I had an excellent experience working with Paolo during
I had an excellent experience working with Paolo during the purchase of my Chevrolet Equinox EV. From the very beginning, he was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely helpful. He took the time to answer all my questions, guided me through every step of the process, and made sure I felt confident in my decision. Paolo went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly, and I truly appreciate his professionalism and dedication. If you?re looking for a reliable and supportive salesperson, I highly recommend asking for Paolo!
Good cornering and visibility. Sportily boxy.
I like the solid feel of the car and the sturdy and high ride. Good acceleration. It would be a better SUV if the ground clearance was at least 10” or 12”, with the exhaust pipe properly tucked away!

Bill Wilson, he was a pleasure to work with
Bill was outstanding. Never felt pressured and was very patient. Would highly recommend him for your auto buying needs. Bill takes away all the negative things associated with the car buying process.
Spontaneous windshield explosion!
Spontaneous windshield cracked to 2 1/2 feet in just seconds! No stones seen, without warning, bang. The part cost $850.00 more for eye-sight calibration! Subaru dealer said total cost, around $2000!

Great experience with GG/Mr.
Great experience with GG/Mr. Griffin. Would buy from him again and recommend him to all!
The BEST.
One of the best cars I have ever owned. It drives like a dream, has more get-up-and-go then I ever thought a 4 cyl. could have. I make a 3000 miles trip from Texas to Utah in may and averaged 34 miles per gallon. I would recommend them to everyone.

I am a long-time Nissan owner.
I am a long-time Nissan owner. I purchased my most recent Nissan Rogue SL AWD with Countryside Nissan & I will never go anywhere else! As a woman, honesty & integrity are so important when I choose a dealership. Everyone here is so friendly, honest, & professional. They are willing to work for YOU! Fast appointment scheduling, prompt service, and an update video from your technician is sent to you while you wait. Steve was very thorough in his video. Excellent Team here! Sales rep John & finance managers Tim & Tom are top notch. Diego & Uvaldo in service go above & beyond always, BJ the service manager is very helpful, & everything is always smooth. Highly recommend Countryside Nissan! ☆☆☆☆☆
subaru forester i got this car from idealauto
[Most satisfied] All imported, all full-time four-wheel drive, horizontally opposed engine. [Most dissatisfied] The car system is too old. Without Carplay, Carlife is also more laggy. [Space] The wheelbase is 2670, and I sit at 1.78 in the front, so there is enough space in the back and plenty of space in the trunk. [Power] It is very easy to overtake within 0-100. [Control] The horizontally opposed engine is blessed with full-time four-wheel drive, and it drives like a car. Braking performance: The automatic brake is a bit sensitive, [fuel consumption] It has only driven more than 300 kilometers. At high speed, the fuel consumption is 12L. Everyone said that if it is within 10, it will fall off after going out for a self-driving tour and running at high speed in the later period.i got this car from idealauto last year ,that was a marvelous experience . that dealer so reliable .

Car drop off for maintenance and repair was very convenient. No appointments needed. Work completed on time. Precise and accurate paper works with recommended maintenance.

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 !

Richard is fabulous!
Richard was extremely friendly and helpful in assisting me with questions I had regarding the many beautiful luxury sedans I had been inquiring about. He went above and beyond with his time, was very respectful and easy to talk to. For that I'm giving HIM 5 stars! He made us feel like family. It was an overall positive experience with him. Kudos to you Richard, you have a fantastic personality! :)
