Edit: whoops, digging up an old comment!
I’ve never walked out of my Subaru dealership feeling like I needed antibiotics. Very upfront about everything from sales to service to trade-ins. The “Subaru Love” is in part that they have basic decency in a business transaction.
So, so, so many other dealers were just filled with snakes in a sales pit hibernaculum. I had to help my mother-in-law turn in a lease early at a Toyota dealer and I fought off three different varieties of shady in an hour. The same dealership had gotten my late father-in-law into a lease before prices went nuts and then tried to screw her on the higher residual value in 2023.
On my 4th Subaru, just installed a big-ass CarPlay head unit to keep my ‘17 Outback rolling a while longer. Not the best car ever engineered, and it’s drinking a bit of oil in its age, but it’s been very reliable, capable, and comfortable as my daily driver. The Solterra seems unimpressive on paper, but I’d happily consider whatever EV options they have when it’s time to pasture this ride.
