Second Subaru we have purchased!

We own a Subaru Forrester and have been very pleased with it. We wanted a larger SUV and found the Subaru Ascent fitted our needs. My husband is 6’5” tall and the Ascent has enough leg room . In most new SUV’s his knee hits the middle console. We also like all of it’s features.

Very reliable, roomy, and lots of power.

I'm really enjoying the Subaru Ascent. High quality SUV with plenty of leg room, head room, and cargo space in the back. Enough room to sleep in the back with the seats down. Plenty of power to pull a trailer or camper. Has the feel of solid quality. Highly recommend.

Nice Ride

This vehicle has all the bells and whistles. The interior electronics display has been easy to use and reach from the driver's seat. the handling on the highway and on winding roads has been a pleasure. The rough roads and bumps are quiet when driven over.

Safe and easy to drive 8-seater

The Ascent offers the best balance between safety, comfort, space, reliability, design and price. I don't like the tires, noisy at high speed and not lasting as I heard but the other things are just fine for the price

Does everything well

This SUV is just an overall great vehicle. The Ascent has excellent interior room, a quality interior, good gas mileage, good exterior looks, quality materials and workmanship and, has a comfortable ride as well. While some car magazines have criticized performance and handling, I can assure you both are more than adequate for most people, and nearly all driving conditions.
