My son looked at cars and was not hassled. People answered questions for him. He bought a 2014 Kia FORTE 5 EX hatchback. Blue, ha is happy!
2012 Subaru Forester review
I’m the 3rd owner of a 2012 Subaru Forester purchased at approx 175,000 miles and it still runs pretty good! It does burn oil up pretty quickly and mine has issues with reading the levels and won’t give me a warning light so i check the dip stick often. Mine did have exhaust issues and had to replace a rested out piping from the cat back, but mufflers were still good. Also the Oxygen sensor was a problem for awhile, which you can only use on brand for it to work properly. Gas mileage is decent for the size of the vehicle and its age. Only wish the front seats went back more bc my taller girlfriend who is 5’11 with long legs struggles to fit and be comfortable in the passenger seat.

2012 Subaru Forester review
This car was roomy, affordable and had great reviews from my family and friends. 4 cylinder makes it great on gas and I'm hoping like I've heard that it will last for years to come.

Performance Auto review
Sean and his team did a great job for us. We have been looking for a WRX for a while. We found one at Performance Auto. The car was detailed well and in great shape. I have found so many dealers that don't do anything to the cars before they sell them. It is good to see Sean cares about product quality and customer satisfaction. Their price was fair. We had a small repair needed and they took care of it right away. We are enjoying the car.
2012 Subaru Forester review
This is my third Subaru. It is a reliable car. It is fun to drive. I may not work for a large family. I never had the feeling that I can't rely of this car. It is a lot of fun to drive in the snow. It is very comfortable to drive long distance. I would recommend this car an would have my kids drive it.

SHiFTED review
Purchased a 3rd Gen 4Runner from this dealership over a year ago. Vehicle has been exactly what I would have hoped for. They provide thorough video-walk-throughs with most of their vehicles. Transaction was efficient, as I was coming from over 5 hours away. Gave me some good recommendations about keeping frame in good condition here in midwest. Would purchase from them again!
2012 Subaru Forester review
One of the most comfortable cars I have owned. The things I love best. the reliability of the vehicle, only regular maintenance with higher miles, The huge moon roof, and the simple design of the interior of car. This car is loaded yet has very minimal control buttons which is perfect for me rather than trying to figure out how to operate everything. Best car I have ever owned especially buying used with high miles.
