entirely looking forward to the process ahead. I started at Cityside based on the recommendation of 3 friends who had also bought cars from them in the past few years. Needless to say, it turned out to be both my first and last stop. From the start, Peter was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is extremely friendly, knowledgeable and engaging, and he honestly made my first car buying experience both enjoyable and entertaining. Not only was Peter great, but I also found Don Ratcliffe and the rest of the Cityside staff to be just as friendly and helpful. Without hesitation, I would happily and enthusiastically recommend both Peter Rosenberg and Cityside Subaru, to anyone who would listen!

We have purchased several cars from Cityside and have been very satisfied. Michael Nelson was our previous salesman but he was promoted to finance manager. He recommended Peter Rosenberg, and I can honestly say that I enjoyed dealing with him as much as any salesperson I've ever encountered. He was knowledgeable and attentive, and understood it was my wife's car not mine. I very much enjoyed his dry sense of humor. I suspect we would be friends. He called to follow up several times.

I had my first experience with Cityside Subaru in October 2012 when I purchased my beautiful 2013 Subaru Legacy. I was very pleased with the sale and working with John Melvin and with the financing transaction with Michael Nelson. I drove away very proud in my new Subaru. Four months later, I was less than 1/4 mile from my home driving m daughter to a church event when we were struck by a vehicle containing persons heavily under the influence of alcohol. My daughter was trapped in the car and required the jaws of lif to extricate her from the vehicle. She sustained a fractured pelvis. I was more fortunate, with only fractured ribs. Both side curtain airbags deployed during the impact. My poor car was totalled, but SAVED OUR LIVES. I am a firm believer that we would have been killed, or much more seriously injured had we been in a smaller or less equipt car. One never really expects something like this to happen to them, especially when they are generally a safe driver, but it certainly can! It can happen a matter of feet from your home. After the dust settled, the shock began to wear off, I decided that I would head right back to Cityside Subaru and replace my Legacy.....with another one. My second transaction was just as smooth as the first, just as much as a pleasure to work with these fine gentlemen. I will always own a Subaru. My loyalties will always remain.

My old car was on its last legs, and I had done a lot of research about what I wanted. When I decided on a Subaru Forrester, I looked for dealers in the area with financing promotions. After I filled out one of those "Contact Us" forms on the CitySide Subaru website, I figured I'd have to follow up at some point. But within a day I heard back and my initial questions were answered. Once I heard about their 0% financing deal on 2013 models, I decided to head in.I met with Mark Lidano, and I cannot say enough about how helpful he was. I ended up coming in for a test drive, asking questions, and running numbers on Saturday afternoon, and after sleeping on it and talking about it with my husband, I went back in Sunday to make the purchase. Knowing exactly what I wanted and what my budget was certainly helped me in the process, but having a salesman who was well-informed, patient, and more of a "guide" than a "salesman" was what made me feel comfortable and confident in moving forward with my purchase. I never felt pressured, and he was great about walking me through step by step so that I understood every piece (even things I wouldn't have known to ask). I've had my new car for a few weeks now, and I totally love it!

Purchasing a Subaru Outback through Cityside Subaru with Mark Lidano as our sales representative for our SECOND Subara Outback purchase was an efficient and painless process. (I had also sent my brother there for his purchase of a Subaru through Mark about a year ago after our great first experience back in 2010.) We are hooked on Subaru's and would definitely send anyone interested in a Subaru to Belmont, regardless of the fact that IRA Subaru Danvers is much closer. Great experience!

We were in the market for a new Subaru Outback and headed over to City Side to see what they had to offer. Right from the beginning we worked with Mark Lidano who was able to quickly find the exact car we wanted, took us for a test drive, and answered all of our questions. Made it really easy to decide that this car was for us and this dealership would be the place to buy it. The finance team (Don and Mike) were excellent, they beat a financing rate that AAA had previously pre-approved us for. They clearly explained everything and didn't provide a 'hard sell' at any time. If your looking for a dealership that will work with you City Side is the place to go!

I initially went to Cityside because I was interested in a manual transmission Forester and they had more in stock than other dealerships in the area; I also had heard good things about Cityside from a co-worker who purchased a few of her Subarus there over the years. John was great -- an extremely low pressure sales approach, but he still answered all of my questions and let me test drive multiple models (I ended up getting the 2014 Forester in a manual transmission). I also really appreciated that when John didn't know the answer to one of my questions, he acknowledged it and didn't try to make up an answer (which happened at a Honda dealership when I test drove a CRV). Instead, he found the answer for me. Negotiations were relatively painless, too - no haggling, which I just can't abide. I already had financing through AAA that beat Subaru's manufacturer's financing offer, and spoke to Don about the possibility of Cityside financing the loan instead. I told Don that if he beat AAA's rate, I'd finance through Cityside -- and he beat it by 1.0%. He presented various post-sale options (extended warranty, etc.), and I ended up selecting the pre-paid maintenance plan.When I went to pick up my car, John was incredibly helpful -- he reviewed keys, manuals, warranties, etc. and helped me set up the bluetooth so I could use the handsfree feature with my phone. He also gave me a tour of the service department and introduced me to the manager there. Overall, the entire process was easy and relatively stress-free. So far, I am loving my new Forester!

I emailed several dealers for an out the door price and Cityside Subaru was equal to the lowest price quoted. Mark's straight forward and no pressure sales approach was refreshing. The whole process went smoothly and quickly no last minute extra costs thrown in, the price that was quoted was the price we paid.

The crew at Cityside made our car buying experience pleasant and painless. I was dreading buying a new car - the pressure, the haggling, the buyer's remorse - but none of those things happened at Cityside. John was friendly and polite. He let us spend plenty of time test driving cars, he was frequently ready at a moment's notice to review our options and, when the time came, to help us close the deal on a new Forester. The final part of our sale took place with Don Ratcliffe who guided us through the paperwork with an expert hand and answered all of our questions - again without stress. He presented the the post-sale options (like an extended warranty) but let us take our time thinking about what we wanted to do rather than pushing for a sale on the spot.Car-wise, Cityside had a great selection (there are more cars downstairs!) and we had no problem finding a very close match to the vehicle we configured and priced out online. I will definitely return to Cityside Subaru for my next car. Great job - thanks!

John Melvin made this an easy car purchase -- no pressure, clear answers, and a helpful attitude. I especially appreciate the fact that he was always available to answer questions but didn't chase us down to make a sale. The whole process was on our timetable, with our priorities in mind. John and Cityside in general seem confident that they have a good product that can sell itself. This is our first Subaru, so let's hope they're right!

So I drove out to CitySide Subaru in our battered, scratched, dented, dog-infested, and whiny 2004 Forester, which we'd bought new from the same dealership (and of which our English setter, Zack, in his puppyhood, had eaten the entire back of the back seat). My intention was to get an oil change and an 82,000-mile checkup, which involved checking the brakes and rotating the tires and a few other things. Waited in the very pleasant upstairs lounge/showroom, wandered around, admired the current models. And then it turned out that we absolutely needed, immediately, to repair the brakes, both front and back, and also that we would soon need to do something about a leaky strut, which would mean sinking quite a lot of money into this beat-up car. So I decided to talk with a salesman about possibly trading up to a younger, healthier used Forester. Was introduced to Mark Lidano, who was wonderfully helpful, kind, and patient. He listened carefully to my concerns about finances, pointed me to the perfect 2009 model, rode with me a few minutes to offer pointers on my (now quite rusty) stick-shifting technique (or lack of same), and let me take the car home to collect my husband and bring him back to the dealership for the dreaded negotiations on price. But those went surprisingly smoothly and fast, and we ended up with a combination of price, trade-in value, and extended warranty that seemed eminently fair to us. And then Mark personally took our aftermarket roof rack off the old car so that we could put it on the new one, and also removed our FastLane transponder, which we'd forgotten, and gave us new velcro to attach it to our new steed. Long story short, we went in for an oil change on a jalopy and came away with a real beauty of a car, pristine and immaculate, a gleaming silvery-green/blue with a moon roof and the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in. The next day we drove it to Manhattan, with both of our large dogs in the rear storage area, and a fine time was had by all. THANK YOU, MARK!!!

I had the pleasure of working with Mark Lidano who was a 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:).

Peter is exceptional. Certainly "not your average car salesman" as others have said. In fact, he is far above his peers. He approaches his work with integrity, patience, knowledge, and good humor. He really believes in his product (in our case the impreza) but more important (and we believe this is what sets him apart) - he truly cares about his customers. Through every phase of the car-buying process, Peter treated us with respect and care. We felt he appreciated us as people, even when we might have made him crazy through our long and obsessional car-buying process! He's also great company and we really enjoyed the time we spent with him. Overall, a great person who believes in his work and seems to really enjoy it. many thanks!!

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 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.

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 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!

This is the first Subaru I've ever bought. I decided it was time for AWD and I thought I should go with the pioneers. Buying the Impreza hatchback at CitySide was the best car buying experience I've ever had in 45 years! Flavio Fonseca was so easy to work with. He knew what I wanted and didn't try to push any extra things that I didn't need. He was so pleasant and polite. His calm manner made us feel very much at ease. He spoke highly of the owner of the dealership and how well he treats his employees. Don Ratcliffe, the finance manager was also very easy to work with....again explaining the extras that were available, but not pushing them on me. He also was pleasant and easy-going, very efficient. We did end up buying an extended warranty and the maintenance plan which seemed like a good deal. I'm looking forward to driving my new Impreza and I'm sure when it's time for my husband to replace his car, we'll definitely be calling Flavio. THANKS, FLAVIO!

I brought my Impreza in Sat, 3/2/13 for a repair and a wash. Apparently, as part of the service, they scraped off my 2013 Cambridge Resident Parking Sticker, leaving intact 2010, 2011, 2012. I discovered this only after getting a ticket for parking in a resident parking zone the same day. Now I'll have to pay the ticket and see if I'm able to replace the permit. I called the service center and was told that a manager will call me back on Monday. I had similarly bad experiences when I purchased my car and only returned to the dealership because the repair was covered by the warranty. I will avoid this dealership in future. Just a warning to remove all valuables and check any parking stickers when using this dealership.

I really liked the fact that there was no pressure to buy the vehicle. I get the distinct impression that Subaru has established a fantastic reputation and the cars are sought after; as a result the staff don't have a need to pressure customers or use cheap sales tricks to sell vehicles. I am very happy with my purchase and feel that Subaru will cater to my needs should anything come up with my Outback. Good job guys!

I would like to make some comments about Cityside Subaru and their well-run organizationI would first like to talk about Peter Rosenberg, the auto and sales consultant at Cityside Subaru. Peter is a considerate, knowledgeable, and personable sales professional that I am fortunate to know. Cityside Subaru seems to attract quality people such as Peter. I cannot thank him enough for his dedication, listening skills, and warmth. With more people like Peter, he would revolutionize the typical sales experience we normally associate with car sales/salespeople. I look forward to continuing to refer Cityside Subaru as the overall experience is excellent. I would welcome anyone asking me about this particular dealership as it has been one of the most pleasant experiences I've ever had with a car dealership. I think Cityside is setting the high standards that all dealerships should strive to attain.I would be remiss if I did not mention Joe Cisek and his excellent staff in the service and parts department. Again, their relentless approach to quality service and personal approach to auto repair and service are outstanding. The sales, service, and Subaru brand at Cityside Subaru are a trifecta of excellence that I value and respect.Best regards,Bill

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. 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 !

Overall, a very good experience (too bad "very good" doesn't exist as an option). Fabio, the Sales person was extremely friendly and flexible regarding our price criteria. Didn't try the "hard sell".Nathan, the manager, with whom most of the price negotiations took place was likewise reasonable, friendly, and unaggressive as we went through the negotiation phrase.After the fact, I found a slightly leaking oil filter, I'm told the result of the oiler changer putting on the old gasket around the new oil filter. (I'm thinking a closer inspection of the car by the dealer may have caught this).From my research, I would rate the price as very good (great is hard to check when spending so much money).

I worked with Peter Rosenberg on getting a new 2013 Subaru Outback. Peter knows Subaru inside / out and was informative and helpful - a true professional. He takes a low key / low pressure approach towards sales, yet is determines in finding a solution.

John was very easy to work with. He was not pushy or condescending and was very friendly. He even had cupcakes that his wife made! (Now you'll have to keep that up John). We worked out the price online with Consumer Reports and follow-up emails. WE PAID EXACTLY WHAT WE AGREED UPON IN EMAIL! He didn't try to sneak anything by us. Quick and easy. My only advice to buyers is not to expect to get a reasonable price for your trade-in. This is not John's fault, he is not who decides. I got such a low offer from them that I sold my old car privately the next day for almost 4 times as much. I did not like how John's manager was very pushy at trying to get me to do the trade-in by trying to scare me away from selling it privately. But, as I said this was not John's fault. Everyone else there is very laid back and honest. You don't need to brace yourself for the b.s. like at the other dealers. And the fact that we worked out the price beforehand separate from the trade-in, let me make an informed decision about what to do with my old car. I highly recommend John and Cityside for anyone buying a new car. All the other dealers either didn't get back to me or didn't take me seriously even when I presented the same offer as Cityside. They really are the best!

Everyone at the dealership was friendly and welcoming. The person we worked with, Peter, was a total pleasure. He was extremely respectful, well informed, and willing to accommodate whatever requests we had. Peter quickly helped us to decide which model was the most appropriate one and was very patient as I figured out the remaining details - color, interior, etc. The technology of the vehicle was somewhat intimidating for me. Peter was able to explain the GPS, blue tooth and audio system in such a way that I felt comfortable with the new equipment.I plan to buy more Subarus over the years for my family from Peter and Cityside Subaru.

I had a very positive experience working with this dealership, primarily because of Peter Rosenberg. Peter is a delightful guy. He was very respectful of my rather long-winded approach to decision making. Each time I returned to revise or refine what I was looking for, it was a delight to see him and talk to him. He likes to suggest that he know what I wanted all along. I'm not convinced. But even if he did, he certainly was great at respecting that I needed to come to that decision without any pressure from him.

Everyone we spoke with was very helpful and friendly. Everyone learned and remembered our names and we were always offered coffee, tea or water at every visit. We were given a great deal on a new (2013) Outback and were given a fair trade on our old vehicle. Mark walked us through every step of the sale very professionally and patiently. We never felt pressured or like we were being taken advantage of. Everyone treated us fairly, gave us factual information, and it was truly a pleasure doing business with the folks at Cityside Subaru. I would recommend this dealership for anyone looking to buy a new Subaru

When people ask me why I bought a Suburu I tell them it was because my salesman was so cute. While it's true Peter is very cute, I have to say that it was more than that. I bought my vehicle at Belmont suburu because I really liked the dealership and I had been to another Suburu dealer as well as Toyota and Honda dealers. EVen though I live on the south side of the city, I bought my car at Cityside and continue to have it serviced there. Peter has always been totally honest and incredibly helpful. While I was negotiating and deciding what car to buy, Peter was patient and thoughtful and supported me while I went through pros and cons. Aytime I call with an issue or a problem he is responsive and effective in caring for me. Yes, he is funny, witty, and cute but he is also a very good salesperson. I highly recommend people contact Peter if they are looking for a new or used Suburu.

Glen was easy to work with and we used truecar.com to get bids from multiple dealers after test driving at cityside. This made negotiations easy to do over the phone and Glen was very responsive and found a car with the specs we wanted at the price we wanted. When we came in to do the paperwork there were no surprises, everything was as promised without any of the tactics that some dealers are reported to use to try to get you to spend more. Overall a positive experience with Glen being helpful but not pushy.

What began as the last visit of the day in an initial exploration of several dealerships for a new vehicle, turned out to be one of most rewarding experiences of car buying I have had. From walking into the show room and seeing the BRZ to Peter Rosenberg's quiet question: "Do you want to take it for a drive?", I was thrilled. After a test drive, I knew that this was the car and after talking more to Peter, I would buy it from him. Peter was very patient with my wife, who can be a bit of a curmudgeon when it comes to sporty cars, on a return trip. The rest of the buying experience went very smoothly. Over the three months that I have had the BRZ, I have absolutely enjoyed driving it. It really is fun to drive. A couple of mates from work, who are also automobile afficianados, have said that they want to wait for a higher horse power model. I tell them that the car is fine as is (for me). First workday snow of the year this morning and the car drove just fine. I'm lovin' it! Thanks Peter Rosenberg and thanks CitySide Subaru!

I had always owned Toyotas; however, last fall when the time came to buy a new car, I wanted a hatchback, and Toyota's offering was a small SUV. I did a lot of on-line research and talked to friends and decided that a Subaru Impreza was the car for me. One of my friends had bought her Impreza several years ago at Cityside and recommended the dealership (as well as the Impreza), so I went in one afternoon. Peter was the salesman called over to work with me. I told him I was interested in a 2012 Impreza; he responded that I was more likely to find Bigfoot than find a 2012 Impreza. I like people who don't mince words and I like people with a sense of humor, so Peter was the ideal salesperson for me. The rest of my experience with Cityside and Peter was just as easy and enjoyable. Peter listened to what wanted and made suggestions, but never pressured me (the same was true of Don Ratcliffe, who answered all my questions about warrantees clearly and promptly).I suspect that Peter gets along with most people (and probably sells a lot of cars) because he is so genuine and spontaneous. I have recommended Peter and Cityside to friends because of my experiences, and I will continue to do so.

I recently purchased a new Subaru Outback from Cityside Subaru and couldn't be happier! I'm an auto enthusiast and I've purchased many vehicles (over 50) for myself, family, and friends. I did my due diligence and knew what I wanted and the price I wanted to pay. I was extremely happy with the way I was treated. Glen recognized that I was an educated buyer and treated me as such. He was very patient and honest. Each person I dealt with was professional, friendly, and respectful. I have dealt with many dealerships over the years... and NONE can compare to Cityside. Other dealerships (and businesses) should take note and use their customer service model!I HIGHLY recommend Cityside!!!

After weeks of research , a ton of emails, and one prolonged 'discussion' at another dealership (where the salesman would take our counteroffers/questions in to some phantom sales manager's office only to return with yet another counter counter-offer), we narrowed down our choices to two dealerships to purchase a Subaru Outback for my wife. One was in NH, the other was Cityside. Both were winnowed from research done through Consumer Reports online "Build & Buy" program (highly recommend). Edmonds has a similar service which is also very good. Long story short, we never made it to NH and bought an Outback Premium within a half hour of arrival. The negotiations were relaxed and, more importantly, face to face with Rob Krasow and Aleksey. Michael and Nelson were also low key and helpful as initial, and then final, paperwork was completed. We had a trade in, and perhaps could have made more money on it, especially through a private sale, but to avoid the hassle of the latter and because Cityside's offer was justifiably fair (plus the equally fair price on the Outback itself), we felt it was an overall good deal for us. Pickup was uneventful, and Aleksey spent approximately an hour with us going over key sections of the various manuals, and in the car itself to highlight its principal features. Overall, it was as pleasant and uneventful a car purchase as one could hope for, and we would highly recommend Cityside.

We purchased our 2013 Forester from Cityside Subaru about 4 weeks ago and we had such a pleasant and positive experience at this dealership!Peter Rosenberg was very helpful and we were very impressed by his excellent customer service. Peter gave us very useful information about the models we were interested and the price negotiation process went smoothly that we reached a happy medium at the end!The day we picked up our car, everything was taken care of. Don from the financing department went through all the details of the workpapers with us, so that we fully understood the terms and conditions. Peter went over all the details of the booklets and all things that we needed to know about the Forester with us thoroughly. After that, Peter showed us our new car inside-out from setting up our bluetooth to little detail like opening the gas tank door. I also want to thank Peter for his great patience with me since I asked him so many questions. We were very much taken care of! We felt very comfotable talking with Peter and he really provided us with the best customer service and it was such a pleasure working with him. Peter also followed up with us within a week we picked up our car to make sure that we are happy with it or if we have any questions. We are very impressed with Peter's exceptional service and the dealership. We will definitely recommend our friends and family to visit CitySide Subaru in the future. I have already been telling my friends about how excellent this dealership is. Of course, we also tell people how much we love our Forester!Jackie & Mike

Sales: Ordered car from them. Car arrived, sales guy said he called me for 3 days straight and couldn't get a hold of me, turns out he said he got my initial contact info wrong, so I asked tell me what's wrong with it, he said he deleted my profile.... ???? deleting a customer's profile, great move.Service: Obviously got my car somewhere else, but wanted to try them for service since they are the closest. Told them I need snow tires mounted on another set of rims and then put onto my car. So we got a scheduled date. I prepared for a whole week for this: need to get my youngest brother who just got his license half a year ago to tail me with 8 items (tires & rims) in the station wagon all the way from Boston to Belmont. Got there successfully and dropped off the items, thought everything's gonna be smooth. Got the call not 10 minutes later that they don't want to do this job because of potential scratching on the rims??? WTH? why schedule the appointment and make me do all this effort of getting there to tell me "NO GO"??!!Went to Subaru of Wakefield, got the service done. No hassle.

Both the sales and business staff are knowledgeable and very helpful. I made the rounds to several other dealers and found City Side to be the most professional and business-like. No hard sales, just could information and honest discussion about their cars and the various attributes and cost. They gave me plenty of time to consider all the various models and options and helped advise me on which was the best car for me. My choice was not the most expensive nor the fanciest, but the right car for me. They understood this. As a result, I'm extremely happy with my decision. The follow-up has been excellent and I recommend them highly.

These guys are top notch, no games. They did have "The Best Price". I had a terrible experience with North Reading Subaru with Dan the sales manager. He was the most unprofessional person I have ever met in my life. I placed a deposit on a vehicle and went there to finalize and he told me the "other" person emerged and he can't sell me the car. Then he went to say "I was there to fight". My face dropped, I told him I was there to purchase a car, after the second time Dan said "Your here to fight", I grabbed my things and left. What happened was they took one persons deposit and the person disappeared and management placed the car back on the market. I was notified of this and put my deposit down only to be insulted, disrespected and yelled at. Needless to say, this was a blessing, I stumbled upon Cityside and the experience was unbelievable. They told me an unbelievable price and stuck to it, no hidden agenda's. I went from being lied to and insulted, to being welcomed with open arms, not forceful or sleazy, but genuine and understanding. They work with you and are not out to rip you off or pull the wool over your eyes. I also had the honor of visiting their service department in whom I met with Bryan who was great. I failed to purchase an autodim mirror at the time, but they had them in stock and installed one at an unbeatable price. I've been referring everyone to these guys. A college buddy (Mike A) went down there and worked with someone to order his 2013 WRX and is another excited, happy customer. Thanks for everything so far guys and keep up the excellent all around caring, quality and pricing.

He understands his cars and he understands his customers because he really likes them both. Peter is the complete opposite of the stereotypical hardened, hard sell car salesman (which I had experienced at another dealership). In addition to being personable he is a great conversationalist and a lot of fun.Peter gave me almost two hours teaching me about how my new purchase, a new 2012 Subaru Legacy, works. I had just traded it in for a 13 year old Saab and had a lot to learn. This all took place a couple of weeks ago, in the hottest part of the summer. Thank you Peter and Cityside Subaru!

I bought my very first Subaru Outback last year from Citiside Subaru in Belmont. After researching tons of vehicle makes and models, I settled on the Subaru. Why? All wheel drive, excellent fuel consumption, great safety ratings - all criteria I had carefully selected for myself. But after dealing with 3 different dealerships on the North Shore, being made to feel like my business wasn't even important, I decided to leave a message at Subaru Belmont. Who calls me back right away but Peter Rosenberg. I explained my situation and the run around I got and the prices that were quoted me from the other dealerships. Peter's next comment to me is what really drew me to Citiside Subaru. He said, "What can I do to get your business?" For a customer who was frustrated and tired and ready to give up on even buying a Subaru, this was the equivalent of "You had me at Hello". My husband and I made an appointment to come meet with Peter and the rest is history. Peter was excellent and easy going and most important of all? He really listened to my needs. I am on a limited budget and Peter worked hard to get us the deal we wanted. I wouldn't work with anyone but Peter at this dealer ship, although I'm sure the other sales people are good as well. Now, for the Service Department - I live near Lynn and Swampscott, but commute all the way to Belmont to get my Subaru serviced. WHy? The service guys are incredibly friendly and extremely helpful. They know what they are doing and I feel "safe" knowing that my vehicle is in good hands. I absolutely love Citiside's service Department!Finance Guys - not so crazy about them. I believe they need to smile more and not look so unapproachable. You guys aren't working for the FBI...

In my profession as a chef I have to deal with salesman all the time, and am constantly being convinced to buy things that benefit the salesman much more than it benefits me as the customer. This was not the case with Peter. I never felt pressured or steered in any direction. It felt more like a family friend was helping me to find my dream car. I initially wanted a gently used car, and while he was putting together a list of cars that met my needs, he put me in a brand new car to test drive. When I fell in love with it, he found a way for it to fit my budget, and put me in that car to drive away with. Best decision I ever made was to pick city side Subaru, and I thank my stars that Peter was my sales man. In dealing with salesman every day, I've learned how to make all interactions as short and sweet as possible, but Peter is a guy you'd want to go grab a beer and a burger with, so I found myself staying much longer than needed every time we met. Thank you to everyone who made my experience with city side Subaru what it was, and I'd not only recommend this establishment and Peter, I URGE anyone in the market to rush down and see them! Thank you thank you thank you!

From the beginning, Mark was friendly and helpful. He answered every question I asked via e-mail or in person. He spent time with me and checked to make sure I was comfortable of my knowledge of the car. He throughly explained the differences between the Impreza Premium and Impreza Limited. When it came for a quote, Mark provided me with a much better price than I expected considering my experience at another dealership. Mark was not pushy and gave me time to think about the purchase. When I was ready to buy the car, he was available when I was available. Before making a deposit, he once again showed me the car I wanted to ensure that I really liked the color since my car would be coming from the factory. When the car came in, Mark checked with me to see how I was and explained that I was waiting because of papers from my insurance company, transfer of plates, etc. He introduced me to John. John carefully explained my extended warranty and maintenance options. I was a little confused but John patiently explained everything until I understood. He explained every piece of paper I signed. When we were done, he told me I could call whenever I wanted with questions. Mark then introduced me to all the people in the Service department and explained the service experience at the dealership. When we went into my car, Mark helped me pair my phone to the car and demonstrated the hands free phone. He checked to see that I knew all the features I needed to know to safely drive off the lot. He did not leave until I felt comfortable to do so. Throughout this whole experience, Mark's sense of humor and pleasant disposition made my car experience stress free and I am very appreciate of that. Since buying the car, the dealership has sent thank you cards and I just received a call from Mark to check in. What customer service!!! I am excited to continue my relationship with this dealership in the future.

We have bought two Subaru cars recently, a Forester in 2011 and a Legacy in 2012, both from Cityside. Our first experience with this dealership and John Melvin was so positive that we enthusiastically recommended them to two friends who were shopping for new cars this year (and they did buy from Cityside!). What stood out for us initially was John's refreshingly low-key approach. His patience and helpful knowledge kept us coming back. We have been pleased with everyone with whom we dealt, the flexibility of the deal, and ultimately our two Subarus.

It was a relief to finally find a dealer where it did not feel like 'tactics' were being used on me around every corner. The sales staff, specifically John Melvin, was extremely knowledgeable and courteous in helping me determine the right car for me and assisting me with a factory order once I decided on the specific vehicle. The price was very fair and everything from the test drive to the pick up was smooth and hassle-free. Based on my experience, I would certainly recommend this dealership and John to anyone I know.

My wife and I bought our first Subaru back in December of last year. We can't be happier with our purchase and absolutely love our car. Over time, what we've come to love so much about our car is not just the car (it's an Outback), but the entire car buying experience; and central to that experience is Peter Rosenberg at Cityside Subaru.Rapport. Honesty. Trust. You don't expect those words to be descriptors in a car buying experience, but for us they embody our relationship and experience with Peter. Rapport with Peter was almost immediate. He was attentive without being pushy or aggressive. He listened to us and answered all of our questions patiently. When he spoke to us he reflected back to us exactly what we were looking for not just in the car, but in the entire experience of buying and owning a Subaru. What we appreciated most is that most of this initial conversation took place in September of last year, months before we actually bought our car. We had informed him at the time that we were just looking. Even though there may have been other potentials sales that day in the showroom, he took the time to address all of our questions and concerns. Honesty is what we walked away with after our first meeting with Peter. He has a great sense of humor and a genuine ease about him. He's completely transparent and honest. When we walked away we did so knowing that all we had to do was pick the car and sign the paperwork when we were ready to come back to Cityside. When it finally came time to buy our Outback, we put our trust in Peter to get us the price we were looking for. And Peter really went to bat for us. He really did. And he and the rest of the Cityside staff made our Subaru buying experience amazingly easy and stress free. If you're thinking of buying a Subaru, go to Cityside and see Peter. He and Cityside are doing it right.

I purchased my last Subaru elsewhere, prior to moving to this area. I started going to Cityside Subaru for maintenance on that car for the last few years. The service department always took care of me and when it came time to buy the next car, I didn't consider any other dealer.

Peter couldn't have been more helpful. He supplied me with water and then coffee and much good humor throughout the sales process and when I picked up the car, spent a good hour explaining the intricacies of my new Imprezza. He certainly made me feel that I could call him again and he would be more than happy to explain the whole process over again. I don't think you could ask for more. Cityside appears to be a very well-run and cordial operation. They also appeared to have a far better selection than the other dealership I visited

My experience with buying a new car at CitySide Subaru was nothing short of exquisite. My car was totaled in a fender-bender and I needed to get a new car promptly. I was looking specifically at Subarus because I had heard what fantastic and reliable cars they were, and have had great experiences in friends' Subarus. I was looking specifically for a manual Subaru Forester with black interior. I found the model I wanted at MetroWest Subaru, however they were not a preferred dealer for my insurance company, so I wouldn't have been eligible for my insurance discount if I'd purchased there. Upon contacting CitySide Subaru, Michael Nelson was very responsive and accomodating to my needs - with a down payment to secure the vehicle, he offered to drive to MetroWest Subaru and pick up my preferred model for me and bring it back to CitySide Subaru for me to purchase that night! He and his team worked tirelessly to answer my family's questions and make the process go as smoothly as possible. He has also answered my service-related questions in an exceptionally timely manner. I was very surprised and impressed with how great the customer service experience was, and feel fortunate to have such caring people to address my future car needs at this dealership. Thank you very much!!

We recently purchased our first Subaru (a Forrester which is an absolute joy to drive) from Peter Rosenberg. Peter was terrific to work with - no pressure, lots of information about the car plus, the added bonus of lots of interesting conversation and exchanges of life experiences. When our son departs for college with the car eventually we will definitely be paying Peter another visit! We would highly recommend Peter and Cityside.

My experience was great. I came in expecting a hard sell, and I was impressed to find Peter who was helpful and informative and had a great sense of humor. He helped me find what I wanted, and sat in the car until I understood how everything worked. It was truly a good experience. In fact, I talked about it incessantly for some time afterwards, and my personal trainer went and bought an Ipmreza at Cityside! I have recommended both Subaru and Cityside to a number of people since then. I can't express enough how positive I feel about the service and the car.

This is a follow up of my previous negative review. Rob Krasow made an effort to reach out to me and made an appointment for us to look at a car. He was very friendly and apologized for my bad experience over the phone. My wife and I were very impressed with this dealership. We spoke to Dan "zip" Rzepnicki regarding purchasing a car. I really appreciated Dan's honesty. At the end of the day we left the dealership with a quote for Subaru Impreza premium with AWP and Nav. We were about to seal the deal but heard about the COSTCO subaru program. Unfortunately, Cityside subaru does not participate in this program and we closed a deal with Metrowest Subaru. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience. They were not pushy and were honest and easy to talk to. I would definitely recommend this dealership and would go back in the future to purchase a car.

Just bought a 2012 Impreza from Cityside after shopping around a lot. Never felt any pressure and the staff was very knowledgeable. After some online research I was afraid that bluetooth features of the car would not work for what I wanted to do, they let me sit in the car for 20 minutes just messing with the connections and trying out the features, answering questions along the way. I had another dealer (not subaru) tell me that I couldn't pair my phone with the cars bluetooth until iI had bought it, so it was nice that Cityside helped me out in this regard. I ordered my car with an expected delivery 6-8 weeks, but they got one in 3 and added my options at the dealership. Got a great price and never felt like they were hiding anything; very upfront about doc fees and other costs.

My experience buying my new 2012 Impreza was remarkable. Peter Rosenberg is the Zen Master of car salesmen. There was no pressure, no hustle, no double-speak, no up-sell. He listened and was thoughtful in his responses. He respected -- almost intuited -- my needs and concerns, answered all my questions honestly, and his enthusiasm for this new Impreza was infectious. What I appreciate most is that there was no rush, no stress during the process. All the final purchase details were handled well, and I drove away excited and happy in my brand new car. Smells so good, handles so nice. Thanks, Peter! Thanks, Cityside!

In all my years, I have never met a car salesperson who was more knowledgeable about product, honest, patient, and helpful - than Peter. He did a good job explaining the advantages of the Subaru Legacy, even though I was really not looking at Subaru at all - I had just thought of looking at one for the sake of completeness.I feel I got a good deal -for a Subaru - and Peter was quite upfront about the fact that Subarus come with a price premium vis-a-vis the competition and that there is less to cut out of the price. He never denigrated the competing brands -we only discussed why I might want a Subaru. Indeed since I drive upwards of 20,000 miles a year in the northeast in all kinds of weather, the Legacy was my best choice. I fact checked everything he said and it was interdependently verifiable, no hype. He gave me a lot of time, was very patient, never pushy, and played no games whatsoeverEveryone else at the dealership who I dealt with was helpful, went out of their way to make the deal happen on my terms, and behaved in a thoroughly honest way

Peter was easy to work with. He helped me find my new 2012 Impreza, custom to my preferences. I had to come with my four year old son. Peter found crayons and paper, and included my son in the process of buying the car. He even helped us move our things from the old car to the new car. We decided to get the service package with City Side as well, because we were so impressed with the service. Peter made me feel like I wasn't just a person buying a car. He got to know who I was and helped match me to my car while accommodating me and my son.

We bought a car from Quirk Subaru a year ago and had a terrible experience when we picked up the car - nothing was ready. We decided to give Cityside a try and were pleased we did. John and the other sales people were not pushy, they listened and they acted. They answered our questions and took the time to get the answers they didn't have. They were willing to give us the price we offered, which is always a plus. They priced out the features we wanted, folded them into the package and everything was ready when we picked up the car. The financing process was quick and smooth. We will certainly refer them to friends, use their service department and return for another car when we need one.

My wife and I went into CITYSIDE SUBARU after seeing that they had a high rating on the Dealer Rater Web Site. Note: we had previously gone to both Metrowest and Village and had less than pleasant experiences for a variety of reasons, that included being told at Village that the MSRP was the price, and being called on my cell phone no less than 30 times after we left Metrowest by the same sales person. At Cityside we met with PETER ROSENBERG who was very fun and pleasant to deal with. He gave us a competitive price right out of the box. He worked with us in an honest for forthcoming way. When the vehicle that we wanted could not be found in New England, he worked with us to order the vehicle exactly as we wanted it. Most importantly he and Cityside gave us a final price that NO ONE could beat. We shopped the price and realized we had the right dealership, both for price and the pleasant nature of the sales and management staff. Even on the last day when we were picking up the car, and we decided not to purchase certain service plans and such, they NEVER PRESSURED US to buy these items. If I purchase a car again, or if anyone I know is purchasing a car I will send them to CITYSIDE and to PETER. THANKS CITYSIDE and PETER!!!!!! WE LOVE OUR CAR!!!!!

I couldn't be happier with the experience we had at Cityside Subaru. We visited a lot of dealerships in the greater Boston area. Cityside stands out in a big way. We visited Cityside 3-4 times before making our purchase. We didn't receive annoying phone calls and emails once a day every day after each visit, just a helpful check-in to ask if we had any questions.From the people on the sales floor to the finance office, everyone is friendly and low pressure. You're treated like a valued customer, not another potential commission.At the end of the day, consumers have lots of options. There are a handful of vehicles we probably would have been happy with had we purchased them. To us, the quality of the people we were buying from made the difference. John and everyone at Cityside were informative and helpful. At other places, we felt like someone else was trying to make our decision for us. At Cityside, the decision was ours.

Our Subaru Impreza is just fantastic: Rock solid, fun to drive, well built, safe for our family, has everything we need in it and on it, looks great...and costs about $15k less than the marque we were originally seriously entertaining. How did this happen? We walked into Cityside Subaru wanting to test drive the Forester...and Mr. Rosenberg greeted us with a big smile and a handshake, and before we even said a word, he said "You must be here because of the news, right? I know exactly which car you need and want..." and he was exactly 100% correct! Great experience from start to finish, delightful, witty, humble and knowledgeable...we'd do it again (hoipefully we won't have to!) and have even tried talking several of our friends into an Impreza!

We originally brought our 2004 Forester XT in for repairs but at a certain point it became apparent that the car was in much worse shape than we originally thought, and we felt that it was in our best interest to buy a new (used) car. We were in a very tricky spot and it would have been easy for Mark and the others at City Side Subaru to take advantage of our situation. Instead, we feel that Mark and the whole team at CitySide Subaru, including the service department, took the time to understood our situation and went out of their way to make sure that we got the best deal possible. There is no doubt in our minds that the next time we go to buy another car, we will go back to CitySide Subaru and see Mark Lidano.

Think of him and the dealership as an oasis of clarity and dedicated customer care in a desert of sheistiness and confusion. Peter's approach to his profession is a breath of fresh after dealing with countless other dealerships. He takes the time to thoroughly understand your needs and price range and guide you towards the right solution whatever that may be.

It was great working with Peter. No hard sell at all, he just gave me the information I needed to pick the right car. I wasn't 100% sure that I wanted a Subara. When I returned after having test driven a number of other cars, I loved that he let me take the Imprezza out by myself. That let me really test drive it and kick the tires in a way I wouldn't have with a saleperson in the passenger seat. But I think the best part of working with Peter was after the sale. When he called to see how I liked the new car I mentioned that I couldn't figure out the Bluetooth. He said, Shelley, that won't do. I drove down and he spent an hour programing my radio and Bluetooth. (Way cool, by the way) I would highly recommend this dealership and Peter if you are in the market for a new car.

I bought a used 2009 Subaru Forester last weekend from Cityside. Until now I've only experienced Cityside from the service desk, which has been a top-notch experience despite having bought the car at another dealer. This time I bought from Cityside and I could not have been more pleased by the outcome.I made an appointment with Rob Gale, who was prompt and available when we arrived. He was friendly, courteous, engaging, and above all, patient, despite being busy with several clients as the day went on. He managed a natural balance between low key salesmanship and open and honest communication. When it came to numbers, it took two short trips to the sales manager and we had a deal - one we both felt good about. According to my wife not everyone at the dealership was having the same experience.Want a fair deal and plenty of pressure-free space to test the car before buying?

My experience at CitySide, but more to the point, my experience with our salesman, Peter Rosenberg, was not only exceptional, but completely surprising. I fully expected a salesperson who would first apply pressure, and failing that, would become disinterested or frustrated by my lack of "motivation" in purchasing a new car. Instead, I found a pleasant, intelligent, friendly, and relaxed guy who was enthusiastic about his product, and excited to share information with me, but apparently felt no need to pressure me at all. The new 2012 Subaru Impreza (which I am delighted to have purchased at CitySide) may "sell itself" here in New England, so that may have contributed to the atmosphere surrounding this sale, but I have to say, Peter's confidence in the car, was matched by his ability to focus on relating personally to the customer--and this made all the difference for me.

Being a first time new car, buyer walking into any dealership is overwhelming. I anticipated the worst of course, high pressure tactics, plenty of fine print and all the typical assumptions we can have of car dealerships and car salesmen. However, I walked in and Peter greeted me genuinely. He asked great questions and together we talked through my history of cars, what was on my "list" of consideration, and what my lifestyle needs were in regards to a vehicle. He was straight forward and made the whole experience lot easier than I anticipated. He's an easy going guy who took the whole process at my speed. His genuine nature, sense of humor, knowledge and willingness to find answers to the questions I had, makes me highly recommend you visit him for your car needs at City Side Subaru.

There is genuine pride in the Subaru product, honesty about any limitations, and absolutely no pretension. From sales rep to manager to finance manager, you are dealing with real human beings who want you to make the right choices for yourself. Even the price negotiation was a transparent and relatively comfortable exchange. The rapport is so comfortable that you can imagine wanting to stop in to say hi when you bring the car in for service.

I went to this dealership because I'm new to Subaru and Cityside got excellent reviews on here, and I'm happy to say I had the same experience. Mike Nelson helped both my friend and I purchase our vehicles today. He was a patient, calm, kind salesman and did not try to upsell. He explained things well and was organized, clear, and direct without being pushy, and did what he needed to do to help us finalize our deals. My friend and I both got extremely fair prices on the Outback, though less for my trade-in then I hoped. I haven't picked up my car yet and finished the paperwork yet, but so far I would highly recommend CitySide Subaru and Mike Nelson to anyone looking to buy a new car.

I had asked for a price quote on a new Subaru from a number of local dealers, and Cityside was the only one who did *not* give me a high-pressure sales pitch and call me over and over. They politely observed my stated preference for emails over phone calls, and when I did go in to buy, they were friendly but low-key, and John and Don were both fantastic and so easy to deal with. Cityside made me feel respected and they took all my questions seriously. I feel like I got a perfectly fair deal on the car, and even if maybe I could've gotten it for $100 less at another dealer, it was well worth it to work with Cityside.

Peter Rosenberg at Cityside dealership has been fantastic to deal with. First, he was wonderful in explaining the choices I had, between the 2011 and the 2012 Impreza. With the right information, I was able to make an informed decision and a very good one for me - the 2012 CVT. I ordered my car before the real color swatches were available. And I was surprised at the color that arrived. Peter was creative in thinking how we might alter the car to make it better for me - adding some beautiful side trim was the perfect solution.After driving the car for a day and a half, the navigation system ceased to work. When I came in, the service department took care of me quickly. And sent me home with a loaner so they could properly diagnose and fix the situation properly.Everyone at Cityside has been great to work with. But I doubt my experience would have been as great if it weren't for Peter and the effort, thought, and care he put in.

Mike Nelson was an excellent sales representative for Cityside Subaru. His knowledge and friendliness through the sales process was outstanding. I truly believe Mike worked hard to get me the best/fairest deal possible. I would recommend him to anyone considering buying a Subaru.

I hate buying new cars. I dislike dealing with the many sleazebag dealers I have met in my lifetime, and am generally cynical about car dealers in general.Cityside, and Peter Rosenberg specifically, were quite the opposite. It was a surprisingly good experience, and I actually walked out of there smiling. It was a little bit like going to the dentist and feeling no pain. They have a great product. We are a Subaru family, and when it was time to get rid of my Forester, I would not consider anything but another Forester. Peter and others at Cityside made it easy and actually enjoyable, and I would certainly recommend them to my friends and family in the future.

After a difficult interaction with another dealership Rob Gale went out of his way to ensure that my car buying experience was smooth and easy. He was kind, considerate and patient with my multiple questions and my skeptical attitude. My skepticism turned out to be unwarranted because he came through with everything that he had promised. A friend who accompanied me to purchase the car commented that this was the smoothest experience she had ever seen. I would highly recommend CitySide Subaru to anyone looking to buy a new car.

I was looking for a 2011 Subaru WRX and researched the vehicle and price quotes from Mass.,RI, and New Hampshire. Cityside had by far the best price quote. I went there after work and met Peter and a deal was struck within 20 minutes. That is including intial meeting and general conversation which was quite interesting. Peter made me feel relaxed and at ease. Thanks also go to Rob Krasow who I had intial dialogue via e-mail on the vehicles at Cityside. Car was ready to go 2 days later. I could have got it the next day but I had to work. The finance person, I think his name is Don was great also. I was in and out in 2 hours. An easy buying experience. I recommend this dealership for anyone looking for a Subaru. Thank you guys for my car.

Quite a bad experience. Do not recommend to anyone. There are better dealers in the area.Bad on the pricing, and very poor on the customer service--they told me to come in because they had a car waiting for me to test drive, and when I showed up, no one could point me the car, because, well, it wasn't there!It definitely felt like they were getting lazy after all the great DealerRater reviews on their website, which are strongly suspect!

The employee I worked with was very helpful and patient as my wife and I went through our decision making process. He also followed through all unfinished steps after I made my payment. He clearly can be trusted to keep his word. Of course, I haven't yet experienced follow up service on the car, nor have I had to deal with possible problems (warranty issues,etc) that may come up, so I can't comment on the future. But, if the employee's attitude is any indication, I expect my experiences with Cityside will be very positive. Regarding price. The car was listed at the low end of the Kelly Book rating. And it does seem to be in excellent shape. However, I am NOT any kind of "savy" car buyer, so whether or not the price was good/bad/neutral is beyond my ability to judge. Asking me to log-in/create-account, etc. to yet another site is most irritating. Otherwise this has been a positive experience.

This is the third Forester we have purchased from CitySide Subaru and Im sure it wont be the last. My wife and I just purchased a 2011 Forester with the help of John Melvin. I grudgingly traded in my 2007 manual transmission Forester for this new car... I sort of get attached to my cars, but it made sense for us to trade it in for an automatic transmission car, which would better accommodate the rest of the family. We liked the Impreza, but wanted the Forester to be able to cart stuff around, when needed.Once again, my experience with CitySide has been very positive. John was knowledgeable and patient with us, while we decided on the car and features that would best meet our needs. It took a while for us to figure it out. We were looking for a safe, reliable all-wheel drive car with Lumbar support (adjustable seat for the driver). We were also looking for excellent maintenance/service, which we have grown accustomed to, since our first purchase in 1999 we still have that Forester, BTW.Thanks to Dan the Sales Manager for answering a host of questions! I recommend CitySide with no reservations! And, I appreciate their follow-up support to make sure everything is working and that we are happy with our new car, which we are.

I just bought my third-in-a-row Subaru from this dealership.Years ago I used to commute 120-220 miles per day (from Cambridge MA to Nashua NH and back; often by way of Marlborough MA). I traded cars every year (buying the new model every October) and grew to really hate it. I then switched to working from home and using my car only for shopping and joy rides. My yearly mileage dropped from 40,000+ to less than 5,000.But I enjoy driving, and what little driving I do, I want to be an enjoyable experience. I got my first Subaru (a Legacy) based on Consumer Reports' recommendation that it's a "fun to drive" car. They were right. I also found out that Subaru's AWD lets me go at times and places when everybody else is stuck in the snow. And as little as I do drive (the car often stays unused for days at a time), I have never had my car fail to start when I turn the ignition key. Also, never a breakdown or need for serious repair.After a number of years, it would be time to switch. I replaced the Legacy with a Forester XT, and now the XT with an Impreza WRX. All three cars were purchased at CitySide Subaru, and serviced by CitySide's Service Dept.There isn't really much I want or need to say in describing my CitySide experience. I may not be a high-mileage driver, but I'm certainly not an idiot. Had my CitySide experience with my first Subaru not been agreeable, do you really think that I would have gone back for a second and then a third purchase? That's why I started this review by stating that I've just bought my third car from them. Remember, in years past I used to buy a new car every year, so I believe myself to have much more car-buying experience than most people. I have experienced all sorts of car dealerships, so I believe I know what I'm talking about.Take my word, this dealership is as good as they come. In all respects. I wholeheartedly recommend CitySide Subaru to you.And special thanks to Michael and Rob, for being the nice people that they are :)

Everyone in the building was a major help for us with our first new car purchase! MARK LIDANO was extremely helpful, patient (never that pushy salesman-type that we saw at other places) and instantly bonded with our family. He kept our 10 month old in his lap (well, on his belly) while we discussed our family's needs. Go sit down and talk with Mark. Look to your left, there's a photo hanging in his cubicle with our daughter in Mark's arms. Mark assisted me with the entire process and I'm confident he'll continue after the sale. How many salesman actually care after a sale?? Very pleased with our Outback and shopping/buying experience!

This review is more of an description of my experience with CitySide rather than a specific review of a car buying experience since we didn't make much progress. Buying a car is a pain. You can research vehicle costs, dealer costs, trade-in values, and at the end of the day you'll still negotiate with a dealer to find a fair price for a new car.Our approach to buying has always been to focus on the total cost of the car rather than monthly payments. To this end, using the internet sales department for vehicle prices has been very helpful. We've found that it can help us get 95% of the way through the car-buying experience with the final details being negotiated at the dealership. This has been effective at most places and this is how we purchased our Impreza Outback a few years back, albeit at a competing Subaru dealership due to price.We've been proponents of supporting local businesses and we live close to the dealership, so despite the fact that CitySide was a little more expensive during our last car buying experience, we chose to speak with them again for our new car. Everyone we've dealt with at the showroom and the service center has been helpful and pleasant.We were surprised by the response for a quote on a Forester. We were told they could offer us MSRP and if we were able to find a better deal we could bring it back to CitySide, make an offer, and with a 'secured deposit' they would review it with their sales manager. There was no additional input.To be fair, their stated position is that they and other dealers pay the same for the vehicles on the lot. That's something they would know, not I, but considering the varying quotes for the car from other dealers, I'm not sure it's especially relevant. It strikes me as an audacious position to expect to be given the last opportunity to provide a quote, with input from competitors, AND a secured deposit, by virtue of locale and not effort. If CitySide wanted to provide a quote for a vehicle and it was reasonable but there was a bit of a better deal at another dealership an hour away, it would make sense to give them an additional opportunity to re-quote. Having other dealerships go through the effort of pricing cars and then expecting CitySide to have a last opportunity to quote does not.I've heard great things about CitySide, and the ratings on this web-site seem, for the most part, to back that impression up, but I am disappointed in my experience. This is not necessarily a negative review but a description about the perplexing experience with their approach to buying a car. We are still shopping for our next car, it's a shame that it wasn't very productive with CitySide.

When we first walked in to Cityside Subaru, I felt that no one really wanted to help us with our car buying experience since we were looking at Used vehicles and not New vehicles. Fortunately, Mark was helpful to work with during the actual car buying experience. He was careful to go over the features of the car and we had a very nice, informative test drive. Cityside was able to work with me and my financing needs which were a bit tricky to say the least. There was one little hiccup upon picking up the car but when I was forced to come back a second time, they had filled my tank for the inconvenience. Now on to the negatives, if you buy a car from Cityside, prepare to be bombarded with demands to rate their dealership on this website. Within a week of buying my car, I had received a text message (which I found to be intrusive) and multiple phone calls. Mark kept calling me until I finally called back and said I was happy with the car. If I wasn't happy, they would have heard from me. Then a week after that, I received a "thank you" card with a flyer for this website clearly trying to coax me into writing a review. I'm a very busy person and I didn't have time to sit down and write a review. I didn't feel it was necessary but now I do, just so I can be left alone. Just this past week, I received an email from Mark saying "if I had time" could I write a review. Moments later I got a sales lead email from Cityside about pre-ordering a 2012 Imprezza. What gave the impression that I would need to buy another car? Hopefully this review will suffice and I can avoid further harrassment. I WAS considering taking my Subaru Forester to their Service department but I'm afraid that I'll be haunted by Cityside for the rest of my life and thus, I've decided I'll go elsewhere for my future service needs.

I was looking for a new car and had done some comparison shopping online. A couple of friends had said the all-wheel drive made a Subaru a good choice, especially when driving in snow in Massachusetts. When I came to Cityside, Peter Rosenberg showed me the cars that were available and we did a road test which involved merging uphill onto a major highway and driving along a curvy country road. It felt much more solid and held the road better than the Focus and the Civic and the Vibe which I had rented in the past. The whole transaction was very simple and now that I've driven it on an expressway during a torrential rainstorm, I like the car even better than I did when I first bought it.

I was not sure of a vehicle I wished to purchase and City Side was my first stop. My wife and I connected with Peter, he showed us a couple of models, we said we liked the Outback. He took us for a ride and then we drove the Outback ourselves. Peter went to great lenght to explain what the car had to offer. No pressure, no nonsense. We then visted a another Subaru dealer, a Toyota, Honda and Ford dealership, drove the models we were interested in. I had all the information I needed, called Peter back and got the deal done. That was on Saturday July 23rd. I had my new Outback on Tuesday, July 26th. Again, no pressure, no nonsense, just good information to help me make my choice.

I recently bought a 2011 WRX from these guys. I have to say the service was great. They all worked together and closed the deal really fast. I was working with Patrick Subaru and had a deal locked down but I was not thrilled with the customer service at all. They did not really seem like they cared if I bought the car from them or not. They actually said that if I didnt buy it someone someone else would. I was referred to Cityside Subaru by Long Subaru in Webster and they came through. Not only did they actually have the car in stock but they beat the deal I had with Patrick by a significant amount. I can not express enough how great my experience was with them. I will buy my next subaru from them(because once you go Subaru you never go back!). If you are in the market for a new Subaru and want a great deal and excellent customer service go to Cityside, its that simple.

I went to Cityside Subaru looking for a new car, and am a committed Subaru customer. I worked with Peter R. who was just a wonderful salesperson -- incredibly knowledgeable, patient, delightful company, and an all-around very interesting guy to talk to. The financing folks, Jade and Donald, were equally wonderful -- very helpful and reassuring. And a shout-out to Dan Remen who made my quick return visit the next day very easy and pleasant. I learned a lot about Subarus from Peter in this purchase, and ended up selecting a five-door Impreza. My old Subaru went to (very happy) friends, and everyone came away satisfied in Subaru World. Thanks for the great experience, Cityside Subaru!

I've come to believe that car dealers are so afraid of the aggresive salesman stereotype that they have swung the pendulum too far the other way toward providing almost no guidance. This was my Subaru buying experience with a couple of dealers until we visited City Side and worked with one of their reps, Peter Rosenberg. Peter did two things very well; 1) asked key questions (what have you driven, what was good and bad, what was on my wife's wish list and quickly sized us up as Forester customers when we thought we were Outback customers. And 2) he made the business case for a particular trim and option package by educating us on the full range and then narrowing it down, explaining why we should opt for one compromise over another. There were a couple of minor questions Peter didn't have answers for but wasn't afraid to say "I don't know, I'll find out". It's refreshing to work with a sales person who has humility yet has the self confidence to lead the process, rather than be led. This asking/listening skill might come naturally to someone like Peter but it should be part of every dealer's sales training. Other dealer reps passively let us lead them around without providing any guidance or bothering to find out where we were in the sales cycle, and then continually call and email after we leave. City Side might also benefit from more sales training on the "back office" pricing as we sensed that Peter was almost in forbidden territory on the subject. Don is the floor manager and was a bright, charismatic professional who was easy to work with and trustworthy. But knowing what you're going to be sold by the back office after you close on the car would have given this review an excellent rating instead of a very good rating. I recommend...but I recommend buyers know more about the back end pricing, not pricing couched in a tiny monthly payment over 6 years, but the full price, and by knowing that items such as the paint finish (which we bought) are able to be unbundled from the toxic stain-guard on the interior (which we didn't buy). The stereotype may have been cleansed from the showroom floor but the auto industry would do itself a favor with more transparency in other areas. Otherwise, well done Peter and City Side, you earned our future business.

I have owned subarus for over 20 years and had them serviced at Acton, Hyannis, Wakefield and Cityside. Cityside has, with question, the best service department of any Subaru Dealer in Greater Boston. Why?The service reps are smart, polite and professional. The listen to my problem descriptions and capture the info accurately onto the service request form. They explain service options (what's essential, what's optional,etc.). When unexpected problems are found the explain clearly and answer questions patiently.The work is always done right the first time. I have never had to bring my car back for sloppy or incomplete repairs.The dealership has comfortable spaces to work or relax in while my car is being worked on.Cityside has a very good ride system that takes me to Alewife Station if I need to leave the car for the day.Overall, I feel that I really get my money's worth bringing my cars here. Cityside has kept my '03 Outback driving like a new car.

As our lease was expiring, my wife and I were making a concerted effort to find an automobile to purchase. We visited a variety of dealerships before settling on the Subaru Outback. Not all dealerships are created equal and Cityside Subaru was not the first Subaru dealership we visited, it was however the last. Given the events in Japan, selection was becoming an issue around New England, however, we found what we were looking for at Cityside and were amicably assisted by Peter Rosenberg. The experience was as stress free as we could have hoped.

After a test drive at one dealership and researching a lot about pricing of a new Legacy and I knew the difference between MSRP, factory invoice, and dealer invoice. I went to Cityside with a # in mind and with a little room for negotiation. After sales associate took my information he went to "speak with the manager". After coming back he had with him a pricing sheet with MSRP price and Factory invoice price on it (no dealer invoice price to be seen). He said that he could get me my initial offer to which I then countered with if we can get close to my # that he could sell a car today (funny, but true). He went to speak to the manager again and came back to say that he couldn't even get his manger down to the factory invoice. I know that even at factory invoice price they are still making money...I'm not trying to steal a car as I know they are in business to make $$. I thanked him for his time and left.2-3 weeks later at another dealership I was able to get lower than the factory invoice and I was extremely pleased.

We thought the salesmen at Cityside Subaru were pretty decent to work with. They weren't too pushy - that is for car salesmen - and allowed my husband and I to come to our own conclusions on model and option packages. When it came to finding a car, they were honest about what would be available to us at other area dealerships that they have a relationship with. They also were honest about the trade in and didn't try to tell us we would get a huge amount of money for our older car before the bottom line pricing on our new car was finalized.

An absolutely excellent car buying experience.I purchased my vehicle sight unseen from out of state and the process worked as smoothly as possible. Cityside knew what paperwork I needed to secure registration, plates, and insurance prior to my making the journey to Belmont and those documents were exchanged via overnight shipping with Cityside providing pre-paid return shipping envelops. Knowing that I was taking a train to pick-up the vehicle, Cityside (Peter) knocked-off an additional $100 from the sale price without provocation. I was greeted at the train station and brought to the dealer. As a favor, I asked if they could have one of their service technicians install an electronic option I brought with me and this was granted without hesitation.We reviewed functionality of the vehicle, entered my home address into the navigation system and I was on my way home in my new car in two hours. Flawless. If you are geographically situated to purchase a Subaru from Cityside, I highly recommend it. I'm not compelled to describe the "purchase price" because it was uneventful - I did my research and the price I presented was honored - less the $100 for the train fare!Thank You Cityside!

John is apparently new to the sales force but learning quickly. He was very patient with me: he answered all my questions, was quick to get an answer if he did not know, and and accompanied me on several test drives. His low key manner is very different from mine -- which was fraught by having to buy a car by myself. I trusted him and would recommend him.

I'm writing this review of Michael Nelson and Cityside Subaru even though I didn't buy a car from them. I was looking for a specific pre-owned vehicle and when the car came up somewhere else in my price range I jumped on it. I wish I had bought it from Michael however. The customer service, attention that I received, and sales manner was straight forward, and honest. Michael listened to what I was looking for and really helped me out a lot looking at various cars and helping me narrow into a vehicle that would be best for me and my family. Although I bought a car from another dealership I wish I had bought it from Cityside Subaru because they customer service was excellent. Go and see MIchael now.

The dealership is clean and well-laid-out. The sales reps were friendly but not pushy. We felt free to browse. The negotiation for a price was honest and direct. All paper work is done on-site, making pick-up simple. The car is clean and all we desired.Our sales representative was kind, helpful, informative and honest. We had an excellent experience at CitySide and would return there in future.

John Melvin was wonderful to work with. He was informative, helpful and just an overall fabulous salesman. He made our car buying process easy and enjoyable. Our overall experience was a 10, between John, Don and the managers at City Side. We would recommend CitySide to any friends or family that are looking for a Subaru.

Actually enjoyed the process of buying a car at CitySide. Mark went to some trouble to get information for us and Don made the financial transtion seamless. We also met the manager and the head of the repairs dept...all were friendly and helpful. Our test drives were good, too. Mark was able to point out all the good points of the cars and that had a lot to do with our decision to go with Subaru. It also helped for the Legacy to be available for leasing.

The salesman (Peter) went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and valued as customers. We were able to take the vehicles out for lengthy test drives. Everyone at the dealership was friendly and warm, and the complimentary coffee was great! Peter went to great lengths to explain the strengths and shortcomings of each vehicle, and when we had chosen a model, told us in great detail about how to use all of the vehicles features. I can without hesitation recommend Cityside Subaru, and in particular recommend Peter as a great person to do business with.

Overall I had a great experience. John worked with my budget and helped me find a car that I could afford. The only negative would be the extra wait time. On two occasions I had an appointment but I had to wait and extra 15-20 mins. The service department is fantastic as well. I needed something fixed and they were able to get me in the same day I called.

I ended up at Cityside because another dealer was not able to find the car I wanted. Cityside said they could find the car and did so in a reasonable amount of time. They also matched the price the other dealer had given me which I was happy with. The whole experience was positive from the first meeting to picking up the car this morning. Unfortunately for the buying public the purchase of a car has become an unhappy challenge of pushy sales people and pressure from sales managers. This was at no time the case for me. I'm 58 years old and have bought a few vehicles over the years. This was a pleasant experience from start to finish. I will send my friends and family.

When I decided that a 2011 Subaru Impreza was the right car for me, I corresponded online with a LOT of dealerships in and around the Boston area. I visited and test drove at several dealerships also. I wish I had saved myself the time, energy, and frustration and had just gone to CitySide first! The internet sales manager provided me with a quote via email and our online correspondence was always professional, courteous, and helpful. When I finally visited CitySide, it felt like a completely different experience right away. I worked with Mark Lidano who treated me more like a family friend than a customer. He listened to exactly what I was looking for, took the time to explain each step of the process, and answered all my questions carefully, honestly, and thoroughly. The negotiation process went smoothly and I felt respected and valued throughout my time there. My car was ready exactly when I wanted to pick it up - and I am loving it! Mark has gone above and beyond since the purchase, checking in with me weekly via phone and email to make sure things are going well and to answer any follow up questions. He even sent a handwritten thank you note after the purchase - these little touches go a long way! I will continue to take advantage of all the services they offer to maintain my new Impreza also - so they made me a customer for life. I would recommend CitySide to anyone who wants a new Subaru at a great price without the headache or frustration traditionally associated with car shopping. Thank you, Mark!

I was looking to purchase a Subaru WRX STI and have been to 3 dealers and Cityside Subaru stood out against the rest. I was attended by Peter Rosenberg an excellent guy very professional and knows what he is talking about. I was treated as a real customer offered to test drive an STI imagine that, test driving an STI for people who read forums some dealers dont do that. At this point in time we were not talking about any numbers about the car unlike other dealers if you know what im talking about. They want you to be satisfied with the car that you are purchasing. Really no pressure selling here and no drama here either in buying a car very easy people to deal with. To cut the long story short i got the car that i want color/trim and price ( they have a ton of STI in stock i was literally drooling when i saw them ), they gave me the best price for my trade, the best best rate for financing and the best part i got the car the same day. Was in heaven driving my new baby home. I was there for a total of 5 hours only. To sum up my experience with them, 2 words Delighted Customer. Thank you guys.

We did a ton of research and identified the exact car(s) we wanted, found out who had them and what a good price was. We wanted to put in a fair offer and take the car away, period. Mark L at CitySide made that happen. Our offer was accepted over the phone, they took our deposit and the car was ready a few days later (we love it). It was efficient, relatively painless and Mark L got us in and out smoothly and on short notice. We would (and will) recommend this dealer and Mark to others, and (in another 12 years) go back again ourselves.

Working with Cityside Subaru was an easy and painless process. Looking for a 2011 Subaru Outback in Graphite Grey Metallic--Premium 2.5i + All Weather Package, we contacted numerous dealerships in the greater Boston area. Cityside matched the lowest price we found (other area dealerships did not), a deal was struck, and days later we went to pick up our new car. Mark and Don were great to work with--honest, direct, and very friendly. We felt confident through the whole buying process. I look forward to a long life with this car and a continued relationship with Cityside Subaru. For scheduled service visits or for any other maintenance issues, I know we and our car will be in good hands with Cityside for the long haul. Thanks Cityside!

We have had our 2005 Impreza serviced at Cityside for some time & were always impressed with the service. When the time came to purchase again, they were a logical choice. During my initial visit I advised Mark that my spouse & I were "sold" on Subaru's, but could not decide between the Forester and the Outback. I was able to test drive both models without any hassle. Mark did a great job of objectively educating me about the virtues of both. Some time passed and my wife eventually also test drove both models. Mark continued the education process and patiently answered all our questions. We decided on a Forester and the specific equipment/options and color we wanted at which point Mark gave us an MSRP for the vehicle and asked us to respond in a day or 2 with our price. We came back with an aggressive but fair price which was accepted. Two days later we drove off the lot as very happy and satisfied owners. All the Cityside personnel were exceptionally friendly and professional and treated us as valued customers.

I was in the market for a new Subaru and started my search at Clay Subaru because they are closer to my house. What a bad idea that was. Poor service and terrible sales person by the name of Joe Rizzo. He treated me like I was not going to buy a vehicle. They answered my questions with one word dead end answers. So I took my buisness to City Side Subaru. What a diffrence in service. I was greated with respect as soon as I walked through the door. John Melvin was my sales person. He made me feel like there was no presure to buy. He gave me the keys to test drive the vehicle that I wanted with no strings attached. He was even able to negotiate the price to get my monthly payments to where I needed them to be. The great service continued even after the sale. John called me two weeks later to make sure the vehicle was still treating me well. He even hand wrote me a thank you card that he sent in the mail to me. I will go back to City Side Subaru in the future to buy another Subaru.

I chose Cityside Subaru because they are customers of my employer and were featured in our most recent annual report. I was a bit nervous because this was the first time I had ever bought a car "on my own". Dan Remen and Rob Krazow did a fantastic job helping me decide what to buy (and what I really needed). The price we negotiated was more than fair. I was scheduled to pick up my car at 5:30 on a Tuesday afternoon. It happened to be the same day as a blizzard hit our area. They made it possible for me to pick up the car four hours earlier.A rating of "5" doesn't seem adequate. I will definitely recommend Cityside Subaru to all my friends and family members.

Our purchasing experience for a new Subaru Outback was surprisingly easy and stress free. Our salesman, John Melvin answered all our product questions, provided a test drive and handled the price negotiations in a professional manner. Our choice of color and model features required locating a car from another Subaru dealer's stock which was handled smoothly and quickly by the sales manager, Rob Krasow. All details and prep work for the sale and delivery of the new car were completed on our time schedule. The sales team was friendly and helpful during every step of the process. A few days after taking delivery we received an after-the-sale followup phone call from John to confirm our customer satisfaction. The written note of thanks sent by John was also appreciated.

GO TO CITYSIDE if you need a Subaru!

I sent an email to Cityside Subaru in Belmont, MA asking to test drive a 2011 Subaru Outback. I received an email back from Glen Dalton asking me when I would like to come in. We made a Saturday date. I researched this dealership (it had top marks) and also pricing, options, and color preferences for my new car. Glen greeted me as soon as I got on the lot and told me that he was there to answer all my questions. This was an unusual visit to a dealership for me. We sat down as frineds and talked about the Subaru. I never had the feeling that he was forcing me into anything. He was kind, polite and extremely accommodating. He wanted to make my experience a happy one...and he sure did!!! I purchased my dream car and couldn't be happier about following all of the advice that Glen offered to me. In addition, the financial services agent, Don Ratcliffe was extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond my expectations. The folks at Cityside Subaru are the people you want to buy your first or next Subaru from. You won't be sorry.

Cityside Subaru did an exceptional job with my most recent car purchase. I first bought a Forester there (before it moved to Belmont - when it was still in Arlington) back in 1999. I was considering a new purchase and visited Cityside last Friday (after 12 years and 100K+ miles of my Forester L which was still running well). I was met with a very helpful, friendly, and not pushy sales person. I took a new Forester for a ride - loved it. Brought my family back. They loved it too. Cityside staff took great care of me - and respected my offer. And today I picked up my new car. All in less than a week. Excellent. This is my second purchase from CitySide and I don't think I will ever go anywhere else (for purchase or service).

I was in the market for a used Subaru wagon for my daughter. I responded to an on-line listing from CitySide Subaru, which included a 2006 Impreza with 36,000 miles for a fair price, lower than market value. When I came to look at the car and test-drive it, the salesman gave me the key immediately and invited me to take my time and enjoy my drive. I took it to my mechanic who checked it out and said that it was in excellent condition. My daughter came, drove the car, and liked it. We closed the deal in a straightforward way. It was a pleasant experience, in contrast with some of my previous used-car high-pressure encounters.

Nick, my salesman, was very friendly and helpful. I was on the lot for about 10 minutes before he approached. I think this is good. Felt like I was allowed to browse without anyone looking over my shoulder. Spoke with a couple of other sales people as well. Very friendly and helpful. Think Nick is new and still learning the inventory. Knew enough to impress me about the Forester and find the deal I wanted. The used Forester I was most interested in had a dead battery and took a while to prepare for test ride. I chalked it up to the freezing weather and the fact that it had just been sitting for a while. Test ride was great! Went on my own and allowed to take as long as I wanted. Upon agreeing to buy a new battery was installed quickly as well as wiper blades. Really couldn't have been easier. Nice waiting room too. Plenty of GOOD coffee! I'd do business with them again!

The relaxed casualness of the staff made the entire interaction enjoyable. This is my sixth new car purchase over the past 25 years (third Subaru purchase)and the only one I can honestly say that was enjoyable. No pressure, no hidden fees, no surprises, no car saleperson stereotypes. When it comes time to buy another Subaru, Cityside will be my first and probably only stop.

After a the get to know each other session we went on a test drive of both a Subaru Outback and Forrester. The Mark the sales person took me on the most detail oriented test drive. We drove the highway , the city streets and also a very steep hilly road so that I could really access which vehicle Outback or Foresster would fit my needs. I settle on the Outback. There was no dispute on pricing for the vehicle based on the BJS Auto buying website.

I was pointed to CitySide by Consumer Reports Pricing Service when I was looking to replace my 2001 Forester (bought new in 2000) with another Subaru. Having done my homework, I expected a less than ideal experience with a city dealer. However, I can honestly say that every step in the process of dealing with Mike and Don was easy, pleasant and NO PRESSURE. They were committed to the price reported through Consumer Reports's pricing service and, even when doing their jobs by pitching everything from simonizing to service plans, they were never exerting pressure, consistently respectful of our right to say no (and they UNDERSTOOD no when they heard it), and always helpful. This makes my second new car purchase in 10 years, both times I bought a new Forester, and it also makes for my second EASY, PLEASANT AND EXCELLENT car buying experience. Because of the quality of the service, for the first time we are actually going to use a dealership for all our maintenance and servicing. Thanks to all at CitySide and definitely go there if you're in the market for a Subaru.

Extremely friendly people who are more interested in getting you the right car to suit your needs than making a few extra bucks selling you upgrades that you don't need. The dealer listened carefully to what I was looking for and was able to make some very good recommendations (on what I both did and didn't need in my car).Customer service was excellent and everyone I came into contact with was extremely accommodating. Any queries by phone or email were always replied to very quickly and once I had made a decision on which car to buy, all the necessary paperwork and due process was handled with minimum fuss and in minimum time.I would highly recommend these guys!

John found a way to get the model we were looking for even though it was not available in the dealer inventory during our first visit. He provided very good advice given that the car we were purchasing was for the teenagers. He also was able to discuss models of other manufacturers

Every person I dealt with at the dealership was polite, informative and helpful. Questions were answered promptly and correctly. They went out of their way to find a local car that had the accessories I wanted and not ones I did not want. all information was directed at me, the car purchaser, and not at my husband.

Got in touch with them using Consumer Reports new car price service (live in Metro West). Not only did they give me a grate price (about $500 below true dealer cost), but they were able to locate exactly the vehicle / color I wanted when others couldn't get it. I would highly recommend them.

Took my 2003 Forester here for a Timing Belt replacement because they had a special on their website advertising this service for $250. I should have known there would be trouble right away when I called on the phone and they claimed they had no knowledge of this special. I printed out the coupon and brought it in with the car and pointed them to their own website. Anyway they said fine and I left the car for the timing belt replacement. The next day I get the call from a service associate saying that when they took my timing belt off they found that the belt tensioner was leaking, and if I wanted it put back together the whole job would be $600 now. He made it clear that if I chose not to do that the only option was for them to push the car out into the lot and I could tow it out of there myself. (Basically extortion). Now, I know $250 sounds low for a timing belt replacement, and I should have expected that a dealer would go on a fishing expedition (looking for more things to charge for) once they had the vehicle, but in the Subaru a timing belt replacement IS relatively simple due to it's accessibility at the front of the engine. I asked the associate for a breakdown of costs and he gave me a list of parts and additional labor for the work. This now included about $140 for the tensioner, an extra $150 for labor fot that, and now $60 supposedly for bolts on the belt cover that they found were rusty and the cover gasket. So first off, if they quoted me $250 for replacing the timing belt, they knew they would have to replace the bolts and gasket since any car coming in for this service has at least around 100k miles, and this should have been part of the total cost. Second, the actual retail cost of the stainless steel bolts at several other locations was less than a dollar a piece and the gasket less than $10 so that whole cost to them was probably around $10. (They wanted about $60 more from me).Second, although it was probably perfectly reasonable to replace the tensioner when doing the belt, they were being completely dishonest about this too. Even if I grant them the exessive price of the tensioner they were charging, there should be zero extra labor on this. The tensioner has to be removed and replaced as part of the normal process of replacing the timing belt. Since I do most of my own maintenance on the vehicle, I have a full set of shop manuals (the originals published by subaru) and they clearly state this. I told the guy on the phone to hold the work and I would come in and speak to the service manager. I came in the next day and spoke with some guy named Joe, I think, who was the service manager. When I questioned him about the sudden high cost of the job, he acted like they had never tried to force anything on me it was all optional and they would finish up the work for the original $250 minus replacing the tensioner. When I asked about the extra labor for the tensioner replacement, he tried to tell me it was extra work. Now I know this is false, and even if some mechanic would try to replace the belt somehow without removing it, the tensioner can easily be removed with one bolt anyway. As expected, when challenged with this fact, Joe became hostile and rude, and just irately said he wasn't going to argue with me. After, I DID argue with him for a bit more they agreed to finish the job including the tensioner now for $500 which means I paid about $250 more for a tensioner that I could easily buy for about $100. (oh well I should have know I wouldn't get out of a dealer for the same price they quoted). The interesting thing was that, on the final invoice, the charge for the the bolts and gasket was now about $15 and the bolts were listed at 81 cents a piece. I guess someone forgot to hide that fact. The whole process reeked of dishonesty and was to me clearly a bait and switch operation. They advertise the work at one price, then once the have your vehicle apart, they try to extort you to pay much more. When faced with someone who actually knows something about the vehicle, they just become rude and hostile. Extremely unprofessional operation and I would never do business with them again.

We had a very great experience at Cityside Subaru, and recommend them very highly. We are first time car buyers, and Cityside was the first dealership we walked into. Michael was incredibly helpful, friendly and patient---not pushy at all, which was completely opposite of what we were expecting. (At all of the other dealerships we visited, we felt like we were being sold to, which is not a great feeling.)We visited Michael several times, the first time to test-drive the Forester, the second time to test-drive the Outback, and a third time to re-test-drive the Outback before making a final decision. Michael was really great and friendly each time, and we never felt like he was trying to rush us with anything, or try any type of high-pressure tactic. He was very knowledgeable and also answered all of our questions regarding the cars thoughtfully, and we never felt like he was fast-talking through any issues we brought up.The only downside we experienced at Cityside was that they were unable to match the quote another dealer had provided. Although we would have loved to give our business to Michael and Cityside, we were unable to pass up the lower price at the other dealership.All in all, we had a very good experience with Michael and Cityside, and definitely recommend them.

CORRECTION: I NEED TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT!!On 12/15/10 I submitted a negative report because I hadn't received an answer regarding a question I'd submitted to City Side's Service group. After having a discussion with my Sales Rep I was informed my perceived lack of response from Joe was completely out of Joe's character.As a result Joe and I met and reviewed the chain of events. The information Joe presented clearly indicates that he did respond in a very timely manner.It appears that my IT group purged Joe's responses from our system as SPAM, which erroneously lead to my original miss-perception.The level of Joe's genuine caring and commitment to his customers is unparalleled by any of my prior auto service experiences, even those by my Acura Dealer, who I thought was the best.To say the least Joe Cisek of City Side Subaru, approaches a customer as if they were his own customer and not City Side's, and he's gained a new avid supporter! I've since asked Dealer Rater about possibly retracting my original rating response.Howie

Shopping at CitySide was a remarkably pleasant experience. We came in undecided on make or model, new or used. 'Consultant' Peter Rosenberg painlessly presented all options and quickly narrowed our choices to at least a Subaru from CitySide. With no strong recommendations but plenty of helpful advice and lively conversion we settled on a new Impreza wagon/hatchback. There seemed to be no reason to haggle over price as all options whether add-ons or financing were up front and clearly presented, again with no pressure to add on bells and whistles for additional cost.Winter immediately showed up after our purchase, and the car is perfect, particularly as we come to an understanding with the bluetooth lady who runs the phone system.

They have a very laid back approach but at the end of the day they do want to sell you a car. They will not push using stereotypical salesman approaches but they will subtly try and pressure you - this is their job though. I did not love the way they negotiated the price but I used the Wakefield dealership to negotiate the price I wanted. I did not care for the management - they were distant and a little sleazy like but the salesman I worked with was an absolute top notch guy. My overall experience was very positive - I went in with a closed mind because I do not enjoy dealing with salesmen, but I came out happy with a brand new car.

Merry Christmas Mark & Don... Thank you again for all your hard work. My wife looked out the window at 7:00 am, saw a covered car with a big bow on it, and ran outside (almost knocking me over as she ran past me!). She could not figure out what kind of car it was, or how it got in the back yard. She uncovered the car, and almost died of happiness. She asked how it got there, since I was with her all night and morning. I told her Santa delivered it from the dealership...She did not car how it got there, just that it was there! I told her how you were all in on it, and she felt very bad for pestering you. She is very happy, and she has not even driven it yet (she has sat in it 100 times in the past 4 hours). You both made our Christmas very happy... Thanks, Mike Michael R. Barton President Machine Device Corporation28 Rumford AvenueWaltham, MA 02453

My experience at CitySide Subaru to buy my new Legacy was very positive. My salesman, Peter Rosenberg, was extremely helpful, pleasant, friendly and very knowledgeable. He was able to get in the specific car that I wanted without delay. He went over everything about the car in detail which was very helpful. It was a real pleasure to work with him. I love my new Subaru, it has a great ride, is very comfortable, and looks great! I would very much recommend this dealer, as I have been going there for years and am very happy with the people and the service.

Peter Rosenberg was the salesman we dealt with primarily. He was friendly, likable, low-pressure, helpful, and well-informed. My wife and I trusted him instinctively, a pleasant surprise when setting out to buy a used car. We had some contact with three of his colleagues, and they, too, were pleasures to do business with. We bought a 2008 Subaru Outback, almost three years old but with low mileage. It has so far performed beautifully. We have not yet had the car serviced, but are inclined to take it to this dealership. We would recommend the dealership wholeheartedly.

Peter helped me purchase my first new vehicle; and it was all done over the phone. He was very professional and answered all the questions I have about the Impreza. We negotiated on a great price for a vehicle with all the options I wanted. The car was ordered and was suppose to arrive 2 months later. About 2 weeks later the car was ready. I stepped into the dealership and met Peter face to face for the first time when I went to finalize the financials and to pick up the vehicle. Peter made sure I understand my first Subaru and get all my questions answered. Peter is an excellent sale consultant. He is willing to go the extra mile and over deliver in my case.Thank you Peter.Kevin LPS The new Subaru owner seminar was great!

Mike was very easy to deal with. I already knew what car I wanted when I walked in, and he immediately sat down and started trying to find one for me, as they were hard to find in stock at any dealer. He found one in another state and we started working out a "deal." For my trade, we looked at KBB and Edmunds online together at his desk to gauge the value, and his trade offer came in consistent with those sources. When I told him that price he offered on the new car was too high for my wallet, he suggested a factory order that would have saved my about $1000. I told him I had to think about it and he kindly let me go home, with no high-pressure tactics, no sales manager, just "have a nice night." I emailed him the next morning and he agreed to take another $500 off the new car and we had a deal. This deal, I should note, was $2000 less than the deal I was offered at another dealer two days prior on the exact same car (literally, the same VIN from the same out-of-state dealer). I asked Mike to tell the finance person not to pressure me with all those post-sale extras, which he did. My request was honored, though he politely suggested that the one this I should consider is an extended warranty (I put on about 25k miles per year) which I eventually opted for.

I went to buy a car and was regretting having to do it from some of the horrow stories I have heard and seen. However buying the car from Rob, Mike and Alan was a very pleasant experience. They were all very professional, polite and none of them ever tried to push anything on me. When I declined options we all just moved onto the next business item at hand. No questions asked. Rob took special care to make I got the car I was looking for at the right price. Alan informed me of all the extras that were availble to me. Mike made sure that when I left the dealership that I understood how the car worked and could call or some back at anytime if there was something I did not understand. All in all a great place to buy a car.

So I was doing some research on purchasing a new subaru. I like the Impreza WRX and STI but I couldn't make up my mind on which was the best for me. I scheduled a test drive at cityside subaru and decided to drive the WRX. I figured if I drove the WRX and it satisfied my driving needs I would buy the WRX when I'm ready to buy. I'm a junior in college and I don't plan on buying a new car for at least another year or so but Mark, my salesman, still treated me very well even after learning that I wouldn't be buying for quite some time. Mark was extremely hospitable throughout my entire visit, he even picked me up and dropped me off at te train station (Alewife on the red line). Mark answered all of my questions regarding the car buying process and was even able to help me with my driving technique as I am still pretty new to manual transmission cars. Every aspect of my experience today with the cityside sales department was awesome. If I had the money to buy a new subaru tomorrow I would shop at cityside without a doubt. The selection on the lot was good and the customer service from sales was even better.

Mike Nelson was an absolute pleasure to work with. The Sales Manager, Dan, was also very good. I had to pre-order my vehicle (an STI) and Mike and Dan answered all of my questions and negotiated the price (which in my opinion was very competitive)with me in advance. All I had to do was pick up the car when it arrived. I have bought Subarus at other dealerships and negotiations were very unsettling and my sense of trust was quite low. It was the exact opposite at Cityside. I'm sure they were happy to sell a car, but they also seemed genuine in their interest to get me the exact car that I wanted. They never pressured me to buy something off the lot to get a quick sale.Thanks Mike and Dan!

A few minor concerns while purchasing, but the major issue was that when my brand new Subaru Forester was delivered, with 7 miles on the odometer, it immediately (as I left the lot) had a severe grinding when shifting into or out of 3rd gear, which required warranty replacement of the transmission. The dealership was good about the warranty repair and even expedited it, but still, did no one test drive the vehicle? I would expect at minimum someone would try the lights, turn signals and brakes, and run through all 5 gears. Also very disappointing that my new Subaru would have such a dramatic manufacturer's defect, and we are afraid we might have a lemon in some other area also.

Today I posted to my facebook page, "Can you fall in love with a car dealership?" THAT's how good my experience with Cityside Subaru was. I went to Cityside vacillating between a 2011 Outback and another vehicle. And I continued to vacillate over the course of two months and multiple (as in, many many) test drives. My salesperson, Don Ratcliffe, was always in good humour, never put on pressure and supported my purchasing decision in a low-key, "let me know what I can do to help and when" fashion throughout the process.When I finally decided on the Outback, Don made the negotiation process pleasant (really)and easy. He got me the car I wanted, with the options I wanted (and then some), at the price I wanted. Awesome. I felt totally supported, and more importantly, respected, throughout the process. And when I picked up the car, Don continued to demonstrate unparalleled professionalism and enthusiasm for my purchase. Alan Lappas, Cityside's business manager, earned my utmost appreciation for going to bat for me when a credit score snafu almost nixed the deal and gained my respect for keeping all things finance-related straightforward and stress-free.Truthfully, I am grateful that a friend sent me to Cityside - I know that I am driving a beautiful new Outback due in no small part to the dealership managed the deal from start to finish. Share the love, indeed!

Mike couldn't have been easier to work with. It was a very pleasurable, low pressure process and he really took the time to explain everything that we needed to know about the car and what our options were, down to every button on the radio. We also went to the Manachester, NH location and delt with a somewhat agressive and frustrating salesman who tried to guilt us into buying a car for "driving all this way and wasting his time". Cityside couldn't have been a better experience and we are very happy with our car and the whole experience. I definitely recommend CitySide and Mike especially.

I bought my new Subaru Legacy there last month. After having haggled with other dealerships over price and features, I decided to call CitySide just to see what the experience would be like. It was unbelievable. I spoke to a salesperson named Mark, told him what I wanted and what I was looking to spend, we walked through Edmunds for comparison prices, came to an agreement, and I put down a deposit. I bought the car that afternoon. I was undecided between two colors, so Mark wrote up invoices for each, so when I decided, I didn't have to go through the paperwork again.When I went to pick up the car, Alex walked me through the handbook. it took about 20 minutes and was well worth the time. I felt like I knew my car before leaving the lot. I have not gone back for servicing, so have no comment on that aspect, but I would certainly recommend CitySide for purchase. My experience was completely pain free.

We gave Cityside Subaru a great rating because of our experience with Peter Rosenberg in Sales. We had already done a fair amount of research on the Legacy, and Peter's professionalism and knowledgeable comments and observations on the test drive confirmed our good opinion of the car. We especially found his thoughtful design of the test drive to demonstrate the unique features of the Legacy very helpful. We did not really get far enough into price negotiation to comment on the price. The fact that we chose to buy a different car has nothing to do with any negative experience with Peter or the dealership. I would highly recommend both.

After years of driving a Ford product, I decided to look at a used Subaru after the good experience my son had in dealing with salesman Mark last year in his purchase of a new Subaru. It was with great reluctance I decided to trade in my 1999 Ford Taurus...indeed I was looking at a 2009 Ford Taurus at another dealership as well as a 2009 Legacy sedan here at Cityside.Mark's kind and considerate assistance helped me make my decision and I drove away with my (new to me) Subaru on Saturday 11/13.I had done initial research on the internet, but had never driven a Subaru before.Mark accompanied me on a test drive that helped show off the driving features of the Subaru. Especially helpful was the drive on the highway that showed changing from a 6 cylinder to a 4 cylinder engine was not going to be a problem for me. Even a trip around a parking lot helped showcase the excellent turning radius and handling of the car.During the negotiating process, Mark helped me come to a price I could live with.I would recommend Mark to anyone interested in buying a car and look forward to my new experience driving a Subaru... The dealership is friendly, and has a great supply of Keurig coffee!!

I went in knowing nothing at all about Subarus and Peter did a great job going through all the different models, figuring out very quickly which was the right one for me. Then he still patiently took me to test drive all the various models just to allow me to satisfy myself about which one I liked. I was very impressed by all the cars and also by how good a job Peter did. I can now tell you all about every kind of car Subaru makes, their various advantages, what all wheel drive is, etc. He also didn't pressure me to getting a more expensive car and didn't pressure me in general at all. He also understood what my interests are and that I don't want a car of this and that type but that I do want a car able to do this and that. I would highly recommend that anyone go and speak to him and that he will assuredly do a great job. Also he is in general a very positive person with a very positive attitude. I can see why this dealership must have gotten the ratings they say they did.

I had a great experience, particularly when I picked up the car(2011 2.5x) I signed what I needed to sign without any hassle for any additional services on the car.A thanks to Mike Z. Then Peter and Don were wonderful with both going through the warranty/owner books, as well as the inside/outside of the car(a much better experience this time than the one I had at a different subaru dealership in 2001) The price was fair but as a buyer Id always want a cheaper price! But Cityside provided the best price as compared to other dealers I looked into, I was also impressed with the inventory; much larger than other area dealerships. Rob in the internet sales department helped me get the best price possible for the specific Forester I wanted. Alexy the floor salesperson helped me get the car sooner than was expected( a good 4 weeks earlier, which was a tremendous help because I had already been without a car for 3 weeks. I would recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a Subaru.

Second time buyer at Cityside. Purchased a Forester there 6 years ago, and did not recall having felt like I was molested, so when it came time to trade it in and buy new, I went back to them for the 2010 Forester. I dealt with Peter, who comes across as pretty laid back, but he knows what business he's in -- a combination zen master and wheeler dealer. He's pleasant to deal with, and has an honest air about him. Generally a no hassle place; leisurely test drives, first with the salesman, then solo for as long as you want. If you want to negotiate, they will accommodate -- no heavy-handed or sleazy tactics like I've experienced elsewhere, but they're not giving the cars away either; just a plain "no we can't do that price" or, ultimately, "yes we can do that." Closing the deal was pleasant, even a bit comical -- I had to remind the business manager that he forgot to ask for my check for the balance due after trade-in. But that's a measure of the kind of place it is -- not an overbearing, hard-sell kind of dealership. They know they are selling a reliable, mid-priced line of cars to largely middle class customers, and the place has a very even keel, moderate feel about it. I ended up with the car I wanted, at a price I think is fair, and with reasonable value for my trade in. Could I have done better on price elsewhere ? Maybe, but probably not much, and it would almost certainly have involved longer and more painful negotiation. In the end I felt good about the overall customer experience at Cityside -- which is saying something for a car dealership.

My whole experience with Cityside was terrific from start to finish. Purchasing a new vehicle is one of my least favorite activities. Rob and Mark made it completely painless; in fact, even enjoyable! I am a very informed, no-nonsense buyer and was thrilled with Rob's realization of this. As a woman purchasing a car, there is nothing worse than condescension from a sales person. I was treated with respect and taken seriously - this was a win/win for both sides. Excellent experience. I will recommend Cityside to anyone in the market for a new vehicle.

I purchased the 2010 Outback with Robert and recieved the best customer service in my car buying experience. My first purchase of a vehicle outside the big 3 US makers and could not be more pleased with the vehicle and the dealership. I have reurned to serive the vehicle 3 times now and there are other dealers closer I could go to but, they don't have this excelent rating, I will go the extra miles for great service.

The staff at Cityside were extremely professional and courteous. I worked with Peter Rosenberg who was a huge help in finding the right car for my needs, and in a way that did not make me feel pressured into making a quick decision. He made the car buying experience actually fun!

After extensive research, including an incredibly horrible experience dealing with the MetroWest Subaru dealership in Natick, I was referred to Peter at Cityside by a coworker who had leased a car from him the previous year. Peter was straight and to the point. We told him we had done our research, knew what we wanted to pay, and didn't want to go through an extensive haggling process. We were skeptical when Peter and the dealership were looking for money down before we had even seen the car, but Peter was good about easing our fears, and because of the trusted referral we were able to come to a mutually acceptable agreement, quite close to what we initially wanted to pay and close to what we were willing to accept on a trade-in.

Excellent service, from initial introductory telephone call, through first and second visits, through sales. Dealership reviewed car's operation with us twice prior to final purchase. Would highly recommend Cityside Subaru to others interested in purchasing a new or used Subaru.

Just picked up my new Legacy at Cityside Subaru. First contact was with Rob Krasow, internet customer service, who promptly responded to each of my emails. Rob was friendly, courteous, and very helpful. After our internet communication it appeared that we were close on price. We set up a meeting at the dealership. THERE WERE NO SURPRISES. Rob introduced me to Mark Lidano in sales. Mark was as knowledgeable, friendly and courteous as Rob. All that had been communicated on line was quickly agreed to, and I placed the order. The car I wanted was not in stock so I was prepared to wait several weeks for delivery. Less than 3 weeks later I received a call that indicated a duplicate of the car I ordered was included in a shipment to Cityside, and I could have it. Arriving at the dealership I was introduced to Alan Lappas, business manager, who could be described in the same way as Rob and Mark. Alan covered many things in a clear and understandable way, and we were able to wrap up the final business part of the transaction. Picked up the car the next day. This was a painless transaction. No high pressure bobbing and weaving. Cityside is definitely user friendly. They get a strong recommendation from me.

I initially got an excellent quote from a distant dealer and then Cityside Subaru (which is in my neighborhood) matched the quote. They also used the Edmund's online value for my trade-in. No negotiation hassle. Everybody was super nice and made my car-buying experience go smoothly from beginning to end.

Got great service from this dealership. I was looking for a 2011 STi (a pretty hard to come by car this early in the model year). I got a great price, a fair price on my trade in, and they went the extra mile to chase down a car and do a dealer swap to get me into my vehicle a few weeks early. The kept me well informed throughout the buying process. There was zero pressure both during the sales process and the post sales process (where the sales manager tries to sell you all sorts of add-ons). He made the offer, gave me his best price and I was free to take or leave it. It was definitely one of the easiest auto purchases I've ever done. Assuming I'm in the market for another Subaru I'd certainly give Cityside the first shot at my purchase.

Both Mark and Alan were great to work with. We really enjoyed the test drive that we went on with Mark. He made us do some sharp turns that let us really get a feel for the all wheel drive. Both Mark and Alan made it very easy for us as it is our first car purchase. We are very happy with our car and it runs smoothly.

If you're reading this here, it's likely that you're an educated internet consumer. You know which car that you want, how much you should pay for it, and where you stand in terms of credit. It's very unlikely that some sleazy car salesman will be able to rip you off. But they can still waste a lot of your time trying.During my search for a new Subaru Impreza, I spoke to a number of dealers. None of them flat-out lied to me, but a I did hear a remarkable number of evasive half-truths regarding inventory, pricing, financing, and promotions. It was kind of a disgusting experience.In contrast, my experience with at CitySide Subaru was refreshingly straightforward. They seem to be one of the few Subaru dealers in the area that respects the knowledge of the modern car buyer. Maybe it's because they're sandwiched between the BlackBerry-carrying professionals of the Route 128 corridor and the iPhone-carrying academics of Cambridge/Somerville. Or maybe it's because their customer care manager (Rob Krasow) has an iPad on his desk and thus knows that anyone can confirm their own FICO score while sitting on a toilet. You'd think that everyone would understand this by now, but sadly it's just not the case.In summary: thanks to the internet, you're probably capable of getting a good deal anywhere (or at least knowing when to walk out). But if you want that deal with a minimum of frustration, I encourage you to check out CitySide.Side note: their customer waiting area is a bit cramped and I couldn't get on their wireless internet. Annoying, but not enough to ding them any points.

We had already made the decision to get a Forester before we arrived at Cityside, after rejecting one dealership as unfriendly and sleazy-feeling. At Cityside, we were treated respectfully - and in a very friendly way. No-hassle test drive. No hassle of any kind, really.

Excellent service, low pressure sales, and thorough knowledge. Concern was to match me with the car I was looking for at a pirce I could afford. Dealing with insurance and getting title and registration was seamless - they took care of it all for a price.

We have just moved to Boston from Finland and we were buying our first car here. After long and hard consideration we decided to buy Subaru Outback. To get to Cityside Subaru without a car was no problem because our salesman Alexey picked us up from Alewife T station. And not just for one time but four times altogether!(for the first and the second testdrive, to check our actual car when it arrived to the dealer and finally for the delivery) Once after our visit he even drove us straight back to our home with his own car. You can call that Customer Service!Every part of the process went well. Only little minus I have to mention is about closing up the final price of the car with all the accessories we wanted. From the emails we changed with Alexey and Robert we got the impression that the price they gave us included all the accessories. When we were signing the deal we found out that we were supposed to pay about $500 for the accessories. After a short negotiation we ended up paying about $100 for those. The mix up had something to do with our TruCarPrice and the fact that we searched the price for 2010 model and finally bought 2011 model. That mix up was not a big deal for us anyway.In conclusion we were very happy with the way we were treated at Cityside Subaru. Special thanks to Alexey but all the other persons we were dealing with were really nice as well. Br,T&S

Peter was immediately welcoming and seemed very interested in hearing what i was looking for in a car. At no point did i feel pressured--to the contrary, he put me at ease and made the whole experience a kind of exploration. During our test drive, he explained the various features of the car clearly and enthusiastically. I had fun deciding on extra features and Peter seemed to enjoy that i was enjoying the process. It was my best experience buying a car. I've already recommended Peter to my friends and family who are looking for a car.

We had a very positive experience dealing with Peter Rosenberg at Cityside Subaru in Belmont. We felt he gave us his undivided attention and was fair in his dealing with us. He was knowledgable, friendly and helpful. I am recommending him to my friends. We had had a very negative experience at another Subaru dealer in our area and chose not to return. It was a relief to be as welcomed as we were at Cityside by Peter and the other employees there -- especially to be treated like the serious buyers that we were.

I still can't believe it. We drove to the parking lot of said dealer (which is close to my home), the sales guy paid scant attention to us (I didn't mind, my wife thought this was rude). The test drive was ok, nothing special. The state of the (Subaru 2005 Outback) car wasn't that great, plenty of scratches all over the place. I came home, checked the price against Edmunds TMV, and figured out this was disconnected by several thousand dollars. I visited several other dealers, choices were somewhat limited, I found a really nice & more powerful car (Outback LL Bean 2005, similar mileage, better shape) for $1000 less. I e-mailed the first dealer, expecting to get a better offer, he refused, and claimed that the use of premium gas would be very expensive. I did the math, this wasn't quite true, and I also pointed out that it's ok to use regular gas if you don't mind losing a little bit of power. Then he claimed that using regular gas would damage the V6. Which is blatant lie #1 (as confirmed by more honest dealers). I asked again for a better offer, he kept deflecting the question. When I finally e-mailed him that this was the last time I would ask, he grudgingly said "I have between $100 and $500 of leeway", blatant lie #2 and totally useless proposal. He also said that my approach was all wrong, and I should go see him and negotiate and settle on the spot. When I told him he was off-base on both price and sales tactics, he became very flustered, claiming I should look at KBB instead of Edmunds for actual sales prices (blatant lie #3), and ended up insulting me pretty good. Some people should get a new job...Do yourself a favor, go see Planet Subaru in Hanover or Village Subaru in Acton. A MUCH more pleasant experience, and much better prices too. I settled with Planet Subaru today. Well worth the drive.

I've had my Forester for 4 years and I have over 160,000 miles on it. My Forester is my office and I have total confidence in the work performed by Cityside's technicians. Everything is fixed correctly and done right the 1st time. But beyond that is the friendliness of the customer service staff. I'm greeted by name, treated fairly and respectfully. I'm not ready to turn my current Forester in just yet but when the time comes to buy another one, I'll be going back to Cityside.

I'm not a big car buying fan. Mark made it hassle and pain free. We ordered a new Subaru and expected it to be ready a few months later. Another car came in that was exactly what we wanted, so we were able to get it 2 months sooner. Mark was responsive and always answered my questions. He was honest and direct. We feel like we paid a fair price for the car. Will be sending all future car shoppers his way. I came all the way from the South Shore to buy and will be taking it to Cityside for service. Love the shopping bags and travel mugs!

This was the best car buying experience I have ever had! I went through several dealerships before finding this one. Each time I had a fill out forms, go through lengthy conversations about what kind of car I wanted, what else I might consider, even though each time I walked in, stated exactly what I wanted and requested a test drive. Mark greeted me, made a copy of my license, handed me a key and I was test driving within minutes! He was friendly, welcoming, concrete, professional, and extremely helpful. When it came time to negotiate, we never felt taken advantage of or bamboozled in any way. Everybody at CitySide was professional and nice. They had us driving our car off the lot within an hour, which was simply amazing. I'm looking forward to getting all my service needs done there as well. What a pleasure!

I am sorry I don't remember the man's name behind the Cityside service counter, but he immediately calmed me after a few rough car days.I took my 10 year old Subaru to two or three places close to work, to find out what the knocking noise was on the bottom of my car plus why the runner lights would not turn off. You would not believe all the explanations I got. I got frustrated with the other places not hearing the knocking (maybe too much loud music in their youth), as it was very loud to me. These other people were very nice, but just did not seem to be able to figure out the problems. Of course, they did not charge me or try to take advantage. But I needed the car fixed. So I went back to Cityside. This Cityside gentleman figured the light problem in a nano second. They fixed the knocking noise in 30 min (another place had replaced my broken Axle, and put something on backwards which caused the noise), while I waited in their comfortable showroom with the day's Globe. So I went from thinking this was going to cost over $1000, to walking out with a $52 bill! Maybe they saw me clicking my heels in the parking lot.I have been to Cityside before and was always happy with my service. I told the serviceman I will never take my Subaru anywhere else, even if I have to go a greater distance than places closer to work.

Our experience with Cityside Subaru was a very pleasant one. Alex saw us looking at Foresters and let us know he was around to answer any questions without badgering us. Eventually we found him and asked for a test drive, which was speedily arranged.Alex had a lot of good things to say about the Forester, but was also honest in giving us the pros and cons between that car and the other ones we were considering. Obviously we liked the car enough to buy it, and Alex was also reasonable when it came to the price.When we went to pick up the car, Alex explained every detail of the materials we were getting so we would know where to look if we had any trouble. He called the following week as well to make sure everything we going well. We had heard great things about this dealership before, and they came through.

Buying a car with the expertise of Peter has been very knowledgeable and pleasant. Too often, car agents try to convince you to buy something that doesnt really reflect you. No wonder why they got the nickname of sharksPeter has nothing to do with the typical agent: his way to listen, to observe and to analyze will allow him to help you choosing a car that will correspond to your needs and your personality. Plus his smile will welcome you with friendship and trust; and his Karma poster will reveal a man full of humanity.Thanks Peter, for your patience and your kindness. Acheter une voiture en la compagnie et lexpertise de Peter Rosenberg a ete une experience tres formatrice et agreable. Les agents typiques veulent vous convaincre dun projet dachat qui, trop souvent, ne vous correspond pas. Ce nest pas par hasard quon les surnomme de requins . Peter ne ressemble en rien a lagent typique : son sens de lecoute, de lobservation et de lanalyse, sauront vous orienter sur le modele qui repondra a vos besoins et votre personnalite.

I had a very positive experience buying a new Outback from City Side Subaru. Mark was great to work with. He was very friendly and found us the perfect car in our price range. Even when we did run into an issue the whole dealership went out of there way to make sure we were satisfied. i.e. The day we were to pick up the car, there was an issue with the state DMV so they couldn't get us the new plates. But the very next day Mark personally delivered the car to my office, just in time for our road trip vacation! I would recommend buying a Subaru from Mark at City Side to anyone and everyone looking for a great AWD car.

Working with Mark Lidano was a pleasure. I came in twice to drive a Legacy, Mark was very accommodating and pleasant. I had done my research and had a good price from another dealer, but these guys are a local dealer. Mark met the price on the first car, which was the same model with same options that I was quoted. Mark offered me the second car that I drove at a higher price, but it was a good price. I went with the second car and we all agreed that it was a nicer option. The rest of the team was great to work with.

We stumbled into this dealership checking the market value of a 2010 Subaru Forester on USAA.com. When we registered to have USAA authorized dealerships to contact us, Cityside Subaru called us within an hour. Once we got there, Mark took us on a GREAT test drive that lasted nearly 20 minutes, testing all the different features on the car. Although they told us that there was only one 2010 Forester with a manual transmission left in all of New England because all the dealerships were making room for the 2011 models, we didn't feel much pressure at all. We knew that we were getting fair value for the car from both USAA and Edmunds.com. Within a day we had a brand new car that we couldn't be happier with. The only problem we encountered with this dealership was when they mistakenly gave us the wrong spare key. A few days later, we went back to the dealership, and Mark decided to give us all weather mats for the inconvenience. It's that kind of respect for the customer that we will remember when we think of Cityside Subaru.

I would give Peter a higher rating than the overall dealership. He was very accommodating when it came to our test drive requests and was always upbeat and friendly. Negotiating a deal was more stressful, as is expected. The manager kept rearranging the numbers without actually changing anything. When confronted, they started to be a bit more reasonable, but still gave me a low offer on my trade in. In the end, the price was fair and we walked away with some new wheels. Haven't dealt with the service department yet. Don't forget about the WBUR discount.

Several colleagues had mentioned Cityside Subaru to me over the past few years. Finally, it was time to get a replacement for my 12-year-old RAV4. Although the dealership was not convenient to my home (about 50 miles away), it was close enough to work for my consideration. I made an appointment via email, and they were responsive and friendly in their email responses prior to my visit. Dwight O'Hara greeted me on the sales floor and quickly assessed my needs and general situation. I told him my last new car had been a 1994 Subaru Legacy Wagon. He "made a match" immediately for me with a 2006 Subaru Legacy Wagon. I test drove it on a very bumpy road and it was a pleasure to drive. I liked its look and features. I had done my research re: trade-in value range for my RAV4, and he was able to offer enough to make the sale happen. I also appreciated that I could get a reasonable financing rate with no pre-payment penalty.Overall, Dwight and Cityside made the whole experience as painless as possible. All my questions were answered honestly and thoroughly. I concur with my colleagues' assessments of Cityside and would definitely steer other people to this dealership.

I was just giving a position in pharmaceutical sales. I needed a car that would be dependable and could handle a lot of miles. I explained this to Rob and he was able to break down a car that would work for me. I had a great experience there. Happy to buy a car from a great dealership.

My wife and I just bought our first new car together from Cityside Subaru and the experience could not have been better. Throughout the process we worked with Michael Nelson who was extremely patient and helpful as we researched the Outback, Forrester, and Tribeca. At no point did we feel any pressure from him or anyone else on staff. Instead he provided accurate and timely answers to every question we threw his way and allowed us to make our decision at our own pace. In the end we chose the 2011 Outback and after doing extensive research on prices offered by other dealerships, found that Cityside provided the most competitive package for the car, warranty, and service options we wanted. Michael and the rest of Cityside Subaru staff deserve high praise for the professional way they conducted themselves, and I will be recommending them to anyone looking at exploring Subaru in the future.-Craig

People typically say how stressful it is to buy a new car and the pressure that is put on them by the salespeople. Because of this perception, I was dreading walking into the Cityside Subaru showroom to buy a new car, especially since my husband was not able to join me at the first visit. However, my personal experience was exactly the opposite. The salesperson, Peter Rosenberg, was friendly, patient, honest, answered all my questions, and did not pressure me in any way. Because of his approach, I was able to make intelligent decisions and actually became excited about purchasing a Subaru Legacy -the test drive gave me enough time to feel comfortable about my purchase. The other staff that I interracted with were also friendly and helpful with financing, registration, inspection and follow-up - they did what they said they were going to do. When I returned with my husband to pick up the car his experience matched mine. I never imagined that buying a new car could be such an positive experience. I am even looking forward to bringing my car back to the dealership for the 30,000 mile check-up!

After having a negative experience at Metrowest Subaru in Natick, I decided to try CitySide. The salesman Peter was great to deal with. This was the best experience that I ever had at a dealership. I felt that the price was fair and Peter continued to provide excellent customer service even after the sale was made. He carefully and patiently explained everything that he thought I needed to know. Alan was also very pleasant and helpful when explaining options and financing and was not the least bit pushy. I am very happy with my new Subaru Forester and would highly recommend CitySide Subaru to anyone.

We went to Cityside Subaru based on the reviews on Dealer Rater. We are from Norwood so since there was a dealer here in town - it was a drive to get to Belmont. That said - the experience was great!Mark met with us on 3 separate occasions before we made the decision to purchase: once with me, once with both of us, and once again when we finally decided to purchase. He has been friendly, helpful, professional and very patient with us throughout the whole process. We never felt any pressure to buy - in fact it was just the opposite. He worked with us on our trade and recommended a few things to help us with that decision. He also worked with us in terms of meeting us as close as possible on the price we were looking for. We were able to take advantage of a very good deal if we ordered a 2011 before 6/30/10. We had to wait a bit - but an Outback matching what we wanted arrived in mid-July - even in red which is the color we wanted! The car is fantastic! I have been an owner of a volkswagon, a 14 year old Toyota Corolla, and a 2005 Camry Wagon. This is my first Subaru and I am really pleased. I have to say the experience of purchasing this car far exceeded any other car experience with other dealers that I have had. I have already recommended several friends to Cityside, and will keep doing so into the future! Thanks so very much! We love our new car! And best of all - our little dog loves it too!

Bought a new Impreza Outback Sport from Cityside over a year ago (our first new car). I was very surprised about how painless it was. I got a quote from the Internet sales manager that was much lower than other dealerships' quotes and was pleasantly surprised when he stuck with it. In fact, another dealer told me that there was no way Cityside could sell me the car at the quoted price. Sales stuff was great and let us test drive day and night so we could get a good feel for the car. No pressure at all from the staff. Finance person was not as laid back when it came to the extended warranty, but not horrible.

I traded in my older impreza and got a new impreza wrx here. I went to a couple other dealerships as well, and have to say I felt most comfortable at Cityside. Got a pretty good deal on my tradein, and a good price on the new car I believe, without a lot of pressure during the process. They were patient as I went back and forth on the options I wanted, were able to get the vehicle I wanted even tho it wasn't in the lot at first, and were more permissive on the test drive than the others (not pushing me to return to the dealership in a hurry, etc). Mike was great, and I really appreciated that he was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the Subaru WRX. I've also had a lot of the maintenance on my earlier Subaru done at Cityside and have never had a problem.

We keep our cars for 10 to 12 years before we buy a new one. Needless to say, we always approach car dealerships with some amount of skepticism. We had checked out the ratings on Subaru dealers in advance and Cityside was rated very well and was a good location for us. Peter at Cityside put us at ease. He listened to what we wanted and did not try to talk us into bigger or more expensive cars. He was very informative allowing us all the time we needed to make a decision. We did not feel pressured at all. At every step of the way we felt very well informed. Everything went smoothly and we love our new car.

My wife and I recently purchased a 2010 Forester from Cityside. I'm a life-long VW driver, but many of our friends recommended that we look into the Forester, so we went in for a test drive. Peter put us at ease, transforming the stressful process of buying a new car (at a particularly stressful time in out lives for other, non-car related reasons) into a relatively calm experience. He was personable, attentive and respectful. We didn't feel like we were being pressured or taken advantage of, and are very happy with the car. It was a wonderful experience.

Customer Service, Friendliness and Overall Experience were all wonderful. The car is used and had some cleanliness issues (i.e. dog hair in the back seat). I had expected it to be detail cleaned but there was still some hair and dirt under the fold out seats in the back after the pre-purchase cleaning was completed. Overall it was good, especially for a used car on it's 3rd owner. It is in great condition mechanically, and they allowed for a friend to come take an expert look at the engine, body, and overall quality of the car, which he was very impressed with.

Terrific service dept. no pressure, friendly, knowledgable, courteous staff. The absolute best waiting area. This is my first Subaru and decided to have it serviced at the dealer. I bought it at a different dealership and had it serviced three times before going to Cityside Subaru, not because of any problems but because of convenience to home. The customer experience however is like night and day. I guess I didn't realize how good waiting could be with access to TV, reading material, internet connection. Before I knew it my car was ready...........and I wasn't. I highly recommend having your Subaru serviced at Cityside, it's an experience not found at most dealerships.

The reason we would recommend this dealership is because of their friendly and courteous sales staff. We were greeted promptly and the dealership was clean and organized! There was no 'high pressure' sales tactics whatsoever. We were able to test drive the car without a sales rep. They even stayed late past closing to accommodate us.Our new car was ready on the date and time promised with a full tank of gas. The finance manager explained everything regarding our loan during which he informed us of some extras we might want (pre-paid maintenance & extended warranty) but did not pursue this after we respectfully declined. We were introduced to the service manager thereafter.This was the most pleasant car purchase ever!

Because my car-shopping time was going to be limited, I was happy to take the recommendation of family members and colleagues and visit CitySide first. Glad I did. I found the "just right" used vehicle for my needs and the buying experience was most pleasant. After doing some considerable internet research and visiting two other dealerships, I was confident I was getting an excellent value. The sales process with Peter Rosenberg was both easy and professional. Like finding a great mechanic, finding a trusted dealership is one of life's bonuses. I would recommend CitySide highly.

CitySide Subaru posted the lowest below dealer invoice price quote on the Consumer Report's Build & Buy program, which they honored without hesitation. Also, they gave me the best value for my trade-in. I worked with Rob Krasow on the initial sale and Mark Lidano when I picked up my Forester. Everyone was very professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. Initially I had opted for an extended service plan, but changed my mind a few days later. I had no problem canceling this. It was a very positive and relaxed buying process. I would certainly recommend this dealership and their personnel.

We Visited the dealer on a "drive-by" whim. The place was clean and inviting and had one of every car inside so we could figure out what we liked without walking around out in the cold. There is a waiting area with TV and magazines, a bathroom and a nice open floor with desks and offices and lots of windows to view the lot with the available inventory. We were greeted by Mark who was polite, sincere and low pressure. He is a great listener and totally in tune with making sure to cover all your likes and dislikes. He was patient; especially with our two toddlers who were all over the place and worked at our speed to sell us a car. We were slow initially but once we made the decision we got our car within 48 hours and it was no problem. Finally everyone was thorough and even gave us a tour of the place as well as a detailed introduction to our new car. We would recommend this dealership and will also go here for service.

After spending months researching cars and settle on the Outback with specific options, I test drove at CitySide and later contacted the internet manager: Rob Krasow. I had read good reviews about them and they were the closest dealership to us so I wanted it to work but was prepared to deal with other dealers as well. Rob was very professional and we exchange a few emails and calls until we agreed on price. The car had to be ordered but it turned out later that one was available and they would add accessories at factory prices to move the car. Nathan did the paperwork and was also very professional and helpful. I ended up trading in the car and getting extended warranty as it felt right.Delivery was also a breeze and Mike Nelson explained all the aspects of the auto until we were comfortable driving away. He offered to have us contact him at any time for any follow up questions.After nearly two months of owning the car, there are no apparent defects.The only complaint is that it rained heavily that day but it's not their fault!I'll be telling my friends about the best dealer experience I've ever had. Thanks guys!

I've gone to Cityside since they were in Arlington. My Outback is 8 years old and running well. The guys at Cityside are nice, efficient and they put up with ill-behaved customers all day long it seems. They've always treated me very well, even when I may have slipped into my own ill-behavior after being in a hit and run accident that wiped out my entire left side--tires and rims. They are patient and kind. Brian even put on my new plates for me once.

Ready to hear something you dont often hear? I had an absolute blast buying my brand new car. Cityside made it painless, fun, and easy. On my first visit, Mike greeted me while my girlfriend and I were wandering around the showroom, and he didn't pressure us at all. He answered our questions, was completely honest, and it was more like talking to a person knowledgeable about cars and not a car salesmen. After narrowing what I wanted down to a Impreza hatchback, he let my girlfriend and I take the car for a spin - by ourselves, with no time limit. That level of trust is paramount at Cityside. Price was hugely important to me while shopping -- cars are a commodity, after all. But its worth noting that I didn't only based the winning dealership off price. The amazing experience I had at Cityside played into my purchase. I'd rather build a relationship with a trustworthy dealership, than save a few hundred up front. There was one dealer that was willing to sell to me $500 cheaper than Cityside but his dealership was reputed to do bait and switches, sell lemons and got all around awful reviews. Again, I was willing to leave $500 on the table to go with a close dealership I felt great about. During negotiations, I also dealt with one of the sales managers, Dan. Very professional, and friendly while meeting my needs and the needs of his business.A few weeks ago, I walked into CitySide Subaru in Belmont. I signed some papers, which had been explained on follow-up phone cars, and drove off in my brand new car: a silver hatchback 2010 Subaru Impreza. Epic. Win.

If you want a fair and no hassles car buying experience, then City Side Subaru is the place for you. Rob Krasows honest, direct and calm demeanor enabled us to reach a quick agreement over the internet and phone. He did everything and more to get the car with the options I wanted. Many dealers closer to me on the South Shore shied away from the model I wanted, Outback 4dr Wagon H6 Auto 3.6R Ltd with none of the added big ticket extras. They either stated that it was too much trouble to find the car or that it would take 2 to 3 months to get it. Well it only took Rob a week to get the car close to the configuration that I wanted at the same agreed to price. He found the car in Vermont and had it on his Belmont lot within the week. Thanks again for the extras!!!When I picked up the car Mark Lidano walked my wife and I through all the bells and whistles of the new car. He gave us as much time as we needed and answered all of our questions thoroughly. Both Mark and Rob gave us their contact numbers to call them with any future questions or issues that we may have. Thanks and best of luck.

My family had outgrown my 2008 Scion (2 boys, aged 3 and 4), and I was looking for something small(ish), safe, reliable, and fun - a tall order to give to any auto dealer. Add to that my 6 foot 6 inch frame, and it is almost an impossible task to meet my every demand. I never thought I would fit into a Subaru, so I had never considered the brand before. With some pushing from a friend, I decided to give Subaru a shot. I contacted Rob Krasow via email on a Monday morning, explained what my needs were, and set up an appointment for later in the morning to give the Subaru line a look. When I arrived at Cityside, there were two cars lined up for me to test drive. Don and I went for a test drive in a 2010 Outback Sport, and I was impressed - AWD, 170 HP, brisk acceleration, the short gear shifts (manual tranny), the standard equipment that would substantially raise the price of the other cars I was shopping (seat heaters, heated windshield, roof rack, fog lamps, 10 speaker sound system, tonneau cover), and what appeared to be ACRES of SPACE! I was actually comfortable! Upon return from our test, Don handed me the keys to a white 2010 WRX, and sent me back out aloneI returned with a grin plastered on my face. In Rob's office, both men were low key, and I felt no pressure. Rob worked the numbers and gave me a very reasonable price quote for both cars. They thanked me for coming in, and I left, but not before spying a black 2010 Outback Sport on the lot.I returned home and, after many hours of research, found out that the car I was falling in love with was a logical choice. At five p.m. that very afternoon, I was back at Cityside, giving Rob a deposit on the black Outback Sport. By 11 a.m. Tuesday morning, the guys had provided the necessary paperwork to my insurance company and credit union, and I had a check in hand for Cityside Tuesday afternoon. I picked up my new baby on Thursday evening.I cannot praise Cityside enough - 1) they understood my needs and helped me to find the car that was 'just right'; 2) there was absolutely no pressure; 3) the price was spot on - very reasonable and fair to both of us; 4) they are a group of guys who are genuinely nice!

I was out looking for a good used car, did plenty of research on my current vehicle's worth and the market value of the Car I was looking for. After contacting cityside online, I showed up and was given the keys for a test drive. I was definitely happy with the car though it was originally priced higher then competitors. I spoke with Dwight regarding the situation and he was extremely helpful regarding the price I was looking at and helped me get down to exactly where I wanted to be without any haggling. It was easily the smoothest car transaction I've ever been a part of. I picked my car up a few days later after they fixed the agreed upon items and I've been thrilled ever since. I'd recommend Dwight and Cityside to anyone after this experience.

Going into this process, I was a little bit nervous. I'd never gone through the car-buying process before and I wasn't sure what to expect. Peter and the guys at Cityside really put my fears to rest. Everyone was incredibly helpful, and Peter couldn't have been friendlier. He knew exactly which car I wanted and set me up for a test drive within about five minutes. The car drove great, and when I got back it was just a question of where I should sign. Moreover, they located the exact car I wanted (since the color I wanted wasn't at the dealer the first day I went) within just a few days, FAR sooner than expected. Every experience should be this easy, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the result.

Went to Cityside Subaru in Belmont, MA looking for a new car. Sales person's name was Peter. He showed us what we wanted to see on two different days; didn't highball/lowball/ragtime/pressure us at any time; negotiated a price in a professional, reasonable, and good-humored manner; and we bought a car. Without aggravation. A miracle! He/they should give lessons in how to do business and treat customers. There are some dealers in the Metrowest area who could sure use some schooling. But these guys don't. Thank you, Cityside - and you too, Peter!

We went to CitySide because it was conveniently located and we were interested in a small AWD car. Michael Nelson was very pleasant and helpful, knowledgeable about the Impreza models, and had no problem with our long and winding test drive. We came in thinking we wanted the Outback Sport, but when we described what options we really wanted he suggested the less expensive 2.5i Premium -- bonus points for that. Shopped on Tuesday, drove the car home on Friday. There were a couple of annoying aspects to the process, but they are probably not under the dealer's control. First, we couldn't get a best-and-final price from them -- we had to make an offer. This method of haggling left us thinking we could have gotten a better deal. Second, we got a very low price for our trade-in. Third, the standard warranties don't show much manufacturer confidence in their product, and the optional extra-cost extended warranties (and special treatment for protecting the paint!) seem like high-margin add-ons that shouldn't be necessary. We've had the car for one day and it's working fine so far. After reading an earlier review, I guess I should check the tire pressure.

My fiance and I made our first Subaru purchase, a 2010 Forester, at Cityside Subaru with Mark Lidano. We visited a closer Subaru dealer in Wakefield, Massachusetts before going to Cityside Subaru in Belmont, but the first dealership didn't know their products and were generally unprepared and a bit rude.Mark Lidano at Cityside Subaru made us feel very welcome and addressed all of our concerns. He knew every detail about the car, every knob and button, and pointed out details we otherwise would not have noticed. He did not try to upsell us to a more expensive vehicle, trim level, or even any options.I might add that we first visited Cityside in the late summer of 2009, actually buying a Forester about 7 months later. Mark was patient with us throughout the whole process and was not pushy. We must have test driven the Forester four or five times.We ended up getting the car for just a few hundred over invoice, and it went so smoothly I am still wondering if I offered too much.Cityside is selling the most Subarus in the area for a reason - I say check them out even if they are not the closest dealer to where you live.

I can't believe that I am actually writing a review about a car dealer, but the conduct of Rob Krasow is worth pointing out to all car shoppers as a public service. (I wish I read this site before contacting a dealer, tell your car shopping friends about it.)Rob is a great find. He was honest, direct, intelligent and very easy to deal with over email and phone. He provided a fast, clear quote and was eager to help me save a couple of hundred dollars over another dealer.Had the new local dealer not been in such an easy to reach location I would have called Rob Krasow first and likely would have made a good purchase from him.I strongly encourage people to consider calling or emailing him. He was not 'your father's car salesman'.

The rest of the team at Cityside (we dealt with both Alan and Mike) was very friendly and accommodating to our schedule. Thanks for making the overall experience a good one!

When we first went to CitySide Subaru, we had a hard time choosing between a Forester or Outback. But Mike helped us to make the decision. He was patient, very knowledgeable and professional, and not pushy at all. Instead of being a typical salesperson as we normally see in car dealership, he was more like someone working in the service department. We felt that he was there just to facilitate the whole buying process. This made our experience at CitySide Subaru very enjoyable.

We had a great experience at CitySide Subaru. This was our first time purchasing a new car, and they made the process very easy. We also were able to get the price we wanted on the vehicle that we wanted. They were helpful without being too pushy. I would highly recommend CitySide Subaru.

The employees at Cityside are always courteous, take the time to explain what the problem is and how they intend to address it, and they tell you up front what the charges will be. I have never felt that they are pushing to do more work than what is necessary, as has been my experience at other dealers. I brought my Outback in recently because I thought I heard a grinding noise coming from one of the brakes. They examined it and found no problems, told me that there was ample pad depth left for another 10,000 miles and didn't charge me anything. They have a small but sufficient waiting room with TV and another area where you can set up your laptop and have free Keurig coffee. Not the Taj Mahal, but very nice, always clean. We bought our car here, as well, and got the best deal around. We like it so much that we drive to Belmont from Milton to get the car serviced. I would highly recommend this dealership (and have!)

Mark was very patient, with not an ounce of pressure to buy. He was friendly and honest, as was all the support staff at Cityside. The finance department was a bit more aggressive, but informative and not pushy. I was hoping to get the price down below MSRP, that didn't happen, but received a good trade-in value.

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Mark was very helpful without being "car salesman pushy". Very accomodating on the test drive. Price was very competitive and lower than two other dealers. Excellent orientation with new vehicle. Mark seemed as excited as I was going over all the bells and whistles of my new car. Very enjoyable experience.

This time, Peter, Dan, and Nathan knew exactly what we wanted and streamlined the entire process. We felt that we got a good deal and even got some free ski lift tickets to boot. ;-) We'll be thinking of you guys when we load up the Subi for a day out on the slopes! Thanks for everything!!

I had heard good things about CitySide and had always wanted to look closer at Subarus, having never owned one. When I needed a new car I stopped by there "new" location (used to them being on Broadway in Arlington). I was met in the showroom by Glen Dalton who was courteous. No hard sales but did press for what I needed in a car, price range, etc. That was fine, and expected. He was able to narrow down the inventory quickly, show me some specific vehicles and respond to my comments as I drove each car. By time I left I had a great experience and a good idea what I wanted in a car. Definitely a Subaru Outback. Glen called ma back a couple days later, and we talked about moving forward. He was straight forward on negotiating and we came up with what I thought was a fair price. Immediately after that conversation, my friend who had loaned me his truck called and said he would need it back because a woman had crashed into his other truck. I only mention this because I subsequently asked CitySide for a number of favors which they responded to, and without knowing my situation. They were great. I immediately called back and asked if I could have the car a couple hours for a mechanics review. No problem. I asked if they could assist in getting my payment completed quickly. No Problem. I asked if they could provide a loaner car when they weren't able to turn over the car that day. No problem. They provided when they didn't really need to...the extra effort. All on a day when we were getting snow flurries, expecting a big snow storm, and they wanted to get out of there and go home. But I was particularly impressed when I asked about the 2009 Forester they had provided as a loaner car and what it would take to get me into that...Glen did not jump on the hard sale(which he could have easily sold to me)he responded with what my original goals were and to keep within those. So instead of buying the newer car for $10,000 more he convinced me to stay with my original purchase. Maybe he was just sick of dealing with me..haha...but that made a good impression. AND I'm loving the car I bought. When I buy my next car I will visit CitySide first.

This is my second Subaru purchase from Glen. While at other places I feel like I'm talking to a car dealer, at CitySide I feel like they do everything they can to get me in the car I want at the price I want with no pressure. Glen is honest about the car he thinks you need even if it's the less expensive option. There is no feeling of them trying to squeeze every dollar out of you. And I actually enjoyed "bargaining" with Glen and Dan Rosengarten both times. Plus the service department is phenomenal - very friendly and fast.

Going in to Cityside Subaru is always a refreshing pleasure compared to ALL my experiences at dealership service centers in the past. The pricing, I have to admit, is so good because I have the comprehensive, extended warranty on my Subaru - which is unparalleled in how much it covers... so I'm always pleased when even minor repairs are covered!The intake crew for service arrivals is quick and easy. Then there's a comfortable seating area with coffee, flat screen t.v., comfortable chairs, and a work-area for laptops. They always call my name almost TOO QUICKLY to tell me my repair is done.In times I have had to leave my car for the day, they have a great drop-off/pick-up service to Alewife T-station. And in the one case where my repair wasn't completed by the end of the day, they speedily got me set up with a loaner for the night.Awesome customer service. Well worth the price of going to the dealership for repairs.

We went to Cityside because we had done research and the Forester was the car for us, we had been told that the service at this dealership was the best in the Boston area.When we went to pick up the new car it had been damaged in the parking lot, we decided to leave the car and have it repaired and delivered to us, which was done within 36 hours. What could have turned out to be a lasting bad impression was avoided by the "let us take care of that immediately" attitude.

Michael was very easy to work with, answered all my questions, and was very patient with my indecisiveness. There was no pressure on me at all, and Michael led me to the perfect car for my needs.

We (my wife and I) have been car shopping for a couple of months. We visited about ten dealerships, and thus spoke with numerous salespeople. We did lots of research on the main auto websites as well as the manufacturer websites. During this process w were continually finding salespeople who couldn't answer questions or who insisted on applying pressure tactics when we made it quite clear that we were in the stages of looking at various vehicles and trying to find out as much as possible, including price. It was a long and frustrating process at most dealers. At Cityside Subaru the salesman was intelligent, polite, personable and willing to take time to explain all of the vehicle features and answer all of our comparative questions - without any pressure. We were clearly impressed with the salesman and we were equally impressed when we spotted a problem with the body of the vehicle, which had been damaged in the dealer parking lot. It was repaired and personally delivered to us the next day. We are more than pleased with the clear information, price quotes and the forthcoming nature of our salesman.

My fiance and I were looking to buy either a VW Golf or a Subaru Impreza hatchback. We test drove both using Zipcar and decided to go with a Subaru Impreza. We currently have a 2005 Subaru Impreza, bought used and haven't had any problems with it at all. We've even had it serviced at Cityside and been satisfied there.With that in mind, we got our VIP certificate through my company and headed over to Cityside. Micahel Nelson sat down with us, went through the options we were looking for and looked up appropriate cars. He was especially helpful in letting us know about some special models available that would save us quite a bit of money while getting us some features such as the all-weather package and a sun-roof. Once we had settled on a particular car, Michael worked with us through all the paperwork and we were done in a short amount of time.A couple days later we picked up the car without a problem and have been enjoying it since. We are very happy with the experience we had with Michael and would certainly recommend him to our family and friends, as well as you.

I would definitely recommend Michael and Cityside Subaru.

I just purchased a new Subaru Outback at CitySide Subaru. The experience was as positive as any I've had in purchasing a car, new or used. Mark Lidano is the go to guy here. He is a kind ,softspoken and very patient salesperson. A rare find in a car dealership ! He is well informed about all aspects of the Subaru models he shows ,as well as the comparitve models of other brands ( no negative spin on the other brands, just the facts/ specs). I did a lot of research and price comparisons and felt City Side was fair and honest in their negotiations. They really did try to put you in the car you were looking for without the high pressure tactics I saw in other dealerships . Mark let me know what was available and described in detail the cost each item ,package, or added service and how it could or could not be of benenfit in my specific situation. If I said "no" , I can't afford, don't want or need that it was respected. Once we arrived on a car and price the follow through was excellent right through to my driving it off the lot. Mark made sure we were helped through financing ,service, and every detail of how the Outback worked. No "ok, deal done your outta here" in this dealership ! Everyone I came in contact with at CitySide was helpful, when you walked in someone always was available with a " Can I help you,let me get your salesperson." The dealership as a whole seems very efficient, no hanging around waiting for things to happen. If you had an appointment , ie: for a test drive, your car was cleaned off, started and warmed (no small feat on the 2 snowy days I was there). Thanks City Side ( especially Mark). I am enjoying my Outback so far ! SJP , Acton, MA

When our 2003 wagon finally "expired" (CitySides excellent repair staff helped us get to 226K with her), there was no question where we would be shopping for our next car. Prepped with hours of internet searching, my husband and I walked into the dealer on cold, dark Monday evening to do some first-hand research. I consider myself to be a cream puff in the negotiation department and was nervous that I would let us be talked into buying something that night. However, our sales person, Michael Nelson, actually let us ask all our internet research-generated questions, grieve our old car by telling many stories unrelated to the task at hand, and showed us whatever could be seen by the interior dome light in several cars out on the lot on a frigid January night with polite, engaged professionalism. Far from being talked into buying something that night, I felt both relieved and confident that this was going to be a good experience. There is more pressure to buy at Dunkin Donuts than CitySide.We came back on the weekend to do some test driving, and while the dealership got increasingly busy while we were there, Michael set us up with several test drives, and made sure that we were taken care at all times. At the last minute, we veered from our original plan, and test-drove a different model/year, which ended up being the car we bought. We really appreciated that Michaels goal was for us to get the car we wanted, not just to make a sale, and that we left that day knowing we had the best car at the best price possible.We had a great first experience with Michael, one of many positive interactions with CitySide Subaru.

I purchased a 2010 Outback from Cityside which I am delighted with. I had not bought a car for over 10 years and had never owned a Subaru before so there was a great deal of technology and functionality I was not familiar with. Michael Nelson was a great help. He was friendly, courteous and extremely knowledgeable. He spent alot of time with me to understand how I use my vehicle and what capabilities were important to me. It was clear Michael knew the product line well. He rode with me as I test drove several variations of the Outback until I found the one that was right for me. Incidentally, my purchase occurred just after the 2009 "Cash for Clunkers" program and Michael was even able to tell me which colors and options could be obtained the quickest. A very sincere and likable man. No pressure whatsoever. I am happy with my car and my purchasing experience at Cityside.

They were respectful about negotiating prices and trade-in value that fit into my budget. They made the process of changing plates, registration, title, and getting a new inspection sticker painless as well as they have the authorization to do all of this right at the dealership. Even after purchasing the car, employers at Cityside were still quick to answer any questions I had through telephone calls or emails.

I visited several other Subaru dealers in the greater Boston area, and I was dissapointed by their sales staff.I worked with Mark Lidano and purchased a new car. I was looking for someone to help me find and purchase a specific vehicle. Unlike the staff at the other local dealerships, Mark did not try to persuade me to buy something that was on the lot. Mark found the exact vehicle that I wanted, even though it was not in the inventory. He also helped me find and install several aftermarket additions, some of which were not in the dealership's inventory. I have contacted him several times since the purchase; he is easily accessible, kind, and a true professional.I could not be more pleased with Mark Lidano.

these guys get 5 stars for me. my sales guy Mark Lidano, is totally not your typical car sales man, i'm not quite sure he knew what to do with me because I pretty much knew what I wanted. He did have an AWESOME test drive route which really showed off the capabilities of the AWD. so long story short, Friday Jan 1 : wanted a legacy, hated the 2010 body style, and couldn't downgrade to 170 HP for the reg impreza, went home disappointed, Jan 2: browsed the internets, found a black on black wrx, did some math i can afford it yay! called Mark. 1130am went in, and by 1pm owned the car. He gave me all weather mats for my birthday! Mark also made sure everything was clear before continuing to the next step in the process. No half promises for things he couldn't do, i really appreciated that.I got the glass coat, stain resistant treatment, extended warranty, and pre-paid service plan and Alan Lampas the finance guy still kept my monthly payments to what I wanted them to be. He was quick, super helpful, and got things done so i could take my car home as promised even when my insurance company messed up and didn't really add the new car to the ins. I picked the car up on Monday Jan 4. 265 HP, AWD, sexy sexy black on black, i wet my panties in a good way on the drive home... Next up: we'll see how the service dept does...

Maybe I should have dealt with another salesperson--saw another review confirming this guy's arrogance. he didn't even want to negotiate down from the MSRP, and started spouting off about how Cityside is the #1 dealership, blah, blah. Asked for my credit card without even further discussing price. Maybe he shoudl be selling vaccum cleaners too. Arrogant. Buying a car is all about negotiation, not condescension.

Being a female many dealers treated me like I didn't know what I was talking about. Yet, upon arriving at Cityside Subaru I was treated with the respect I felt I deserved. Prior to arriving at dealership I had done my "homework" on the car of my choice, so I knew the basics such as list price and features. They (dealers) did not in any way try to pull a fast one on me. They worked with me to get me the car I wanted. Overall I would say that my experience at Cityside was a pleasant one. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a new car.

Cityside Subaru is an awesome dealership! I can't say enough good things about them. I bought a new car there and have been absolutely thrilled since. I've always mistrusted car salesmen with their high pressure tactics. Then I went to Cityside Subaru - totally opposite of all my pre-conceptions! Everyone is friendly and welcoming. More importantly, they listened to me and gave me the car that was the best fit for me. My highest priority was a car with superior handling in the rain/snow and that's exactly what I got. It gives me such peace of mind when I drive in the bad weather to know I have a car that I can trust. Cityside Subaru has a few things that you don't see very often these days - honest and trustworthy people and fantastic service. I am truly grateful.

My experience with Rob and Don was excellent. They were friendly, up front, no pressure, professional, and best of all, no games or BS. They worked with me to get a deal going for a great new car. I highly recommend shopping here if you are in the market for a Subaru, as I had "interesting" experiences with others.

I came to CitySide after finally narrowing my choice of auto down to a Subaru. This was the 2nd Subaru dealer I visited and was pleasantly surprised at the contrast to my first stop. The previous sales pressure I had experienced was replaced with a comfortable discussion about what I needed in a vehicle and how they (Michael)could help. I felt relaxed and better able to talk numbers without feeling that making a sale was the ultimate goal. Michael's attitude made spending the money less painful. To me, this is the approach that other dealerships can learn from. I should mention that this was the first time I had purchased from a dealership.

This was one of my best car buying experiences. I worked with Glen Dalton. He listened to my requests and concerns and helped me get the exact car for my needs. The dealership is clean and all employees are friendly. I couldn't be happier with the overall experience.

We visited several Subaru dealers to look for a particular model my wife wanted. Out of all the Subarus in the Boston area, Cityside was by far the friendliest and most upfront during negotiations. Glen was great at presenting what Subaru had to offer without pushing anything onto us. We never felt pressured into anything and had a very pleasant overall experience. If you are looking for a Subaru in the Boston area, start looking here.

Wonderful and well organized dealership; good selection at competitive prices. People are friendly and informative without too much pressure. Mark L. and sales team were fabulous. He/they helped find the specific car that was ultimately of interest by price, color and features even though it had to be brought in from another dealer. He also made pick-up seamless and efficent; and even followed up a few days after purchase to see how/whether we were pleased with the new car.

I'm innately suspicious of dealerships, but had heard great things about Cityside and was pleased with how I was handled. Unlike some other dealerships, they didn't float me a 'fake' price to start the negotiations, but instead worked from the truecar.com price from the start. In the end, they didn't offer me the lowest quote but I chose them anyway, because I value honest dealings and believe that it portends continued good interactions throughout the life of the car.

I knew that I wanted to replace my 11-year old non-all wheel drive car with a Subaru because I know many Subaru owners who say that it's the best car for winter driving. I chose CitySide because it is not far from my house and because I see lots of Subarus in this area with CitySide decals on the back. My first impression of the dealership was very good -- lots of cars to sit in in the showroom. When I was ready to talk to someone, I didn't have to wait, even though the place was fairly busy. I was able to test drive a Legacy right away and I liked the feel of the car. I needed to think about my decision, so I was glad that no one tried to pressure me. I returned the next day, though, and bought the car that I had test drove. I found everyone at the dealership to be friendly, interested in listening and answering questions, and very efficient in handling and completing all the paperwork. This car-buying experience was very smooth and actually pleasant. Now that I own a Subaru, other Subaru owners tell me that "it's the best car!"

Arrogant sales manager and sales person. Both of whom refused to give us a price via email or phone even though we had taken the time to visit their showroom and drive one of their cars. We gave up on them and bought a new Outback from another dealer who was much more responsive to our email inquiries and pricing requests.

Purchasing a new car was never so seamless as at CitySide Subaru. They were so helpful, friendly, patient and knowledgeable--a very personal customer service approach. None of the usual high-pressure sales. Refreshing! Instead, they really listened to what I was looking for in a car and helped me discern the best choice for me. They were honest about which models/options didn't suit my needs as well. I appreciated that. It is so rare to find that kind of integrity in a sales environment. I got an excellent price too! I know because I'd done my research. Once I settled in on what I wanted, they located the exact car in seconds. Even though it was in New Hampshire, they got it here in a day. They handled all the insurance and registry details. No muss, no fuss! They even removed the canoe racks off my old car for me before trade-in. They also took the time to give me a thorough orientation in my new car, including taking me out on a nearby hill to make sure I knew how to work the new emergency brake and anti-rollback features. Before I knew it, I was confidently driving away in my new car--with a huge smile on my face. Although I bought my last Subaru 11 years ago from a different dealership (with a very different sales experience), I have been getting my service done at CitySide Subaru since my move to the Belmont area 10 years ago. Based on my fantastic past experience with their service dept. (thanks, Joe, Mike, Brian and Brian!), I really feel like my new Subaru and I are in excellent hands. I would highly recommend CitySide Subaru with confidence, both for sales and service!!!

After a very horrible experience at Honda of Boston, we decided to start looking at different car makers and were already interested in Subaru as an alternative to Honda. We were greeted quickly and Mark, our salesman, went out of his way to help work with us. He asked questions to find our needs, got an idea of what we were looking for and what we wanted to spend and we were able to negotiate a deal for a new lease. The whole experience was very pleasant, quick and painless. We chose City Side Subaru because it was convenient location for us.

My wife and I recently purchased a 2010 Outback, and our experience at Cityside Subaru was wonderful. Mark Lidano was our salesperson, and it was a pleasure doing business with him. He is knowledgeable about all the models and was very patient as we test-drove a number of different models, sometimes more than once, before making our decision. We didn't feel pressured to decide quickly or purchase additional add-ons. The Mark and the team at Cityside made us feel like family throughout the process. We would recommend Cityside and Mark to anyone, and would definitely go back.The Campanella family.

Many salesmen are knowledgeable, helpful, tactful and friendly. Peter Rosenberg was all that, but even more, he showed a remarkable degree of insight about what my wife and I wanted--even when we ourselves weren't yet sure! As a result we bought an SUV that had more and different options than we'd had in mind, was a different color, and even had more dealer-based additions, yet we walked away 100% satisfied both with the vehicle and with the experience. We're still 100% satisfied, and we're glad that Peter helped us to figure out the perfect fit. I'd also like to note that Peter's colleagues were uniformly efficient and helpful.I'm in my early sixties, so I've bought my share of cars, from Dodge Darts to the Lexus LS400. Peter is easily the best salesman I've ever met, and I'd recommend CitySide Subaru to anybody.

I had not used City Side for previous service because I was using the dealership I bought my Subaru at. However, I had a relative emergency or at least what I thought was one and needed a dealership close by. I called on a Monday morning and they got me in the next day and provided a loaner car. The issue turned out be a bent exhaust manifold - simple to fix and no parts needed. Total bill was $25. What I was impressed with was their honesty - they could have made this a much more expensive trip. I'm done with the old dealership and officially switched to City Side for my future service needs.

Just bought a new 2010 Outback. Mark and Nathan were both great to deal with. We were very picky in terms of the color and options and couldn't find our car in stock anywhere. Nathan agreed to a great price and told us there was a matching model on an inbound shipment and we could expect our car in about 4-6 weeks. The next day I spoke to Nathan and he told me they had located a car for us and were working on a swap, but, not to get my hopes up yet. The day after, Mark called and told us the car was on its way and we could come down to take a look at it. Drove it home the next day, weeks sooner than we had expected!All the way through the process, when dealing with Mark and Nathan, we were kept well informed and felt like everything was above board and very laid back. I would definately recommend buying from Cityside and working with Mark and Nathan.

Mark Lidano was terrific to work with from start to finish. My first visit to Cityside was strictly fact-finding, and I never felt even the tiniest bit of pressure to do anything more than just ask questions, all of which Mark answered in as much detail as I wanted/needed. I mean, he was obviously trying to sell me a car, but he wasnt trying to SELL ME A CAR!! I could tell from the beginning that he was really listening to me, and that he really wanted to help me find the best car for me and the two Golden Retrievers I chauffeur around. The first car I looked at was an ex-loaner from the Service Department, perfect in almost every way except for the color. I just hated the thought of two Goldens shedding all over that beautiful black interior. I dont know exactly what magic act he worked out, but Mark managed to spring another loaner from the Service Dept. in a color and model that were perfect for me, and now my pups are happily messing up the Golden-colored interior of my new Outback. Lots of other people have mentioned Marks All Star Test Drive Route, so I wont go into any detail on that, other than to say that it includes just about every situation and surface youre likely to run into. And Mark, I think youll be pleased to know that Ive gotten a lot gutsier about gunning it when I go into those hairpin exits off Route 2. Bottom line ... I absolutely love my (almost) new Subaru, and Im looking forward to lots and lots of great years with the car and with Cityside.

Mark Lidano and his team at Cityside Subaru in Belmont, MA, extended every effort to reflect every one of our concerns in setting out our options in regard to both new car features and pricing factors. We especially appreciated the honesty shown in recommending features that are worth the added cost and discouraging options that are not worth the added cost. Cityside researched car availability in the entire New England market to ensure that we had the broadest possible range of cars to select from among those that met our core criteria. If you are seriously considering a Subaru purchase, I would strongly encourage you to give Cityside a chance to win your business.

My wife Gladys and I were looking for a BASIC new Forester as already was pretty much decided upon. Still we wanted to know what we might regret not having if we did not inquire further. Glen took us through the various levels of models to our satisfaction and was not at all pushy about add on possibilities before we left the dealership and gave us a reasonable price with our trade in Forester. After a visit to a competitor dealer we were confident that Cityside had more to offer at a fair deal. A call back to Glen (day off) got us to Mark who was very accomodating to a final price for what we wanted. The transfer of funds for car went smoothly under Mark's assistance. No regrets.

Mark Lidano was suggest by a next door neighbor after a conversation at our block party. I contacted Mark right away and he was on the lookout for us for a 2010 black impreza sport automatic and the moment it come in he called my mobile. My wife and I took the car for a test ride that evening and made the deal (with a trade in). Mark took us on a well planned test drive, highway, hills, parking lot(turn ratio test),places to switch drivers, etc. Mark style is no sales BS or undue pressure. We were satisfied with the trade in process we negotiated and the delivery (that Monday) was smooth. The reason I rated the the customer service and overall experience good and not greatis that CitySide's promoted interest rate for auto loan is 3.9% and my wife's credit is excellent and mine is very very good. Alan their business manager ran the application late, not on Friday but Monday mid-day and it came in at 4.9% and we were notified of this last minute, with no time to get other options. We were disappointed. We needed the car and I am aware part is of the credit score out of their hands but the delay in running the application did not work in our favor. CitySide should not get people's hopes up, then delay running the application until last minute, could be perceived as a sales move, next time they should not wait 48-72 hours to run the credit app so we all know the reality. We chose to not delay the process regardless.This loan process is not a reflection on Mark's sales skills but more on the credit/business process at the dealership.Mark followed up with a hand written note and a friendly call. Also sent a $50 check out to the neighbor who referred us. I highly recommend Mark at CitySide Subaru in Belmont, MA

While I haven't bought a car yet from this dealership, I've been taking my car for service ever since I've owned it, as did the previous owner. I've never had trouble getting an appointment, service has always been timely, and if it takes a few days they offer a loaner. I always get a call from someone in the dept. to explain exactly what they did (I'm not a car person, and they really help me understand everything!) and they never automatically fix something without notifying me, and weighing the pros and cons. I've had mechanics in the past tell me something was absolutely necessary to fix, charge me a ton for it, and then I find out later that I didn't have to fix it, or it could have been done in a different way to save me money. These guys NEVER do that. They don't try and tell you to fix something that's not really broken, and they always discuss all of my options with me. I completely trust them to keep my car safe and functional, and to give me a fair price for it. I don't go anywhere else, not even for oil changes! When I decide to purchase another car, this is the dealership that I will go to.

We originally went to the dealership hoping we'd see a car we'd found on-line, but alas, it was sold. We asked to see something similar, and Mark showed us a nice used Forester. We took it on a test drive, and, as other people have said on this site, he does have an excellent route that shows off every feature of the car. When we went back to the dealership, we asked if we could take it to a mechanic. No problem, they said. The mechanic found a couple of things, such as the need for rear tires (the wear was very uneven, considering it's an AWD), and it was one of the things we'd asked about while we were testing it. There was also a mystery thump in the car, and we had to negotiate price and some maintenance, but the negotiations were short and amicable, and the car was ready (with the mystery thump resolved!) exactly when we wanted it. One other little thing was that my credit union told me to get certain paperwork while I was there, and in the end, we had to call from the c. u. office to have it done, instead of it being handed to us when we asked, but we did get it that day, and we got our car when we wanted, and Mark made a follow up call a few days later to make sure that we were enjoying the car, which showed us that we weren't forgotten about the minute we drove off the lot.

Salesman was meticulous about every detail, to make sure i was in the zone. The salesman didn't play "sales" talk, just was my advocate. didn't try to distract me or bs or obfuscate issues...was upfront. i gotta say, i would receommend the salesman again and again, and i am a salesman. the funny thing, although i didn't care where i bot it, the dealer is like less than 4 miles from my home! when i came to pick up the car, everything was made easy for me. the thing is this, i never met the salesman before, but it felt like we had been doing business for years.

Mark talked with me like I was a friend or relative - not as someone trying to make a sale, and I very much appreciated his low-key, no-pressure approach. Spending large amounts of money usually gets me pretty rattled, but this experience was smooth and easy - even the paperwork. His test-drive route included every kind of situation and he pointed out specific features and capabilities of the vehicle throughout the drive. I also liked being introduced to the Service Writers and the Parts Department. I've been looking for this car for a long time and I couldn't be more pleased with the entire purchasing experience. I would - and will - highly recommend Mark and Cityside. Thanks very much, Mark.(You make a good cup of coffee, too)

Major repairs were needed on my 2001 Forester with 120,000 miles. Joe Cisek, the service manager, was able to very clearly explain what needed to be done and worked with me to keep the cost as low as possible while still performing the needed repairs. Because of this, the final cost was less than the estimate, a rare event in the world of car repair. Cityside also helped me secure some extended warranty support from Subaru of America and stood behind their own warranty on some prior service work that needed to be redone.

We bought a new 2003 Subaru Forester from CitySide and have used them exclusively for service of our car over the last 6 years. We had very few problems, until this year (2009) when we were told after 32,000 miles, that we needed a new transmission. The owner of the dealership agreed to take half the cost of the transmission off the bill, after we requested twice that we did not feel we should have to pay for what apparently was a defective transmission. The service manager, Joseph, was very helpful in negotiating this agreement for us, and the car seems to be running in excellent order now. Unfortunately, I do not know if I would ever choose to buy another Subaru. Everyone I have spoken with tells me there is no reason why a transmission should need to be replaced after only 32,000 miles. I'm sorry that Subaru was not able to stand behind its vehicle well enough to satisfy us. Before this happened, I was a staunch advocate of Subaru vehicles.

I had a bald tire and failed my inspection sticker - so I went to a Midas just to get a new tire - they told me that I needed to buy 4 new tires so they would be even. I went to Midas because I was leaving for vacation the following day - so I need to get the tire fixed asap. I called Subuaru in Belmont- they didn't have an open appointment but they squeezed me in. They said all I needed was a new tire - bought one tire - instead of 4 - saved me $500 - I was on my way to the beach the following day!

I met Mark on my first visit and he was friendly, helpful and best of all let me work at my own pace. He showed me a few cars and explained the various features. We originally drove one car and then left without the usual "what's it going to take to make a deal today". A few weeks passed in our busy schedule and Mark called to check in and let us know he'd be on vacation and updated us on the latest rebates. We looked around and more models, manufacturers and even stopped in at another dealer. I remembered Mark and before making any deals, I decided to go back and see if Mark could offer me the best fair deal to all. I rated the price good, because to me great means, his family went hungry that night. If you are looking for a great dealer to start a relationship with, as well as get a great car, I'd say call Mark at Cityside. Leave the mega dealers to fight amongst themselves! This is my first Subaru and I'm already looking forward to my next.

I had the best experience at CitySide Subaru. I have been to other dealerships and was pressured and harassed, but not at CitySide! Don was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was patient and worked with me to solidify a fantastic deal. Don made it very easy to schedule a test drive and follow-up appointment. He was knowledgeable when it came to the different models and was able to thoroughly answer all of my questions. He spent a lot of time with me to show me all the ins and outs of the car when I went to pick it up. Throughout the whole process, I did not feel I had to worry about anything because I knew Don would take care of it. I highly recommend CitySide to anyone! I love my new car and have never been happier about a purchase!

Mark took me on the best test ride I've ever had. He has put together a route which demonstrates all of the features of the car and he doesn't rush you through it. When I came back with my wife to show her the car, he let us take it for a second test ride. Everyone there was knowledgeable and courteous.I gave them a 4 rating on quality of work, because of the tire pressures on the new car. All of the tires were within 5 psi of where they should have been, but none of them matched what it said on the sticker stuck to the door sill. On the front there was a 4 psi difference left to right and the average pressure in the rear was higher than in the front. This was probably as good a performance as I've ever had on a new car but I feel I need to mention it because it's easy to fix, (took me 15 minutes), and it's critical to the performance of the car.Aside from the tire pressures, the car was prepared perfectly.

We had a wonderful experience at Cityside Subaru and highly recommend it anyone looking for a new car who doesn't want to play games, deal with aggressive or lying salespeople or bait and switch. We looked at a Saturn, Ford, Nissan, and Toyota, but settled on a Subaru after talking to friends and reading consumer reports. We had such bad experiences at other dealers - from folks who wouldn't stop calling to folks who would never call us back - it was a breath of fresh air to work with a dealership that was courteous and responsive. Everyone at the dealership from the sales manager to the sales people to the guy who answers the phone is really nice. Mark was the best salesperson we worked with - he answered our question, put up with my husband's bad sense of humor and was totally up front. The negotiation process was over in less than 30 minutes. We are loyal Cityside customers from now on and will definitely go back to them in the future.

I've had a fairly long (6yr) service relationship with Cityside and my experience has always been very good and. They got the work done on-time, completely, and without pushing additional services that may not really have been necessary. In addition they always dealt with me courteously and didn't hesitate to take time to explain problems and solutions. I should say that the Subaru involved here really didn't give me any significant problems over the 10 yrs I had it.When I decided to part with my old car and upgrade to a new Outback the experience I had with service continued into the showroom. My salesman, Mark Lidano, was very informative and took me on the best test drive I've experienced. He actually suggested several maneuvers for me to check the handling and frequently asked what I thought of it. We drove the car long enough and in enough different situations so that I could get a good sense of how the car handled. He thoroughly explained all the particulars of the car. When it came time to negotiate a price, Mark was very fair and reasonable, and I eventually drove away in my new Outback as a satisfied buyer.Now I'm looking forward to continuing my good service experience at Cityside once again.

My 2009 Forester is the second Subaru I have owned. I purchased my first one at Cityside Subaru 10 years ago and always had it serviced there. When it was time to get a new car, I never looked anywhere else. My Outback Station Wagon had been wonderful, especially in the ice and snow, and the service department was great. I only had to decide between the Outback Station Wagon and the Forester. Mark Lidano was very helpful and patient in solving this nonproblem. He was very knowledgeable about both cars and very thorough about test drives. The whole experience was a pleasure. I've had my new car for a week, and I'm very happy with it - great huge sunroof! Thank you Cityside Subaru!

When I visit City Side was trying to decide between 3 different small SUVs. I had test driven a Forrester before but the drive I took with Mark was by far the most informative and beneficial test drive I had ever been on. Mark highlighted the features of the Forrester well asking me to take a sharp turn at 30-40 mph so I could feel the lack of body roll, taking me on bumpy roads so I could fell the suspension and asking me to drive on the highway to see how the SUV accelerated/responded. Mark answered all my (and my husbands) questions; asked questions of his own and offered thoughtful points to consider. Mark was genuine, honest and extremely helpful. Marks supervisor told me a dealers job was not to sell cars but to educate people on the cars they were thinking about buying; I can attest that Mark abided by this motto. I came back the next week to buy the Forrester and the buying process was smooth and easy. The only issue I encountered was when the horizontal cross bars were being installed, grease got on the interior roof of the car. I pointed this out and they cleaned it up right away. I would recommend this dealer and I would go back to Mark to buy another car.

Mark Lidano was extremely helpful and caring when I picked out my vehicle. Excellent customer service on his part. He even went the extra mile to make me an extra key and fix a minor electrical issue. When I went to sign the paper work I was harassed by the finance person multiple times to buy an extended warranty. I was offended mostly because she wasted my time and repeatedly gave me a hard sell after I firmly told her I wasn't interested. The price of my vehicle was fair, even though they increased the price by $500 over the phone after a verbal agreement in the showroom.

I purchased my first new car from this dealership. It is a 2009 Subaru Forester. Mark, the sales rep I worked with, was very knowledgeable and took me on a very thorough test drive (of both the Forester and the Outback, which I was also interested). In general, the staff are very friendly and the dealership is very clean and professional. As I just bought my car, I have not had any interaction with the service or parts department. I would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone interested in a Subaru.

I initially went to Cityside to get some information and a test drive (after doing lots of online research). Mark Lidano was very helpful -- asked about what I needed and did not need, what I had been driving in the past, and what I was looking for in a Subaru. He took me for a test drive on a route that would show many aspects of the Outback I was trying out, and did not push me to buy more than what I really needed. When I decided to go ahead with my purchase, it was a very low-stress experience, and I got the specific car I was looking for in a few days.

This dealership is the best I have worked with in the 34 years I have owned automobiles. Everyone at the dealership treats Customers with respect. They take the time that you need with you. They made very good recommendations. Their reputation from other local Customers is excellent (that's why we went there). There was no comparison with the two other Subaru dealers I worked with before buying a Forester from CitySide. I normally do not buy a maintenance or extended warranty contract. However I believe I will get excellent value from those with CitySide.Our salesman, Glen Dalton, was excellent. He was particularly good with all memebers of our family (who all participate in the buying decision). I highly recommend this dealership.

Mark is a very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly sales person. Best of all he is not pushy in any way. He gave me an excellent test drive in a WRX and helped me to settle on an Outback, which was an excellent choice. When it came time to settle on a price he beat other area dealers. Combine this with the excellent service I have been getting from CitySide during the past 5 years on my WRX and you have my choice for the top Subaru dealer in the Boston area. I also give Service Manager Joe Cisac top ratings.

When we were shopping for a new car, Mark gave us good information and didn't pressure us to make a decision. We needed a few weeks to decide, but he let us take the time we needed. He also let us take lengthy test drives on our own -- this definitely sets CitySide Subaru apart from other dealers.

I never thought I would have a service relationship with a car dealer, but I'm very happy with the one I have with Cityside Subaru. I find the service people very, very helpful, clear, informative and cooperative. They educate me, but never talk down to me. They take really good care of my car so that it works well, and it's safe. I know that sometimes people don't want to get car service from a dealer because it's perceived as more expensive, but I have not found that to be the case, and I am much happier knowing that the repair is done properly. I certainly recommend them.

Cityside Subaru is an excellent dealer, unlike any I have worked with so far.They are friendly, efficient, and go out of their way to provide exceptional service--be it in an emergency, providing loaner cars, or going above and beyond to address concerns. I bought my used (1-year) Subaru there. Mark Lidano spent over 4 hours with me, never rushing me, and offering multiple options for test-drive as well as purchase. They provided me with a great deal for trade-in and customized the vehicle futher. Since my purchase, they are exceedingly responsive to any issue I encounter. This past weekend, a holiday weekend, they immediately fit me in for emergency service with a last-minute loaner and fixed my car the same day. The staff is wonderful and I recommend them highly.

No one bugged or harassed me at all..I walked in to set up a testdrive of a particular car and when I showed up a bit later, it was ready to drive as promised.I rode with Don the sales associate & he was great!! When I expressed interest in bringing my wife back to see the car, the were willing to allow me to take it home to show HER instead!No deposit needed to hold it, Nate did all my paperwork in a timely fashion, Smooth & easy transaction all around!!I'm now a Subie owner for life & won't deal with any other dealership other than Cityside from now on!

When my wife and I decided to buy a new car, a co-worker recommended we visit Cityside Subaru. After visiting a couple other dealerships (non-subaru), we realized that most sales people only cared about selling us their car. We ended up at Cityside and were greeted by Mark Lidano. Mark is very much a people person, and very easy to work with. Subaru quickly became our #1 choice, and we decided on the 2008 Impreza. Mark provided no-pressure information that made our choice easy. Since our purchase, everyone at the dealership has been very friendly. I feel like we are part of the Cityside Subaru family. The service department has also been a stress-free environment as well! If you are looking for a Subaru, and would like a no-hassle car buying experience, I would highly recommend Cityside Subaru to anyone looking for a reliable, affordable car that is also great in the snow.

My first car purchase in many years and it was a completely positive experience. Mark is a people person and listens and provides informative, non-hyperbolic answers. Clearly he's there to sell cars but it's all very low key and I felt that I could comfortably walk away at any time. After I made the committment to purchase, Mark supported me through the rest of the process (this is usually where sales drops you) and was the one to hand the car over to me. He's connected me with service but I know I can still call him with questions. Like I said: a people person! I highly recommend Mark and CitySide.

The folks at CitySide went to great lengths to make me comfortable and give me an enjoyable and satisfying experience in buying a new car. I got a pretty good deal on exactly the car I wanted, and even got a lower interest rate on my loan after Nathan spoke to Subaru finance on my behalf. Everyone was organized and friendly, and they seem to be genuinely interested in delivering the best experience they can. Now I'm driving a brand new 2009 Legacy (which I am loving), and I will definitely go back there for some service and/or parts in the future.

My experience at Cityside Subaru has been excellent. I went in feeling uncertain and uneasy about dealing with any car salesmen. Mark Lidano came over and we began talking. He was a real joy to deal with. He answered every question and request immediately. I never felt pressured, which was an enormous relief. He was very helpful in expediting the purchase of my new 2009 red Forester, which I love. He has been attentive since the purchase and has had great follow-through when I had questions. I would highly recommend him as a salesman. My only #4 rating for price has more to do with me and my own inability to sort out various pricing options and information. I truly do not know if I received the best price available because I am not very sophisticated in navigating all the information available through the internet and different dealers. But, I have nothing but good things to say about my interactions with Mark, with Laurie Gorlick and my one phone conversation setting up a service appointment.

My experience at Cityside with Mark Lidano was far better than the other dealership. Mark really took the time to show me the car, go on a thorough test drive even though I showed up 20 minutes before closing time. He was excellent, and that's why I went with Cityside. I recommended Mark to a friend who is in the market for a new Subaru Outback. Brigitte Blas

I am owner of 2002 Subaru Impreza that I bought new many years ago from Cityside Subaru. I have been consistently impressed with the service at the Cityside Subaru over the years. They offer practical advice, do not haggle about warranty coverage, and do not push service that you do not need. More importantly they stand behind their brand and their work. I recently has a costly engine problem with my car and eventhough it was out of warranty and they had no obligation to help me, they fixed the issue at no cost. There are very few dealers who will show this type of commitment to their cars.

I can't say enough about Cityside Subaru. It started when I walked through the door when I was met by a pleasant gentlemen who welcomed me to Cityside to the beautiful building and very professional staff. I had all my questions answered. The test drive was informative and very good explaining the vehicle when I was driving etc. Mark Lidano did a great job showing me the features and good things about the SUV. I couldnt have been happier when I decided to purchase a 2009 Forester Limited vehicle. When you buy a vehicle it doesnt stop there and the relationship will hopefully continue through my experience with service and how I am treated there. I was brought down and showed the service area and met the Service Manager and other staff that I would be dealing with after the purchase. Ease of convenience getting there is good where it's right off route 60 in Belmont. My financing and warranty questions were answered by Laurie a very professional account executive who showed me my options and extended warranty decisions and voted on going the "full monty" with my maintenance and extended service coverage for seven years which gives my wife peace of mind and confidence that I am covered. I am happy because my wife is happy and thats a good thing overall. Driving in style in my new Subaru !!!!!!!

I went to CitySide early one Sunday afternoon to check out a 2009 Forester. The first thing that struck me was the great location on Pleasant Street in Belmont - convenient but not on a busy, traffic-clogged highway like Route 1. Their new headquarters is more spacious than the old Arlington site, which I'd visited when my girlfriend owned a Legacy wagon some years ago. The moment I walked in, a friendly young salesman, Don Ratcliffe, greeted me, and I could tell at once that he was knowledgable, easy-going, and not interested in the hard sell. My sense was that his main concern was hooking me up with the car that best met my needs. I told him I'd come for a test drive, and we were out on the road within 5 minutes, tooling down Pleasant St and out onto the highway in exactly the Forester model that I wanted to try, the 2.5X Limited. He knew the answer to every question I had, except for one, and he didn't hesitate to admit it nor try to pretend. When it came time to hammer out the details, Don and his manager were extremely fair, and I feel like I got an amazing amount of car for the money. I had an engagement that afternoon and thus had to return the next day to complete the paperwork, but nobody hassled or pressured me. The next day, the business manager, Laurie Gorlick, couldn't have been nicer or more constructive in helping me get the terms I needed to make the deal work. CitySide turned the prep around very quickly, and Don was only too happy to come over to my workplace in Arlington the next morning to pick me up and bring me over to take possession of the car.I've been driving since 1971 and have owned or leased a total of 11 different cars in 38 years, and the number of cars I've tried out includes dozens more. In all the time I've spent in showrooms, on test drives, or in the offices of business managers, I've never felt so well taken care of, and never gotten such a good deal. One more thing: the 2009 Forester 2.5X Limited is an unbelievably great vehicle...about $10,000 less than the Ford Escape Hybrid 4x4 I almost got, but comparable mileage and a far superior drive. Subaru's current designers are among the most sophisticated in the industry, and the new Forester is as sleek as it is practical.

Having never purchased a new car, I had no idea what to expect. As soon as Mark introduced himself, I instantly felt comfortable, like I was going to be treated seriously instead of like a little girl shopping for a car with mommy. Mark has a great ability to read people and knew exactly how to get along with us. We had lots of questions and Mark took every question seriously, even our "silly girl questions" like which side the gas cap is on. Mark has an incredible talent for making people feel comfortable and not at all pressured. He was able to help me be optimistic as well as realistic about price, and it was very clear that he knew this car would be MY purchase. He was the reason we came back to Cityside Subaru after looking at several other dealers and meeting with several other salesmen. I could have bought my car from any other subaru dealer, but I wanted to buy my car from Mark. He really made my first car purchase so enjoyable and easy, I would return to him for any future car purchase in a heartbeat! -"Lola"

Looking for a new car has never been an experience I have enjoyed until our visit to Cityside. We walked in apprehensive and walked out feeling like we had just spent the evening with friends, and I got a new car in the deal. The staff, especially our salesman Mark, were the best we have ever encountered. Trust me when I tell you that my husband is not an easy sell. But Mark won him over with his knowledge of the vehicle, his experience in sales, his belief in his product, and of course, the bottom line ---- the price. Thank you Mark for everything.....I am thrilled with my new Forester, and we will be back --- as will any friends who are in the market since I'll be sending them to Cityside to see you!

Customer service was excellent. Both Mr. Lidano and the woman I worked with in Finance were extremely knowledgeable and helpful to my needs and any questions that I had about the car, financing, and the warranty.The quality of work was sufficient and fast. Mark had me on the road in 2 days with everything done. My schedule is quite busy so to have the help meant so much. I had received a phone call from mark the other day to check on the status os the car and myself.Friendliness was spectacular I was offered coffee before we sat to start the process of things and was sent home with some recycling bags that have City side Subaru on them. I had felt no pressure what so ever which was the most important thing for me. if I feel that someone is pressuring me or talking me into something I am not sure about i turn away. Her I felt welcomed and no sense of pressureThey only thing overall I would have to say that would be negative is when I first arrived there it took some time for anyone to acknowledge me. I poked around outside for about 10-15 minutes and then inside for about 5 and finally mark had seen me and came up to me right away.The Price was fair.

However, after a pothole accident that ruined two tires Friday I was amazed to find that in response to my late afternoon phone call the service department was not only waiting for me, but, taking my car in overnight, lent me a substitute car for 24 hours at no charge.

Upon entering the dealership Glenn immediately approached me but not in a "hard sell" fashion. He was helpful, friendly, and accommodating. He was committed to working with me at my own pace. He followed up after my initial visit, was very responsive to email and telephone calls. He gave me his cell number and answered all questions I had. Even after I purchased the vehicle hes followed up on multiple occasions to ensure I was happy with my purchase. This attention to customer service is quite refreshing. Glens focus was on service not the sale. There is a difference. The outcome is the same but the customer experience is entirely different. Thanks for the great service, Glen.

I purchased a used car. The salesperson, Don Ratcliffe, was knowledgeable and very helpful. He was willing to spend time with me reviewing what I was looking for and identifying cars that matched my interests. The dealership seems to encourage a more relaxed sales environment and I would work with him again. The sales mgr was also helpful. Overall, my experience was very good.

A very friendly, straightforward neighborhood dealership. Not a glossy or fancy looking place, but sales people are knowledgeable and not high pressured. They answered all questions and let us road test several models for comparative purposes. Excellent lease arrangement.

I coudn't be more pleased with my whole experience at Cityside Subaru in purchasing my 2005 Subaru Impreza. This was the first car I've ever purchased and Mark Lidano was very thorough in walking me (us, my parents came along) throught the whole process. I never felt pressured, but I always felt informed. My father commented that Mark took us through the best test drive he had ever seen. I can assure you that if my parents were in the market for a new car, CitySide Subaru would be at the top of their list.

We e-mailed a few local dealers for a price on a new Legacy Sedan.CityCides Subaru gave me the best price. We came in on a busy Sunday and the salesman that had contacted us was out. Mark was introduced to us and represented the sale. We took the car on a test drive and set down for a few minutes to discuss the sale details. Since we had an internet quote the price was set and the sale quickly completed.

This was our first experience buying/leasing a new car. We'd done some research and narrowed our options to two makes of car. Having had a less than satisfying experience with another, very aggressive dealer, we were cautious when we came to CitySide. From the moment we walked in, we knew this dealership was differnt: beginning with all our questions and information gathering, test drive, decision-making on whether to buy or lease, to working out a price we were happy with and signing the papers, the process was flawless. Our salesman, Don, and the other members of the team were informative, patient, helpful, and friendly. Everything moved at a comfortable pace, and we never felt rushed or pushed. This was an excellent experience, we love our Impreza, and will most likely return at the end of our lease for another Subaru from CitySide. We highly recommend CitySide Subaru. Thanks, Wendy & Jim

Lucas was great to work with as we finalized upon our purchase decision. He did not pressure us and was very responsive to our requests. I will definitely recommend him to our friends who are interested in buying a Subaru. I would definitely call ahead to schedule an appointment with him so that you don't get stuck dealing with some other sales representatives there who fit more into the traditional car salesperson mold.

As a first time car buyers we apprehensive about going to dealerships because of their reputation for being pushy. We did encounter this at other places, but not at CitySide Subaru. At our first visit, Luke showed us everything about the new forester and answered any questions we had. The test drive was informative yet very laid back. From there on, Luke worked with us to make sure we got everything we wanted at a price we were happy with (and no hidden fees- he told us about everything up front). From there everything moved pretty quickly, they take care of it all! Luke even came to pick us up in Boston to go pick up our car- I think that is above and beyond. Before we drove off, he explained everything about the car, the paper work, roadside assistance, etc...All in all, it was a great experience! I will definitely be recommending CitySide to all my friends.

Mark was very helpful with picking out a car that fits my needs. There were no pushy sales and I was able to make my decision comfortably. I felt that he was doing his best to offer me a car that matches me by listening to me carefully and making suggestions from wide variety of choices. This also was done in a very short time in an efficient way.

After owning a BMW and LandRover, I was in the market for a more fuel efficient car which was completely dependable, less expensive to maintain and, living in Boston, all wheel drive. The 2009 Forester was the obvious choice. As a physician, I am extremely busy so I did almost all of my negotiations via internet and phone with literally 7 Subaru dealerships around Boston. After multiple communications with all 7 dealers, I chose to visit Cityside in person first because Lucas came across to me as the most upfront and respectable of all the dealers. You never know what you are going to get in person and I was ready to be on the defensive as most people are walking into a car dealership but it was honestly the easiest transaction I have ever had buying a new car. This dealership was completely reasonable with negotiations involving my trade-in and they were completely true to their word with respect to the quotes given to me on-line, ie no "bate and switch" tactics. We walked in and purchased the car in less an half and hour. But the story doesn't end there....I went to pick the new car up 2 days later. As soon as I drove it off the lot, the "AT Oil Temp" warning light went off on the dashboard. I drove right back to the dealership where Nate and Lucas took it right down to the shop. To make a long story short, without any fuss at all, they switched that car, including all the paperwork ie registration,title,etc, for a brand new car. As most people know, although this is the right and respectable thing to do, most dealerships would NOT do this without a prolonged fight. All they kept saying was "We just want you to be happy". I have already recommended this dealership to several friends. They have earned a very happy long-term customer!!!!

After an accident, I was in need of a new vehicle. I chose to go to Cityside Subaru because they are located close to my home. I was very pleased with the overall experience that I had when purchasing our Subaru. Mark was very helpful and patiently explained all of our options to us (new vs. used; age of pre-owned vehicle; accessory packages). We never felt pressured - unlike a previous experience at another Subaru dealership. Even when we were negotiating a price, Mark was very honest and straightforward with us. We made it very clear what we wanted to pay for a vehicle and he made it work for us. He found us a vehicle that was in our price range and had the mileage and options that we wanted. I also had pleasant experiences with all of the other employees that I encountered in my visits to the dealership. I cannot recommend them more highly.

Buying a car at Cityside Subaru of Belmont, MA was an excellent experience and I highly recommend this dealership to anyone considering a Subaru. From the first visit to browse the selection of Foresters to the final visit to drive away in our new car, the atmosphere and staff were friendly and helpful, the usually complicated process of purchasing a new vehicle was made simple and easy to navigate and above all the new Subaru we bought, a 2009 Forester, is a great addition and we look forward to driving this car for many years to come.Our salesman, Mark Lidano, was a pleasure to work with. He never pressured us into any agreement but rather walked us through the process and explained every step as we bought the car. After the purchase was complete and we were about to drive our new Forester home, Mark explained all the components of the vehicle and made sure we were comfortable with it. He assured us the entire Cityside staff would be available should we have any questions or concerns once we brought the Forester home. We even received a follow-up phone the next day from Mark because he wanted to check in on how the car was running.In conclusion, we highly recommend Cityside Subaru of Belmont, MA for the purchase of your next vehicle; ask for Mark Lidano, he's the best.

Mark Lidano of Cityside Subaru in Belmont, MA was fabulous. I hate buying a car due to the all the games, "deals" and general negotiations that go along with the process. As well as hidden costs and the fact that you need to get something in writing and if someone else gives you a better price please come back and give us another chance. Mark at Cityside was straight forward, professional and gave us his best price first time with no head games. Wow, what a nice change from the other 20 dealerships I have dealt with over the past months. Obviously we made a purchase and are still very pleased with the price and experience.Cheers!Douglas Goff

After some homework on the Internet and visiting other dealerships, my son and I went to Cityside in response to our email. Lucas was professional, efficient and willing to seal a deal without the pressure usually felt elsewhere. It made the closing surprisingly pleasant and fast. I drove away in my new Impreza the next day ready for the next snow storm to hit the New England area. I was part of the Subaru family and did not need to fear the impact of the weather on driving conditions. What a new perspective! WOW!!!

Mark Lidano, our salesman, was extremely helpful. He explained different aspects of the car to us, answered our questions, and followed up.

Mark is an honest guy who has continued to grow the relationship. Whether it is checking in periodically to see how things are going or just being available when I or my wife have a question, Mark continues to be there.

I had a fantastic experience with Cityside Subaru when leasing my Impreza last month. So much so that I brought my sister in - and she picked up her new car today!I was researching a few different makes and models on Edmunds.com and contacted a number of dealers to find a monthly lease in my price range. Many of these dealers responded with a hard sell - which doesn't work for me at all. So, I was pleasantly surprised when not only did Lucas work to meet my budget, but he did it without pressuring me. Lucas is knowledgeable, efficient and friendly -and he provided me with a vehicle that exceeded my expectations for features.Everyone I met at Cityside Subaru was friendly, courteous and helpful, including Laurie Gorlick (Finance Manager) and Dan Rosengarten (Sales Manager.

I've been to four Subaru service departments, CitySide, Wakefield, Wilmington (out of business), and IRA (avoid, Caveat emptor). The reason why Joe, Mike & Brian are top shelf is simple, they set reasonable expectations and they meet them. The team of technicians at CitySide fix the car the first time. Also, CitySide uses original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. IRA Subaru did NOT, but I caught then replaced remanufactured parts with new OEM.

The entire experience was positive. I had purchased a car from this dealership before and been happy with the vehicle, the service, and the staff. Mr. Lidano was helpful without being directive. He has checked in with me several times since my purchase to see if I was satisfied with everything. Concerning the price, I think it was what i would have paid anywhere else, "standard" so to speak. No hidden add-ons!

My husband and I recently purchased our first new car together from Mark at Cityside Subaru in Belmont. This was the second dealership we went to test drive the 2009 Forester. We were trying to decide between the Legacy and the Forester. Mark was more than helpful; he took us out for a 15-20min test drive in each vehicle and really encouraged us to push the vehicles to get a good feel for them. After the test drives we were still unsure about which one we wanted, but we were sure we wanted a Subaru. After we weighed our choices we decided to get the roomer forester. We then shopped around for prices at almost a dozen dealerships. We even visited a couple that gave us really really low quotes, but left because they were not being honest and straight with us. These other dealerships made us anxious and pressured us into making a purchase right there on the spot. They even chased us out to our car and still tried to push the sale when we told them we needed more time to think it over. We decided to go back to Cityside and visit Mark. He explained everything along the way, even printing out what we were discussing and explaining the cost of every item. He was upfront and honest every step of the way. He never pressured us and at times even suggested we take extra time to think things over. It was truly unbelievable how different this dealership was compared to the others. We feel really confident about our purchase, the price and the product, and know Mark will be there if we have any problems. I would whole heartedly recommend Mark and Cityside to anyone who is interested in a Subaru. It's a great dealership for the whole family (even dogs)!

I originally chose to go to Cityside Subaru becasue of its already excellent Dealerrater rating, combined with the fact that it was relatively close to my house. I made similar trips to Toyota & Honda dealers further away from where I live. Cityside Subaru by far exceeded my expectations for low-pressure--though attentive--sales, and subsequently an exceptionally easy transaction when I was ready to buy my Legacy some weeks later. Both the Honda & Toyota dealerships I visited, though they claimed to be low/no pressure, were clearly more about "selling" me on the Camry or the Accord--even providing misinformation--as opposed to just giving me the facts and letting me make up my own mind. Lucas Casella is hands down the most easygoing, straightforward and hoenst car salesman I have ever encountered. Though I tend to keep my cars a long time (I bet you can guess one of the main reasons why), I would certainly recommend Cityside, and Lucas in particular, to anyone looking for a non-stressful car buying experience, and an excellent car to boot!

Buying a car at Cityside changed my perceptions of car dealers. I strongly believe that my salesperson helped me buy a car that was right for my needs and desires and not just to make a sale. I have recommended friends to shop at Cityside and ask for Mark. It seems like people like working at Cityside and like working with each other. This helped make the shopping experience, and maintenance experience, a good one. My main suggestion is for Suburu to focus on a low milage car.Thanks,Andrew Cornell

My overall experience at the Cityside Subaru was excellent. I got the information I needed and the help in deciding if and which model would best fit my needs and lifestyle. Mark and Glen were very personable yet professional in their demeanor. I never felt pressured to make a decision. There was no back and forth in the negotiation making the experience hassle-free and trusting - unusual for this type of business. I was always treated with respect and my questions were promptly answered whether in person, phone or email. Mark's service was of the highest quality and it made all the difference in my decision to buy a new 2009 Subaru Forester.

I guess I got a good price, I don't have anything to compare it to.

After 20 years of owning Volvos--and paying their very high service costs--I wanted to buy my first Subaru. We drive a lot in Maine so the AWD was essential. Went directly to Mark Lidano at Cityside and bought an Outback. Our experience with him was close to ideal: he was very patient with long road tests and multiple family members coming by to drive at different times. His description of the models and options was very clear and thorough. He was friendly and accessible at all times. Only negative experience came around the contract and the back-and-forth around the numbers, which was hard to follow and seemed to shift along the way, and I did feel pressured. In three months we've already put 7500 miles on the car and are finding it perfect for our needs.

I have owned Subarus, mostly used, since the early 70s and all bought in Maine.I serviced them myself and it all worked out pretty well. The 4 wheel drive, later AWD was vital a few times a year, and I like many northern New Englanders appreciated how well they ran on unplowed roads with a foot of wet snow. I have been dealing with Citiside since 1996 where I bought my first new car ever, a Legacy wagon, and had it serviced regularly. I admired the skill with which lurking troubles were diagnosed and repaired. After 133800 miles and an impending $1000 repair, I decided to buy a 2003 Legacy wagon that was on the lot. I may have paid more than Edmunds might advise, but having Citiside as a dealer makes it worthwhile and I plan to continue having it serviced regularly.I recommend Subaru and Citiside to friends whenever the subject of cars comes up. My experiences with them accounts for the above ratings.

This was a very positive experience as far as purchasing a car at a dealership goes. I had a couple of issues with the car I purchased, each of which were addressed without excuses or lame explanations. Had I shopped around I might have found a better price but the service and honesty was well worth the differential. I will be interested to see what my experience will be with future service on my car.

I am leasing a new car that I picked up through Cityside. I came in with a general idea of what I wanted and the salesperson Mark who assisted me was very attentive and helpful in the selection process. I was able to go on a fairly lengthy test drive that probably could have been extended even longer if I had wished. Plenty of time to see what the car could do. While I did some research into pricing ahead of time, I decided not to spend additional time shopping around based on the initial experience I had with Mark. My only issue came when we started to talk hard numbers. Some of the fees that seemed set in stone only a short time earlier appeared to be flexible once negotiation started. I wish I insisted on seeing the contract earlier in the process. I ended up a little confused on the breakdown of the final numbers as I didn't see the actual contract until after the negotiation. While I appeared to get more value for my trade, another fee was suddenly reduced to compensate. I love the new car and will most likely stay at Cityside for service as well.

I bought a new Outback from Cityside in February 2005. Was happy with the treatment by the sales and finance people; very low key and no pressure, such as if you buy this car now we can offer you these terms, but not if you come back tomorrow. Subsequent service visits for either routine service or warrenty work have all been without issue.
