First time poster here,so will do the intro as well.
new to ascentforums and do have refundable deposit knowing that I would most likely buy my second car prior to ascent hitting dealership but wanted to stand in line for getting one if thing changes however over past weekend.Things did change and we-myself and spouse-went ahead and got my second car.Its Impreza.First being Forester.
A week prior , We drop by local dealer for test drive impreza and was surprised to see an ascent-pre production.We spend like 45 minutes playing around and no test drive allowed. All in all,everything was as I had read here.Car was a bucket seat,things I noticed
Trunk space with 3rd seat up is very small
Prefer a grab handle on door side to get to third row
Nothing fancy in cabins if you are used to Subaru.
Rear lift gate is faster.
Hated the trunk cargo cover,Its takes up some space and not easy to take it/put out either.
2rd and 3rd row is not flat completely
So we move on to test drive impreza get quotes and head home.On way discuss and drop the idea to buy ascent not because of what we saw/experience,but we were okay to wait for an year or Also I hate black trim with ivory dash combo.Prefer all black.
So over week ,we sign papers on impreza at another dealership and have a side talk with F&I guy on ascent,he says he plan to order but some time with September build date ,Subaru is planning to put in rear entertainment package based on latest strong feedback from salesperson all over the country. Well I wanted to put this out.My guy could be wrong but I am not wrong,least that's what I have heard.
I cant wait ascent to hit road and real world reviews start flowing in.We really wanted 3 rd row/8 person car with all safety/drive assist but couldn't justify 32K selling price and using it only few months of year at full capacity.So we decided to wait until demand slows down and price drop after initial excitement
