I have 2015 Forester XT that I plan(ned) to keep for a while but Ascent made me think twice...
I never though that I would consider vehicle this big, but I was surprised how much I liked Ascent. I was born and raised in Europe so I like small cars and wagons in general (not SUVs) and 2015 Forester XT is perfect size for me (I am 6'3" and have 3 kids that fit comfortably behind me).
Since Subaru dropped Forester turbo for 2019, Ascent or potential 2020 Outback turbo would be only options for me to stay with the brand. If 2020 WRX hatch happens (which I doubt) I will try to convince my wife but that may be a stretch...
There are many more expensive Euro options that I can afford but I think Subaru turbo is perfect family vehicle for 3 kids and Chicago traffic/road quality.
