Barrie Subaru

A very enjoyable experience After owning another make of vehicle for 21 years we decided to check out the Forester because we had heard good things about Subaru. We visited Barr After owning another make of vehicle for 21 years we decided to check out the Forester because we had heard good things about Subaru. We visited Barrie Subaru where Michelle Payne immediately introduced herself. She was very friendly and proceeded to explain the many features on the Forester. We told her we were not ready to purchase a vehicle immediately and she did not put any pressure on us. Several weeks later we returned to see Michelle and took a test drive. We were very impressed with the handling of the car and decided to purchase the Forester that day. Since taking possession of the car we have returned to Barrie Subaru to ask more questions and Michelle and the other employees have been really friendly and helpful. More

The Best Car-buying Experience Yet!! After researching Consumers' Report, Suburu was our 1st stop. Of all the dealerships, the sales persons were no match for Michelle Payne. Even thoug After researching Consumers' Report, Suburu was our 1st stop. Of all the dealerships, the sales persons were no match for Michelle Payne. Even though we were not buying for a while. she gave us her full attention, was very knowledgeable about the Forester and able to answer all our questions. She provided lots of valuable input and suggestions, and showed us videos and grafts. Her attention to detail during the test drive was impressive. When it came to pricing extras, she was able to point out that some of our ideas would not work well with the Forester, for example, the hood and roof wind deflectors, and suggested others. She was so enthusiastic about the vehicle we were looking at. What a delightful young lady! There was no "sales pressure". She make us feel comfortable from the very start. We returned several times to compare the vehicle with others and just to look at it. If she was not available, and other sales persons were, we would say "no thank you" and return another time. We only wanted Michelle. She was not only capable of talking "cars", but was able to engage in other topics, for example, life experience, hobbies and family. This really put us at ease. It was almost like dealing with our own daughter. We finally decided on purchasing the Suburu Forester, 2.5I Limited package with "Eyesight Design". On delivery, she took time to walk us through the many functions of the vehicle. She also stated that we could return at any time if we had questions or concerns. As we were unsure of what to do with our old SUV, she suggested that Suburu could handle the resale and did to our satisfaction. Of all our car purchases over the past 55 years, this has to be the best yet! We would like to thank Michelle for her patience and making our purchase an enjoyable experience. We certainly enjoy our new Forester. More

There was so much to learn about this new vehicle and Michelle was very helpful and had the answers to all our questions. More

Low pressure, friendly experience. Michelle was the first friendly face we met when we went in to look at the Subarus. We knew we wanted either an Outback or a Forester. Michelle was ve Michelle was the first friendly face we met when we went in to look at the Subarus. We knew we wanted either an Outback or a Forester. Michelle was very patient explaining the difference between the two cars and allowing me to come in twice to test drive both. She was very helpful dealing with my trade in. I never felt rushed or pressured with my decisions. The only pressure came from the popularity of the product and how quickly the car inventory was being sold. She followed up after the purchase to make sure I was satisfied with my new Outback. All in all a pleasant car buying experience. More

Great Experience at Barrie Subaru! My wife and I were considering purchasing a Subaru so we called Barrie Subaru and arranged an appointment with Michelle Payne. We were attracted to th My wife and I were considering purchasing a Subaru so we called Barrie Subaru and arranged an appointment with Michelle Payne. We were attracted to the brand by the safety ratings and depreciation. Michelle met us at the agreed time and we immediately felt at ease. She was very patient with us as she explained her vehicles. She was friendly and inspired confidence. There was no problem in arranging demonstration vehicles to drive. She was very thorough and accommodating. We had a vehicle to trade and Michelle and the dealership were transparent in their process and we were satisfied with the price that we received for our trade-in. We were unsure whether we should purchase a Forester or an Outback but ultimately chose the Outback. We were so pleased with the vehicle and the purchase experience that we decided to trade our other car for a Forester! We are now enjoying both our new cars and have had a very positive experience at Barrie Subaru. Thanks Michelle! More

We learned a great deal from Michelle about the cars we were interested in and narrowed down which option suited our needs most. After our test drive we knew what we wanted. She was fair, considerate and we always felt she was assisting us to get the best car and price ( for our trade in). Michelle introduced us to all of the people we would meet and deal with when we come back for service. Love the car and will be back for another in the future. More

Michelle Payne was exce Wanting to buy a new vehicle after over 25 years of used cars I made a thorough investigation of all available smaller SUV's. Michelle Payne was exceptionally helpful not only in helping me understand the many advantages offered by the Subaru Forester but also in answering my many questions about design characteristics and features compared to the many competitive makes that I test drove. Having just completed my 10K service after only 4 months of driving, I must admit Michelle and my Forester haven't let me down. I am extremely happy with my first Subaru. More

Michelle Payne helped a lot with that research and, in the end, she came up with the deal we were looking for. And so we bought. I love the car, how it handles, how it accelerates, how it looks, etc. I would not trade my car for any of the other cars we tried out. More
