2021 Chevrolet Equinox review
I had a 20/20 Equinox that I was traveling from Illinois to Florida. As I was getting back on 75 South I got rear-ended and throw a hundred feet. The car took the brunt of the hit my cat that was in the cage in the back never got hurt my dog that was tethered in the front seat never got hurt I got a small concussion with a bump on my head but overall I absolutely love the car. When I got reimbursed for my 20/20 I went out and bought another one I was so impressed with the impact it took for that crash.

I purchased a 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander from Butler's back in 2018 for my growing family and it was a great car!! I just recently was able to trade in and upgrade for a beautiful 2021 GMC Acadia and Noah went above and beyond to help me find the right car. He was so patient, let me drive all the cars I had seen online (even stayed late to do so) just to be sure I was making the right choice, answered all my questions in stride, and also helped me weigh my pros and cons for each choice I had. Noah made the process effortless and I will HIGHLY recommend Noah, Todd, Tyler and the rest of team at Butler's to anyone needing to trade or find the right fit. Great people, excellent customer service and I'll be calling them before anyone else when I'm ready to trade again.

Butler Auto Sales, Inc. review
My wife and I knew instantly when Brooke Hayes came out to greet us that we were in good hands. She was engaging, and listened fully to what we were looking for. Through the entire process, Brooke was attentive to every detail, seeking our reactions and carrying on pleasant social exchanges, all without a hint of "salesman" attitude. Her flexibility was amazing: the day of closing, my wife had an appointment in a nearby city. It never occurred to us that she would be needed to sign paperwork. Brooke handled all this with grace, going ahead with what could be done, then staying engaged until my wife could return. All without the slightest impatience. She has continued to stay in contact, wanting to be certain all was well with our car, encouraging us to let her know of any needs or concerns.
2024 Chevrolet Equinox review
I've had my fwd lt for a few months now. Great car. At first I thought it was a bit underpowered, but it more than makes up for it in fuel economy. Clean interior, not too many buttons and the standard screen is small but really intuitive to use. Overall an excellent vehicle that fully meets my needs

2019 Chevrolet Equinox review
The 2019 Chevy Equinox Premier 2.0 AWD is great overall. The 2.0 liter model is very reliable on the freeway and works wonderfully for family trips with children as the back seat is quite comfortable. The 1.5 liter model struggles to get up to freeway speeds in our prior test drive, but it doesn't feel like that at all with the 2.0 liter. The Bose Premium Audio does not have a subwoofer, but the speakers have a deep low range and provide the feeling of a full audio experience. It's quite entertaining when you are jamming out at high volume and your pantleg is rattling from the door speaker. Issue 1. The front seats are rather short leaving 4-5 finger widths from the end of the seat to the back of the legs which results in your legs feeling like they are dangling off the seat, whereas you want something closer to 2-3 finger widths. I am average height of 5'9", so this would be more uncomfortable for taller people. The passenger seat specifically presses into your right leg causing it to start to go numb after 30 minutes, so long road trips in the front passenger seat are quite uncomfortable. Issue 2. I have the 2.0 Premier AWD with every bell and whistle available, and it still "feels" like I am surrounded by plastic. I understand that Chevy is not a luxury brand, but the max comfort trim leaves much to be desired. Issue 3. The Adaptive Cruise feature will randomly disable itself in clear weather. It rarely happens, but it seems to happen for no obvious reason. Disabling Cruise Control and re-enabling it resolves the matter, so it is a minor annoyance more than anything. Something I found amusing - The owner's manual says to use 5w30 for all weather conditions above -20f, then has a caveat to use 0w30 in -20f conditions, and then on the next page has yet another caveat to use 0w40 in -20f conditions.

2021 Chevrolet Equinox review
For the most part, we love this car. We do have some small issues. But we will focus first on the positives. The car itself has very comfortable seats, plenty of time inside, lots of safety features, looks really good inside and out and the extra large sunroof that goes almost front to back of the car is incredible. The power lift gate at the back, is a great feature! The backup camera is large and clear! The warnings whole backing up, are fantastic! It drives like a car, not like a tank! Overall, it's a fantastic car! The disadvantages are that there is a shimmy/shake in the car as it is pulling a hill. When you are gaining on the car in front of you a little quicker than the car in front of you is moving, the collision warning lights lighting up and the alarms sounding, is terrifying and not cool. Not being able to turn off some of the warnings that pop up every time you crank the car without hitting the dismiss button are irritating. But for the most part we would buy another one in a heartbeat and love our car!

2019 Hyundai TUCSON review
I bought my 2019 Hyundai Tucson in 2021 from the Dealership as the second owner. It has not given me any issues. I get it serviced when required. It has never had any issues. I feel the interiors are comfortable. I love the butt warmers. I love the vibrant blue exterior. SUV has so much space. When I put my foot down it it definitely not my old 300CC Hemi Chrysler V6 engine but it eventually goes. It feels sporty and stylish. 26mpg on the freeway.

2025 Subaru Crosstrek review
I love my crosstrek limited.I only have 2 complaints but it not really the car its my prefrence. I have always had cars that the doors locked automatically when you left it as long as you had the key.The cross trek doesnt have that and it drives me insane.I am forever forgetting to lock it by the door handle or key fob.My second complaint is it has heated everything except the steering wheel.I like that in the winter but other than that its a great car so far.I have only had it a month so Im not sure how it handles in the snow yet.

My biggest problem with the forester is the infotainment system and the tom tom navigation. The infotainment is laggy at best. It can take two seconds per press to respond. And the tom tom? What? Did tom tom give Subaru a deal on 80s technologies. Recently I asked for a dollar tree and it changed it to 03. I have asked for vorhees and it kept trying to change it to Glendale? xxx. It is not barely usable, it is absolutely unuseable, that part of this car is a xxx.

Five Star Subaru Of Oneonta, Inc. review
Not long after the initial transmission flush (success!) fluid changes, and tire reseating (all 4 +new stems) I began driving with a bit more spirit. It became apparent, however, that things were not quite right. Shaking. Vibration. Beginning about 55 and worse at highway speeds. I had just checked tire pressure. Tires were all reseated. After this all possibilities start sounding more expensive. When one thinks on it, so many factors contribute to a smooth driving experience. The wheels, suspension and beyond all link up somewhere. Everything affects everything else, so trying to diagnose this myself would not lead me far. One phrase rang out in my mind. Front Left Axle, Boot Torn. This was the last report on the multi-point inspection. How much time did I have left? Some. Less if you drive on dirt roads with gravel. The dirt roads in my town are fantastic-they are made out of gravel. I could tell myself that the vibration was no big deal. Or I could follow up on the problem the shop reported. Five Star fit me in within the week to diagnose even as vacation season neared and work bays filled. I drove without an issue on local roads under the shaking speed. Or I should say, no issue that I could notice. This was important-I normally drive local roads, unaware of anything wrong at slow speeds, and this itself was the problem. When you don't notice. When you don't see it in advance. No check engine light. Only the shaking itself, which I didn't get at all until 55. I had just about sat down when my service writer returned with reconaissance. I was warned. Front Left Axle, Boot Torn, almost no grease left. The writers proceed to explain. The "boot" is a rubber shield around a complex joint of bearings, holding it in a bath of grease and protecting it from dirt, gravel, and impact. Once this boot is torn, everything starts to get into that joint, drying out any grease that hasn't been flung out and gouging into the bearings. Its a pretty quick timeline between the tear and noticeable grinding. This I did hear on slow, tight turns, while parking for example. I didn't know the sound was related. The lesson? Pay attention to all noises. It does not seem that axles are a part of safety inspections for my state, so the annual inspection would not have necessarily turned this up. The multi-point found it. Driving a 20+ year old model, it did not surprise me to hear that the part was discontinued and only available as aftermarket. I had been warned about this as well-many parts would be discontinued. The word has a finality about it, like nothing can be done. Yet, this was far from the case. The writers explained that they have a host of 3rd party resources and a preferred manufacturer for axles. Of course, hearing this was a huge relief, but I wouldn't know how much so until I looked up these axles myself. I found several different companies each selling different-looking and priced components. Which is best? Is the cheapest one junk? Just like anything for sale on the internet, reviews make the claim for either side. So how do you know? You need insider information. This was just one of the many reasons I was at Five Star Subaru in the first place. Only those techs with deep Subaru knowledge will know which part they trust to use on their own vehicles. That's the part I wanted-their best choice. This is why I keep returning. Five Star gives you the best they have, every time. Driving now close to 5k on the new axles (best installed in pairs) I can only smile at what I was missing out on. The car drives flawlessly on the highway now, winding hill climbs are even more confident. No small improvement for sure, new axles command attention to the top performance of the vehicle. ∆nother shining success for Five Star Subaru.
2025 Subaru Forester review
My first Subaru although each of my kids had a used one as their first cars. Very well made, It is quite comfortable but I wish the seats went up a little bit more. I bought the Premium model and it has everything you could ask for. Handles great, has more than enough oomph, and I am averaging around 26.5 mpg in mostly city driving. Took a 200 mile out and back trip, and averaged 34.8 mpg. I will certainly buy another Subaru when it is time, usually every 2-3 years.

2025 Subaru Forester review
I have had a 21, 23 and now a 25 Subaru Forester Premium and over the years they have gotten better. I didn’t think I would like the large screen but now after two weeks of driving it, I’m loving it. It is a safe and reliable vehicle for small families and seniors like me.

2024 BMW X3 M review
Nothing like it. Definitely a sleeper. A rocket on steroids. This SUV is race car built for the track but made for the road. It corners wonderfully especially on hard tight corners. It has a sport suspension which makes it ride very harshly on runflats but softens up on Michelins. I didn't buy this suv for gas mileage rather I bought it for fun. Yet it averages 21mpg around 75-80mph. The seats fit like a glove.
