Used Subaru Forester for Sale in Watertown, CT

I still had a good car a 2009 Acura mdx with low mileage, but with the family no longer close by I wanted a sedan and was contemplating between the 2014 Kia optima sxl and vw cc..ended up with the Kia which I don't regret bcos..Peter and Lou made it happen and the car is a wow..its a beauty and drives with a punch👍👍 and compared to other dealers, I had a very good deal....i might still come for the cc too😁. Keep being honest....

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.

I needed a new "used" car to replace my 24-year old Taurus. Charlie Howell and the dealership went right to work and picked out two 2015 Corollas. I picked one and asked for my mechanic to give it the once over. Charlie readily agreed. Highline Car Connection fixed the only thing - to balance the wheels - and we reached a deal. They quickly took care of the item and I drove my "new" wheels home. Good job Charlie

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

Premier Subaru of Watertown is simply amazing. Words cannot explain how grateful I am for all the help they gave me! I was stuck in a terrible situation with my Jeep after only a year of purchasing it. I went to Premier Subaru in dire need of a new AWD car. I was desperate. Vincent Davis (salesman) is amazing. He was so dedicated and patient, he found me the 2019 Impreza I wanted. His positive attitude made my situation so much better. Joe H handled the finances for me. Joe treated me like FAMILY. Joe was upfront and honest, he did not try and put me in another situation that would affect me down the road. I did not feel judged or discouraged by my past financial decisions. Joe helped me tremendously, not only did he get me in an amazing new car but he helped guide me in the right direction for the future. I truly felt like Vincent & Joe did everything in their power to make me happy. I could not thank them enough leaving the lot in my brand new car. In less then 24 hours, Vincent, Carmine & Joe helped me get into a 2019 Subaru Impreza 3.5 year lease. They made what i thought was the impossible, possible. The entire process was flawless. They helped me find the car i wanted in the smartest financial way possible. I look forward to spending the next three years as a Subaru owner with Premier Subaru Watertown.

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.

Steve Kozar was our sales person. No pressure . Got answers to all our questions quickly. We found a great car at a fair price . Steve is very personable and accommodating. When we picked up the car we were in and out in 30 minutes and the car was fully detailed and they had addressed any issues we raised during our test drive and inspection to our satisfaction. Overall a very pleasant car buying experience. I’d recommend you see Steve if you are looking for a quality ride.

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 was looking for new/newer used cars priced moderately and felt like everywhere I looked online was out of my price range. Finally fell upon this place on Internet and could not get over their huge inventory of cars, some newer, that I actually liked! Did the usual dealership review and wow, negative feedbacks enough to make you want to avoid this place. But then I ran into a coworker who told me he bought 3 cars here without a problem. I went to look at car I picked off internet on Sunday and drove it home last night (4 days), couldn't be happier!!!

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.

With just about 700 cars to choose from, no need to look elsewhere,(& they're expanding again soon)!!... 🖒ABWA helped me in a last minute situation where I had to purchase a reliable vehicle, immediately. We found so many GREAT cars to chose from & the rock bottom prices are wholesale, so unmatched for the quality. We found A Better Way Auto Wholesalers in Naugatuck, Ct to be a local 'town jem'!. Our salesman,Alex P., was awesome! He & the Entire team at ABWAuto is knowledgeable of their inventory, and offer sincere detail to personal attention in a fast pace, upbeat Wholesaler environment. The family friendly sales team reflect a style of flair that is characteristic of our friendly Naugautuck River Valley towns, and the Showroom attracts customers from all over New England.The staff is there to help the auto shopper from start to finish. Our salesman Alex P. and the dealership team stand by their word to honor and respect U.S. Armed Forces Veterans and Wounded Warriors. My husband is a recently wounded Veteran, recovering from injuries incurred overseas while working U.S. Diplomatic Security Detail. Alex, his desk-mate Anna, James in the business office, the ABWA Service team,and the salesroom welcomed us & compassionately worked with our special circumstances, typical to Veterans &wounded Vet stature, & they all worked hard to get our family in a safe and beautiful car!!. Highly recommended!! 5 out of 5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟to ABWAuto 5 Stars🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟to Alex P. in Sales. Thank you all!! Julie & Kevin B.

The car has met all my needs even in the winter snow and ice no problem with it at any time the six months i have owned. The forest er

I bought a third car from A Better Way, since my first two cars (Mazda3 and VW TDI) had zero problems and have put 100k+ miles total on them(TDI was recalled by VW:huge windfall). Although, this vehicle needed to be brought back to their service center(under their 3,000 mile warranty) to have a few minor issues fixed. The problems were fixed in a timely manner and were all covered by the dealership's warranty. Gave me a different insight into this dealership: the service center. All the employees there were polite, fixed the minor issues quickly, and kept me up to date on its status. I worked with Lya when I purchased my car. She was great to work with, and had amazing patience when my insurance company had problems faxing over the binder, which came after the dealership closed! I would recommend Lya and her partner, Miriam, if your looking to purchase a vehicle the better way!

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

My husband has been searching for just the right vehicle for himself for quite some time, He located a car he was interested in and we went to look at it. Walking in the door to a very busy sales floor we were approached by a very knowledgeable and welcoming employee named Eli. He was attentive to our needs and took the time to carefully describe the vehicle to us, Once we decided on a test drive, Eli brought the vehicle to us and it was everything that was described on their website and more. My husband was very pleased with the car and decided to purchase it. We weren't sure if we qualified for financing but Eli assured us that we would be "fine". His words didn't disappoint. We were approved and walked out the same day with the vehicle that my husband had been searching for for so long. Every other salesman/woman that we came across asked if we needed anything and made sure we were being helped. They were all very friendly and attentive. We sat down with the finance person (can not remember his name) he had a smile on his face and was extremely friendly. He answered every question and explained every detail to our satisfaction! What a great team and overall experience we had. Thank you to every employee we encountered that day! We will return for our next vehicle purchase! Katie and Michael S

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.

Went on a Saturday afternoon at 4 pm was walking out of the dealer by 7:30 pm with my car. I came prepared with all the information on the vehicles I wanted to look at along with my pre-approval from my finance company. My sales representative Ben did a wonderful job getting us in and out. He knows his job and made the experience wonderful and was very friendly and enthusiastic. Had a wonderful experience in the finance department working with V. Palmer. He explained everything with no pressure. Will recommend Better Way Auto to my friends.

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

If you like thrift shopping or consignment shopping for clothes or household items, this is the car dealership equivalent. No fancy displays or showroom, but rock bottom prices, great selection, an easy to use website, great sales people. Our salesperson, Eli, even came in on his day off to follow up on (minor) repairs to our 2007 Honda Accord. The car looks great and runs beautifully, no squeaks or rattles. We saved nearly $2,000 by coming here. Eli was great: thorough, professional, upbeat - and he returned phone calls. This is worth the drive from anywhere. Next time we need a car, we're coming back.

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.

Eric was laid back and only helpful. We bought a 2013 Ford Fusion for $8995, $4500 less than a comperable car at Ford dealership. There were a few scratches and one small ding that our body repair shop can straighten out for less than $500. Engine appeared clean, ticking like a sowing machine, so I know that the valve clearances were OK. A Better Way Wholesale claims to do brakes beore a car like this goes out the door. We'll have an inspection at Balise Ford in Hyannis MA and check on brakes and any other system included in the inspection. Over all a very good experience. I will come back to this dealer.

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 !

This place is great. I bought 2 cars here this year. This dealership is like no other I have seen. The volume of cars they receive and sell is mindboggling. Salesmen are in street clothes and the place is hectic. Check out the site and figure out which cars you want to see and call. I called first and spoke with Rex, told him what we were looking for and went to see him. Drove a couple cars but nothing jumped out. He said to look at a Chrysler 300c he had in his inventory. My wife loved it. I checked carfax on my ipad and had it inspected at a meineke in Waterbury. It had a couple spots of something in the paint. I still bought it for 5k below market. Brought it to my body shop and he wet sanded the spots right out. Beautiful car with 17k miles. 3 weeks later my car died, did some research about the cars online that I liked and called Rex. I loved a Caddy they had and went to drive it, it had a airbag light on so I couldn't drive it, He said he would fix it so I put down a 1k deposit. That is the way it works there, put the minimum 1k deposit and they will hold it for you. If you don't put that deposit down that car will sell anyway, they go quick so they don't need to be pushy. He brought the car to a Cadillac dealership to get it fixed for us. Awesome car and a great deal. Great service and great people. Johnny and Lewis were great to talk to.

I like the comfort and the visibility of this car. All who have ridden in it feel that it’s comfortable too. Love the eyesight package which gives warnings regarding blind spots and so forth. Find it very easy to parallel park. My only complaint is that the audio controls aren’t intuitive to use, at least for me.

I purchased a 2017 Hyundai Sonata September 7,2017. The car is great it exceeds my expectation . 6 forward drive speeds, eco, regular and sport modes. In the first 2 weeks I have driven it to her 1000 miles to the mountains of Virgins and back and averaged 38 mpg. A Better Way truly is a better experience.Anna was my salesperson. Everything was explained professionally, The paperwork went quickly.I worked with various staff who test drove with me, explained financing if wanted, safety checked before I left with my new purchase and prepared everything including temporary registration as I live out of state.Everything was completed in under 2 hours on the day I came to drive the car home.

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.

After being a Subaru Forester owner for 15 years and ten years with my last model, it was time for me to purchase a new vehicle. Mike Maniscalchi introduced himself and we found him to be both personable, and knowledgeable in all aspects of the vehicles. He took the time to listen to a 60+ senior to try to place me in my perfect vehicle. Though I loved the Forester, I thought that our live style had changed and we could pursue other Subaru vehicles. Believe me when I say that I think I drove every vehicle type Subaru stocked. Liked the size and feel of the Subaru Crosstrek but could not get beyond the orange stitching they use in the interior. It drove like the Forester and had a sleek look and still offered the hatch. Unfortunately, the 2018 Forester had gone through some exterior and interior modifications, and it was not for me. We were at the dealership for the better part of the afternoon and evening. All the time we were there, Mike was as attentive as he was the first moment we arrived trying to work with me to find the "perfect" vehicle for me. By now I was so confused ( 6 pm)I wanted to call it a day! Mike never pressured us and if we needed to take a break and return the next day Mike would have been fine with that and would have greeted us the next day with a smile! My husband has a 2015 fully-equipped Subaru Legacy and in the back of my mind as far as features were concerned, I guess I wanted what he had in a different model. Though I still preferred the 8.7 road clearance offered by the Forester. Intuitively, Mike understood this and asked me if I wanted to drive the Outback. Much to my surprise, i liked how it drove, interior and road clearance worked also. Being seniors, we did have a budget and finally came to an agreement that fit our budget and I purchased the 2018 Outback Subaru. Additionally, he also spent all the time I needed when reviewing the features of my vehicle when I picked it up. Beyond satisfied with the entire Subaru experience. Ask for Mike when it is your turn to purchase a Subaru. He is patient, knowledgeable, makes you feel comfortable, interested in what you want, and if it takes hours to find you the perfect vehicle...he will! As you know the financing paperwork can be challenging and "painful". Kevin was great to work with and made the experience as painless as possible...he was friendly and personable. Both Mike and Kevin were awesome.

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.

After weeks of exhaustive searching and visiting dealers across the state I had decided on the car I wanted. My journey started with 3 cars; Ford Focus, Mazda3 and the Subaru Crosstrek. I teetered between used and new, leasing and financing. I learned on the way; dealers will talk your ear off while letting you test drive distracting you so it is better to shake them if you can. I had dealers who did not listen well to me and I eventually learned you stand up and walk out. I learned owning a new with a lower APR versus a used with a higher will eventually pan out to be the same so it's best to go with new. After one unsuccessful day a friend let me drive his Subaru Impreza. I mentioned I was looking into the Crosstrek but my mind was quickly changed when I drove his 2016 Sport Premium. It is the same body with a lower suspension. The sport premium came at an additional price than the premium; it includes roof rails and fog lights. I quickly narrowed my search to a 2016 Impreza Sport Premium in Blue Quartz Pearl. I found only one in the whole state of Connecticut. It was in Danbury, an hour and a half away from me. There was no price listed and said to ask for a quote, knowing that dealers were asking for $22,500+ on average I decided to go with $22k. To my surprise I got a friendly response from April saying that they would meet me at my price. I immediately thought; what's the catch? But there did not seem to be any hidden strings. April was very patient with me, this was my first time buying a car and it proved to be stressful on me. She kept her smile on and cheery personality during my intense indecision days. It all worked out and I've been driving my new car for 2 weeks, loving it! It definitely helped that I knew what I wanted going into the dealer and that they did not pressure me into buying the car. Huge plus is that they don't slap on a dealer sticker on the back! It was worth the 70 mile drive across the state for this vehicle.

This Is our 2nd Forester it is awesome has exceeded all expectations drives well has amazing safety features perfect size highly recommend to everyone you will not be disappointed

We are a three-time Subaru owner and we were coming off our lease. We live in Norwalk and all of our dealings have been through our local dealer here. We decided to cross-reference pricing with Colonial under an assumed name with NO INTENTION of ever making a transaction with them. BOY was I wrong! To my surprise, the pricing April provided me was incredibly competitive to a point, where I had to ask if there was 'a catch'. There wasn't! The dealership I normally deal with simply couldn't match the deal and what do you know.... I became a new Colonial Family Member today! April was attentive, honest and forthcoming with all aspects of the negotiation process. This is exactly what I was looking for. In comparison to the dealership we normally use, we found Colonial to be expansive, extremely clean & modern. The process in which you purchase/lease a car is far easier than prior experiences elsewhere, as it's streamlined and efficient. We were in and out very quickly with respects to paperwork. The vehicle was delivered as promised, at the incredible low price offered and in flawless condition, unlike my last two Subarus I took delivery at my other dealership that I found light scratches or had mechanical issues (on brand new cars, mind you) This place is TOP NOTCH and if you want a no-bull, straight shooter salesperson - April Zanotti is the individual for you. Rest assured. Oh, and by the way... Last Friday when I called my regular salesperson at my local dealer and asked if I can come down that Saturday to get my car appraised, I was told "come in Monday, I'm busy." Well, that evening I was online emailing April back and forth at 9:30PM ... yes, 9:30PM ....... talk about SERVICE! ONE more reason why April won me over and my FORMER dealership lost me as a customer. LOVE YOU, APRIL!!

The 2019 Subaru Forester fits my 6'5.5" 15 year old son, and there's spare head room for when he grows taller. I researched multiple vehicles. This one had the room, gas mileage, and most of the creature comforts I was looking for. I also has great pickup, responsive handling, and a smooth ride. It's much smoother than my 2017 Mazda CX-5 (a lead butt).

Just bought a new to me Forester and I couldn't be happier. Subaru hasn't let me down yet...this is my 3rd one and I can't imagine driving anything else. It's safe, reliable and sporty!

We weren't planning on buying anything yet and were just looking. Everyone was friendly and helpful without being pushy and/or just looking to make a sale. Bill K. worked with us, asked questions, really listened to what we had to say and respected our opinions - meaning he didn't try to change our mind about what we liked or wanted in a car. He also understood that I was still hesitant to give up my 15-yr-old 2002 Outback. It was in good shape but due to age would eventually start needing expensive repairs, which is why we were starting to look around. He was very knowledgeable and found us a car similar to what I had. On one question we had he got someone else more knowledgeable about it to speak with us. We did a test drive - sweet ride. We asked for time to talk and think some more. He left us alone. When we came back in to talk, he made us an offer we couldn't refuse. Finance also found us a warranty we couldn't refuse. Bill has checked in with us a few times to see if we had any questions and how we liked the car. We couldn't figure out how to set the clock - the manual wasn't helpful on that - and we brought it in. Bill was with another client but had Guy come out to the car and set it up for me. Guy was a sweetheart and patiently went through everything on the dash with me and set things up the way I wanted them. LOVE the car!! I've had it two weeks and already took it to Maine and back. Very sweet ride - like floating. Bill is a great guy and we highly recommend him and the dealership. It was a refreshing change from past dealership experiences where they only cared about selling a car no matter what or how, and getting as much money as they could out of us. Thank you Bertera Subaru of Hartford! :)

I like all the safety features. That's what sold me on the car. And it is excellent for the height challenged people. Very comfortable and easy infotainment center.

I had been looking for a car for months and after as much searching as I could deal with I finally stumbled onto the one I had been looking for. The sales team, Brett Bauer specifically, were very willing to work with me throughout the whole process. Great overall experience for a first time buyer.

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

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.

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..?
