My hubby and I started out a by sending an enqiery on the internet and Subaruworldnewton called us first, however a second call came in which was about 5 minutes from my home in the Pocono... we live 45 minutes from Newton with a toddler... I really didn't want to drive all that way to Newton so we chose to go the dealer in town; and BOY! were we Wrong!!! we were there for over 4 hours with my little 2 1/2 year old all day trying to get my 2013 Subaru Outback, ( the manager came he went on his cigarette breaks!...NEVER did he one time greet me my husband or my baby) The sales person was ok but; I wanted a specific color Caramel Bronz which they kept trying to tell me was imposible because it was not a popular color so they didn't have it and didn't think they could get it for me and also that I shouldn't try to get it from anyone else because I wasn't going to find it! WE MADE A DOWNPAYMENT BUT WENT IN SEARCH BECAUSE THEY GAVE US THE IMPRESSION THEY WOULD TRY TO GET THE CAR (BUT THEY STILL MADE US FEEL HOPELESS) HENCE WE ENDED UP IN NJ. This started at 11am WITH THE FIRST DEALER... at about 5:15 pm we were on our way to Newton after talking to Michael Superti on the phone he said come and we can find your car! got there (a) Michael Ventola (Internet manager) greeted us with a hugh warm smile,invited us in our little trooper was fast asleep by this time being out all day. They actually offered me a nice sofa to spread a blanket to lay the baby down (THIS WAS GREAT COSTUMER SERVICE FOR YOU) and got to work with us,then(Michael Superti) our sales presentative took us; did our paperwork in LESS than 2 1/2 hours the branch manager and a few other came introduces themselves thanked us for our business and we were on our way home with my 2013 Subaru Outback CARAMEL BRONZ! thats my car. the atmosphere was very welcoming the staff was very very pleasant and helpful. I AM VERY VERY HAPPY WE WENT AFTER ALL. I MOST DEFINATLY AM GIVING THEM MY 5 STARS WILL BE RECOMMENDING THEM TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO GET A CAR THEY WILL GIVE YOU GREAT SERVICE AND YOU WILL FEEL LIKE WHEN YOU ARE SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY THIS IS THE WAY YOU EXPECT TO BE SHOWN APPRECIATION!!

Agreed to a price for a 2012 Impreza, and a price for the my trade in. After a long string of signing documents in the Finance office, and the sticker from my car disappeared, the contract "price of unit" on my trade in. After a long string of signing documents in the Finance office, and the sticker from my car disappeared, the contract "price of unit" on the car rose approx. $1000 over the sticker price. BUYER BEWARE, Make sure you see your contract before signing any other docs, first. More
The day started off driving through the parking lot of the dealership looking for a used car that would get good mpg, we found a 2010 mini cooper that both my wife and I felt would be great. We worked wit the dealership looking for a used car that would get good mpg, we found a 2010 mini cooper that both my wife and I felt would be great. We worked with the salesman Matt who was very polite and pleasant. We had the back and forth price discussion for a short while and we agreed on a price and the deal was sealed with a hand shake from the sales Manger Tom Moffitt and the salesman. We took the car and drove off very pleased. There was a little confusion about the loan terms when we were finishing up the deal. Tom Moffit stayed involved with the deal and all was worked out and we were pleased. Tom Moffit is a sales manager with integrity and whom I respect. He went out of his way to ensure we were 100% satisfied, which we are. Thank you Tom Moffit ! More
Came to get my remote starter installed - service was prompt and clean - the guys here are such pro's... While I was here (and after I picked up) the Manager checked in to make sure everything was just prompt and clean - the guys here are such pro's... While I was here (and after I picked up) the Manager checked in to make sure everything was just right. He even took the time to show me some cool new features of the remote starting (not your dad's remote starter!) More
I just purchased two brand new cars from Subaru World of Newton. I have to say that at no time did I find that the salepeople were not helpful. The person I worked with was named Steve. His boss and oth Newton. I have to say that at no time did I find that the salepeople were not helpful. The person I worked with was named Steve. His boss and other co-workers were just as helpful and did everything to make me and my husband have a great experience. I am sorry to read some of the reviews that were written saying they has bad experiences, as there are always two sides to a story, as in some cases things do happen and can be fixed. I would recommend anyone to stop and meet the salesmen and shop around, as you will find great prices and most of all friendly to work with. Thanks again Steve and to you all at Subaru World. More
I had the worst experience with Subaru World of Newton. I'll try to be brief: - I ordered a car through the VIP program on a Saturday. Tom said it would be ordered during the week. It wasn't. The next F I'll try to be brief: - I ordered a car through the VIP program on a Saturday. Tom said it would be ordered during the week. It wasn't. The next Friday, I began calling to inquire - no response. It took more than half a week to finally receive a call back from our salesperson, Terrel, who said they hadn't ordered it because they found what I wanted. It was virtually impossible. I had checked the inventory of every dealership within 1,000 miles and, what's more, he said it had over 2,000 miles. I declined and requested that he order what I asked for. - I was NEVER able to contact Terrel or Tom. I'd either leave a message with the receptionist or on their voicemail and almost never received calls back. Subaru of America had to intervene for us to receive any information at all. When they did intervene, Tom lied to them and told them the car was ordered the day I came in and that he didn't know I was a VIP. Mind you, he gave me a small speech about how they wanted to make sure they treated me exceptionally well because of that status. If this is VIP treatment, how is everyone else getting treated? Are they getting verbally assaulted? After I e-mailed him to point out his errors (i.e., lies), I never heard from him again. - After SoA intervened, Terrel told me he'd keep me updated on the status of my car. Weeks passed and I didn't hear anything until the day my car arrived and Joe Bertone called. I wasn't surprised - Terrel had been awful with communication. - When I went to take delivery, I discovered that they had placed both a dealer sticker and pinstriping on my car. I told them explicitly the day I ordered the car, through an e-mail and over the phone with Tom Moffit that I didn't want a dealer sticker or pinstriping. But there it was. I told them to remove it. They also added rubber door guards (the rubber that lines the edges of the doors), which I asked them to remove as well. This made me furious though, honestly, I wasn't surprised. They had been painfully incompetent and I was actually expecting this. Now, the reason why I was so explicit about not adding the stickers was because I was worried that if they removed them, they'd scratch the car. They did. There are countless scratches all along the sides of my car where the pinstriping was. It made me wonder if they were using fine-grained sandpaper instead of a cloth towel. Unfortunately, I didn't catch this until I arrived home when I could see the car in the sunlight. Shame. - Because they had to remove the stickers and the door guards, I had to wait an extra hour before I could finish taking delivery. The person who took us through the paperwork was Joe Berton. He took over for Tom Moffit. Prior to my arrival, Bertone had called at least 15 times to ask for different information that was required on the paper. It was incredibly unprofessional. These calls would take place in a row. He should've made a max of two calls - one with a bulk of the questions and the second with anything he may have missed. It was like they'd never sold a car before. - Joe Bertone tried to charge me $349 for VIN etching, something they had, apparently, already added to the car. I was outraged. By putting a deposit on the car, I had essentially purchased it. They had no right to add anything without my permission. He said it was a value pack. I said it was a scam. When I dug my heels in about it, he begrudgingly removed the cost. There were other fees as well that were totally unnecessary and only serve to increase their profit. I decided not to fight him about them. I was tired and I just wanted to go home. - After I arrived home, I removed their license plate frames from my car almost immediately. I didn't want to advertise for them. I loathed them. I ended up finding two extra holes in my front bumper; they were right above the stock holes. So, basically, the person who was installing the license plate frame decided they were too lazy to use the existing holes. After all, it takes a lot of effort to match up screws to holes. They thought they'd just go ahead and make new ones. Unacceptable. Because I planned to move to PA, a state that doesn't require a front plate, I'd eventually want to cover up the holes and covering up four is a lot harder than covering up two. - Also, though this isn't as big of a deal, they told me that my car arrived with 3 miles and that I should be receiving it with 5. The car ended up having 10 miles on it, which makes me wonder what they were doing to have racked up those miles in less than 24 hours. Had they not said I should be getting it with 5, I'd have assumed that the detailer they use is kind of far. Clearly, that isn't the case. Furthermore, they charged me $65 for a full tank of gas, which was heavily diluted. I was only able to average 20mpg on it. After I emptied out the tank and got gas, though, I averaged 32mpg. Don't waste your time with this dealership and certainly don't give them your money. I'd stay as far away from them as possible. More
Was told a price for my trade prior to discussing new car. Trade price was far less the following day. Was given a price for a new car by the salesman was ready to buy, however sales manager said he woul car. Trade price was far less the following day.

I made an appointment and brought my car in for a four wheel alignment. The service manager estimated it would take about 1.5 hours to complete. When 1.5 hours rolled around the service manager called me wheel alignment. The service manager estimated it would take about 1.5 hours to complete. When 1.5 hours rolled around the service manager called me over and informed me that my car could not be aligned. When he brought me out to the shop I expected to be shown a cracked frame or something along those lines but he pointed at the nuts and stated that the tech could not loosen them. He stated that if I could loosen the nuts for them then they would align the car when I brought it back. Additionally, the service manager gave me an estimated invoice for $255 worth of parts that "needed" to be replaced that were unrelated to the alignment. These parts included components of the rear drum brakes which could not have been checked as the rear wheels were not removed. I have waited on hold with Subaru Corporate for several hours and sent multiple complaints to Subaru Corporate about this event with no responses to date. I was contacted by the dealer as a result of this review and they stated that they were sorry and that a poor choice was made although it may not have been intentional. I ended up bringing the car to a shop down the street and they had no problem loosening the nuts or aligning the car. More
