Great easy car transaction. Talked with Steve Van Brasch over phone from Bend, Oregon and bought over phone. When I arrived a day later at dealership he greeted me and just came in and did paperwork. Steve was very nice and easy to deal with. Fair deal on car. Would recommend buying from here. I have purchased many cars from dealers and this by far was the best. Better than my previous posts on any others by far.
2019 Subaru Forester Premium Review
leased 7 of them. never had a problem.

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.
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.
Norma Hagen, the agent who got me checked in for my airbag replacement, was helpful, kind, personable and knowledgeable. She made the process easy and painless. The work was done so quickly that I scarcely had time to drink a cup of coffee before my car was ready! And the free car wash is great.

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
Had my Yaris serviced last week and as is true every time, the experience was superb. A special thanks to Carrie Bates who always insures my satisfaction, since I tend to be very picky. This is such a professional facility and I would not take my car anywhere else. In addition, I find the prices very reasonable, especially given the work performed.

Great car!

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.
Recently, I had the pleasure of working with Paul Casey of Kendall Auto Eugene, OR! He literally helped make my dreams come true. Since I was a young teenager, just getting into cars with my older brother, I've always dreamed of being a proud owner of a Honda Civic Type R. Back in the 90's, the only one available to the North American market was the Acura Integra Type R. But unfortunately, I was late to jump on that due to being young and having much less finances then today. Fast forward to today and finally we, North American population, have been given the rare chance to own a 2017-2018 Honda Civic Type R Touring after 25 years of its existence. This wasn't some impulse buy (actually took in total 1.5 months between research, locating and waiting for its arrival due to being in transit) but rather me wanting to own a piece of history. So, I searched for approximately 3 week all over the nation. I had spoken to Paul early on but the Type R they were getting had been spoken for. So I continued my search. And just before I was about to make a deal, not one I was totally excited about, Paul calls me and says the original buyer of the Type R they were about to receive backed out. And so the offer went to me as I was next in line. Long story short, the entire process with Paul from start to finish was smooth. This was by far the BEST experience I've ever had when purchasing a car. Paul is very professional, knows his cars, communicates effectively with texts and updates, is honest. Even though this particular dealership is just over 100 mi away, I would not hesitate to call him up and purchase something else in the future if I ever needed to. HE IS THAT GOOD!!! Thank you Paul and the rest of the Kendall Honda team for making my daily commute to work/weekends so very awesome!!!

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.
Always have a good experience at this dealership. Bought a truck with oil change package and now bring all my vehicles here for service. Great crew, love the popcorn.

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 LOVE having our oil changes and service at Lithia Toyota in Springfield! Alice just has a way of treating every customer with courtesy and caring. And Matt keeps that same top service going when we get Saturday service. Some places might hit this high level occasionally, but this place gets it right every time!

Great dependable cars...I have one with 265K on it and as soon as I have the radiator replaced I will give to the grandkids. Comment
I went to the dealer with my dad to purchase my first car. Tim Coultrup helped my dad and I find a reliable used car within our budget. He was friendly, understandable & made the car buying experience very fun. I would highly recommend Toyota Lithia of Springfield to anyone & if you could ask for Tim I would :)

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).
Love Singh was our salesman. No pressure and he KNEW about the cars he is selling, every button, gauge, lever. He knows what he is doing and does it well.

This car its all we were expecting. A lot of space in the back . Its perfect for families. I just loved everything off it.
We bought our 2017 Honda CRV from Kendall through Jason Lang their internet sales manager. I got 6 bids from different dealerships all via the internet (including one through Costco) and Kendall was the lowest I found. Jason was very responsive to all my inquiries and picking up the car was a positive experience. Jason spent like 30 minutes showing us the various features of the car and how to use them. Overall I would highly rate Kendall Honda and Jason.

I feel comfortable and safe in the car, great visibility. The car handles extremely well in the snow, probably improve even more when I get snow tires. I like the exterior styling and open visibility, all around.
We worked with Andrew who is a very knowledgeable and helpful person. He is low pressure and very patient. Once I had chosen a car the purchasing process was as quick as it can be, although they offered add-ons there was no pressure to purchase them. They also facilitated my loan through a Local Credit Union. I recommend the company and and Andrew 100%

Excellent performer in bad weather. Has a terrific ride & it is very comfortable on long trips & can swallows all your gear. This is my go to vehicle for road trips
Great place to deal with. We just got done with a chapter 13 bankruptcy and needed another car really bad. I didn?t think they would be able to help but I called and tried anyway. Our salesman Jed was fantastic he was able to get us approved with the payment we needed with no hassle. We drove 60 miles the next day to get our car. I will be returning in The future to buy another car from Jed.

This car does meet all my needs, and I am very happy wit the car for now. I am asking for 2,900 hundred now, because I think that is fair for both parties involved. Come check it out, and see for yourself!
My husband and I went to Kendall Toyota last month in search of a new car. We encountered a friendly, professional team and enjoyed the process much more than we expected! Chad Satterfield in particular was extremely knowledgeable and patient with us. It took me a few weeks to narrow in on a car, and Chad was there every step of the way answering our questions and reaching out, but never being pushy. We are now the owners of a 2016 Scion that we are loving, and I would happily recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a car! Thanks again for all your hard work finding us the perfect car, Chad!
Also thanks to Cody the finance manager for walking us through the final steps when our company was being a little challenging! He knew exactly what to do and made the final steps so much smoother! Great team!

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.
Rose Campbell and Miranda were prepared, patient, and highly efficient.
The warranty call was smooth and all my questions answered professionally. I could not be happier. The appointment was on time.
The employees are an asset to Kendall Ford.

Only owned it two days but so far really like it a lot! Look forward to many years of use from the Subaru Forester! Great
Kendall offers 5+ service. It begins when someone opens the door for you and asks how they may assist you. The sales person, Jerry Thompson was just wonderful and patient and was able to work out a financial package I could work with.

Subaru made this car to last! I expect to have it another 10 years. Buy a used one if you can find one. Not as good gas mileage as the newer ones but solidly built
This was the least pressured sales of any car we have purchased in the past. Salesperson Love Singh was very knowledgable, extremely patient with our questions and totally enjoyable. We had limited contact with a manager and a guy at parts /service counter and both were very nice also. It seemed people were happy working at that Dealership. We had done our research, knew what we were hoping to find and the car is perfect!

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.
The showroom was too noisy. There is a lot of waiting time when actually going through the buying process. The background noise in the showroom really got to be annoying. I had to contact the credit agency to remove a credit freeze; the background noise was so loud it interfered with the telephone call.

This model of subi has been great, outside of the factory warranty 2.5L engine replacement. Quick and responsive with the 5 speed. The automatic leaves a bit to be desired. Almost 9 inches of ground clearance is Jeep territory and the AWD system inspires confidence in rain, snow and mud.
