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.
Nick Tamaras was a great salesman. Very accommodating and he made the leasing process for my new CRV easy and enjoyable. Thank you !!

Best car for everyday driving in the PNW

The best example of why I love this car: passing all the stuck in the snow giant four wheel drive trucks in the parking lot at work to easily park and leave as well. Bravo Subaru
My experience was great! The salesperson was very helpful and answered all of my questions. When I took the car back for the installation of fog lights, they provided a loaner car that was already warmed up and ready to go. They even corrected a typographical error on my registration certificate that had existed since we bought a car at another dealership 18 years ago!

My 2nd Subaru Forester
by Dave in Mansfield from Mansfield, TXD

My 1st Forester is a 2009 turbocharged model which is still going strong with 110,000 miles. The newer Foresters offer safety and convenience features mine doesn't have so I decided to upgrade. The 2019 Forester no longer offers the turbocharged version so I opted for a certified pre-owned 2018 XT Touring which has a turbocharger. I love the vehicle but because the turbo is no longer available, the used turbo versions have become quite pricey. I am keeping the old one for hauling dogs, lawn equipment and towing my utility trailer. The new one will be just for people for now.
The vehicle is just the right size. I am 6'4" and would appreciate a little more leg room and thigh support but the Forester is as comfortable as any other small SUV I checked. There is plenty of headroom. The turbo does require premium fuel and has a lower mileage rating. With the turbo and sports tuned suspension, it is a fun vehicle to drive and worth the money to me. In over 10 years, the older one left me stranded only once when a drive belt broke after 100,000 miles. Based on reviews, I expect the same reliability from the newer one.
As a female car buyer, I am ALWAYS a little intimidated walking into a car dealership, but Matthews Kia was VERY welcoming. I was greeted at the door and invited to look around at my leisure. Polite sakes staff would check in with me and ask about what I wanted. They never tried to steer me into something I wasn't asking about. I would highly recommend them.

Great car, but battery died after 6 months and Bloomington Subaru didn't make it easy to get it replaced. This is a known issue with Foresters.

I just bought my second car from matthews: J. R. Heeter being my salesman each time. My first purchase was a brand new Mazda cx5.. LOVE my Mazda.. J.R.was so nice to work with, no pressure, and everything was so easy ! For over a year he looked for a Mustang for me. He texted me when he thought he might have one, and also occasionly just to say Hi! In March he told me he had 2 Mustangs. I sat in the 2015 beautiful black Mustang, but it wasn't what I was looking for. Then he showed me a gorgeous 2006 Mustang GT with very low miles . I heard the roar of the engine and fell in love with the car!! Again, there was no pressure from J.R., just friendly and very helpful! There were a few minor flaws in the exterior, which Mike Savage graciously agreed to fix( at NO cost to me).. I had told them I wanted to take the car to shows. J.R. and Cinnamon( in the financial office) made everything happen so easily, and I am the proud owner of my dream Mustang!! At my second car show I won " Best Muscle Car" trophy!! I can't thank all of you enough for not only selling me a gorgeous car, but for making my dream a reality!! J.R. Heeter and everyone at Matthews treat you like a friend of the family! I drive from Oneonta , and it is well worth the drive!!
I have been a client of the Matthews Auto group for eighteen years. I have always been met with professional and courteous service on every level. I was in the market for a new vehicle. After talking with Mike McNeal and Marvin Potter, I chose a 2018 Outback. I have never owned a vehicle that 'fit me' more than this one. I've always had a great experience at the Subaru store. They are family and treat you as such. Great people, ethical business practices and coffee, tea, soda or water. All with a smile and a hug Thank you.
We purchased a 2015 Mazda and drove it for year and found it just wasn't right for us. JR Heeter helped us to get a great trade in and we got a new forester. We love it. The new facilities are wonderful but it is so great to work with friendly, knowledgeable people wo don't try to push you into buying anything but just get you a car that is right for you.
I purchased a 2011 Honda CRV in October. Both Brent and Chris were amazing!! Brent was extremely helpful during the sale and with financing and Chris was fantastic with his follow up care! I was able to drive off the lot with my car the same day I test drove it! There was a small chip in the paint before purchase. Brent ordered the match paint from the Honda dealership and helped to repair the paint when it came in. After my warranty was up I realized my battery was weak. I called Chris and he was more then helpful in the replacement of the battery making sure it was replaced the same day as my call. I am more then pleased with my car and the service I received!! I would (and have already been) recommending east coast motors to anyone!

The car of the PNW for a reason

Solid and reliable car. You can take this car anywhere, whether up to the mountains or off the beaten path. Its comfortable and named CCR small SUV champion. It succeeds by focusing on the fundamentals with a space-efficient design, large windows, and big square doors. The result is the easiest access and the best view out of almost any vehicle tested. It also has one of the roomiest rear seats with copious amounts of head and leg room.
It adapts various fuel-efficient technologies, including replacing the antiquated four-speed automatic transmission with a new continuously variable transmission (CVT), the Forester delivers quicker acceleration, as well as a class-leading 26 mpg overall and 35 mpg on the highway in our tests making it a solid adventure SUV or commuter.
We bought a Honda Odyssey and we were amazed at the customer service at East Coast Motors. The owner, Chris Van Housen, went out of his way to be reachable at any time, even outside of his working hours, and he stood by his product. When we found a problem with the power doors after buying the vehicle, East Coast Motors went above and beyond to make sure the problem was addressed at no expense to us. Overall, the experience of working with Chris and buying the car was great!

Almost 5 yrs still very happy with safety and fun

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!!
Ashley was amazing and incredibly helpful! Made me feel welcome, was very knowledgeable, and made the process extremely easy! After having a bad experience with the first car I bought from a different dealership I was nervous about doing it again but she made it a great experience, and I am so glad it was her I dealt with!

I like this vehicle except for the engine shutting off when stopped. it does have an override switch, but if I forget to set it the engine will automatically shut off. that's the only thing I don't like about this car.
Katelyn made my experience at Gault amazing. She is very friendly and helpful and goes out of her way to make you comfortable. This is my 1st new car and katelyn made sure I got everything I wanted (and more) in a price range I could afford. Love my new car and love Gault! Love katelyn too!

The best car I have ever owned

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.
This was the first car I bought after graduation. My parents have bought a few cars from Debbie and she always takes care of them. The service was excellent and Debbie was incredibly helpful. I will recommend her to friends & family in the future!

A terrific combination

This car is perfect for me. It combines comfort, reliability, styling and exceptional performance on all types of roads. I have the Touring turbo model which is very quick off the line and hustles down the road easily when prodded. Combine all of that with the practicality of an SUV and you can understand why I am in love with it. I prefer to drive it over my other car (which I also love), a 3 series BMW, because it is as quick but much more versatile.
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 emailed Greg about an 06 Honda Pilot on a Saturday or Sunday, heard back from him Monday via phone call, and we set up for me to look at after the dealerships hours to check it out. Test drove it, and came back the next day and drove it off the lot, again after hours. Greg was really accommodating with flexible hours, a great price on the super clean vehicle, and did me a few favors to ensure a quick process that Thursday night. When the time comes for a new car, and if Greg has a vehicle I'm interested in, I wouldn't hesitate a bit to buy here again.

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.
Greg has been great to work with. We've now purchased two used cars from him, a Honda CRV in June 2016 and a VW Jetta in Nov 2017. Both purchases were easy and efficiently handled by Greg, and any lingering issues with the vehicles uncovered after the sale were quickly resolved by Greg, including paying for any service required. We recommend Greg to anyone looking for a clean used car.

Not a big fan of 7" screens you can't turn off, or that squirrelly feeling when in a cross wind.
Thank god this has nither issue.
Love the moon roof, the heated seats, the night vision is dead on. The cd player is nice maybe dated but nice. Its more a suv then the older models- not sure if that's good or bad depending on your take i guess.
If you're looking for a car/truck ONLY GO HERE!!! Don't waste your time going anywhere else! Coming to Greg's was the best experience i've ever had buying a car! Him and his son work there and are two of the most upfront and honest people i have ever met! If you come here you will not regret it! Greg made sure that the car i purchased was clean and whatever repairs needed to be done were done. Saying that I love this place is seriously an understatement! BEST PLACE TO BUY A VEHICLE!!! Shoutout to Greg and Josh because i know you're reading this... Thank you so much and we could not be happier with our purchase and everything you guys helped us with!

This car meets and exceeds all of my needs. I looked an numerous wagon-like models, because my old car was . VW Passat wagon. I looked at the Outback and the Forester, and immediately chose the Forester because of the feeling of space (more head room, bigger windows, and the moon roof).
It was fantastic from start to finish! I looked on line , inquired, test drove and was hooked-- my credit wasn't the greatest and Kevin made sure I was approved and my payments are amazing! I was soo excited and happy with my overall process through this dealership! I will go back again!!
LOVE my 2014 FORD FIESTA!!!

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 bought my 2014 Mazda CX-5 from East Coast Motors two years ago. Chris and his team were great and I have been thrilled with my "new" car. When it was hit by another car this winter, my local mechanic had no luck mediating the damage. I was visiting the Binghamton area last week and mentioned the damage to Chris. He immediately said, "Bring it in. We'll see what we can do."
Ilya is a magician!!! You would have to look very hard to know that the car was ever damaged.
Brent, Ilya, Chris and the East Coast Motors team are dedicated professionals who put customers first!! From purchase to service there is nothing they can't do!! I will never buy from another dealer again. East Coast Motors has a customer for life! I suggest them to any one who mentions they are looking for a car.

Forester fell short in the cargo area

I loved the look of the Forester. I also liked the way it drove. I had to not get the Forester because when you fold down the back seats there is about a six inch hump . This as going to cause problems hauling items. There was also a good bit of space between the front seat and the folded down seats even if you moved the front seats all the way back.
Quick and fine / no problems. I have a new grandchild ands HAD a Scion TC. Way too small - couldn't even fit in a car seat. This Soul fit my needs - good height too. No problems so far...
