Dealer Review:
Horrible experience. Strongly warn against trusting this company.
I found a solid deal on their site for the exact car I was looking for, and was told it was "Shift Certified" by their 150 point in house inspection. Okay, so sounds like it's in great working shape.
I drive an hour and a half to test drive the car, and the convertible top isn't working. I tell the salesman I would have bought the car on the spot, except a faulty convertible top could mean thousands in repairs. I tell them to please fix the convertible top and call me back as soon as its fixed.
I don't get any calls. I call a few days later to check in, they say the techs are working on it.
This morning, a few days later, I wake up and see a "sale pending" notification online for the car. I call Shift hoping it's some kind of mistake, and guess what...
They fixed the convertible top yesterday, and never called me, emailed me, or texted me to let me know as I'd requested. And instead, they sold it to someone else.
The hilarious thing? For all that F-, non personal, non thoughtful, dishonest service, they still charge a $1000 "dealer fee" with every sale – despite their 150 point inspection not being thorough enough to even catch a non working convertible top.
Not only will I never be doing businesses with Shift again, but I will be warn every car buyer I know against them. If this is the future of car buying, the buyer is fully screwed.

I received an exact quote before driving over 300 miles to test drive a vehicle. That is what I paid. The car was what they said. I could not be happier! Thank You to Keith, for the quote, and Joseph for the onsite transaction!

Dealer Review:
I contacted WH Lexus inquiring about a Lexus that was hard to find. My salesperson "Bryan Webster" was very informative and responded quickly and professionally which as a professional myself appreciated that. I've never bought a car this way but Bryan expedited my application and paperwork so I could purchase this before it was gone. Here is the kicker, Bryan drove the Lexus and delivered the paperwork to me " a 200 mile drive" I was showed the car and it's features then I signed the paperwork and he took a Uber back to the dealership... This was beyond any of my expectations.. I highly recommend Bryan and WH Lexus...

Dealer Review:
Today I reached out to the sales team to get some information and was helped by Jesus Branco (Sales Manager) who was professional and gave a fair offer on the car I was interested in, and shortly after that, I went to the dealership and leased my new Giulia. Since I arrived, Camilio Brower was there to help me through the process professionally which made the process smooth and pleasant. I really recommend the Glendale Alfa Romeo to whoever is looking for a great car with a great deal

This is the "utility" review. I've now owned this vehicle for two years and 35,000 miles. I no longer have a daily commute, but we get thousands of miles going to and fro the wilderness. I volunteer hundreds of hours annually for the U.S. Forest Service. In the spring, summer and fall am regularly on forest roads, gravel, grass and mud. I am usually getting somewhere for a work project in the back country. I navigated around a downed tree blocking the road by driving down and into the muddied ditch alongside the roadway. The car handles superbly on steep dirt roads. I am 5'6" so having the seat able to get up high allows me even better visibility. Muddy roads and crossing small brooks are regular events. It's also great at getting in and around tight spaces where the road (if you call it that) is narrow and not well tended to.
Last spring, I came upon a 3' high, heavy spring snow and ice pile a plow left across the road. I didn't feel like walking the last 1/4 mile, so I pushed my way through it quite handily. Might not have been the brightest move, since it did break loose some of the plastic ski guard under the engine.
The ground clearance is really what gives me the flexibility to go over things, especially protruding rocks in the road.
360 degree driver visibility is wonderful. Add to that the large sunroof and I always feel like I'm outside.
I rarely have passengers any more, but you always will find my car loaded with dirty tools, emergency supplies, blankets, paint, ropes, packs, food, tents, and even the trusty old yoga mat. Admittedly the car does not get cleaned much inside and out. The rubber mats are a life saver.
I do wish the cargo space was a tad bit longer. Some things have to go in diagonally or down over the center console. But a big reason I bought this
The roof racks have hauled 2-bys and pipes with ease. I do wish there were more little storage spaces to put things I use now and then.
Replacing the cabin and air filters (which I need to do more than most) is a snap. Its a easy,clean, five minute job and probably saves me $50.
I would agree that the seats are not as plushy as my old Audi, but I knew that going in and it doesn't bother me.
Got plenty of USB ports and I use them mostly to play memory sticks full of tunes. They really gotta work on playlist features when the music is on usb.
I use bluetooth always for phone. Callers still say the car cabin sounds very noisy. this is another thing they can fix in software.
I get amazing gas mileage. In the summer, it's 32-34 mpg. I keep the highway speeds down to 65-60. That includes forest road and mountain steeps. In the winter, I have winter tires all around , that takes it down to 28mph. I could care less about this lame metric of needing more power for passing. I do just fine. Just don't don't attempt dangerous passing folks; chill.
Handling in the winter with snows is the only way to go. Just chugs along the steep road and bend to our ski lodge. It's nice and warm in the winter, clears the windows great on those snowy, sleet, hail days. I swear by winter tires here in New England.
Not had any issues with the CVT that I've been reading about. I find that frightening since I plan to keep this vehicle for 200,000 miles or 10 years as I do all my cars. I no longer try to punch the gas pedal immediately after I shift into drive. If I do that I experience what seems to be hesitancy. It's just the car not having "shifted into gear". Wait a couple seconds until you hear the load go on the engine and a slight change in pedal pressure. Then go.
I really hate touch screens. I always end up touching things I don't want changed. I would prefer having more programmable physical knobs. Speaking of hate, I never liked the toy sounding horns, so I replaced mine with a 300/500 electric horn. Doesn't sound like and 18 wheeler, but it does sound like something big!
