Used 2015 Subaru Forester for Sale in Branford, CT

I bought a van about 5yrs. ago, after being referred to J&M by my neighbor Mike Stoffan. I recently donated it to Disabled American Veterans. After visiting nearly 6 dealerships, I returned to J&M to buy a pick up truck. After I decided on which one I wanted, I met with salesperson Steve Magura right from the start Steve was both professional and a gentleman. After a test drive and checking the truck over, I told him about some concerns I had and he assured me that those would be taken care of. I had a loan pre-approval from my credit union and there was no trade-in. We agreed on a price, I reviewed the purchase order and made a request., Steve spoke to his manager Mr. Brown and he approved it. When I brought the check in I did a pre-delivery inspection, the mechanics did the repairs (as promised), the fluids were changed and the truck was cleaned. I met with Dannielle to complete and sign paperwork and waited nearly 25 mins.for her to process and copy documentation. She apologized for the long wait and said the reason for the delay was because they found a math error and issued me a refund. I could not believe it. I had looked at the purchase order 3 times and everything appeared OK. The point is they could have said nothing but, they did and that speaks volumes about their honesty and integrity. Whenever I called with a question someone got me a answer. Steve called me with updates and kept me informed about what was being done to the truck and when it would be ready. For ALL the above reasons I decided to write this review. If you come to J&M prepared and keep expectations realistic, I'm sure you'll do as well as I did and leave just as satisfied. Thank-you very much to Steve, Mr.Brown, Dannielle, the gentleman who drove to other lot to measure the bed of the truck, the office staff (always willing to get me answers) the mechanics and prep people. Because of all of you, I've FINALLY got the truck I wanted. I am one happy guy. I'll always refer family and friends to J&M. Again,thank-You! I give J&M 10 stars.

Dream car.love it .plenty of space, comfortable, powerful vehicle as well. I see my self recommending the same vehicle to other ppeople as well.why not..?

I bought a 2007 Infiniti G35x about 2 years ago from Green Light . I had the best experience here. Carlos, the finance manager got me approved with a very good rate and the service department took care of all my concerns I had with the car before I took it home. Jay, my salesman was exceptionally patient and answered every question I had. This place is a pressure free environment and I highly recommend it. I am currently in the market for another car and I will be visiting them very shortly. Thank you Green Light and all your staff.

Reliable, attractive, durable, safe, comfortable, all weather, slick design. All my cars have been from the Subaru family and all of my family has owned Subaru’s

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 love my Subaru. I am so happy I bought it. I do have a couple of suggestions about something that is a problem. Changing the clock is a real challenge. I get my son, a computer network engineer, to do it for me and he even says he wonders why they made it so difficult. My neighbor said she looks up a video on YouTube to change hers. I need to check that out cause my needs changing right now and will not see my son for another month. Another thing is the odometer could be better to view at a glance. I don't want to figure out where 55 is when I am driving. I still have not figured out how to get my cell phone to work through the car.

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.

The car meets all of my needs. It is my first SUV and I love that it is all wheel drive. I am happy with the purchase.

This was the FIRST time I bought a car all by myself. No father, brother or (ex) husband telling what to get and why. I was nervous, to say the least. But - Seth Brown made it so easy. He was laid back, and let me ask questions. He was also good natured about by NASCAR like test drive. It was a very positive experience and bonus, my credit union loan officer told me I got a fabulous deal!! 🍀💚😎

56k 5 yrs 1 trouble with a fuel sensor. can't find a perfect vehicle but this has served me very well. I feel confident with its safety including eyesight. I feel secure driving in heavy rains, no snow in my area. That fun factor of awd is great. I haven't used it a lot, but a little bit of off road and beach driving is good fun. I hear of some reliability concerns by others on line, but I have not had troubles, except 1 sensor. I read the cvt tranmission warrenty was extended to 100k miles, more peace of mind as I do not have an extended warrenty. I feel more connection to this car than any other car. It does me well!!

I went and looked around for the 2 cars that I saw in the website, found them with help from Sue and took it home a week later! It was funny because as I was looking another customer that was driving stopped to recommend and praise j&m for being excellent (which I already knew because I brought a family member here to purchase a car 3-4 years ago). And Sue (and Ken) was excellent, she was VERY helpful, so helpful that I brought my brother to her a couple of days later and he left with a car 2 weeks later. They weren't just any cars but cars that we actually wanted and were looking for. I loved the fact that there was no pressure when looking, they don't follow you around, they wait for you to approach them with questions. That was a plus for me,I would definitely recommend this place, they will not scam you or give you trash.

So far I've owned this for 4.5 yrs 60k miles and performs well. Excellent braking and handling of any vehicle that I have driven. Great for the rain sleet snow and sun.

Like I said before my salesperson was Rich Grassi he was very upfront, no games and trustworthy. He also introduce me to some of the mechanics that had great experience and answer some questions that I had. My wife and I ended up buying two cars there. 😅👍 In this business there's always a room to improvement keep on doing what you guys do the best.

The Subaru Forester is an excellent all-round vehicle that will fit your needs around town and is also ready to go on any adventure. We have owned two and traveled coast to coast, up mountain passes and through searing hot deserts, deep snow in the winter and this car shrugs it all off.

Premier Subaru of Watertown is simply amazing. Words cannot explain how grateful I am for all the help they gave me! I was stuck in a terrible situation with my Jeep after only a year of purchasing it. I went to Premier Subaru in dire need of a new AWD car. I was desperate. Vincent Davis (salesman) is amazing. He was so dedicated and patient, he found me the 2019 Impreza I wanted. His positive attitude made my situation so much better. Joe H handled the finances for me. Joe treated me like FAMILY. Joe was upfront and honest, he did not try and put me in another situation that would affect me down the road. I did not feel judged or discouraged by my past financial decisions. Joe helped me tremendously, not only did he get me in an amazing new car but he helped guide me in the right direction for the future. I truly felt like Vincent & Joe did everything in their power to make me happy. I could not thank them enough leaving the lot in my brand new car. In less then 24 hours, Vincent, Carmine & Joe helped me get into a 2019 Subaru Impreza 3.5 year lease. They made what i thought was the impossible, possible. The entire process was flawless. They helped me find the car i wanted in the smartest financial way possible. I look forward to spending the next three years as a Subaru owner with Premier Subaru Watertown.

I had to go back to an SUV after driving an Elantra sedan for the past 4 years. I have to say though the Forester is much roomier inside, it doesn't make great use of the storage space. Door storage, center console and leg area storage pockets are much smaller in the Forester. Otherwise, the ride is much nicer. I don't have the hip fatigue and soreness after a 3 hour car ride in the Forester that I did with the Elantra. It handles as well as the SUV Buick Rendevous I used to own and gets way better gas mileage too! It's not as zippy as the Elantra of course but I'm not sure it's as quick as other suvs I've driven. Overall I love it for the ride, room, mileage and reliability. Oh, and it has a massive sun roof!

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 had my must-haves. It was not silver or gray, has a moon roof and a good carfax history. I feel pampered in the leather HEATED seats. I can filly say I have a hot behind!

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.

I have a 2015 2.5i base. I fell in love with a Cadillac XT5 at a car show, and test drove one and a Lexus but could not bring myself to give up the Subie. While I would like more power, I like the MPG. Therefore when a more powerful engine is more important I will drive my Taurus SHO and get 20 MPG. I love the visibility in the Forester, one of the prime reasons my next vehicle will be another Forester. I very much like the visibility. For people who complain about the seats, I'm not sure what's wrong; I have a bad back and they're fine. If you test drive one and don't like the seats, don't buy it and then complain. Also for people who complain about the stiff ride, it's an SUV with AWD so not sure what they expect. Buy something with a suspension for a soft ride. I feel like the Forester is very sure footed, I'm comfortable on long trips and very happy with it. Mileage is great for AWD, I've gotten as much as 37MPG (albeit when stuck behind someone going a lot slower than I want). The sound system isn't the best, but it's upgradeable if that's important and you want to pay for it. Cons: uninspired styling (but then again exciting looks don't make it go faster), no guts (but I knew that going in), and underwhelming audio. Pros: good MPG, great safety features and outstanding visibility.

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.

This car has great gas mileage, and handles really well. We have taken it on camping trips up into the mountains, and had to problems with packing in all our camping gear. It has been a dream car for both in town, and on vacation trips.

Just picked up our seventh used car from Imports Unlimited, this time coming up from North Carolina to take delivery. Mike is honest, fair, upfront and easy to do business with. These are salvage cars - he only buys "dry" flood cars - and he has been doing it for over 20 years, so he knows what he is doing. The cars are in perfect condition, fully inspected, warrantied, and offered at a great price. With the previous six cars, over a period of about 15 years, we have never had a single problem. Why pay more?????

Durable , reliable, a joy to drive, excellent gas mileage, panoramic sunroof, excellent in mud and snow. This vehicle is a true value , It has a premium stereo system

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.

Our Subaru saved our lives tonight! Those airbags deployed beautifully when that idiot tried to beat the red light, speeding straight toward us and totaled our car, head on! We walked away after we were cut out of all the protective airbags! Oh my God, thank you EMTs and Subaru! I opened my eyes, hands shaking to feel like I was in a cocoon! Truth!

This is a great vehicle and we're so glad that we purchased one. We've had a couple of minor things go wrong that should not have such as the drivers side visor starting to squeak loudly. All said we are very happy with this car. On the down side there is now standard technology out there that is not available. Automatic wipers are missing and items like remote start and subaru's safety and security package are extra when Honda includes them both free. But my biggest issue is not the car it's that there is no convenient dealersl or service anywhere near me. The nearest service is 45 minutes away. The next car will have to be available locally.

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

Have owned 2 Volvos and the company lost it's spark. Subaru has that spot in my heart now. From the 5 star crash rating (except front passenger seat is 4 star) to great reliability records and good tech stuff I am thrilled.

I came into MIke's Motors uknown if I can get a car because I had a repo and no other car dealership would not approve me for a car loan...but Mike's motors did. And now I am the proud owner of a 2008 Nissan Sentra, it has low miles and also a 20 point car inspection I am very happy and the staff answers all my questions...I give them 5 stars all around.

This model of subi has been great, outside of the factory warranty 2.5L engine replacement. Quick and responsive with the 5 speed. The automatic leaves a bit to be desired. Almost 9 inches of ground clearance is Jeep territory and the AWD system inspires confidence in rain, snow and mud.

Excellent vision in all directions from the Forester. We like the no non-sense styling of the Touring 2.5i. Easy to get into and out of which matters if getting a few years on you. Very good gas mileage and handling with excellent performance. The AWD is certainly one of many key selling points. Fit and finish is excellent with very good reliability so far. We think it is a excellent SUV and would definitely purchase another Subaru SUV if needed.

This car is reliable, sturdy, comfortable and has many safety features. It still looks and drives like new after 2 years . Low maintenance and great gas mileage !

Great dependable cars...I have one with 265K on it and as soon as I have the radiator replaced I will give to the grandkids. Comment

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!

I like the comfort and the visibility of this car. All who have ridden in it feel that it’s comfortable too. Love the eyesight package which gives warnings regarding blind spots and so forth. Find it very easy to parallel park. My only complaint is that the audio controls aren’t intuitive to use, at least for me.
