The 2020 Subaru Legacy was one of the prominent highlights for Subaru automakers at the 2019 Chicago Auto Show. Representatives also confirmed the 2020 Subaru Outback will get a dramatic redesign. Many of the changes are expected to mimic that of the 2020 Subaru Legacy.

With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, we figured this would be a good time for a post on the best cars for couples. This means just two people madly in love with no kids in tow. Let’s take a look at some vehicles that are great for two people just dating, on their honeymoon, or on their anniversary.

The 2019 Subaru Forrester is a top choice. It has a large moonroof that makes it…

A lot of logistical work is in order after purchasing or leasing a vehicle. Our finance department will assist you with the number crunching. One issue that will come up is whether to opt for gap insurance. Many people have heard of gap insurance in passing but otherwise know little about it.

Pre-owned vehicles have traditionally been the go-to option for people buying their first car. However, we believe a car with a few thousand miles under its belt still has a lot to offer for everyone. Let’s explore some of the perks of going with a pre-owned Subaru model.

If budgeting is a concern, then we recommend a certified pre-owned car. Why? Certified vehicles must meet certain criteria. This includes being a recent model that…

Mark the date February 13, 2019 on your calendar. This is a big day for Gillman Subaru Southwest because that is when we hold our new owner clinic. This is a welcoming event for consumers of all backgrounds, from existing Subaru car owners to those ready to make their next vehicle purchase or lease.

So, what is a New Owner Clinic? Many consumers are not familiar with this term. Many dealerships actually hold a new…

One of the greatest questions for car owners is whether to bring their car to the dealership or independent auto shop. Many opt for the latter due to the perceived lower cost. However, we encourage Subaru car owners to reconsider. The cost is not necessarily cheaper in every instance.

The new 2019 Subaru Forester is finally here at Gillman Subaru Southwest. Whether you’re searching for exceptional performance capabilities or a roomy interior, this compact crossover will meet your standards. We even put it against the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, so you can understand why the Subaru Forester takes the lead.
