Ascent is my first choice in Subaru

Great driving car. So much room. Technology outstanding. Tows unbelievable weight, I’d take one in a heartbeat. Love the full sky roof. The lane assist option is really amazing.

Best car for family & anyone needing cupholders

This car met all of my needs & wants and then some!!! There is plenty of legroom in the third row to fit a 6ft person! We have the Touring Model so it came with all the bells and whistles, and we added all weather interior liners for floors. With 19 cupholders you will NEVER run out space to put your or anyone else's drinks!!! I will definitely be staying with Subaru Ascent for next 15 yrs or so. Will trade in every few years to get the newer models :)

great car so far

switched from a rear drive vehicle - i'm sure that the Ascent will be far more stable in our future Syracuse winters. I may not even purchase separate rims with snow tires for this vehicle.

Really surprised and I love it

Car is very spacious and the safety features make this car a slam dunk!! After taking my family to the beach this past weekend I can honestly say this was the best purchase I’ve made in a looooong time!

I just bought it, but I sure love it already

It meets and exceeds all of my expectations. Nice looking car, super smooth drive and feel, great pickup, roomy. Safety and convenience features I have never had before. This is my 3rd Subaru, and they just keep getting better.

Can't Go Wrong With a Subaru

I traded my 2013 F-150 EcoBoost for this Subaru. I wanted 3rd row seating and was so happy to see Subaru came out with the Ascent. I LOVED my truck (heated/cooled leather seats, sunroof, navi, etc); but this Subaru is really making me happy so far. Excellent gas mileage, comfortable drive and I know it will last a LONG time.

Problem with battery drain when tailgate is left o

I purchased this car to take my 3 dogs to hunt trails and training in the field. Need to leave windows and tailgate open for many hours. We are now learning that you cannot leave tailgate open without draining battery. It has nothing to do with interior lights. The car pulls 4 amps when the tailgate is open. Campers, dog owners, and others are learning the hard way. Subaru of America has no fix.

The new Subaru Assent

Has a very comfortable ride. Sets up high enough to give you great visibility. Interior has less road noise than others. Good gas mileage for the size of the car and all wheel drive

A size upgrade we've been waiting for.

The Ascent is a size upgrade in Subaru's offering that we have been waiting for. There isn't a thing I don't like about it. Love it!
