Hello from Skokie, IL.
Test drove the Limited trim on Wednesday, May 9th, and ordered ours the same day. 2019 Subaru Ascent Limited with option package 23 (KCD#23) in Crystal White Pearl with Warm Ivory interior. Hoping it arrives before September.
We had also considered and test drove the 2018 Honda Pilot and the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas. Both of those 6 cylinders drove well and we were suprised by the performance of Subaru’s new FA24 4 cylinder engine. For most of our driving I am sure we will never notice any appreciable performance difference but will appreciate the slightly better fuel economy.
A key selling point for us is the sophistication of Subaru’s Eyesight Driver Assist Technology. The Atlas and Pilot also offer driver aid technologies in their higher trim levels but Subaru offers some features in all models. Subaru’s Eyesight also looks more mature and robust than the competition’s.
Looking forward to out Ascent’s arrival. We have not owned a Subaru since our 1980 DL 5-Door Wagon. A lot has changed since then.
