earlier this year I attended the Philly car show and fell in love with the Ascent
Last week I went to see the Ascent Touring model on display at my local dealership.
I only spent 10-15 minutes checking it out as the showroom was crowded.
3 things that i noticed that could be done better
1)
The front hood has a mechanical prop bar holding it up.
The bar was visibly bent because customers and sales agents attempted to close the hood while engaged
My guess is this was done out of habit thinking they were closing a car hood supported by pistons
it happened while I was sitting in the driver seat
2)
the large moonroof interior cover is only a fabric
it reminded me of a 50's roof liner
a more elegant solution with a molded interior body is needed
3)
the driver's side front seat reclines into the passengers sitting in the second-row captains chairs
I only mention this to Subaru as a safety concern for children left unattended
do not know if this is an issue for passenger side front seat as well
Overall I really like the Ascent and look forward to taking delivery
I preordered a Touring model with a towing package
