Subaru Crosstrek & Outback Success: Celebrating Community Connections and Our Annual Subaru Loves Pets Adoption Event!

At Competition Subaru, we’re thrilled to see how much people are enjoying the Subaru lineup! With the Subaru Crosstrek gaining popularity and the Subaru Outback continuing to shine, we couldn't be happier to connect with both first-time buyers and loyal Subaru owners. It’s fantastic to see so many families choosing Subaru, especially knowing how well our vehicles support car seats and provide a safe, comfortable ride for little ones.

Troy Poston, Senior Vice President of Sales at Subaru of America, Inc., recently shared,

"With Crosstrek’s popularity steadily growing and Outback seeing continued success, both carlines closed out the month with very strong results, connecting with both first-time and returning Subaru owners. As retailers support their local animal shelters during Subaru Loves Pets this month, customers may even find a new road trip companion while visiting the showroom or Service Center."

This achievement reflects the love and trust drivers have for these models, which perfectly blend versatility and reliability for all your adventures. As we welcome both new customers and returning friends into our showroom, we’re reminded of the strong connections we build within our community.

Your experiences fuel our passion for providing exceptional service and support:

"This is our fourth lease with Competition Subaru of Smithtown. They are always accommodating and attentive to details. Farrell was fantastic and we love the car." -Jason, October 2nd, 2024

"Competition Subaru is extremely helpful and attentive to any and all needs pertaining to my car, its routine visits and scheduled maintenance as well as any other questions I’ve accrued along the way. All the Service Consultants are there to lend a hand and put me at ease with any concerns. Everyone there is in good spirits and knowledgeable. I look forward to each visit knowing I’m in good hands as well as my car. I’m thankful for the positive atmosphere and how helpful the staff are and how safety is always put first." -Casey, October 2nd, 2024

"To whom it may concern: I wish to once again commend Rodney the sales consultant for his overwhelming knowledge and understanding of what the consumer is looking for and needs in a very professional manner. This is my fifth Subaru i could not be any happier thanks to Rodney. Rodney is a tremendous asset to the Subaru dealership.. Thank you!!" -Sam, October 1st, 2024

As we celebrate these successes, we’re also proud to announce our annual Subaru Loves Pets Adoption Event in partnership with Pawsitive Possibilities Rescue, Inc. This month, as retailers support their local animal shelters, our showroom and service center will become a welcoming space for those looking to find a new road trip companion as we host our Adoption Event on October 13th, 2024! RSVP today! You may just discover the perfect furry friend to join your adventures!


This adoption event is a part of our broader philanthropic efforts under the Subaru Love Promise Subaru Loves Learning mission, where we continue to champion education initiatives for children in our community. Our recent sponsorship of Alternatives for Children is just one of the many ways we’re giving back.

We also had a fantastic time at the Subaru Motorsports Car Show featuring Bucky Lasek, EFI Logics, Subimods.com, and local favorite Terry and Yaki, where the community came together to celebrate Subaru passion and camaraderie.

But that’s not all! We’re excited to see the growing popularity across the entire Subaru lineup, including the fantastic electric Subaru Solterra, which represents our commitment to sustainability and innovation. Additionally, the beloved 2024 Subaru Impreza RS is making waves among both New and returning Subaru enthusiasts.


At Competition Subaru, we believe in building a strong community, and events like Subaru Loves Pets help us connect with our customers and support local animal shelters. We invite you to join us for this special adoption event, where you can find a new companion, whether- four-legged or four-wheeled, and make a difference in a pet’s life.
