Why the Outback is being called the Best Car in the Market

 There are many out there that rank the 2014 Subaru Outback as one of the finest cars on the market today.  Although companies like Consumer Reports and Motor Trend have already ranked the Outback highly, it is word of mouth that has propelled the Outback to even greater heights.  Consumer Reports asked their Facebook followers to tell them what the best car in the U.S. Market is, and they chose the Subaru Outback by 25% of all votes!  The Outback has stood out among its peers due to adventurous styling, frugal fuel economy, generous interior space, and all-weather capabilities.  It also retains its value better than any other mid-size car.  Check out our available inventory of Outbacks here.

Subaru takes top 5 of KBB's 10 Best AWD vehicles under $25k

 On February 6, Kelley Blue Book announced the best 10 all wheel drive cars and SUV's below $25,000, and Subaru swept the top 5 spots.  They ranked in the following order: Forester, Outback, Legacy, Impreza, and XV Crosstrek.  The Forester, now Subaru's best-seller, has won the list based on its 2014 redesign, with the Outback coming in right behind thanks to its sedan-like feel.

For those of us who live in the Northeast, the past few winters have shown us the value of all wheel drive.  But All Wheel Drive also provides better traction in dry weather as well.  That is why many people have come to rely on Subaru.  Check out our available inventory here.

Customer's Corner

 Notes from Happy Customers! Here are some reviews from Dealerrater.com - you can view others here and here.

From the moment I entered the dealership, Herman Winston answered all of my questions, treated me with respect and demonstrated his knowledge of the make and model of car I was interested in buying. His sense of humor lightened some moments and his ability to bring me an offer for the car I wanted to buy in record time, had me closing this purchase of my Subaru Forester in about an hour and a half!

I dealt with Jeff when I came to get the car and he too, was very professional, knowledgeable and respectful.  This is my 6th Subaru purchase and my third purchase from this dealership . . . I expect to purchase from them again in the future.

- Profbio, Satisfied Subaru Sales Customer

I did most of the research for this vehicle online. I contacted Premier on the recommendation of my best friend who has dealt with the owner and was very impressed with him and the business.

Right from the start the people at Premier stood out from the rest. All of my questions were answered and I never felt pressured or rushed.

On the subject of price we went back and forth a couple of times with them always being professional, and receptive to my questions. While they did give me the best price, it was more the way they handled things that really impressed me. The other dealerships I was talking with made it seem like the clock was running and I had to hurry up and hand over some money to hold the deal they were presenting or the deal would go away.

At Premier they calmly said they would make things work, just relax and lets talk about exactly what you need.

On the day I went to pick up the vehicle I was met at the door, introduced to everyone that would be handling the paperwork and showing me the in and outs of my new car. The process was smooth the people great and I am now driving my new car.  Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
