2024 Subaru Ascent Onyx Limited Review and Off-Road Test

Very informative and helpful videos with this guy. Good job 👍. I agree in underneath plate protection, more aggressive tires and clearance but, other than that Subaru ❤ 👏

I am curious about what you had for fuel efficiency because i have terrible fuel consumptions…

22’ Crosstrek 6 speed manual here. Your videos have inspired me to go out and drive my own Subaru offroad. What I want to know is how Subaru tunes the brake vectoring in the Crosstreks that don’t have the CVT or X-Mode. My car has a button that makes the traction control slightly more lenient with wheel spin. Kind of like an X-Mode type 2. I’ve done some articulation testing with my car, and it does seem to shift power around like it’s in X-Mode, but there is no mode selector involved.

Seems to me like theirs alot to like about a good Jack of all Trades. I doubt many people buy a Subaru for Rock crawling. What you took it on is probably all the harder most folks will try with it. Seems to me that a Subaru is for when you need a good family hauler that you can camp out of on the weekend. Get a rooftop tent or something and you might be able to take the kids camping with you. Or a young couple might leave the kids with the Grandparents overnight while they go camping. Even more important it should get you home safe if you get got in a snow storm after work. And as much as some like to bash grocery getters, I like to eat. So I like the idea of being able to get grub if the streets don't get cleared the best or quickest.

Highly Impressed with the interior quality of this vehicle… No rattles or creeks when he was driving on that rally road. My 2022 Pilot started rattling in the interior and was put together by packing tape. The rattles began within two weeks of purchase (brand new) went to the dealer about 10 times and they tried their best but couldn't fix the rattles. The gearbox in the Honda sucks as well… the 9-speed is so trashy. It takes it at least 2-3 seconds to shift from park to drive when you cold start the car in the morning and try to head to work. It jerks a lot as well when hunting for gears and you need to rev it up to the moon to get passing power. The transmission also makes clunking noises while shifting from park to drive. Honda is a highly overrated brand. They used to make decent performance cars in the 90s and 2000s…. but these days the interior quality of these Hondas is so far behind the competition. I cannot wait for my lease to end…. will probably head to a Subaru dealership.

You can give The Passport a pass.

Ascent – definition of meh. Subaru needs to differentiate it more from Outback. "slightly bigger" doesn't cut it.

I think for capability vs price, it is hard to beat the Ascent in its category! We love our 23 Touring!

Great vid, as always!!! I've got over 10,000 miles off roading my Ascent all over the country, and also never had my AWD fail or shut down. Heck, I've off roaded my Ascent in all four of this country's major deserts, and we spent hours off roading the Arches NP 4×4 Trail and had no problems.

You need a trans and you need a trans and so do you…

It is interesting one of the points that you made in this video. The point of people commenting about how Subarus fail in offroad situations. I have grown up in the offroad world, starting out with my 78' Blazer that my dad and I built together. I cannot tell you how many people I came across with amazing offroaders completely stuck or broken down in only semi-difficult situations. Is does not matter how great a vehicle is at doing something, you absolutely have to know what you are doing to be successful. You can get anything stuck or cause anything to fail if you are unaware of the proper driving habits or limitations of your vehicle. I have owned Subarus since the 1990's and driven them in pretty much every situation short of straight rock crawling and I have yet to encounter a failure or breakdown of any sort. I have definitely made mistakes as a driver and gotten into bad situations that I needed help getting out of. I learned from those and adjusted my driving behaviors to avoid those mistakes again. But the vehicles themselves have never failed me. Subarus have really impressive systems in them and they are comfortable on the highway and offroad as well extremely safe. Take care of your Subaru vehicle and it will definitely take care of you.

I was remembered when I was going to the mountains on a simply bike.

I don´t know buddie, I´m feel so frustrated, disappointed, angry, failed, really I´m feel like an asshole, due to I have no money, I have no job, I have no hopes, I live in a place where nobody helps, anyway I´m feel like there is no way, it´s really sad to say this, also I know nobody help me, this is so frustrating that I could sitting on a chair to cry.

Surprise surprise another Subaru in this channel.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So the next video will be a non Subaru and the following will be another Subaru.
