Love this car!

This car is perfect for my family of three boys. They have plenty of space with room to grow. It?s beautiful and functional. The safety features and ratings make me feel safe to drive it.

I wouldn't buy a Subaru if they gave it to me.

I wanted to buy a Subaru Ascent but the response from numerous Subaru dealerships was terrible. Two did not get back to me on a timely basis with my email inquiries, and another treated my like I was stupid and did not seem to want to engage in a transaction with me. Subaru thinks they are selling a flying car or something way out of the ordinary. They are not. I ended up buying a Toyota Highlander Hybrid instead of the Ascent Touring, and the Highlander is just as advanced in its safety features as the Subaru, and is a Hybrid so gets much better mileage. My treatment at Koons Toyota was like gold. Toyota gained a customer for life. Subaru lost one.

Reliability still needs to be proven long term

I've had the car since 6/23 (5 days) and so far I love it. Smooth ride, Quite, Lots of room, Easy set-up for: IPhone, SXM radio, Sound system, Air conditioning, seat adjustments are easy to find & adjust. Manual is easy to read and clear on how to work all the systems. Star-link system - "My Subaru" excellent service support. Love this SUV.

Most outstanding vehicle I have ever owned.

This new Subaru Ascent is by far most comfortable & stylish vehicle I have ever owned. We had shopped around for a medium sized SUV; looking at the Highlander & Pilot, but when we drove the Ascent, we were hooked. Fabulous car & bought from a fabulous dealer.
