If I did not get that good experience, I would have gone for either Mazda or Subaru too.

A good car still won't make you feel good in the end if the sales experience leaves a bitter taste......
Service yes. Sales no. I would describe my new car purchase as ok. Not good, not bad. But at the end of the day the only thing that really matters to me is the price. Like any bad experience in life you put it behind you and move on. If you are going to reflect on a poor sales experience, despite liking the car, then you need anger management.

Service is a little different because that's ongoing and you will always have to think ahead till the next service. However, if one dealer upsets you there are many others to choose from.
