Used hatchbacks for sale near Manchester, CT

Let me start with this: I did not go into this VW before it was overtaken by the Gengras brand, so I cannot compare it to what it once was. However, what I can say is I walked in one day, thinking about buying a new vehicle, and the next week I had the Atlas of my dreams, all thanks to Tom, the GM, and Dom, the sales person. My girlfriend and I went in to get a bigger car as our family had grown, and the Atlas - with its safety ratings, gas mileage, size, and style - was 1 of 2 choices for us (the 2nd being a Telluride, but the service at our local Hyundai was TERRIBLE, and it turned out to be too small). We walked in on a Saturday hoping to test drive one and size it out for our dogs (when I said family, did you think I meant kids?). They were very short staffed - only 2 salespersons were on that day, when they usually have 4 or 5, but due to the recent buyout some of the people had left to other Crowley locations. We were assigned Dom, who was helping another customer, and we said it was fine and would wait. Tom, the GM, said no way and had us sit down and he went over everything about the Atlas - ratings, size, reviews, pricing, and options/packages. When Dom was ready for us, the Atlas we were to test drive was ready to be taken out on the road for both of us to drive around town and on the highway. It was love at first handle and honestly, thanks to our experience at this VW, we are never driving a different brand and will be buying my girlfriend her own VW next winter. I can agree that there are several pictures of the new owners around the building - but you know what? That's called branding, and if they are happy with how their smiles look, posters of themselves do not hurt customers and they show that they put their image on any action that occurs in the store, which is honestly comforting if you are worried about customer service. When you do go in - which you should - talk to the people helping you out just as much as they do with you. We learned that Tom and his wife are avid wild mushroom hunters (really cool stories!) and Dom is hilarious with "dad jokes" and puns for everything. As someone who has purchased a vehicle from this locations, I have not received one email in the last month from them so I do not know of any spam emails. But I also have gmail - and it sorts out spam for me - so maybe it's in there and I just use technology to the best of its abilities.

The car is a great balance between performance, economy, comfort, and versatility. It manages to do all of those things well, if not great. It won't win any races but it's fun to drive.

This is the first time I've written a review about a company regarding their service. I've decided to do this because of exceptional level of help and service I received at Gengras Volkswagen in Plainville CT from sales manages Tom Backer and salesman Brian Radicki. Both Tom and Brian were professional in every sense of the word. They tool the time to listen and understand my needs and the type of car I wanted. They were extremely patient and helpful. They went FAR above the norm in every war to find a car they worked for me and fit my needs. I am happy to recommend Tom, Brian and Gengras Volkswagen. You will find its a place wherfe you really do matter E

This car has more features that some I never used. The navigation system is defendant plus but the best feature is extremely low. My average cost is $20 per month.

We bought a used Mustang from Gengras. Our salesperson was Jake Secondo. He said he was 21 but seemed older with his knowledge and help. i wish more salespersons were like he is. he had car smarts, respect, great listening skills and just an all around nice person! See Jake for a great buyin experience!!

Easy on the pocket economics and reliable best car ever for my self will buy one again Mazda 3 skyactive 2013 is the only way.

Purchased a 2024 Camry SE from Jose. Experience was excellent and efficient. Jose is a genuine sales who focuses on the customers vision!

Leasing this car. Expected to wait a couple of months but received a notification that a car matching my specifications would be available the next week. The car met most of my requirements. The price of the lease was considerably more than I expected to pay but I agreed to the terms. Two months after taking possession of the vehicle, the brake actuator failed and I lost use of the vehicle for two weeks. Of course, the repair of the brake actuator was under warranty! The miles per gallon are what I have come to expect from a Toyota Corolla - better than 40 mpg on the freeway, a little less on surface streets. I replaced the standard interior rear view mirror with the one that has a built in Universal garage door opener because there was not a convenient place to mount the garage door opener that I had used with two previous Toyota Corolla leases. The thing I like about this 2022 Toyota Corolla: good gas mileage, bright headlights, good interior space. Things I do not like: cheap plastic rear trunk wing that broke in drive through car wash, black out lettering that standout on the greyish body color, unlit driver side lock/unlock buttons that are hard to locate in the dark when getting out of the car.

Kyle was great start to finish! I pulled into the bay and he looked up with a big smile. Kyle explained what were the service recommendations. I also shared that a family member went to the hospital and needed to be in and out quickly which was done. Kyle shared he was a recent hire. I hope he is recognized for great customer service. We have bought 4 cars at Hoffman And a customer since 2008. Renata M

Had car 8 yrs only trouble I had was upper o2 snsir went out. Still runs like a kitten.Great sound system, easy steering wheel control. Drive it from Louisiana to North Carolina once a year great gas mileage.

I recently purchased a 2011 Ford Escape. The car was in great shape and was true to it's description. Staff was friendly and all paperwork was done quickly.

We bought a sonic lt with a 1.4 turbo engine, great gas mileage and no major problems. As long as you keep up the maintenance the reliability is great.

I've owned Golfs for 7 years and absolutely love them. They are the perfect car. Fun to drive, just enough room for 4 people, great on gas, and with the rear seats folded down, there's an enormous amount of cargo space. The interior feels upscale with a leather-wrapped steering wheel and soft metallic accents, the leatherette seats are easy to clean and feel great (SO much better than fabric!) and the sound system is on point. Also love the heated seats and the sunroof with the option to crack open or fully open!!

I buy a ford and by now love it thank you so much. Good dealer

Bought one with 200k on it..drives smooth solid trNs , suspension and acceleration ..nice 1.5 liter engine no oil leaks ..just needed tune up ..spark plugs and o,e cylinder coil ...glad to have it for my gas buster budget. 40 mpg on highway ..seems like it'll go another 100k. Good in snow fwd helps alot

I met the owner and he was a tremendous guy. He was very kind and fair and in a separate situation I offered him money for a favor he had granted me and he would not accept it. This is real American charm.

I am 62 years old and have owned many vehicles. This is by far the best car I have ever owned. It has about 151,000 miles on it, and it still runs great. Zero mechanical problems so far.

We bought our first Odyssey with executive 12 years ago. That experience was wonderful. So when it came time for a new Odyssey we came back. Well, this time around was even better!!! Dominick was great to work with. is communication with us, during the process of obtaining our van, was top notch! Damian handled all the financial questions and paperwork with skill and patience. Bravo to the whole team there at Executive Honda in Wallingford.

I love the car. Bought it new. 104K miles. Super reliable. Only downside is a/c can be troublesome and mileage is subpar for being so small. I only get 23/23 mpg in normal commuting. Very fun to drive. Tons of space. Very nimble.

Alban was a great sales person helped me out getting my car and worked with me really well 🙂

I absolutely love this car, I am so glad i went with this car instead of the other option i was looking at. The only things i don’t like, are the limited storage space, and the engine start stop feature. There should be an option to turn it off and keep it off instead of having to turn it off every time i start the car. Other than that, this car is amazing. It has great leg room in the back, which is what i was looking for the most besides the remote start. I upgraded from a 2003 elantra.

Super clean and friendly dealership paper work went smooth and fast got the car I been looking for for the best deal definitely would recommend to friends and family

Purchased this car used in 2023. Right from the start had issues with the A/C compressor. It went out and I had it replaced with a used one to save a bit and it immediately went out again after a week. Mistakenly, I had an another used compressor put in and it proceeded to essentially blow up and damage my battery and belts. I guess there is an issue with the part for this model year. Otherwise I have not had any crazy issues other than regular maintenance costs. I absolutely love this car for its storage ability. It's small enough to handle city driving and small parking spots, but large enough to fit everything you need to carry. I fit all of my furniture and belongings in this car when moving. As for comfort, the heated seats are a great feature, however, I do find the seats gets quite uncomfortable after driving for more than a few hours. I drive this car back and forth to work daily and have no problem with its performance. Gets pretty good gas mileage for mostly city trips (24mpg). You can feel each and every bump that this car goes over, but it's not anything unbearable.

I shopped online for months looking at used cars but the mileages were so high. I decided in a new car and wanted the safest most reliable car out there so it was a Subaru. I bought a 2025 Subaru Crosstrek. I couldn?t be happier.

I love my new 24 Impreza black hatchback very slick looking car and drives like a dream. Big shout out to Wilsonville Subaru for helping me get a deal done on getting this car. Daniel Ramirez Cruz was very helpful especially and thoughtful of my time and what I wanted in looking for a vehicle.

I bough a new 2024 Kia Sportage with Francisco.. Great customer services, lovely staff. Love the new building. Keep it up Balise Kia, will recommend this dealership to every family and relative.

Great driver. Good gas mileage. Problem free. Second soul I have owned and just as good. My first was a 2013 and I had it for 6 years. I've had this one for over 3 years,

Cheapest dealership pricing for tires around! Kind and quick service as well! Very happy with the work done on my impreza

This car is fully loaded and had low mileage very comfortable ride beautiful interior everything you need in a daily driver it’s not a speedster but it will get you to where you going comfortably and in style I highly recommend this car.

Tom Conti and Jason Antoniou were a pleasure to work with. We love Subaru products and had an easy time transferring from lease to ownership.

I love my car. 5 speed with 20k miles. Ive put on another 100k. I have taken this little AWD car places most people dont drive their 4x4’s. But I am meticulous about maintenance. I’ve never had a single issue with anything other than a thermostat replacement and A/C recharge. With the manual I don’t have to worry about a crap cvt. The first clutch lasted 118,000 miles. The only issue was the trust bearing, the clutch was still good. You cant beat a manual AWD that gets 30+ mpg IMO. Take care of the car and it will take care of you.

Great experience, they were able to negotiate with the warranty company and were able to get me a loaner car while I waited to get mine back.

Great car. Great Price. No complaints. Just the right size for me, mainly for visibility. I've upgraded to more bells and whistles than I had before. Love the backup screen for parking. Love the miles per gallon at 32. The car has great pickup - just what you need when you need it.

Out of a scale of 1-10, they are definitely a 10! They all were very friendly, courteous and helpful.

First things first... I view any car as a necessary evil.... I view them as something to get stuff from point A to point B. If I had My druthers I'd bicycle everywere but, since I live in the Berkshires of Massachusetts and as such we get a lot of snow and I can't. The Impreza fits the bill of what I need in a car. I have driven many cars in all kinds of conditions, the Impreza has never let me down. I'll admit it won't win most drag races but if you're looking for safety and reliability look no further. Mine is a lease and is the base model, but is chock full of great and useful features such as lane assist, hazard warning and my favorite adaptive cruise control (which brakes for you as the car in front of you slows down.) I had the first iteration of the Impreza in the nineties and that was good... This is awesome. Before I leased the Impreza I did due diligence by test driving Honda, Hyundai, Nissan and Toyota... The Impreza had most of the features I wanted at the price point that I wanted... Also the only manufacturer that offered AWD on the base model.

I recently purchased a 2025 Subaru Impreza Sport from Holmgren Subaru, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Thomas was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything about the car in detail, answered all my questions clearly, and made me feel completely comfortable and confident in my decision. What really stood out to me was that Thomas never once tried to push the sale. He was honest, patient, and genuinely focused on helping me find the right fit. The test drive was great, and I left feeling excited about my new car rather than stressed or pressured. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, respectful, and easygoing salesperson, I highly recommend asking for Thomas. I’m thrilled with my new Impreza and grateful for such a smooth and positive buying experience!

Awesome car, awesome dealer (Autobarn in Countryside IL). Rides great, good gas mileage, comfortable, looks sharp, excellent safety features, dealership sweetened deal with extras, worked with us to get monthly payment down.

One of best driving cars I've owned. The gas mileage is amazing I went from gassing up weekly to once a month, The basic equipment is plenty.
