Used Subaru Forester for Sale in Kennesaw, GA

I'd driven the same car since I was 16 (I'm 25) - an old model Tahoe, which I loved. Then I got in a fender bender. Because the car was old, had 200,000+ miles and some other body damage, insurance totaled it. So I'm driving around in this crappy little Fiat rental, and suddenly I have a very small window to find a new car. I wanted something with low milage, AWD/4WD for off-road, but with good mpg (I live in Virginia Highlands & work in downtown Atlanta). Subaru's basically the only make for it. So I decided on a 2012-2014 Crosstrek with 30k miles. I researched and found several in the area. The lowest price point by far was at Atlanta Luxury Motors in Kennesaw, so low in fact, I was sure there was a catch. I called to schedule a drive for a 2013 Crosstrek. Randomly, a man called Oscar answered there. I can't describe how fortuitous this was. Oscar Bryant is not just a good salesman (which he is). He is good people. This was my first time buying a car, ever. I was nervous, skeptical, steeling myself for a tough experience. TV has created the trope of the used car salesman as the epitome of sleaze. Oscar defies this. In short, there was no catch. Even my dad, who helped me through the process, and who is a hard case when it comes to salesman (he's been a salesman himself for 40+ years) was pleased and even impressed (I don't say that lightly) with the process. Genuine 5 stars across the board. Seriously, a pleasure to buy a car up at ALM Kennesaw, and if you call, ask for Oscar.

The Subaru manufacturer produces top quality cars at common man prices. My used 2016 Forester 2.5i is a base trim model, however, it has what I really need in a car without the up charge. The engine is well sized for the the vehicle; it is paired with a CVT transmission. The combined effect is that with little pressure on the gas peddle, the car springs into action. (No more holding up the line when the light turns green.) Last weekend I took the car on a camping trip. Some of the roads of the campground were muddy and uneven with 2 inch stones. The high suspension and symmetric 4 wheel drive of the Forester handled the roads effortlessly. On the highway to and from the campground, the Forester was a smooth well handling ride, even over the winter torn roads. There is plenty of torque at highway speeds for highway acceleration. The cabin interior layout places the major controls at easy reach. The operation of the infotainment system is reasonably user friendly, and there are quick controls on the steering column. In summary, my Subaru Forester is is a well equipment, quality vehicle, especially considering it is the entry model. Based on Consumer Reports I expect a long and trouble free (reliable) service life. Good quality, reliable, reasonable price = valve, value, value.

I???ve been researching the Subaru Outback for some time. Ex-Volvo guy looking for a wagon with the market offering limited options. I had just got out of a BMW 3 series wagon, but it did meet all my requirements; a wagon with ground clearance and a great safety record. That lease was over and I was back in the market for a new car. The VW Alltrack caught my eye, a wagon with some ground clearance. I went on a test drive and soon realized it was not the car for me. I was going to drive home and saw Kennesaw Subaru across the street. I decided to pull in and was greeted by Ralph Kurland. As opposed to a car salesman, he was a Subaru ???aficionado???, and knew the product extremely well. Ralph asked a few basic questions and narrowed down the trim to the 2.5 Limited ??? ???L??? for leather as Ralph said. Before the test drive, Ralph did a quick overview of all the options the car had. During the test drive, Ralph pointed out features that could only be experience while driving. He discussed how some of the safety features in the car were also in the Subies both he and his wife drove. Before the test drive was over, I knew I wanted to buy the car, but did not want to show all my cards. I was ready for the hard negotiation. First, the car did not come with LED headlights standard on the Limited. Ralph soon found it on the lot. Ok, this it, all check marks were checked. Ralph then started the negotiation process. Surprisingly enough, there were no games, tricks or gimmicks. Great financing, and no back and forth with the finance manager. I was happy with the price and the product, and pulled the trigger. To say that I bought the car because of Ralph is an understatement. I???ve bought quite a few cars in my lifetime, but the experience with Ralph has erased years of bad experience with other dealers and car brands. While you may want to buy the car online, it???s worth your while to step into the Kennesaw Subaru dealership to see the product and have Ralph Kurland talk about the car. He???s passionate about the product, the brand, and his job. I now understand why people love Subaru???s ??? I???m a convert.

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 placed a call to ALM-Kennesaw earlier this month, and was pleasantly greeted by Oscar. I told him I was interested in a 2016 Acura RDX I had seen online that was at their dealership. My name is Rhonda, and it has been a few years since I tried to negotiate for a car, so I just threw out a number I wanted to work towards. Oscar didn???t hesitate to consult with his General Manager to work for me. I would say less than a week later, my son, Matt and myself were sitting at Oscar???s desk completing my deal! Now, I was glad Matt was with me, as he noticed something that needed to be addressed, and again, Oscar enlisted management, and the issue was resolved with no reservation. So, I am now the proud owner of this Acura RDX! I must add that Oscar was very personable, he and Matt got to talk Football! Always a plus! I know if I have any questions, Oscar and the staff at ALM-Kennesaw will assist me, thank you, I will certainly recommend you to my car buying friends.

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.

This is my honest review, i haven't been paid or coerced, Lol. The customer service here SERIOUSLY impressed me!! My experience with Marietta Auto Sales started with my test drive with Anthony (Hayes). He was super friendly and personable and answered all my questions about the 2013 Nissan Altima Coupe I wanted to purchase. He wasn't pushy or car salesy, just cool and patient. I did a test drive right before leaving for a week-long vacation and, unlike every SINGLE other car dealership I visited before my vacation, Anthony didnt call and text me 50 million times a day bugging me about when I'd come back in. He respected my time and didnt push. When I came back, I requested a pre-purchase inspection, brought it back, and there was a small hiccup but Anthony was out sick so i spoke with another salesperson who turned me ALL THE WAY OFF with his indifference and lack of good customer service. Like, I told him to give me my check back and was prepared to walk out. Luckily, I was able to speak with Sedric, the business manager, before i left and he addressed my concerns calmly and patiently. He could tell I was frustrated and really wanted to keep my business, which I appreciated SO MUCH. After that, the process of buying was incredibly smooth. Sedric promised to take care of the inspection issues personally, and have the car ready the very next day (today). He did exactly what he promised he would do, with the BEST attitude and customer service. I was ON FIRE when I sat down at his desk and he didnt even break a sweat, lol. (I HIGHLY recommend speaking with him if you run into any problems.) Picked up the car the next day, Anthony was back and got me in and out. I expected to be in the dealership forever, but he took care of my financing, kept the energy upbeat, answered every single one of my 7.8 million questions, and made sure I got exactly what i wanted. Communicative and funny and well-informed. Go straight to HIM when you go there, he's gonna take the best care of you. :) There was a small glitch in the process, but the way these guys turned a potentially bad experience around deserves 10 BIG STARS! Car buying is crazy stressful but I definitely made the right choice coming here, despite some of the bad experiences of others.

This car its all we were expecting. A lot of space in the back . Its perfect for families. I just loved everything off it.

I was apprehensive about buying from a small independent lot since I have always purchased new. This was especially true considering we were buying a car for our daughter's senior year in hs that would hopefully take her through her college years. We met with Tim after making an appointment to see a Pontiac g4. Once we got there we ended up looking at several cars since they had so many nice ones on the lot. we ended up with a Ford C-Max. much much more car than what I expected to get for the price I got it for. In fact it's nicer than my wife or my car are. My daughter loves it! They are knowledgeable and felt they were being completely honest with me at all times. Id recommend this place to anyone. The one thing I did not like was Tim would not negotiate the price of the car with me. However once I got home and looked up the vehicle I found out that it was four times more brand new so it was a good fair deal anyway.

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.

Everyone was easy to work with and had good hybrid selection. The prices are fair and more important, no dealership games. Took Prius to my mechanic before buying. After it checked out Tim was able to finalize paperwork in 20 mins.

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

I like this place first you can see all the details using the up to date website. David helped me choose the right car, take me old car and the deal was really good without the tricks nor the hassle that usually happen with the car dealers. I got the documents by mail in time, and everything run smooth. Thank you David, I will comeback for my next car.

This car is reliable, sturdy, comfortable and has many safety features. It still looks and drives like new after 2 years . Low maintenance and great gas mileage !

Lydell with the Robert Loehr Jeep dealership is amazing. The buying experience was excellent and the service since then has been perfect. I would and have recommended this dealership to all. My sister came and bought a new Jeep Compass just a few weeks after we bought this one for our daughter. Thanks Lydell!!!!!

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

My wife and I drove 360 miles to Sandy Springs, GA to buy a used convertible from Gravity Auto that we saw on line. The car was in great condition and was just as advertised, however in the end, it didn't fit our needs. While there, we looked around and we saw another convertible (2007) that had just come in and was not ready to be sold. We loved it immediately. Because we had come so far the Sales Manager gave us a good price and promised to inspect the vehicle and fix anything that needed attention. We put down a deposit and left. When I went back several days later to pick up the car it was immaculate. I looked over the vehicle and I was satisfied with the condition of the car, inside and out. They fixed every little thing I asked for. The Manager had told me that he would not let the vehicle leave the lot until I was satisfied. I was. I drove the vehicle 360 miles home and it purred like a kitten, everything worked and I am completely satisfied. We enjoyed working with the friendly sales team and with Mike, the Finance Director who did a great job. Thanks to everyone.

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.

Ammon is a terrific salesman and knows everything about the electronics and mechanics. Jose Rivera a tough, but fair negotiator. I'm very satisfied with the buying experience. Thank you gentlemen.

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.

I think I will forever be known as the customer that made VW stay open until 12:30 am on a Friday and if I could give a higher rating than 5 stars, I truly would. Before coming to this dealership, I called all the VW dealerships in GA looking for the 2019 VW Jetta R-Line and had no luck - it was a brand new car that no one had on the lot yet. My fate changed on May 18 when we got the call from this dealership that they JUST received one R-Line and we immediately made an appointment that day to come test drive it. Brian was our amazing sales person and it could not have been a better process. Brian really worked with me and the budget that was I was trying to stay within and I felt comfortable from the time I walked until the time that I left. I never felt pushed to buy a car and Brian never rushed me through the process - even as time was creeping into the 10 o' clock hour. It was the easiest and smoothest process. When it was time to move to the finance department and talk numbers, Michael was an absolute dream to work with. He laid everything out so that I could see what it would cost to keep my leased Jetta (that was WELL over the mileage) vs getting a new Jetta. He was open and honest and I cannot thank him enough for helping me through the car buying process. I know that everyone at this dealership is awesome, but I highly, highly recommend Brian and Michael. Thank you guys so much for all of your hard work and for staying open well past your closing time to make sure that I was satisfied and comfortable with the big decision I was making. This dealership struck gold with these two and I can confidently say I will not only be recommending everyone to this dealership, but returning to purchase future cars here!

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.

I wish there was a 10 star option for AX Auto. My wife and I drove from chattanooga, TN. We spend 2 days in Atlanta looking at 7 minivans, the second day we found AX Auto. We came knowing what we wanted and unlike other dealers they didn’t try to push into something more expensive or different than we had asked. Eric our salesman was both patient and considerate of our every request. He and his manager respected our wishes to think it over and 3 hours later we were able to drive off with a beautiful ( new to us) 2014 Honda Odyssey!!!

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

They had a 2017 BMW 750i listed for 73k 6 months ago about 6k cheaper than anyone else out there still to this day the car is worth more than i paid for and they never tried to "raise" the price they were very upfront and the car was just as they described and they have a very good selection going back for my next purchase.

Dream car.love it .plenty of space, comfortable, powerful vehicle as well. I see my self recommending the same vehicle to other ppeople as well.why not..?

I just purchased my vehicle here. They only keep nice cars on the lot. Everyone was nice and they're a very close-nit group of co-workers and all work well together. I absolutely love my car. The owner only keeps top notch cars here, so you'll get a great deal at this location. AX Auto in Atlanta, GA. I will definitely refer friends to this site. Lydia Woltz.

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.

I purchased my Jeep here & the service levels have always been great. Everyone is professsional & is quick to help. I brought the Jeep in for an oil change (which was covered under warranty) & asked for a tire rotation which was a little pricey ($29) & to change the air filter ($50!). $50 for an air filter change is too much for a product that costs $18 and took me, someone with an average level of car exp, around 15 minutes to change it myself. Which I happily did. Main point is that I would absolutely return to purchase another vehicle here in the future but once the warranty expires y???all have to have competitive prices for me to bring the Jeep for normal maintenance service. I get it, your a dealership, but maybe some costs need to be reviewed/adjusted in order to bring in more regular maintenance customers.

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

After meticulously searching through vehicles and many dealerships, I found the vehicle calling my name at ALM on 05/25. Anxiously, I went to the dealership that same day, met with sales lady Shanta who was absolutely AMAZING throughout the entire process :-)....she restored my faith in car salesmen again :-) She pulled up the vehicle I inquired about, we went for a test drive and I fell in love with the vehicle, but what was even more enjoyable about my car buying experience, is that Shanta wasn't being too aggressive or trying to get me to buy a car right then, and she actually advised me to sleep on my thoughts and let her know whatever I decide. Well...later that day, I made my decision, called Shanta and told her that I'm ready to make my purchase. She sent me the link to fill out the application, once I completed the application, I went back to the dealership the next day and was trading in my old car and driving away in my new Lexus in about 1.5hr and that is how I LOVE doing business. ALM has gained a new loyal customer. THANKS SO MUCH SHANTA for your professionalism, honesty, and awesome customer service :-)

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.

A bit of a drive for an oil change/tire rotation BUT I am never disappointed by this dealership???s customer service and service department. They gave me 50% off with a Back to School promotion, took me on in when ???Oops, my appointment is for tomorrow?!??? 😬, washed my car AND my rubber mats and had me out the door in about an hour. #GwinnettSubaru #BestSubaruDealershipinGeorgia

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.

From first contact with the dealership GM, all the way through to vehicle purchase, delivery and pickup, the experience was the most pleasant, professional, attentive and thorough I have ever had. Specifically, Ms. Kessler, Ms. Lewallen and Mr. Wilhite presented the truest expression of "team concept" when it came to handling my initial query, all the way through to purchase. This is the second Subaru purchased through Subaru of Gwinnett, and I am quite certain it will not be the last. I would be happy to go into greater detail about the overall OUTSTANDING experience via email or by calling me at 973 271 8815. JOB WELL DONE, Ms. Kessler and Team. Keep doing what you are doing! :-) Joe Donohue April 3, 2017

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.

Came into Subaru of Gwinnett for routine service on my 2017 Outback which I purchased from Subaru of Gwinnett 11/29/16. The Ascent car caught my eye and Mike Quigley in sales let me test drive the car, which I loved. Mike is very knowledgeable and no pressure sales tactics. I thought on it overnight and came in to buy it on Tuesday. I very much enjoyed the sale and know Mike will help with any questions I might have in future. The financial part went smooth with Lance Willhite and everything was explained so I didn???t have any questions. I???m so glad Herb Hoffman, manager set me up with the right people, it was such a pleasure buying this car. to finish my wonderful experience Alyssa Elery in service had a hitch installed and made sure everything was taken care of properly. she has always done a great job, I would not go to any other dealer.

Excellent vision in all directions from the Forester. We like the no non-sense styling of the Touring 2.5i. Easy to get into and out of which matters if getting a few years on you. Very good gas mileage and handling with excellent performance. The AWD is certainly one of many key selling points. Fit and finish is excellent with very good reliability so far. We think it is a excellent SUV and would definitely purchase another Subaru SUV if needed.

Very helpful and friendly staff. The answered all of my questions and made me feel secure about my selection.

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.
