A recent article in FORTUNE suggested that, although still responsible for a relatively small portion(2.3%) of the U.S. car market, Subaru has developed one of the most solid reputations in the car business. Consumer Reports ranks Subaru #1 in performance, comfort, utility, and reliability. Subaru is also the leader in retained value as per ALG, while the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety has also named every Subaru made as a "Top Safety Pick". These recognitions have also made Subaru one of the biggest climbers in sales, averaging about double the increases that the industry average acheives on a monthly basis. This year, Subaru will sell approximately 325,000 total vehicles into the United States. Some of the ways that Subaru has been able to do this include offering products with specific advantages over other manufacturers(such as AWD on vehicles such as the Legacy, giving it an advantage over other mid-size sedans), paving its own way(Subaru of America's offices are in New Jersey, as opposed to other Asian manufacturers located in California), and pricing the cars to truly show that you are getting a dollar's worth for every dollar that you choose.

The two hypermilers traveled a total of 7,899 miles while averaging 64.55 miles per gallon. The journey was taken over all types of terrain, in all types of weather conditions, and in all levels of traffic. The Optima is rated at 40 mpg highway. Gerdes believed that most drivers should be able to exceed that, even with normal driving habits. He also stated that the record is more impressive considering that the Optima is a mid-sized vehicle as opposed to a subcompact.

Jeff met me in the parking lot as I looked around at both new and used cars and was very friendly and helpful from the start. He knew a lot about the cars and any questions I had that he was unsure of he made sure to find out about right away. Once I found the car I wanted, he was very scrupulous and meticulous about going over all of the details and making sure I knew all the ins and outs of the cars features, the warranty, and how the deal for the car would work. He helped get the price down to a level that I was very comfortable with and I definitely appreciate everything he did for me. He followed up the day after I left with the car to make sure everything was going well which it surely was. I would highly recommend buying a Subaru purely based about the quality of the car and just as confidently recommend buying your Subaru from Jeff Lambert at Premier Subaru of Branford. - mlowe2013, Satisfied Subaru Sales Customer I had a great time with Premier Kia. I had been to a few other dealerships and was just going to stop by at Premier so that I could see a color that another place did not have. I called up and talked to Rita who was instrumental in getting me to come in to look around. With her warm welcome over the phone I came in and met with Tyler who was more than helpful in everything that we needed. By the end of the visit I was perfectly happy with my experience and decided to purchase a vehicle with them. They made the car buying experience seamless and a great time. Thanks Rita and Tyler. - delladonna, Satisfied KIA Sales Customer Do you have a great story to tell about one of our sales consultants?
