Subaru Ascent for Sale in Richmond, VA

I did extensive research on mid-size SUVs. I hadn't really considered the Ascent until I checked Consumer Reports. I figured I would give it a test drive. That was the deciding factor. I haven't regretted the purchase. It is a comfortable, nimble and reliable vehicle. I could add several more positive adjectives but you get the idea.

We love our Subaru’s and we were so excited when they came out with a model with a third row. Two weeks in and we love it, we are currently on a road trip and it’s been terr.

Rides and drives like a Luxury Sports Car. Safest car I’ve ever been in. Best car for the money and an absolute joy to drive

I was waiting for a 3 row vehicle from Subaru and it exceeded my expectations really happy with the purchase and most of all I know my wife is too.

We are about 2 months into our Ascent ownership and it’s one of the best vehicles we’ve ever owned. We compared it to the Toyota Highlander, Acura RDX, Lexus RX and Infiniti QX50 and 60 and nothing else compared. The Ascent had so many more features for the money, rode better and had all of the latest tech. Super comfortable seats and a smooth ride is what we enjoy most. Highlander is ancient next to the Ascent, Acura had a terrible ride and the Lexus and Infiniti’s lacked basic things like Apple CarPlay and were so over priced when adding features. It’s not the flashiest suv on the road but it’s the best all around SUV out there for the price.

First and foremost I would not classify myself as a Subaru owner for life. The 2019 Ascent is the second Subaru I’ve owned. I formulated most of my opinions about Subaru from the 2014 Legacy I own (and still drive daily). First of all this thing is massive. If you’re buying or considering buying the Ascent because of its fuel economy I would think twice. I definitely did not buy the Ascent for its mpg capability. Power and drive: This thing is fast, and feels fast. When you stomp the pedal it has tons of power thanks to that turbocharger under the hood. That’s great but just remember you’re getting 5mpg with the pedal mashed to the floor. At crushing speeds (65-75) driving flat and inclines I averaged 24 mpg on. 700 mile road trip. When I needed power it was there and when I needed fuel economy it was there also. The AWD system is on all the time and in the rain and snow I literally do not wonder if I’ll need to slow down but rather you need to figure out how to get through traffic. Technology: I opted for the limited trim with the technology package. The panoramic sunroof is beautiful and has worked as advertised. My ONLY complaint is that the sound system is lacking. The Harmon kardon sound system is basic at best in this thing. The sound system in my 2014 premium model Legacy sounds amazing compared to this thing. The touchscreen is responsive however, and the apple car play features are extremely convenient. Safety: the Eyesoght system is cool. I had never owned a car with it before so of course I have a few things I don’t like about it. What I do like about it is it’s safe. If the eyesight system thinks you are in danger it will slow you down and most of the time do it faster than you. My wife and kids are in this car everyday and I am comfortable knowing that eyesight has their back. Now on to the things I personally don’t like about eyesight. Adaptive cruise control. It would be nice if you could turn Eyesight off...and just cruise. It is a minor nuisance BUT you must know....without eyesight...you have no cruise control. When it’s raining and you are on a road trip with cruise control set, of eyesight trips off your car will slam forward and you will get freaked out as to “why is my car slowing down”. It would be REALLY convenient if Subaru had an option to just let the car cruise...without the adaptive cruise control feature, just like my 2014 Legacy. Comfort and convenience: 19 cup Holders is not that big of a deal to me but it’s nice having cup holders for my kids. THEY think it’s cool and it’s one less thing to fight about on a road trip. The seats are extremely comfortable over long distances and the real win is the amount of USB ports located throughout the car. Last and most important....space. If you’re think about this car for the cargo space you will not be disappointed. It’s huge...and there is a ton of room. This is the first road trip where everyone got to bring their suitcase and I never had to say “we don’t ha e room for that”. To sum up this review, I would recommend the Ascent to someone who is a former Subaru owner who appreciates the AWD system and safety features that it has at its disposal. If you are looking for super awesome mpg and minimal cup holders you should look elsewhere. You will be hard pressed to find the used Subaru that you are looking for because people don’t get rid of them.

We've had 2 Subaru Foresters previously and had no problems what so ever. Buying an Ascent was not a hard decision. We wanted more room and comfort so we bought the Limited model. 4 months and aprox 7500 miles, both city and highway miles with no problems at all. Excellent vehicle

I own the premium trim and I love how the car runs. It drives very smooth and I feel safe with all the safety features.

The car looks good, drives great and performance is acceptable. The car is comfortable and quiet and both the interior and exterior are attractive. We don't know anything about reliability yet as the car is very new. Unfortunately it seems to have been designed by folks who are so smart they can make all our decisions for us. As a result, the user controls and the display interface are a total mess. That's why I downgraded the 'Interior Design' category.

This car is incredible. Got caught in a snow and ice storm and it handled better than our 4x4. Safety features are incredible. Love it
