Want a 2015 Subaru Outback with Eyesight?  




It seems like the new Eyesight feature is a hot seller - so hot in fact, that the only way to get one would be to order one.  Even Consumer Reports itself had to order a Subaru Outback 3.6R Limited in order to take it out for an extended test-drive - but it was worth it.

Subaru's suite of electronic safety aids includes a lot of capability, such as Forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, and automatic braking to avoid low-speed collisions.  EyeSight can warn when it senses that you're nodding off based on steering patterns.  It can even tell you to go if the car ahead of you at a light drives off and you're still sitting there texting. 

The new Outback 3.6R Limited with Eyesight starts at a sticker price around $36,835, and you get a lot of additional equipment for the dough, including Moonroof, Keyless Access and Start, and Navigation.  For Consumer Reports' car, it wasn't that much more than a 2006 Outback 3.0R VDC that test drove brand-new, so the Outback really hasn't gone up that much in price in eight years, but obtained a ton of other new and exciting features.    

Premier Subaru has great news though!  We have a number of Outbacks with Eyesight earmarked for our store that are not spoken for - at least not yet.  To find out more about availability, please contact us at 1(800) 411-4551.

Can KIA make the Minivan cool? We give you the Sedona


The Minivan Segment has risen about five to 10 percent in recent years, so KIA has revamped the Sedona for 2015.
The redesigned Sedona by Peter Schreyer looks increasingly better than the outgoing model and, arguably, much better than any competing models. Many design cues have been taken from vehicles of the SUV type, including the mesh grille, 18 and 19 inch wheels, and Xenon Headlights with LED accents and LED taillights, giving the Sedona a more rugged feel, while still not entirely distancing itself from minivan.
The 3.3 Liter V6 has a 6-speed automatic, gets 276 horsepower, and most importantly gets between 18 to 24 miles per gallon. Inside the cabin are an 8 inch display screen, standard steering wheel controls, and available heated and ventilated front seats to appeal to non-traditional minivan buyers. These are just some of the items available.

Esteban did a really great job - and we loved working with him, all the way through the sales process. He knew when To offer advice, give us alone time to reflect, and was excellent on the many features of the new car. We really enjoyed Dealing with him.

Cindy went above and beyond to make sure that my first car buying experience was the best that it could possibly be. Even when I changed my mind last minute, Cindy did not show any signs of frustration with my indecisiveness, butWas reassured me she would do everything she could to make sure I was happy with whatever decision I made.

Adorable Adoptable Animals

Every month, we highlight a pet that is in need of a good home in the Branford area. 

This is Pumpkin. Pumpkin is an adorable chi/wired hair terrier mix that was abandoned near the Pine Orchard Country Club a few weeks ago. She just wants to be loved and adored. She has met some other dogs and has done really well. At first she appears to have a napolean complex but she gets over herself fairly quickly with big dogs. She would like a family that could love her to pieces and promise her that she will never be abandoned again! She is about 9 pounds. To find out more about Pumpkin, or pets like her, click here.
