I am driving 2019 ascent
I am driving 2019 ascent touring without any problem at all. Have already 43K on it.
I am looking for completed new generation of this model Subaru. One complain:
2.4 turbo is not strong enough for such a large vehicle. One or two person with a very small cargo can give you aprox 23.5 MPG on Hwy on speed 75MPH. City is between 19-20 MPG max. This car need stronger engine with better torque on lower RPM. Before I had Outback 3.6R and I could kiss a hood of this car for performance. This engine was awesome : low RPM on hi speed and quieter of course then 2.4 turbo on ascent. For car with a price 47+ K you expecting something much better and more comfort. This is not general complain, because as I said on beginning I love this car, that's only my observation , aha one more: I would like to have touring with middle bench like 8 pass not for 7 pass with quad seats.
