Used 2017 Subaru Forester for Sale in Berlin, CT

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.

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.

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.

After doing my research, we knew we wanted a new Forester. We just had to find the best place to buy one. Checked online quotes and compared to Schaller Subaru, found them to be competive. What we wanted was someone who wanted our business. After the purchase Dan spent a lot of time with us to make sure we understood all of the car's options and how to get the best experience with our 2018 Forester. Dan has also reached out to us to check our satisfaction and make sure we should call him if we had any questions. We have scheduled our first service appointment and have great confidence it to wil be a great experience.

Can’t beat the great safety features for long commutes or long trips! This is a great family car or a first car for teenage drivers.

This car met all of our needs. It has plenty of leg room, wide opening doors, back up camera and heated seats. It also has the least number of blind spots I've ever had in a vehicle. I also feel safer in my Forester then I have in any other car I've owned. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new car/small SUV.

I located two SUV's I was interested, called dealership and spoke with salesperson. I met with the salesperson after work, test drove both SUV's and discussed how I could make the purchase. The salesperson was very busy, took the time to help me. A couple of hours later I was in the financial office signing/filling out all the paperwork. Four days later I'm driving/enjoying my new car👍🏼😁 The staff at Wallingford Toyota are Amazing..

This car has meet all my needs. I feel good driving this car. I feel safe!It has all the great features in it. It is a very comfortable car 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.

Great SUV for a modest investment! I'm getting an average of 24 mpg and 28 on highway trips. The noise level is low and the comfort is high. I have almost 25000 miles and have not experienced any issues. Buy this car if you want value and reliability!

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

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 !

We weren't planning on buying anything yet and were just looking. Everyone was friendly and helpful without being pushy and/or just looking to make a sale. Bill K. worked with us, asked questions, really listened to what we had to say and respected our opinions - meaning he didn't try to change our mind about what we liked or wanted in a car. He also understood that I was still hesitant to give up my 15-yr-old 2002 Outback. It was in good shape but due to age would eventually start needing expensive repairs, which is why we were starting to look around. He was very knowledgeable and found us a car similar to what I had. On one question we had he got someone else more knowledgeable about it to speak with us. We did a test drive - sweet ride. We asked for time to talk and think some more. He left us alone. When we came back in to talk, he made us an offer we couldn't refuse. Finance also found us a warranty we couldn't refuse. Bill has checked in with us a few times to see if we had any questions and how we liked the car. We couldn't figure out how to set the clock - the manual wasn't helpful on that - and we brought it in. Bill was with another client but had Guy come out to the car and set it up for me. Guy was a sweetheart and patiently went through everything on the dash with me and set things up the way I wanted them. LOVE the car!! I've had it two weeks and already took it to Maine and back. Very sweet ride - like floating. Bill is a great guy and we highly recommend him and the dealership. It was a refreshing change from past dealership experiences where they only cared about selling a car no matter what or how, and getting as much money as they could out of us. Thank you Bertera Subaru of Hartford! :)

This SUV is a great vehicle for the money, and is extremely comfortable on long road trips. It has a smooth ride with ample power for around town use. I would have preferred an analog fuel gauge instead of the digital one.

Went in looking to trade in my 2002 (pretty beaten down) Hyundai Elantra for a pre-owned Subaru. It was my first time financing a car on my own, and Bill was very helpful and explained everything to me. They also gave me the highest amount for my trade-in compared to other dealerships I had visited prior. I???m very happy with my 2015 crosstrek! Everyone at this dealership was very friendly, and they were eager to help. You guys all made this experience fun rather than stressful, so THANK YOU!

First thing I notices when driving this vehicle was how easy it is to see out of! The windshield and the way you're seated gives the ultimate view of the road which I love. The ride is exceptionally smooth and the car looks stellar! Highly recommend!

Thanks to CarMax services Team I can now relax and drive my car. They were so helpful and I trust them will never ever ever go to any dealer for my car repair. Special thanks to Carolyn for being so nice and understandable.

This car has been a good car. It seems to be very reliable. It also has been good in the snow and ice. It also gives good gas mileage.

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!

Beautiful, efficient, handles well in all types of traffic. Have taken on 2 lengthy road trips so far and just love it! Easy packing hatch back holds luggage and extras for 3 weeks on the road. traveling caravan style with 3 other vehicles, my Forester voted most comfortable by all passengers and alternate drivers. I rarely need a comfort stop because adjustable seats make every drive like traveling in a lounge chair.

Steve Kozar was our sales person. No pressure . Got answers to all our questions quickly. We found a great car at a fair price . Steve is very personable and accommodating. When we picked up the car we were in and out in 30 minutes and the car was fully detailed and they had addressed any issues we raised during our test drive and inspection to our satisfaction. Overall a very pleasant car buying experience. I’d recommend you see Steve if you are looking for a quality ride.

A comfortable ride, an elevated seating position, standard all-wheel drive, and available state-of-the-art safety technology. Excellent fuel economy. Exceptional acceleration thanks to sequential fuel injection. Best AWD system developed so far.

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.

Just bought a new to me Forester and I couldn't be happier. Subaru hasn't let me down yet...this is my 3rd one and I can't imagine driving anything else. It's safe, reliable and sporty!

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.

Excellent car for safety and performance. A repeat buyer. Subaru has added latest safety features like Blind Spot Monitor, RAB, Land Departure warning and Excelent Sound System.

This is my second vehicle purchased from Vroom in the last 12 months, and I can't imagine ever buying a used car from a brick-and-mortar dealership again. Vroom offers a terrific selection of late model used vehicles. The pictures really make it easy to know what the car looks like. I purchased a 2015 BMW 5-series, and the Vroom price compared to a similar make/model/mileage vehicle from CarMax was $3,000+ cheaper. I selected my vehicle over a few weeks of looking at photos. I filled out a credit application online, and they immediately called me to finalize the app, discuss rates and payments, and to get my $500 deposit. I received a loan package via FedEx 2 days later, signed all the paperwork, and sent it back in the pre-paid FedEx envelope they provided. About 3 days later, I started getting emails to schedule delivery. The process only took 9 business days from the moment I made the deposit to the moment I got my vehicle. The vehicle was clean, just as described, and runs great. Now I just need to get a state inspection and add this to my insurance policy, and the tags will be mailed to me in a few weeks. Thankfully, Vroom gives me a 60-day temp tag so there is ample time to receive the plates. This is the future of car-buying, and the 7-day money back guarantee makes it the perfect way to purchase a used vehicle.

Wanting something all wheel drive naturally leads you to Subaru. If you're looking for something with some off road capabilities but also a steady commuter with some room to spare, the Forester is the sweet spot. The 2019 generation Foresters are great, but they lack the punch of the older turbo options. With the same 250+ HP, 258 lb-ft torque engine in the WRX, the 2.0 L turbo shaves off over 2 seconds from the 0-60 time of the standard 2.5i engine. And it's noticeable. It gets knocked for being paired to CVT but I find it to be smooth and has great throttle response in Sport mode. Off road and in snow it does really well and lives up to the hype. A lot of reviews don't consider the Forester to be that stylish on the exterior, but I think that's ultimately a matter of preference. I find the exterior to be simple but muscular with the XT having a meaner front end. Inside there are some good upgrades which finally make the Forester feel a bit more luxury including leather seats and accents, a quieter interior and a decent sound system. The Harmon/Kardon sound system still leaves a lot to be desired, however. It's very bass heavy without a lot of refinement. Overall the Forester XT with Touring trim offers some nice amenities with still staying true to the rugged nature Subaru is known for. Pros: fun to drive (3 driving modes, paddle shifters), great visibility, great off road capabilities, roomy back seat and trunk, giant sunroof Cons: lower gas mileage, premium fuel recommended, lack of interior refinement, weak infotainment system

This car has better quality than the 2012 outback we had. The room is better and the ride is smooth. The car has many more up to date safety features than he out we had.

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 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.

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.

It has all the imenities I was looking for. Plus many more. It has a lot of leg room. Storage by the spare tire. I love the way the suv looks.

Full disclosure: My girlfriend owns it, but I drive it a lot. I find the 2017 Forester to be a pretty decent small SUV. I find it comfortable and fairly well-designed. I'm not a huge fan of CVTs but find it has enough pep when I need it. The dash is fairly well-organized and all critical controls are knobs and buttons rather than buried in the touch screen like some cars. A few things could be slightly better organized but these are minor details. The Subaru infotainment system is pretty lacking and the touch screen is buggy sometimes. They're behind the curve on this. But overall it's a decent car even if I'd like it more with a 6 speed manual.

Living in Oregon, I was willing to travel for the right car - and I found that car at Artioli. Rick McAvay made the magic happen. He was quick to respond to inquiries and make the deal happen. And can you beat it...he had the car running and ready to go as soon as I got off the plane! After all the other dealerships I had contacted, Rick was a breath of fresh air - to the point, motivated, and not at all intimidated by my long distance purchase. Follow my lead - if the car you want is at Artioli, buy it from Rick! I am one extremely satisfied customer!

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.
