Our whole family are repeat Ventura Toyota customers who are always treated with respect. Today for example: I brought in my aging vehicle for an oil change. I was assisted by Raphael for the hassle-free transaction. Having a bit of time, I test drove the 2018 Rav4 Hybrid with Daniel, and we chatted and had an enjoyable time. When I told him about the kitchen remodel we were in the middle of, he completely understood that it would be a little crazy to buy a new car today. I then went across the way to the Crown dealership and looked at Jeeps. While jeeps are great- that place is super sleazy. The sales person who came out and spoke to me was the old school sleazy car salesman with his condescending manner and disparaging low ball remarks about my current vehicle. Their strategy there seems to be to make the customer feel like a dirtbag driving a pile of garbage. Not really sure how that might work for them, but as I was leaving to go back to toyota the guy was actually shouting to me as I crossed the street trying to sell me pretty much anything... So if you've been with Toyota for awhile, you might forget that these analog experiences happen at other dealerships. Toyota of Ventura is our happy place; whether buying the Toyota brand or a used offering of a different make. They treat you like friends and family.

From a budget standpoint of its one of the greatest automotive feats in the last 20 years. A reliable, cheap, beautiful, fear wheel drive sports car that ìs better than a Mazda Miata! Toyota clearly took aim at this car or the driving philosophy behind it. It's alot more comfortable than a Miata! More horsepower! Looks amazing even at a standstill! Plus with a few minor tweaks (header, intake and open flash tablet tune) you can iron out its flaws! Or you you can go hogwild crazy and slap a turbo or supercharger for insane amounts of power! Frankly, I would do rather do the former than the latter, just for longevity reasons (and to keep my warranty). Plus I love the trademark Subaru "rumble"! Aside from the power the infotainment system is laggy at times. Would recommend a slightly used specimen, under warranty and dealer certified no older than 2 years. Lastly there isn't ANY excuse to buy this in automatic (except health reasons), the clutch is like butter and Toyota/Subaru make almost perfect manual gearboxes. Subaru has had some issues with their automatics. So do yourself a favor avoid automatic transmissions for this particular model! If you're on the fence about it because you've got kids, buy this car and convince your significant other to keep the family car, once they're in the driver's seat of this "smart mans" Japanese Porsche they'll get it! My only 2 reasons for not buying this car would be if I could only have access to one car and lived in a snowy area I'd just get a Subaru Sti and if your over 6'2" you're going to be a bit cramped.
