Hey all :smile:
Greetings from Pennsylvania!!
I never owned any Subaru not even driven one before. But, me and my wife really liked the Ascent...especially subaru's safety features and AWD system. Having said that I also never owned any AWD or 4WD vehicle before. We currently owned VW passat TDI which I need to return to the VW by September (buy back program). We have only one child, but going for this Ascent because to keep it for coming 10+ years.
As of now, we have only 2 options VW Atlas or Ascent. We both test drove the Atlas and liked it very much and obviously Atlas is more spacious than Ascent (at least on the paper and considering I didn't see the Ascent in any of the auto show :sad
, but the reason we are thinking about Ascent is the AWD and Eye sight. Oh also we like our Passat's Fender premium audio system but if I go with Fender in Atlas its probably around 47k + tax. Ascent has an option for 14 speaker HK premium audio.
We haven't pre-ordered yet, but going to test drive the turbo charged Forester to feel the engine power and how it is compared to Atlas. I know Ascent will be a much bigger than Forester, but I'm sure Turbo Forester is the closest option I have. Also, I can check out the premium audio as well.
Hoping to get some thoughts from the members in deciding our next vehicle.
P.S: I really appreciate if anyone can tell me which one is better in Subaru eyesight and VW radar safety features. I'm not finding any good videos on VW apart from German VW vehicles which are not available here and they are premium safety features (i think)
Thanks
PB
