Used 2019 Subaru Ascent SUV Consumer Reviews
Subaru Ascent Touring
I like my Subaru Ascent It’s a good SUV with plenty of power and safety features Also a ride quality is pretty good Comfortable and a roomy inside. Turbo engine has a good torque and acceleration. MPG needs to be checked out and tested as my car has only 500 miles but hopefully it’ll show good results. It’s showing 19.5 ave. currently

Great car, but don't get into an accident
Overall we loved this SUV. Subaru is critically guilty however by not making sure they have stock of spare parts for repair. My wife got into a small accident and we have been waiting for 2 months for the collission shop to get parts. Seems everything is on back log. Buying a brand new model may not have been a smart thing to do or Subaru didn't plan well for providing spare parts.

waiting to go mileage to go up
I have owned the ascent touring since July 6th we have 2600 miles now and we are still only getting 16.8 to 18 miles per gallon ,the dealers say it will go up but no luck there I read because the touring version is heavier it may be a mile or two less . I had a 2016 Crosstrek before much smaller but great on handling great gas . I have had this vehicle over a year now ,many problems with the gas mileage and the computer output ,spoke to the service department about inaccurate mileage and computer readings ,not so interested, but this is Daytona beach. also the seats are the most uncomfortable I have had for a $46000.00 vehicle very disappointing.

Subaru Ascent Does Not Disappoint!
We are almost a month in from taking ownership of our Ascent Touring model and couldn’t be happier. Great drive - comfort, handling and zip. Not to mention a great look with tons of room and road visibility. So happy we ‘held out’ and didn’t pursue the Toyota Highlander. And still finding cool and helpful features. Eyesight technology is AMAZING!! Just a few things for Subaru to consider for next gen improvements... —Second row fans are loud when they are on. —CarPlay quirkiness. When you plug it in it takes over navigation without asking preference to stay on something else like Waze. Same thing for music - if you’re listening to Sirius it will get bumped for what’s on your phone. —More direction would be great with front passenger seat (up/down for example if you like to sit lower). Overall not game changers! Thrilled to join the Subaru family.
Heartbroken
I purchased my 2019 Ascent in March. Took it in for my first oil change and mentioned the squeaking brakes. I was told this was a problem with the Ascents. It took two months for the special grease and it wasn’t the Subaru’s grease but they were giving it a try because they had so many waiting on a fix. I told them about the stuttering transmission and after two days in the shop, they said nothing was wrong. Three days later every light on the dashboard was lit up - check engine, oil temp, eye sight, brakes - I was told it was probably a circuit to drive it to the dealership. Once there - diagnostic said it was the transmission. I was also told that I probably shouldn’t have driven it in. The part for the transmission was once again, on back order. Car was in the shop almost two weeks. During this time, they noticed my air conditioner was right and found a leak - another problem that they were seeing in the Ascents. But, part was on backorder. When I finally got my car back, air conditioner is worse than it was before. This was the prettiest car and it was love at first sight. Now, I’m totally heartbroken over such a disappointment. Never imagined this experience. Subaru was consulted and after 10 days of receiving the notification from the dealership over these problem, they made contact - more smoke being blown trying to convenience me that this is still a good vehicle. I’m sick that I didn’t go back to either the Honda Pilot or Toyota Highlander as I drove both of these over 150,000 miles and never had any problem. Looks definitely deceived me. Don’t make the same mistake.
