So I finally saw my first Ascent in the wild (at New York Deli News for my fellow Denver-ites), and got a chance to talk with the owner...overall the feedback was not totally awesome. I am looking for some second options.
1. AVH- She told me that she HATES this feature. That you really need hit mash on the gas peddle for the car to start moving again. And makes it difficult to pull into her garage. (Though I would think this is more of an Eyesight issue)
2. LKA- She said it is WAYYYYYY to aggressive and sensitive. If the vehicle senses you are drifting, it seems to over correct and freaks her out.
3. Dimensions- This is the big one to me. See said that the actual size of the Ascent is much bigger than the numbers that Subaru released. She told me it barley fits in her garage. Where her previous Pilot had plenty of room (don't know what year the Pilot was).
This conversation happened has we were both walking into a restaurant for lunch. She actually ran into my wife at the bathroom later, and stated that she felt that she scared us a little. And over all they to really do like the Ascent.
I know that AVH and the LKA have both been discussed on the Forum. And I'll need to form my own option, but the dimensions thing really worries me. Any chance someone would want to try and actually measure the length of their Ascent? I know that is certainly easier said than done...to get it precise. My 03 Taco is 203" long and I don't have much garage space to spare.
Thanks guys...you're the best!:smile:
