Used 2023 Subaru Ascent SUV Consumer Reviews
So far so good for 5500 Miles
Test drove and compared with other brands in its class and I think this is the best deal you can get for a great three row SUV. It's smooth, nimble in merging into lanes and great handling at tight corners. The 3rd row is useful in my opinion, it fits two adults (5'-3") with no issue (would not recommend using 3rd row for long travel due to lack of leg support, but most of the 3 row SUVs have this same issue). The extra leg support at the driver seat is very helpful. The multi-zone climate control is a plus if you have kids and especially people sitting at the 3rd row. I highly recommend the limited trim as I think this is the best deal for the money. The vehicle I test drove was a touring trim, but the 360 degree camera doesn't work most of the time and even when it's working the footage is blurry espcially at displaying the surrounding conditions. The touring trim also bundles with the navigation system which I don't need because Apply Car Play is standard.

Handles the Hills & Highway
Purchased my Ascent in April and already have 12K on it…love driving the Ascent!! We live in the southern Appalachians and the Ascent handles the steep mountain roads with ease and rides smoothly and comfortably on the highway…very pleased.

Beautiful Vehicle
This is absolutely a beautiful vehicle and so comfortable to drive and be a passenger in. My only complaint is that it does not get the MPG it claims to get which is 19-27mpg. We have only made it to 18mpg. Subaru needs to do better at this and give consumers the right information.

My Subaru SUV
The Ascent has a smooth ride. It has a good turning radius which is much better then most other SUV's. It is roamy inside in the front and 2nd row seats. That is a big deal when all the males in your family are over 6ft tall. The only downside is the trunk space isn't great when the 3rd seat is up. When you are used to a Suburban it is a big difference. When the 3rd row is down it has lots of space.

Great deal. Good value.
I looked at a number of midsize SUVs before settling on the Ascent. At first, I was concerned about the CVT transmission, but after conducting a ton of research, I found that this isn't as much of a concern as I'd originally thought. Plus, I found the competition (e.g., Telluride, Pilot, Jeep GC, Highlander) to be priced at about 4k to 10k more than what I was willing to pay. I personally think the Onyx edition (not the limited version) is the best deal for what you get in comparison to the other trim levels.
