Yep. Not to mention, does RR have a system as good as Subaru's Eyesight? That for me would be the BIG selling point to my wife especially with kids involved.
Tell her she can buy the Ascent now or buy it later and pay triple the cost, when figuring in the depreciation on the Land Rover and the deplorable reliability of the Land Rover.
I'm paying for it! Ha
As a current owner of a Discovery Sport, I implore you and and your wife to reconsider getting a LR Sport. The LR Sport has so many issues, its extremely infuriating!!! We have so many electronic and software glitches, the list of problems is long! Their customer service/local dealerships are a joke too. Trying to get the Sport serviced is multiple weeks wait for an appointment...
Ummmmm...be careful. She married you, right? Slippery slope and all that! :grin:
Thanks for that. I've read about a lot of issues with them. I think pressing the safety features is what might convince her.
I drive a Chevy bolt. Great commuter car for me.
If it is a family car you want then the Subaru Ascent is the right choice...It is probably the safest car on the road today. Subaru does 3rd row safety testing , which they are not required to do...That is how serious they take the safety of your family,your children.
If it's to be a family hauler then safety is the angle I would take as Subaru's are built like tanks. 6 years ago at the end of long road trip we were t-boned on our way home when another driver ran a stop sign in Chicago. The other car hit the passenger side of our Forester which is where my first born, who was a few months old at the time, was riding. The initial impact didn't seems that severe as the Forester absorbed the impact without really transferring the energy into the cabin, in fact we were unaware of how hard we must have been hit until surveying the damage once we were able to compose ourselves enough to get out of the car to check. The body panels on that side took some damage, but nothing compared to the other vehicle and thanks to the Subaru and a great car seat the baby slept through the entire ordeal. The Forester is no longer with us, but whenever it's been time to replace a vehicle for our now family of 4 we have done so with a Subaru when available. Today we have a '16 Outback for my wife, a '15 Impreza Sport and are waiting on the Ascent which will replace a '12 Honda Pilot as Tribeca didn't check any of our boxes for a family hauler with cargo space, and towing capacity at the time other than being a Subaru.
Ya and it's ridiculous LR makes you pay for any extras..like you want xm radio that $700, you want wifi that's another 400.
Actually I wasn't impressed with the LR dealer at all. My Subaru dealer has donuts every morning!
