Top tier customer service, came in on a Saturday, picked up my car on Wednesday. Overall smooth process, would highly recommend Sabrina and Infiniti of Nashua to family and friends
I love my ST all except for seating.
I love my ST all except for seating. I’m just not a fan of European style seating soo we had an upholstery shop up grade them. Sooo much fun to drive! Great gas mileage considering I’m a lead foot. And when needed you can put a full 4x8 sheet of plywood in the back.

I often drive to the Michigan upper pennisula in the winter. This SUV has never disappointed me. One time I was driving up to Sault Ste Marie early in the morning. The road was slippery with blowing snow. The outside air temp was MINUS 41. i was alone with hardly ever seeing another vehicle. I kept thinking "trust this vehicle" because my life literally depended on it. I had no problems. And everything was on high - the defroster, rear defrost, heated steering wheel, heated seat, radio and keeping my phone charger plugged in. And in case you wonder why I would venture out in these conditions - I was called for jury duty and made it on time !! It has also gotten me out of deep snow.

Went to the dealership multiple times the salesmen very helpful and put me in the the right truck and financial part was a pleasure with them
Explorer GREAT design!
The ford explorer is an outstanding suv. The new design in 2020 is stylish and the rear wheel drive/4 wheel drive option is state of the art. The ecoboost engines are economical and extremely powerful. Ford dealers are everywhere! Ford parts are common and easy to obtain! I looked at the competitors. Front wheel drive is not suitable for trucks in my opinion. The handling of a rear wheel drive vehicle is outstanding. I actually have a 2022 platinum with the 3.0 v6 and this 2021 base with the 2.3 4 cylinder. Happy with each!!!

love the Ride
First time Explorer owner, had an Expedition that I loved but it was too high for my wife, so it went to our son. The Explorer Limited is lower, but still higher than a crossover or sedan which helps my visability. Love the electronics but concerned that they will have problems later on so I purchased a dealer extended warranty (bumper to bumper) that is 10 years 125,000 additional miles for piece of mind. Car drives like a dream, is VERY comfortable, has more than enough power even with the 4cyl (used to V8's). Gas mileage even with 4WD is great (23 city and almost 29 highway) not climbing hills. We will see how it does when we go north.

This is the 3rd vehicle both new and used that I have purchased from Portsmouth Ford and the used car center. Each time it has been transparent, quick and fair. I will continue to tell my circle about this dealership and will always come back for the next one. Thanks Dave, you knocked it out of the park!

5-Star Experience at AutoFair Ford I want to give a
5-Star Experience at AutoFair Ford I want to give a huge thank-you to the entire sales team at AutoFair Ford for an absolutely amazing experience. From start to finish, everyone made me feel welcomed, supported, and genuinely valued. A very special thank-you to Steven, the sales manager, for treating me like a whole person—not just a sales number. He truly went above and beyond to make sure I left with a smile, and his kindness and attention made all the difference. Thank you also to Mahir in finance, who was so pleasant, funny, and easy to talk to that it felt like my husband and I had known him for years. He made the paperwork process effortless and enjoyable, which is something I never thought I’d say! And of course, thank you to Gaius, our salesman, for letting me use his special pen, I called it my lucky pen and used it to do all signing It brought such a personal and thoughtful touch to the experience. Overall, AutoFair Ford delivered exceptional service at every step. I’m truly grateful for the care and positivity the team brought to my car-buying journey. I love my new 2021 BMW!! Highly recommend!
