Hi everyone. I've been a long time lurker but I really appreciate this community so I figured I should introduce myself. I live outside of Rochester, NY. I've got an 05 Forester that was my first purchased-new car, but my family is more than ready for a larger car. Now that the Ascent has arrived I'm finally ready to part with my Forester although not necessarily in a big hurry. Be warned that I am a physicist of a sort, which means that I think I should know everything about everything.
There is still a small chance that I might jump ship and go for a Toyota Sienna (if I find that the third of the Ascent is just too small), but mostly it's just going to be a matter of what Ascent options and trim level to buy, and how long to wait to buy one. Everything seems to be on the table right now, except that the Base trim is out, and so is the base audio system. I've got an appointment for a test drive later this week, but I'm going to have to drive all the way to Auburn to do it.
