Title: VOLKSWAGON ATLAS, or SUBARU ASCENT.
Post by: Boss .300 winmag on October 07, 2019, 05:52:25 AM: Any of my fellow Huntwa folks drinking these, and what’s your thoughts on them now?

Wife wants the Ascent, which means youngest gets the latest Outback. Money is the only barrier right now. My sister called yesterday to offer her 2010 4Runner to me. I might have to do that.

Plus the Ascent gets better mileage, and already has roof racks, and cross racks.👍

Not sure if you are a costco member, but we got the dealer to match the Costco discount and got it down to 36.4k with the options that we want. It won't be here until next month but during the test drive and such it was a winner. Plenty of power, can tow my boat and enough room for our 3 kids and dog.
