#1 of 4 Lack of Subaru dealerships in the midwest by rmacarthur Nov 08, 2008 (7:25 pm)
I live in Oklahoma and have considered the new Forester. I inquired Subaru for a list of Subaru dealerships in Oklahoma. There are two (2) in the entire state. One is in Norman and the other in Tulsa--100 miles apart. No others, zip. So then I checked the number of dealerships in Kansas and Nebraska and find the same thing, one or maybe two per state. Subaru does not seem to be interested in selling vehicles in the central southern US and that is a shame. Dealer service is important to me and many others. What a shame that Subaru has actually reduced dealerships in Oklahoma (there used to be one in Shawnee but not now.) So if driving through these states and your Subara has a problem good luck as the nearest dealership may be more than a hundred miles away---an expensive tow in. So I have to rule out the new Forester and any other Subaru as they seem to only want to sell cars in snow country. What a shame, they are fine vehicles. Guess I will have to go with the CRV, Honda has adequate dealerships almost anywhere. Replies to this message: lucien2 (Nov 09, 2008 7:04 am) toboggan (Nov 10, 2008 12:03 pm)

Replying to: rmacarthur (Nov 08, 2008 7:25 pm) Subaru dealers seem to be more concentrated in the mountains and snow belt. The Subaru AWD works very well in the snow. Especially when an area gets more than a few inches a year. In your case, where you are is not considered to be in a snow belt. If you want a Subaru badly enough, you'll get one even though the closest dealer is a bit of a drive.   The Honda CRV is a great vehicle. But its AWD doesn't compare to the subaru's AWD, IMHO.   MNSteve

Gosh, in New England you can't throw a rock and not hit a dealer. It's ridiculous. It seems like every exit has one in CT on I-95.   Subaru is definitely not well dispersed when it comes to dealers. They tend to be in the snow belt.
