Used Cars at South Sound Trucks


If you are in the market for a used car, you might not think of a truck dealership as the best place to shop. South Sound Trucks in the Olympia Auto Mall has more than trucks on their lot.
They have an inventory of more than 300 used trucks and cars. Import brands like Acura, Audi, BMW, and American brands like Chevy, Ford, and Dodge are represented here.
If a quality used truck is what you are looking for, South Sound has you covered. Everything from low mileage mid-sized pick-ups to all out lifted rigs, and 4-wheel drive models.
Check out the inventory online or better yet, make the short trip to the Olympia Auto Mall, stop and let the knowledgeable staff at South Sound Trucks show you your next used truck…or car! You can get pre-qualified financing online, and they also have a great service center with easy online scheduling.
Spring is almost here, and there is no better time to take a test drive and go home with your next new or used car or truck. We look forward to seeing all our friends from the greater Olympia, Tacoma, and Puyallup areas soon.

2018 Volkswagen Jetta


German design of the 2018 Volkswagen Jetta appeals to the driver that is looking for plenty of space, solid feel, with the typical European driving experience.

This is a very competent, well rounded sedan with a solid feel, roomy interior, that has great performance combined with good fuel economy.

The 1.4-liter, 150-hp turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline variant, introduced for the 2016 model year, might be the most satisfying of all the small turbos on the market.

Driving any version of the Jetta is a joy, with agile handling that makes the car fun to drive. It also rides quite comfortably. The suspension delivers steady composure on the highway with some underlying firmness at low urban speeds. The cabin is relatively quiet by class standards.

If you are looking for more excitement, the GTI version might be for you. This is a credible sports sedan that delivers high performance, handling, and acceleration. Power is supplied by a 210-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine that still achieves 27 mpg. Shifting is supplied by a six-speed DSG automatic transmission.

Whichever model you choose, you will enjoy plenty of cabin space, trunk capacity, and lots of cool technology.  Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, and safety features like forward collision warning, blind spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control are just a few features that sets this sports sedan apart from its competition.

Talk to the friendly staff at Volkswagen of Olympia, conveniently located in the Olympia Auto Mall, and they will be happy to put you behind the wheel of the 2018 Jetta and feel what German engineering can offer.

2018 Subaru WRX


All wheel drive, 270 hp, and a six-speed transmission in a four-door sports sedan. That is what you will get in the 2018 Subaru WRX (World Rally eXperimental).

While staying true to the established formula, the current WRX is a little larger than the last generation, affording a more spacious rear seat; the five-speed manual transmission became a six-speed; and higher trims now offer a CVT automatic. For 2018, the WRX has a freshened exterior, revised suspension, upgraded interior, and new EyeSight features. Despite evolving, the car feels surprisingly raw, remaining a track-ready racer aimed at the serious driving enthusiast. Acceleration is ferociously quick, and handling remains enormously capable.

Make no mistake, this is not a luxury sedan with a cushy ride. You must be truly young at heart to enjoy the real-world driving experience. All wheel drive makes this car handle fantastic in the dry and if you install a set of winter tires, this car is amazing in the wet as well. Cornering grip is astonishing. Its top speed through a double-lane-change avoidance maneuver was 59 mph -- better than the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and on the heels of the Porsche 911. It was also easy to control and instilled plenty of driver confidence.

With 268-hp on tap from its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the WRX takes off very quickly, sprinting to 60 mph in 6.0 seconds. The STi mod features leather seats, and comes with a 305-hp, 2.5-liter four cylinder. Interior features nice fit and finish throughout the cabin. Touch screen sound system and navigation are also available.

When you’re ready to sit behind the wheel of this legendary sports sedan, go see the nice folks at Hanson Motors Subaru in the Olympia Auto Mall and feel how impressive the 2018 WRX really is. You will be amazed. See you soon.
