[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you work for Subaru? Is that what this is? [/quote]

Pp 6:55, 12:17, 19:46. Op asked for people that own one, I do. I don’t work for Subaru, but our first forester saved our lives when we were hit by an RV, launched off the highway, and rolled 3-4 times, and we all walked away - so I am somewhat partial and appreciate their attention to sight and safety. We needed a third row suv when the ascent was coming out - it had what we liked from the forester - large windows, good visibility, plus a lot of improvements that set it apart from the competition. When they brought them around the dealerships for show and ride along we were surprised how much more refined they were than the forester and decided to wait. I have borrowed a new highlander and didn’t really care for it, and was not impressed by the pilot during test drives. It was a pretty easy decision for us once they got them in the dealerships for test drives.

We have a V8 4Runner and used to have a V8 Jeep. I love the 4Runner and the ascent drives better, in my opinion. The V8 Jeep sucked, it didn’t drive well, had a myriad of problems, struggled uphill, and I couldn’t wait to be rid of it - a pox on anyone that recommends a Jeep to anyone.

I find it odd that the gripe is that it is underpowered compared to much larger suvs - everything in that midsize class is. The ascent isn’t underpowered compared to the highlander or the pilot. If you are in the market for a midsize suv the ascent is a great option (consumer reports agrees, which carries more weight than my anonymous opinion). If you need something the size of a suburban or need to haul a space shuttle, it’s not for you - but neither are any of the other midsize suvs. [/quote]
