Used 2018 Subaru Crosstrek for Sale in Branford, CT

Let me start this review by saying that I've been a Subaru owner going on a decade and a half. That being said, I knew exactly what I wanted in my new WRX and searched far and wide to find it. Having abandoned almost all hope of finding a manual base model in WRB, short of ordering from my local dealer (where I was quoted a 3-4 month wait and having to pay the sticker price), I happened upon Premier's website after broadening my search. They had a 2017 WRX in WRB with two options: a vortex generator and a short throw shifter at over $1,300 and change below MSRP. Bear in mind this was one of about a dozen WRX and STI models they had listed, all below MSRP. After I decided to buy the car, my salesperson, Jeff, and the business manager, Rob, didnt try to push any extra warranties or "deals" beyond mentioning that they we were available. All in all, this was a great car buying experience and well worth the long drive.

This car exceeded my expectations and they were high. Great gas mileage all wheel drive and plenty of storage space for all of my work related needs.

My husband & I, in and approaching retirement age respectively, recently found ourselves in need of replacing our cars. He purchased his first Subaru 7 months ago at a dealership close to home here. I've owned an Outback (2002...my "baby" 😊) for the last 12 years. I quickly located the color combination that I wanted on the Branford Premier Subaru dealership web site. After confirming its availability over the phone with a very friendly & helpful Brian Canell, an appointment was set up for the next day with salesman Luke Pannone. We didn't even bother to test drive, but made the arrangements & went home to await delivery. Meanwhile, Luke kept us posted & patiently answered my emailed questions, etc. I was surprised to learn that he was a newer employee because he is very knowledgeable, efficient & businesslike, as well as friendly & helpful...a real pro. Rob Weljkovic clearly explained all financial aspects of warranty, care & maintenance packages, etc., so we have nothing to worry about even if a bird feather lands on my car. 😉 Every aspect of our purchase was handled smoothly & efficiently by a team that obviously knows their product & their business. It was also comforting to see how busy this dealership is...always a good sign. Today some friends of mine (Subaru lovers & drivers too), came to take my beloved 2002 to a new home, and I drove home my very first NEW car EVER. We highly recommend Luke Pannone & the rest of the Premier team for your Subaru purchasing experience.

Love my 2018 Crosstrek. Sporty AWD vehicle that is perfect for me. Highly recommend for a reliable and safe vehicle that is fun to drive.

I wrote a review a few days after purchasing my new vehicle. Somehow it didn't get submitted. I will try again from memory. A good friend of mine recommended Quality Subaru for the purchase of a new car. I was actually not in the market to buy one, but my friend always steered me in the right direction. I traded in a 2011 Subaru Forrester, for a 2018 Subaru Forrester. I am 72 years old and bought my share of vehicles over the years. NEVER! Has it been so easy, (no pressure no judgment). Nicholas Hammond met me at the front door, with his with and good nature. Mike Ward was very friendly and easy going too. One of the things that impressed me the most,is when I saw Nick washing my old license plate front and back with soap and water. The plates had special meaning to me, they belonged to my late wife. I would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone.

From the moment I purchased the Crosstrek, I have found a new admiration for the Subaru brand. Although it doesn’t have the crazy 0-60 speed like some cars do, it does provide a comfortable ride that can take you places those other cars cannot, and definitely has better fuel efficieny. I just reached 6000 miles in my Crosstrek and average around 28-29MPG in the city. I was also wowed by the award winning safety features that came with it as well. All in all, great car!!!

I have been looking for an affordable Remote Engine Starter for my Subaru Legacy 2016. All other Subaru branches sell the remote for a whopping $369.95. Fortunately, I saw this Quality Subaru branch at Wallingford, CT online, which sells the remote for only $277.46! What a steal. I decided to use my "Goodwill Parts and Service" voucher for $250. I encountered some minor problems applying the coupon code online, so I sent an email to the branch asking for assistance. I immediately received a response from Mr. Warren Smith, the branch parts manager. He applied the code and basically ordered the remote for me and had it shipped to my house. He went above and beyond his duty to help me out, and for that I am truly grateful. I have been to several Subaru branches, which, sad to say, lacked customer service and professionalism. This branch in Wallingford, CT is cut above the rest. They really give importance to customer service and satisfaction. If only I live closer to CT, I would make this my regular go-to branch for my Subaru.

Really fun car to drive, very responsive. One of the few cars that still come with a stick. Happy to report that Subaru still makes a great product. I have only owned the car a few months, but, so far, so good!

I have to say that my experience with Mounir (???Mo???) was absolutely amazing. He was so thorough, kind and extremely accomodating to my wants and needs in purchasing my new car. He also presented several great deals with me and worked really well with me on my trade in of my old 2014 Subaru. I absolutely love my brand new 2019 Subaru Crosstrek!! 😀

I've had my 2018 crosstrek sport eyesight for 16 months so far--- on my THIRD RADIO so far--- AND 10 other VISITS to dealership for UPDATES, UPGRADES, REPROGRAMMING, etc--- thinking of seeing a LAWYER to SUE subaru for a FULL REFUND ---THAT way they can keep GUESSING ON THIER ON TIME, NOT MINE ANYMORE--NASA can send a spaceship FASTER to the SPACESTATION than subaru can fix their RADIO PROBLEMS--- E M B A R R A S I N G

What can we say? We loved our Subie-Do. She gave us 11 years and 164,235 miles of adventures. When it came time to put her out to pasture we knew the only car for us would be another Forester. My how they've changed since 2007! But our perceptive liaison to the 21st Century Car, Grace Baldwin, enabled us to test drive and pick just the right model to suit our needs. No more no less, just the perfect match suited to how we make use of our car, what for and where to. As we are also UpState New York transplants, we, (I!!) especially appreciated the way Grace listened and attentively suggested particular roads to confidently test drive before venturing out on busier interstate lanes. I suppose that kind of intuitive interaction best sums up my experience purchasing a car for the first time this century! We are grateful to have had an informative and gracious guide in Grace Baldwin.

14,000 miles so far and no problems. It handles and rides really good goes anywhere in snow , great gas mileage just a good all around car . Its perfect for road trips around town or anything in between. Its power is better than what most people say about it being slow, its no race car but it gets up and goes pretty well.

This was the first time we had gone to Dan Perkins after having previously gone to Premier in Branford for several Subarus. We found out that Adam Arsenault had left Premier after calling them and having the say he was no longer there. We literally called around to other Subaru dealers asking if Adam was there and lucky for us he found a home at Dan Perkins. As always, Adam made our experience easy and without BS. This was our first time buying a car in a while after leasing for several years, and Adam really made the experience as painless as possible. He just gives it to you straight, every single time. I was also just impressed with Dan Perkins as a dealer overall. They weren't pushy. They didn't send in the "heavy" to try to lowball you on price. They said this is what we can do, and that's our best number and it was a fair number. When we came to pick up our car, I was thinking it was going to take forever and be uncomfortable based on previous experience, but George the Finance Manager made it seem like a piece of cake. George is a class act. He is very down to earth and easy to talk to, but also was efficient in that we got through the business we needed to very quickly. When he said we had done all the paperwork, I was sort in shock--how could that have gone so fast? Overall, I could not be more pleased with our experience at Dan Perkins. Since we got our car, I have recommended two friends to go see Adam at Dan Perkins and one of them ended up getting an Outback from him. (The other is still looking with him for a specific used car.) The price they got right up front was very competitive. It was so competitive that my friend, upon calling all the other dealerships in the state to see if they could beat the price (as he does with every car purchase--too much effort for me but that's what he does) had one dealer laugh and say he made the price up because "no one could offer that low of a price." Bottom line, if you need a new car, do not pass go, do not collect $200, just go straight to Adam Arsenault at Dan Perkins. Very satisfied customer and will go back again as soon as we need to return the lease on our other car.

I have owned my 2018 Crosstrek for 7 months and I still love it as much as the day I drove it off the lot. Excellent fuel economy for the weight and drivetrain. Fun to drive with fantastic steering response. It is a bit underpowered for my liking but it does have the torque for highway passing. The cargo area is spacious and the rear seats fold completely flat which is great for hauling. After test driving and researching several vehicles in this market segment, this was the best “bang for the buck”. I strongly recommend this vehicle.

I needed to get online and write a review about Josh Solsol from Dan Perkins Subaru because just telling him how amazed and grateful we are simply isn't enough! My boyfriend and I went into his dealership after having a terrible experience at another right before, our car just broke down days previous to this and we had 2-3 days while I was off from work to figure things out! After our bad experience we thought we KNEW that no one could help us get a car. As soon as we shook hands with Josh he was so welcoming and gave us a feeling of comfort that we never received from a car salesman. After hearing our story he said "I'm going to get you approved and in a car TODAY" . We laughed and told him good luck because like I said, we thought we knew no one could get us a new car with our circumstances. Long story short Josh got us approved for the car we wanted and after hours and hours going back and fourth through everything and issues that were coming up he kept telling us "don't worry were going to figure this out, don't stress were getting you your car". And he did! It took 2 days about to work through everything because of my old car but he never stopped. He went all day that second day from 11am focused on us with not one break until they closed and we left with our 2015 Subaru legacy! Josh has been in contact with us ever since to make sure everything is going smooth and to ensure that we are happy! We need Dan Perkins Subaru to understand what they have in Josh! He is amazing and so dedicated to helping his guests ultimately be happy and get in the car they need. We will be recommending Josh with DP Subaru to every and anyone we know in the future! Josh you're amazing and we can't thank you enough for how hard you worked to help us in our tricky situation. Your personality is unlike any other and you will only continue to strive and succeed in this business! We'll be back to see you indefinitely for our second car !

Power is not that high, but comfort ease of driving, leg room heated seats, 6 speed, gas mileage 37.8 mpg, great little car but not for 10,000 ft in elevation

Mike Gallio did a fantastic job handling the entire purchasing process. Entertaining my early requests when researching the 2018 WRX's, scheduling a visit, giving me a test drive in both wrx/sti to let me make up my mind and following up with my needs. Never felt overbearing (this isn't my first subaru purchase...) and his professionalism and candor made me pick Dan Perkins to buy my car. He made sure I got the car I wanted, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the process. George and Gabe made the whole car pick up and finance/ownership transfer process smooth. I would definitely recommend this dealership and these employees if you are in the market for a new car.

Best car I have ever owned so far. It is truly a winter bitter specially for someone living in Canada and driving long distances. It has met all my expectations so far.

My review is of Bob Oshrin. When I walked through your doors with my daughter he came toward us with a friendly smile and I told my daughter that he was the man I wanted to do business with. I was of immediate need of a car and he could not have been more patient or helpful. I hadn't bought a car in 15 years and needed to work with someone just like Bob. He made sure that I understood all the steps involved and then made sure I understood the workings of the car. (I'm still learning). I was very fond of my 2000 Subaru Outback but am working on a relationship with my new RED Impreza. In time I will get to know all the bells and whistles, and enjoy driving it. He is a very good salesman and very understanding. Sincerely Theresa S. Kelso

My car is way better than I expected. It has everything I needed and more. I couldn't be more happy with it. Back up camera is very helpful, living in Portland I'm always having to parallel park and it makes it super easy. Love the seat warmers, they're so nice for the fall and winter weathers. It's a very safe car, it has lights on my side mirrors that lets me know when someone is in my blind spot, it beeps if I'm accidently going into the next lane or if a car has stopped suddenly, it also stops its self if it gets to close to a stopped car. It has a sunroof which is a huge bonus! And the color is so beautiful, I get so many compliments on it. I love it!

Both my partner and I each purchased a brand-new Subaru (one Forrester and one Crosstrek) from "Kevin" within 3 days of each other and couldn't be happier. We had done our research in advance, knew what we each wanted and had a ballpark idea about costs. Kevin was great - answered all our questions, explained everything in detail and made both purchases painless. Even though there are other Subaru dealers closer to us, I am glad we drove the extra miles. I would absolutely do business again with Dan Perkins Subaru and Kevin in the future. I will also strongly recommend them to my friends.

I desired this car for maybe 6 years now (since it was released) and of all the criticisms it has received, the only one that makes a real impact is its speed. This is not a fast car. You cannot "thread the needle" or zip into a pocked when merging onto the highway, so you always need to account for the lack of acceleration and maybe wait a little longer when entering higher-speed roads. Other than that, I love this car. Everything about it. I live in NY and need something that can put up with snow, poor road conditions, and the occasional unfinished (dirt) road. This car does all of that and more. I feel confident driving it, and I can put my trust in its safety features. The one addition I have made to the car is a front and rear dash cam hardwired into the car, because you never know.

In short, I had a great experience with Jackson Chevy from start to finish and could not be happier with making my purchase through them. I started off emailing several dealers to get the best price to factory order my 2017 Camaro SS. Sal from Jackson Chevy ended up beating most other dealerships' best price by $1000. I was then passed to Joe to work with me throughout the ordering process. Joe took care my questions, concerns, and any requests I had. He even found me extra rebates that his usual customers wouldn't get due to where I live. He didn't need to do this but I'm glad he took the extra step. Overall, a pleasant experience, met some cool people, and got a good price.

This is a daily driver/commuter for me. I am pleased with the fuel economy and the driving quality of this car. It is responsive and comfortable. The bad road capability is the principle reason I traded my Mazda3 for this car and I am quite pleased so far. I will say that the head unit (audio, bluetooth, etc) is less than stellar. I travel out of cell coverage a lot and rely on my iPod for tunes and podcasts. This unit is not compatible with my 4th Gen iPod. My 2017 Toyota Tacoma has no issues and my 2015 Mazda3 had no issues. It makes zero sense to me that this simple compatibility could not be included. Fortunately there is an aftermarket.

I own a 07 GMC sierra 2500hd. Had a problem with climate controls. Have taken it to a GMC dealer in Watertown, Ct, wont say the name. They had my truck for two weeks, did not fix it and wanted to charge $575 . Loehmann-Blasius Chevrolet had my truck for thee days, diagnosed and fixed the problem for much less. I am happy to drive my truck an enjoy it. Will highly recommend the service at Loehmann Blasius To any one. Thank you Mike Strenk

The safety features of this car have saved lives and thousand of dollars of accidental damage. Eyesight is amazing. The buying experience was great. The dealer we dealt with was one of the best I have ever visited.

Everyone @ BMW Bridgeport showed patience, knowledge and expertise. Having owned BMW's for over 15 years I will always by the brand only at BMW of Bridgeport. Vinny not only listened to my needs/wants, delivered exactly what I expected without pressuring me for more upgrades and did not hassle me to make a decision. He went out of his way to ensure I was comfortable with the purchase. When I picked up the vehicle someone (I'm embarassed to have forgotten his name) spent close to an hour reviewing the enhancements to the 2018 3 series. Ensuring I felt confident driving the vehicle home, taking time to to hooking up my blue tooth and loading my radio stations. There were quite a few differences between my current 3 Series and new one. He was very patient with my technical limitations and made all the changes seamless. Victoria from the Business Office was personable and made the transaction easy; ensuring that all the Financials were easily understood. My decision to start the sales process with BMW of Bridgeport came through my 10 year always positive relationship with my Service Specialist Bernard. I have been able to trust in his knowledge and judgements about the service of my previous vehicle for 10 years and I know nothing about cars or technology. Basically buying a vehicle at BMW of Bridgeport is seeing a "family" @ work. The process involved a lot of different people,they all showed trust in each others strengths to give me the "ultimate BMW experience". Thank you all!

The Subaru Crossover is a nice looking car with a beautiful leather interior. It has all the gadgets and being a Subaru you know it will last a lifetime. I love everything about it except it is not a comfortable ride. I cannot drive for long distances. Compared to my Rubicon it gets a one star for being a comfortable ride. Other than that, compared to all the other Crosstreks it is the best by far.

I was looking for a pre owned Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo but wanted one with heated leather seats and a few extra upgrades- which for a Laredo isn't easy to find. I had emailed Greg Bartley about a Jeep they had in stock, which he provided me the information on but also told me about another that had just come in. This would end up being my dream vehicle- it had everything I was looking for, got me in the next day for a test drive and by the end of the week it was in my driveway. If it hadn't been for Greg's proactive and helpful nature, I wouldn't have known about this vehicle and could've missed out. We discussed the terms and what I was comfortable with and there was no hassle or back and forth- he understood what I wanted and made the deal happen. The process was quick and convenient and I couldn't be happier that I reached out to Greg!

No storage compartments in rear. “Felt” paper for carpets. No CD player. Not what I wanted for the money. Value not there. Do not recommend.

The whole people thing @ Blasius makes it.. Dave Hughes , Tara & Diane, everyone makes you feel like family !! No dealership has ever been as friendly with great service repairs as well !!

My first Subaru and I love the car. Wasn’t looking for a lot of frills and for the price I’m satisfied. Looks sporty, especially in black and with my bike racks on top. I drive to Tahoe to bike and ski and it has plenty of power to get me there with no issues. Plenty of room, I fit a 6ft Xmas tree in the back no problem. The only thing that I wish was different is that it’s hard to see the speedometer when driving. It’s tucked to the right side of the dash, I have to look around the steering wheel to see it, wish it was in the middle or as a digital heads up display. Totally satisfied!

My husband told me about Carvana from a commercial ad he heard/saw. I laughed about it and said 'yah right, there's gotta be a hitch somewhere'. A few weeks later, he brought up Carvana again....curious, I decided to check it out online. The key words there was 'check it out'. I ended up buying a vehicle a couple hours later. Yeup, it was just like that. No hassle, no hidden costs or agendas. So after reviewing everything on the site, I started looking at minivans....I started falling in love with minivans....I started buying minivans....all through carvana. Once I locked in the one I wanted, I went through the credit process, documentation process, and pick up date (I chose pick up - because at this point, I still felt a little 'leary' about the whole deal'. It was so simple, and so honest, and so real. Over the course of the next 24 hours, all my submitted documents were approved and we just had two days to go to pick up the new mininvan. When we got to the store, it's not like a dealership with a lot, but it had three beautiful, well lit, very clean, showroom like bays that your vehicle is sitting in for your to do a complete inspection of it. It was very classy. Please note, our particular location does not have the car vending machine just yet. After passing our over check, I hopped in the car and drove it 65 miles home. She ran like a charm and I knew I had 7 days to decide if I wanted to keep her not. At day 3, although I loved her, she didn't have all the bells and whistles I truly wanted so that evening, I was back on the Carvana site, shopping for a replacement minivan....it's so easy to do when it gives you results based on your financial settings....I found the new 'her' a few hours later. I ordered her up and made the quick call explaining I was swapping and chose to have the vehicle delivered instead of going there to save time. The whole swap process took 2 days...they pulled up right to my house with my next new minivan. In my eyes, she was perfect, but I found a flaw before she was even off the truck. There was a huge bolt in the back tire. I was so disappointed. But Carvana took care of that so amazingly over the top.....they still brought her off the truck so I can check out the interior, test drive it, etc. We found a few more things that we felt should be fixed...minor things. Carvana took note of the items, and took the vehicle back on the truck but promised me (because I really wanted her that day) they would bring her back with a new tire....they kept their promise, three hours later she was back with a brand new tire, not one, but TWO brand new back tires. And they put an extra Carvana cup in the car for me. They swapped the minivans and off the old one went and there I sat with the new one. Smile ear to ear. I worked with Carvana on 6 items that we believed needed repair before committing to keep the vehicle. Carvana went above and beyond. I got an estimate for the repairs at a local shop, Carvana approved it, and within a few weeks, all repairs were completed through Carvana and I have the perfect vehicle, no hassle, no hidden agendas. And every person I dealt with on the phone or in person were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, FRIENDLY, HELPFUL, AND JUST THE BEST!! My Carvana experience was the absolute best. I will never go back to buying a car the old 'car dealership' way. And ironically, we had bought our other vehicle from a dealership just 3 months before being introduced to Carvana. I will give one warning about buying a vehicle through Carvana this way....it can be addicting..lol :-) Yes, I still shop Carvana cars every now and then....I don't even need a car, I just love seeing what Carvana has because it was sooo simple :-) Thank you Carvana for a trememdously wonderful experience.

Comfortable, good size, all wheel drive, decent mileage, nice look. Radio is hard to operate - it won’t turn off. Enough space for a few people to be comfortable.

After being a Subaru Forester owner for 15 years and ten years with my last model, it was time for me to purchase a new vehicle. Mike Maniscalchi introduced himself and we found him to be both personable, and knowledgeable in all aspects of the vehicles. He took the time to listen to a 60+ senior to try to place me in my perfect vehicle. Though I loved the Forester, I thought that our live style had changed and we could pursue other Subaru vehicles. Believe me when I say that I think I drove every vehicle type Subaru stocked. Liked the size and feel of the Subaru Crosstrek but could not get beyond the orange stitching they use in the interior. It drove like the Forester and had a sleek look and still offered the hatch. Unfortunately, the 2018 Forester had gone through some exterior and interior modifications, and it was not for me. We were at the dealership for the better part of the afternoon and evening. All the time we were there, Mike was as attentive as he was the first moment we arrived trying to work with me to find the "perfect" vehicle for me. By now I was so confused ( 6 pm)I wanted to call it a day! Mike never pressured us and if we needed to take a break and return the next day Mike would have been fine with that and would have greeted us the next day with a smile! My husband has a 2015 fully-equipped Subaru Legacy and in the back of my mind as far as features were concerned, I guess I wanted what he had in a different model. Though I still preferred the 8.7 road clearance offered by the Forester. Intuitively, Mike understood this and asked me if I wanted to drive the Outback. Much to my surprise, i liked how it drove, interior and road clearance worked also. Being seniors, we did have a budget and finally came to an agreement that fit our budget and I purchased the 2018 Outback Subaru. Additionally, he also spent all the time I needed when reviewing the features of my vehicle when I picked it up. Beyond satisfied with the entire Subaru experience. Ask for Mike when it is your turn to purchase a Subaru. He is patient, knowledgeable, makes you feel comfortable, interested in what you want, and if it takes hours to find you the perfect vehicle...he will! As you know the financing paperwork can be challenging and "painful". Kevin was great to work with and made the experience as painless as possible...he was friendly and personable. Both Mike and Kevin were awesome.

Couple of more horsepower could be useful. It is adequate, but not dynamic. Found the design and interior to be very nice and comfortable. Like the car.

One week ago I received an email from Schaller, today I drove away with the 2017 Subaru Impreza Hatchback with manual transmission (tough to find) that I'd hoped to find! Dave Pricone (sales) was excellent to work with, ensuring that I knew my new cars features before I left the lot. He worked with his manager (Mike) to get the price that I needed to stay in budget. And Kevin Savage (finance manager) had all the paper work ready for delivery. I'll be back! I expect that Schaller Subaru service professionals will be as exceptional as the sales pros were! Thank you again, Dave!

The Crosstrek is a fun and reliable vehicle. The car doesn't have a ton of space but is great for a 2-3 person family. Great for off-roading and travelling long distances as well as camping/hiking.

The salesman Jason Rivera was unique. He was professional, friendly and trustworthy. I???ve never seen such great salesman like him before in my life. It only took him 2 hours for me to drive out with my brand new car. He even came to my house to pick me up. He drove for 40 minutes to pick me up. 👍 for him and his entire dealership. I???ll do my best to refer anyone who wants to buy a car to you guys. Thanks a lot guys especially Mr. Jason Rivera.

I have purchased Imprezas and Outbacks, driven Foresters and Legacys. But the Crosstreks are by far the best! I have driven in snowstorms, rain storms and ice storms - and the obnly thing I have had to worry about are the other drivers on the road who are NOT driving Subarus.
