Ken Ganley Kia Medina review

Excellent service department and customer service.

By Lori Ruh from Seville, OH

Excellent service department and customer service. Very personable and answered questions in a way I could understand. Make suggestions, but was not pushy when I did not take all of the services recommended.

2021 Subaru Forester Base (CVT) review

Other than battery replacement , car has been amazing !

July 8, 2025
By James Maguire from Roanoke,VA.
Owns this car

Other than battery replacement , car has been amazing ! 1 exception cup holders are located too far aft and require driver to look down to locate cup without removing eyes from road ! This issue has been partially addressed in later years by offsetting passengers holder slightly forward of drivers, but still awkward position ! both should be more forward nearer to dash !

There are 2 matching cars close to your year range.
