November 28,2018...This was our 11th puchase/lease from Donaldson???s VW. The first 9 were Jetta???s or Golfs-stick one rabbit in there...the last 2 have been Tiguan leases.. I believe the last 5-6 have been arranged with Brad Drexler. Brad is professional, fair, honest, knowledgeable, and prompt. This experience and past experiences have been relaxed and easy. Donaldson???s is a family business and such all their customers are treated as part of the family. Our family is so appreciative of Brad and his quick and compassionate work and response when my daughters car was totaled (2 x...neither was her fault)...VW the safest cars around...thank you Donaldson???s for another great experience...and thank you Brad!

Let me start this review by saying that I've been a Subaru owner going on a decade and a half. That being said, I knew exactly what I wanted in my new WRX and searched far and wide to find it. Having abandoned almost all hope of finding a manual base model in WRB, short of ordering from my local dealer (where I was quoted a 3-4 month wait and having to pay the sticker price), I happened upon Premier's website after broadening my search. They had a 2017 WRX in WRB with two options: a vortex generator and a short throw shifter at over $1,300 and change below MSRP. Bear in mind this was one of about a dozen WRX and STI models they had listed, all below MSRP. After I decided to buy the car, my salesperson, Jeff, and the business manager, Rob, didnt try to push any extra warranties or "deals" beyond mentioning that they we were available. All in all, this was a great car buying experience and well worth the long drive.

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.

My husband told me about Carvana from a commercial ad he heard/saw. I laughed about it and said 'yah right, there's gotta be a hitch somewhere'. A few weeks later, he brought up Carvana again....curious, I decided to check it out online. The key words there was 'check it out'. I ended up buying a vehicle a couple hours later. Yeup, it was just like that. No hassle, no hidden costs or agendas. So after reviewing everything on the site, I started looking at minivans....I started falling in love with minivans....I started buying minivans....all through carvana. Once I locked in the one I wanted, I went through the credit process, documentation process, and pick up date (I chose pick up - because at this point, I still felt a little 'leary' about the whole deal'. It was so simple, and so honest, and so real. Over the course of the next 24 hours, all my submitted documents were approved and we just had two days to go to pick up the new mininvan. When we got to the store, it's not like a dealership with a lot, but it had three beautiful, well lit, very clean, showroom like bays that your vehicle is sitting in for your to do a complete inspection of it. It was very classy. Please note, our particular location does not have the car vending machine just yet. After passing our over check, I hopped in the car and drove it 65 miles home. She ran like a charm and I knew I had 7 days to decide if I wanted to keep her not. At day 3, although I loved her, she didn't have all the bells and whistles I truly wanted so that evening, I was back on the Carvana site, shopping for a replacement minivan....it's so easy to do when it gives you results based on your financial settings....I found the new 'her' a few hours later. I ordered her up and made the quick call explaining I was swapping and chose to have the vehicle delivered instead of going there to save time. The whole swap process took 2 days...they pulled up right to my house with my next new minivan. In my eyes, she was perfect, but I found a flaw before she was even off the truck. There was a huge bolt in the back tire. I was so disappointed. But Carvana took care of that so amazingly over the top.....they still brought her off the truck so I can check out the interior, test drive it, etc. We found a few more things that we felt should be fixed...minor things. Carvana took note of the items, and took the vehicle back on the truck but promised me (because I really wanted her that day) they would bring her back with a new tire....they kept their promise, three hours later she was back with a brand new tire, not one, but TWO brand new back tires. And they put an extra Carvana cup in the car for me. They swapped the minivans and off the old one went and there I sat with the new one. Smile ear to ear. I worked with Carvana on 6 items that we believed needed repair before committing to keep the vehicle. Carvana went above and beyond. I got an estimate for the repairs at a local shop, Carvana approved it, and within a few weeks, all repairs were completed through Carvana and I have the perfect vehicle, no hassle, no hidden agendas. And every person I dealt with on the phone or in person were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, FRIENDLY, HELPFUL, AND JUST THE BEST!! My Carvana experience was the absolute best. I will never go back to buying a car the old 'car dealership' way. And ironically, we had bought our other vehicle from a dealership just 3 months before being introduced to Carvana. I will give one warning about buying a vehicle through Carvana this way....it can be addicting..lol :-) Yes, I still shop Carvana cars every now and then....I don't even need a car, I just love seeing what Carvana has because it was sooo simple :-) Thank you Carvana for a trememdously wonderful experience.

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

Buying a car is stressful even if you have a lot of experience. Historically, it has been time consuming, emotionally taxing and most of us go into a dealership with far less knowledge than we ought for a purchase of the magnitude of a car. Salespeople have (understandable) pressures to move inventory and even the most fair-minded is looking to get the highest price they can get away with. It is harrowing at best. With my experience with Carvana, all of these stresses were eliminated. I browsed inventory as widely or narrowly as I wanted, for as long as I needed. I could dictate pricing ranges that were suitable for me. The car I received was *exactly* the car I examined online, right down to some inconsequential bumper scuffs. Beyond this, and *absolutely unlike* any other online business, I could speak to a *real human being* within a few minutes of calling (I had six or seven conversations with Carvana agents over the 3 1/2 weeks from car selection to car receipt). They either had the answers at hand, or researched them and replied promptly with a follow up call. Delivery coordination and drop off (and test drive) were *painless no pressure* experiences???all preparatory contract paperwork was prepared in advance leaving only title transfer stuff to take care of. It took 45 minutes, tops. (I transacted entirely in cash, so I cannot speak to the process when there is financing.) Honestly, the biggest delay was on *my* end getting the insurance transferred (having to wait on hold with my insurance company for 15 minutes). The car was 100% was described???absolutely no surprises. The images on the web site for my car were not stock images. What I saw was what I got. Naturally, it was clean, filled up with a full tank, with new tires and the whole nine yards. Even got a ???free??? Carvana reusable coffee cup and key chain. Nice touch. The part that I found the most extraordinary was the 7-day money-back guarantee, which pretty much covers a change of mind unless you get into an accident or drive it a ton (over 400 miles, and even then, they???ll take it back after a modest per-mile-over-400 charge). All in all, I was dreading buying a car (and selling my used one) and Carvana made it pleasurable. I am absolutely recommending them to all of my friends and coworkers and I hope (as a relatively new company) they keep up the excellent work.

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.

My husband & I, in and approaching retirement age respectively, recently found ourselves in need of replacing our cars. He purchased his first Subaru 7 months ago at a dealership close to home here. I've owned an Outback (2002...my "baby" 😊) for the last 12 years. I quickly located the color combination that I wanted on the Branford Premier Subaru dealership web site. After confirming its availability over the phone with a very friendly & helpful Brian Canell, an appointment was set up for the next day with salesman Luke Pannone. We didn't even bother to test drive, but made the arrangements & went home to await delivery. Meanwhile, Luke kept us posted & patiently answered my emailed questions, etc. I was surprised to learn that he was a newer employee because he is very knowledgeable, efficient & businesslike, as well as friendly & helpful...a real pro. Rob Weljkovic clearly explained all financial aspects of warranty, care & maintenance packages, etc., so we have nothing to worry about even if a bird feather lands on my car. 😉 Every aspect of our purchase was handled smoothly & efficiently by a team that obviously knows their product & their business. It was also comforting to see how busy this dealership is...always a good sign. Today some friends of mine (Subaru lovers & drivers too), came to take my beloved 2002 to a new home, and I drove home my very first NEW car EVER. We highly recommend Luke Pannone & the rest of the Premier team for your Subaru purchasing experience.

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.

I have just purchased my 5th Subaru through Premier ('18 /CrossTrek). My first was in 2009 - an Outback Wagon. Prices have always been very competitive - by a lot. Service has been perfect, not only in the quality of the work but in the way the staff treats you. That's why I keep coming back. Thanks, Bob and staff!

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.

Had carmen lizza as sales manager very knowledgeable and would recommend this dealer to friends

Replaced a 2002 BMW I bought new and loved until the last day I drove it in 2018. Now I look forward to every chance I get to drive my Forester. My dogs do too.

Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Kevon Morin was very helpfull in helping me choose my new car. Paola Vilches explained the car function???s in my native language Spanish and that makes a huge difference in the way I understand the car???s function. She is also very patience 👏🏼

Passenger airbag problem. Took over three months to get part. I have test driven 2019 and like this model much better. Just right size now hat I’m no driving a van. Touring model is great. Love the brown leather.

Yes, where do I start. Do I start with this being the best car buying experience I've ever had? That would be too obvious. But it would be the absolute honest truth. I think that everyone is so used to going to the dealership. Being there for 8 hours (you should get paid for being there you're there so long). Sales people trying to up-sell you on every little thing that you didn't ask for. Just an all around miserable experience. Then you go to carvana.com. You put in exactly what you're looking for. Exactly what you want to pay and presto you have a wonderful car. I believe it took me 45 minutes to do this entire transaction. From first going on the site and finding my 2016 Chervolet Equinox (maybe 15 minutes). To uploading my paperwork (5 minutes). To being approved (5 minutes). To having the car delivered, taking a test drive and signing the papers (20 minutes). It was the best transactions I've done since finding my husband. I've told everyone I know about this. We've watched videos of other people getting their cars. Too funny. Thank you Carvana for this wonderful experience. Can't wait to get my Husband a car now.

This cat is great for a small family. It gets great mileage, has ample cargo room and is comfortable even on long trips. I've been most impressed with the handling and performance this winter on snow and ice. It crawls through snow and and ice without any trouble.

I bought a car from Angelo at sound auto about a week ago, Had to bring the car back down to get the registration and have it detailed. The tire went flat as were were sitting there ( luckily when I was not on the highway). They were going to replace the tire but they couldn't find a match so they ended up putting on 4 brand new tires! This dealership is awesome and so is Angelo, He made sure everything was right before we walked out the door. (15' VW Jetta S)

I've always wanted a Forester - for years! - but when Consumer Reports said this was the best car for senior drivers, I bought one. I got the 2018 model because it was almost the same as the current year, but it's a splendidly equipped car. I love driving it and love all the safety features. The visibility is terrific. It's a certified pre-owned car, so it's almost as good as new. I'm a little concerned that a short driver like myself will feel some shoulder fatigue on longer trips - the armrest between the front seats isn't long enough or high enough for short drivers, and isn't sufficiently adjustable. So there's nowhere to rest my forearms comfortably. But that's really the only thing.

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

I have to say that my experience with Mounir (???Mo???) was absolutely amazing. He was so thorough, kind and extremely accomodating to my wants and needs in purchasing my new car. He also presented several great deals with me and worked really well with me on my trade in of my old 2014 Subaru. I absolutely love my brand new 2019 Subaru Crosstrek!! 😀

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.

What can we say? We loved our Subie-Do. She gave us 11 years and 164,235 miles of adventures. When it came time to put her out to pasture we knew the only car for us would be another Forester. My how they've changed since 2007! But our perceptive liaison to the 21st Century Car, Grace Baldwin, enabled us to test drive and pick just the right model to suit our needs. No more no less, just the perfect match suited to how we make use of our car, what for and where to. As we are also UpState New York transplants, we, (I!!) especially appreciated the way Grace listened and attentively suggested particular roads to confidently test drive before venturing out on busier interstate lanes. I suppose that kind of intuitive interaction best sums up my experience purchasing a car for the first time this century! We are grateful to have had an informative and gracious guide in Grace Baldwin.

This was the first time we had gone to Dan Perkins after having previously gone to Premier in Branford for several Subarus. We found out that Adam Arsenault had left Premier after calling them and having the say he was no longer there. We literally called around to other Subaru dealers asking if Adam was there and lucky for us he found a home at Dan Perkins. As always, Adam made our experience easy and without BS. This was our first time buying a car in a while after leasing for several years, and Adam really made the experience as painless as possible. He just gives it to you straight, every single time. I was also just impressed with Dan Perkins as a dealer overall. They weren't pushy. They didn't send in the "heavy" to try to lowball you on price. They said this is what we can do, and that's our best number and it was a fair number. When we came to pick up our car, I was thinking it was going to take forever and be uncomfortable based on previous experience, but George the Finance Manager made it seem like a piece of cake. George is a class act. He is very down to earth and easy to talk to, but also was efficient in that we got through the business we needed to very quickly. When he said we had done all the paperwork, I was sort in shock--how could that have gone so fast? Overall, I could not be more pleased with our experience at Dan Perkins. Since we got our car, I have recommended two friends to go see Adam at Dan Perkins and one of them ended up getting an Outback from him. (The other is still looking with him for a specific used car.) The price they got right up front was very competitive. It was so competitive that my friend, upon calling all the other dealerships in the state to see if they could beat the price (as he does with every car purchase--too much effort for me but that's what he does) had one dealer laugh and say he made the price up because "no one could offer that low of a price." Bottom line, if you need a new car, do not pass go, do not collect $200, just go straight to Adam Arsenault at Dan Perkins. Very satisfied customer and will go back again as soon as we need to return the lease on our other car.

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 needed to get online and write a review about Josh Solsol from Dan Perkins Subaru because just telling him how amazed and grateful we are simply isn't enough! My boyfriend and I went into his dealership after having a terrible experience at another right before, our car just broke down days previous to this and we had 2-3 days while I was off from work to figure things out! After our bad experience we thought we KNEW that no one could help us get a car. As soon as we shook hands with Josh he was so welcoming and gave us a feeling of comfort that we never received from a car salesman. After hearing our story he said "I'm going to get you approved and in a car TODAY" . We laughed and told him good luck because like I said, we thought we knew no one could get us a new car with our circumstances. Long story short Josh got us approved for the car we wanted and after hours and hours going back and fourth through everything and issues that were coming up he kept telling us "don't worry were going to figure this out, don't stress were getting you your car". And he did! It took 2 days about to work through everything because of my old car but he never stopped. He went all day that second day from 11am focused on us with not one break until they closed and we left with our 2015 Subaru legacy! Josh has been in contact with us ever since to make sure everything is going smooth and to ensure that we are happy! We need Dan Perkins Subaru to understand what they have in Josh! He is amazing and so dedicated to helping his guests ultimately be happy and get in the car they need. We will be recommending Josh with DP Subaru to every and anyone we know in the future! Josh you're amazing and we can't thank you enough for how hard you worked to help us in our tricky situation. Your personality is unlike any other and you will only continue to strive and succeed in this business! We'll be back to see you indefinitely for our second car !

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.

Mike Gallio did a fantastic job handling the entire purchasing process. Entertaining my early requests when researching the 2018 WRX's, scheduling a visit, giving me a test drive in both wrx/sti to let me make up my mind and following up with my needs. Never felt overbearing (this isn't my first subaru purchase...) and his professionalism and candor made me pick Dan Perkins to buy my car. He made sure I got the car I wanted, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the process. George and Gabe made the whole car pick up and finance/ownership transfer process smooth. I would definitely recommend this dealership and these employees if you are in the market for a new car.

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.

My review is of Bob Oshrin. When I walked through your doors with my daughter he came toward us with a friendly smile and I told my daughter that he was the man I wanted to do business with. I was of immediate need of a car and he could not have been more patient or helpful. I hadn't bought a car in 15 years and needed to work with someone just like Bob. He made sure that I understood all the steps involved and then made sure I understood the workings of the car. (I'm still learning). I was very fond of my 2000 Subaru Outback but am working on a relationship with my new RED Impreza. In time I will get to know all the bells and whistles, and enjoy driving it. He is a very good salesman and very understanding. Sincerely Theresa S. Kelso

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.

Both my partner and I each purchased a brand-new Subaru (one Forrester and one Crosstrek) from "Kevin" within 3 days of each other and couldn't be happier. We had done our research in advance, knew what we each wanted and had a ballpark idea about costs. Kevin was great - answered all our questions, explained everything in detail and made both purchases painless. Even though there are other Subaru dealers closer to us, I am glad we drove the extra miles. I would absolutely do business again with Dan Perkins Subaru and Kevin in the future. I will also strongly recommend them to my friends.

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.

I would Like to thank Dan Perkins Subaru for helping me get the used car that I wanted. Michael Capobianco was very great and very helpful when I went to visit the location. I saw the car that I wanted which is a white Mazda 6 2013. I would recommend my friends and family to purchase a car there. The best part of all was going the extra miles (lagniappe) when I left my glasses on my trade in car, he actually whet above and beyond to save my glasses. That right there was a winner for me for honesty and sometimes little things like that can go a long way. Thank you Dan Perkins Subaru for the experience.

This car is exactly what i was looking for. Despite the higher mileage, i am certain this car will last me the time that i need it to
