New and Used 2020 Subaru Forester for Sale in Tampa, FL

I have owned my Subaru now for 3 months going 4 at the time of this review, and I can not be happier with it. I have been wanting to own a Subaru for sometime and visited this dealer once in 2017, during that visit I didn't find what I wanted and never was I forced or pushed to buy. I returned a year later and spoke with John who practiced the same concept of not pressuring me into a sale. I test drove a car I liked it and John was willing to let me walk away and even call me back if that car was sold and find the right fit for me (color, trim, etc). I appreciated how straight-forward John was in the transaction and felt comfortable in all my choices. I had just as good an experience with Lisa who explained everything I was purchasing with my warranty. I definitely recommend Mastro to you.

After researching cars online for several months, I narrowed my search to a Subaru. Luckily I was referred to Mastro. I emailed and texted with Candy before stopping in and honestly just stopped to narrow down my choices between a Forester and an Outback. I ended up leaving with a 2019 Forester and I could not be happier! I was helped by Candy, Thompson, Sean and Julio while I was there and they were all great. There is a real family feel to the dealership. Not at all high pressure and I got the feeling that they genuinely wanted to find the perfect car for me. They also gave me a very fair offer for my trade and offered me a great deal on the car. I am not a negotiator and do not enjoy that process but after months of research, I knew it was a great deal. I would highly recommend the dealership and after less than a week with my new car would recommend the 2019 Forester to anyone.

I was referred to Julio, by a dear church-family friend. I had no idea that the car buying process could be so seamless, painless, worry free. I was greeted and treated like family. (Not the kind that you have to deal with, but the ones you actually like and haven't seen in a while). While Julio was busy preparing my paperwork and working with several other "friends", I was able to talk with a "sister in Subaru" (she was on her 4th one). I needed to know what kept pulling her coming back to Subaru. -but back to Julio, when I say, he pulled no punches. There was no bait and switch. If I asked for the impossible, he made it happen anyway. The price was the price and that was it. He took the time to explain every coverage option, everything that was included with the purchase of this Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle. I don't know if you get to read this, but Thank you so much, Julio, for your prayers and your service. ...and that was just finance! I found this Forester online that I liked, and had many of the options that I wanted. So Julio asked John to pull it off the lot, so together, they can look at it, BEFORE I got there!!! Who does that?!! (They do!! that's who!!) When I did arrive, John got keys and a tag and went with me for a test drive. We had such a good time talking that I forgot to test the sound system. (Lemme wrap this up) I had to leave and think about what just happened to my life... I don't know what I was thinking, but I wasn't expecting to be treated like long lost family from the time I entered to the time I left. John even picked me up, in my car, at my house, on purchase day!! That was a super great surprise! He wanted me to see what it'll look like when it comes home. John, thank you so much for taking great care of me. You guys have inherited a new little sister!!!

So our intentions were to be "only looking" at the Subaru Crosstrek. We were greeted by one of the managers and he directed us to Yvonne Peterson. She was patient with answering our questions and showed us the features of the various trims and allowed my wife to drive a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek. Yvonne is the type of person one feels comfortable with within a short time. She is experienced. At no time did we feel pressured by her or anyone at the dealership. She spent a lot of time with us (~4 hours) and we ended up purchasing the car. Although no haggling, they had a good price on the car and it was below sticker price. I felt we had a better experience here than another Subaru dealership in Tampa where we purchased my son's 2017 Subaru Impreza. Also dealt with Andre Selec the financial manager, who again did not pressure us when it came to getting warrantee information. Overall a great no pressure experience and yes I would return to buy a car from them again.

I had been researching new cars as the time was coming when I would need a new one. Planned on visiting 4 or 5 different dealers for test drives and to ask questions. After being underwhelmed at the first dealer, on a whim, I stopped at Fitzgerald Countryside (which was on my list) and it was my last stop. Best impulse move I have ever made! Such a positive experience! I was walking around the parking lot looking at my preferred vehicle and color when Rudin Peqini came and introduced himself. He listened patiently to my long ramble, processed the important points and suggested a car I hadn't seen. It was perfect! He's good!! I delayed the test drive as it was getting late and I wanted to drive in the daylight so I could concentrate on the car. Happy I did. Drove it a day later and bought it. The car was already detailed so there was no delay. The buying process is absolutely no pressure, no cajoling, no haggling and I felt that I drove away with the best deal I could have made. Rudin made sure at every step of the way that I understood exactly what I was getting and assured me over and over that I was free to call him or come by if there was any sort of problem. His patience is legendary as I asked him several times to explain the warranty. I couldn't believe how thorough and comprehensive it was. It was as though he was taking care of a family member. Rudin Peqini is definitely an asset to the dealership! The closing of the purchase was smooth and enjoyable. Alec Selec is through, personable and a pleasure to do business with. He offered some extras which I declined and there was no pressure or persuading. He is respectful of your decision. Another great asset. So, with all this gushing, I guess you know I LOVE this dealership. I held off buying a new car because of past experiences. Never again!! Fitzgerald Countryside has my business and, hopefully, the business of anyone I talk to. They are the top of the line!

We purchased a 2017 Subaru Outback and our sales person was Any Stahl. From the beginning we loved the no haggle...let the Subaru sell itself approach. Andy was informative, kind, caring and was a pleasure to work with. He showed us the Outback we eventually purchased. He made the entire process painless and pleasing. From George to Corinna everyone experienced was wonderful to work with even the sales person (whose name I didn't get) who tried to sell us a new CrossTrek when he saw us sitting in it as we were waiting for some paperwork to be processed was kind and seemed to genuinely care about what we were doing. We will definitely recommend Fitzgerald Subaru, Andy, George and Corinna to our friends and family. Thank you for making this experience a pleasant one. Jim and Deborah Yerman... and to say it another way: We came to buy a Subaru where we met Andy Stahl Who showed us the new Outback???and didn???t haggle us at all. He showed us the Premier edition???with so many things displayed in??? And even gave us a fair price???on the car we came to trade in. Everyone was wonderful???George and Corinna too And we will have no trouble???recommending Fitzgerald Subaru. :)

I recently bought a 2018 Subaru Outback from Fitzgerald's Countryside Subaru. My sales associate was Louis Fragoso. Louis was extremely courteous, knowledgeable and professional. He took the time to discuss all of the features of each Outback's package with me on more than one occasion. He made me feel like a valuable customer and even honored a lower price for my vehicle based on information from another dealer. I cannot say enough positive things about Louis or his manager, Corinna. Thanks for making this such an easy and transparent car buying experience!

I met Andy and Nick just after graduating HS, and while they always raved about Subaru, it wasn't until 8 years later that I purchased my very first Subaru from them. Now I'm on my second. I stopped by in November during service on my previous Subaru, saw the Forester and after not being pressured or discouraged to test drive other SUVs, I told Andy I would be back for that exact car in the show room. At the time I was out on maternity leave and wanted to wait till I returned back to work. He never called to hassle me, he waited till I was ready. 3 months later I returned ready, informed him of which model I wanted, and with the help of Nick on the lookout, he called each time they got a vehicle that matched my criteria. About one week later I left Fitz with the same car I saw in the show room. The day before purchasing Corinna called to help me out with my credit application so I wouldn't be waiting the next day. On the day of purchase Andy and Rick worked together to get me in and out with a great deal, no haggling, stress free!

After years of Hondas, finally listened to CR reviews and went with the Forester their top rated suv for years and the difference is night and day. Safety, all wheel drive, with engine and transmission that is not reinvented each year like Honda. Subaru improves upon proven engines, transmissions and electronics each year! George Hios our Sales Manager laid out everything and worked with Rudin Pequini our Sales Consultant to give us the best experience purchashing a car we have ever had. Honest and helpful from start to finish! Rick in F& I finished all paperwork professionally -no surprises! Told George and Rudin we will be sending our daughter in for her next suv in June.

This dealership is amazing! We went into look, Phil showed around the lot. We found what we wanted test drove, made the deal and done. No pressure no hassle no back and forth with the manager. Was wonderful! I thank Phil for my wonderful new Crosstrek and Rick for the speed of getting all the paperwork signed and done. (I hate buying cars) but Fitzgerald is ...like I said..amazing Thanks Phil! Randy

We are always anxious to visit any new or unknown dealership due to pressure technique, but not at this place.We were put to ease from the beginning. Louis and the staff very friendly and no pressure at all. Pricing was very transparent and no hidden add on .Trade- in process was very relaxed and all the detail was easy to understand. Our salesperson, Louis Fragoso was very patient with us and took time to explain in simple easy to understand language.

We did our homework before going to the the dealership. We knew exzactly what we wanted and found it there. After looking at several models of suv's we decided we wanted a Forester. We had reviewed the consumer reports artical and felt the Subaru would be a good fit for us. The size of the Forester was perfect. First we had wanted the Jasmine green color but changed our mines after we saw the charcoal color we selected.

Mike Hendry outstanding in all areas covered. Same for Albert, financial department. Both folks guided and answered questions as the experience proceeded. Bottom line, for me, a total satisfactory visit. Thanks Mike and Albert.. Jack Rudy.........

Jose was extremely helpful. The dealership had just what we were looking for (a low mileage preowned Forester) and we would go back. Would recommend to others.

Every time I call I get the best customer service ! I work for a City Fleet Department , we have to call often and evertume Bill is so accommodating, friendly and tries to work within our timeframe. Just super Service Department

Thanks Carl for giving us best service. This is the 4th car my family bought from him. Carl's knowledge of car is exceptional and has explained thoroughly about car before I drove out the dealership.

the service and courteous attention to all my questions was much appreciated. The lack of salesman pressure made buying a car enjoyable. Andy was a joy to have as my salesman. He spent all the time needed to make sure I had all my questions answered. He helped me transfer all my cars stuff into the new Subaru.

Was impress with the service and how we were received and service which was for a recall was taken care of. I was called when the service would be completed and received a telephone call as well, an email regarding the service. I would highly recommend this business.

I came in just to"look" at what Subaru was offering. I was on my way to the Mitsubishi dealer where I THOUGHT I was buying a new vehicle😊. Tony came out and showed me models. What I loved most was his calm..very "unsalesman" personality. I didn't feel pressured. And drove out in a 2018 Forester!

We drove 2 hours to get to this dealership and it was well worth the drive. We originally came to buy a Forester XT and drove home with an Ascent Touring. We could not be happier. The dealership was clean and spacious. Our salesman, Troy, was amazing, kind, compassionate, and caring. We are so grateful we got set-up with him. He could not have been any more accommodating and just a wonderful guy all-around. He went above and beyond that day and the days after too. He even called to check and made sure that we made it home safely since we left the dealership at around 8pm and had a long drive home. We had some paperwork to finish up in the days following our visit and he drove to our house, 2 hours away and on a Sunday morning, so we would not have to drive back there. Troy is an asset to the Subaru team and someone we'd refer anyone too. He is officially our Subaru guy! I want to mention Sher as well. She was as equally as wonderful to work with. She took care of us the day before and set us up with Troy. She visited with us throughout our visit and made things go smoothly. Hold onto Sher, she is wonderful too!
