2012 is bringing change to the world. And although it might be a minor change; the new Subaru Impreza is following that trend. Still calling on its Rally inspired background, the 2012 Impreza is fun to drive, quick, it grips … Continue reading

Did you know the new 2012 Subaru Imprezathat hit the showroom November 28th receives 36 MPG? Yeah, you’ll be going places….and then some.
I met Kristi when she came in to purchase a 2012 Outback. She was looking for a car that offered lots of interior space, a roof rack for skis, blue tooth, and plenty of clearance. Kristi owns a local landscaping business out of Stowe and motors to clients houses between Stowe and Morrisville. She is on the VIP program of affiliation of the Vermont Ski association. Kristi 
definitely takes advantage of the awesome outdoor seasonal sports that Vermont has to offer and the Outback is perfect for transporting her and her equipment in
comfort and style. She is one of the “greenest” people I know of as well. She utilizes her Outback as a traveling greenhouse and the fact that Subaru offers certified Partial Zero Emission Vehicles (PZEV) made her BIG green heart melt. Kristi loves keeping our earth as green as possible and so does her Subaru. Another love match for the books.
The biggest gift is when I find the perfect car for someone; however this match yielded even more than I hoped for. I met Theodore and Joan when they came in the trade their 1999 Toyota Camry (in excellent condition with only 115,000 miles) for a 2004 Forester. They loved the visibility and height the Forester had to offer along with the extreme comfort. Theodore and Joan live in Huntington where they have a working
farm, where they house 15 tractors! They can be seen motoring from Huntington to Richmond for the farmers markets. So beyond finding a perfect match for this lovely couple, upon the delivery of the 04 Forester, I also received the most delicious apple pie from Joan. This pie was so beautiful that I selfishly wanted to keep it for myself so instead of taking it into the dealership where everyone would have wanted to grab a taste, I hid in on top of my rear wheel. After a full day of selling, I packed up my car and began heading out of the lot when I remembered….MY PIE!!!!! I must have some pretty good “car”ma as the pie was safely nestled in the wheel cover (thank goodness Joan triple wrapped it) and I was able to enjoy the fruits of her labor at home. Joan and Theodore exemplify love. They have been married for 53 years and are still going strong. I’m a confident that their new
Subaru will mimic this love and steadiness.
I recently had the honor and priviledge to aid my own brother, Justin , and his wife Denise in his purchase of a 2011 Outback Limited 6 cylinder. Justin is a sales rep for a food manufactoring service based out of LA and travels on average 500 miles a week. It was an easy decision as he had grown to love my Subaru from his visits with me, motoring around Vermont. It was an unique sell as I aided him in purcahse and negotiating telecommunicating from Montpelier to LA. So, beyond owning the car with all the comfort and adminities, Justin has many traits that are becoming. He is as sharp as a tack, the proud owner of the coolest Boston Terrier, Bell (who does some traveling with him), and a wine conessuer. In his spare time, Justin can be found motoring around California attending wine tastings/pairings. So I raise a glass of 2007 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 
and toast to him on an amazing pairing (he and the Outback of course) and many ripe seasons in his Subaru.
Nothing makes me smile bigger than hearing from my guests about how “in love” they are with their Subaru purchase. George takes the cake when it comes to Subaru enthusiasm. He bought his 2011 Outback in the beginning of summer for his wife and 2 kids. He is a teacher out of Montpelier and a HUGE soccer buff as he is a principle in the Capitol Soccer Club. He can be seen motoring his Subaru from East Montpelier to Waterbury as he traverses his team for the goal. He even gave me the soccer ball he had brought to his appointment, which I think he would be happy to know has been passed onto a great kid who saw it on my desk and promised it miles of energy. George continues to update me on his joys of being a Subaru owner and I am delighted for every call/email. It is people like George whom I created this website for. His pure excitement for the car that facilitates the means of transportation for his many 
activites is the fuel that drives me to make these “love matches”. G O A L!
They say opposites attract and this was very apparent in meeting Jennifer and Mitch.
The pair came in to trade their Ford Focus for the Limited Edition 2011 Outback and upon
hearing their story KNEW this had to make it’s way onto the website. Jennifer and Mitch 
are both teachers who reside in Randolph with 14 Shelties…yes, I said F O U R T E E N!
If you have ever met a Sheltie you know that they are high energy, loving and quirky; an amazing personality match for Jennifer. She radiates this high energy and it’s easy to see and hear her love for her pack of Shelties. Jennifer is the handler of Paris (pictured) who competes at dog shows. Mitch on the other hand is about the most easy going, laid back guy I have met. His devotion to the family is just as apparent with the 5 vehicles he owns to transport the pups. They were in need of a car that was able to carry multiple dog carriers and meet their expectations of comfort. The Outback was perfect for them. I also met their daughter Ashley who made my day by placing a jazzercise sticker on the back of Chandler’s,our Sales Manager, Subaru. Ashley ordered a 2012 Impreza. To say that this family unit is unique and fun loving is a gross understatement. I hope to hear of the many adventures they motor in their new Outback.
In my line of work, I have the pleasure of not only meeting new and interesting
faces/personalities but their counterparts and most trusted friends, family and even pets.
It is an even greater pleasure when I get the opportunity to help them in finding their
car(s) over time. Caroline is one of my repeat guests and this is one of those encounters.
I met Caroline and her golden retrievers (Sam and Harry)when she came in to trade her 2010 Outback for the 2011 Limited Edition Forester, upgraded to the guild,leather interior and navigation; all the bells and whistles to ensure all passengers happiness.She resides in Montpelier and works as a Senior Executive ad rep for “The Point” and often takes her blonde friends with her on appointments up to Burlington. On the top of her list of must haves was a high comfort level for her back and space for the pups, something the Forrester was easily able to accomodate. I enjoy taking photos and with the start of this website project, decided to (with permission) take photos of my happy guests when they find the perfect Subaru for them. This photo shoot very quickly had a star(s) performer, that being Sam and Harry. They were some of the most attentive, lovable and obedient pets I have ever met. It was a real treat to not only meet Caroline but these amazing dogs
as well. The purchase was not complete without Caroline’s daughters, Anna, stamp
of approval, but with that I know that they will all have all of their 
criteria met in the Forrester and have many happy tail wags ahead. 100% Pup Approved.
