Previous Subaru Ascent Touring owner here! Talk about two very different vehicles built for two very different purposes. We lemon lawed ours after four full brake rotor/pad replacements and two thrown bearings in the 18 months and 18k miles we owned it. I've talked to numerous prior owner with the shared opinion that the Ascent is Subaru's miss. If I wrote your post on that vehicle it would be ten times as long.
I do appreciate your candid assessment in the other areas though. I purchased the car knowing these things, but I get it for sure.
