Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Subaru Ascent can also be a good family option. AWD standard is a real plus in Canada, decent feature set, and it does not attract much attention. I would just stick to later model years.
  • Subaru Ascent is pretty good for what it’s worth, sure it’s a CVT which isn’t ideal but reliability of those are fine.
  • take a look at Subaru Ascent
  • I had to get new car quickly and on a budget so I got a used Subaru Ascent. So far so good!
  • The Subaru Ascent is 76” wide and 197” long, and this has a pretty usable third row.

Cons

  • i dont like the subaru accent personally but some may, i feel its cheap and not as good as others,
  • Ascent has more usable 3rd row space. ... I've had Subarus and loved them, but haven't seen great stuff on recent ascent models so wasn't sure.
  • I'm literally shopping to replace my '20 Ascent I've had for 21 months with no issues beyond the usual Subaru battery replacement and a wonky liftgate (19/20MY only issue) because of the boring factor. It's just too boring for me to enjo...
  • The Subaru seems a bit more spacious and better option for the winter times, but less gas milage, and the CVT is always a potential concern, but the 2023 model seems pretty solid compared to the 2020 ones.
  • Want to replace a transmission by 30k mi? Get an Ascent. ... That’s true, those cars suck

I'm literally shopping to replace my '20 Ascent I've had for 21 months with no issues beyond the usual Subaru battery replacement and a wonky liftgate (19/20MY only issue) because of the boring factor. It's just too boring for me to enjoy it, but damned if it hasn't been a practical hauler
