    SEVEN SEATS, ZERO ACCIDENTS, AND EVERY SERVICE DONE AT A SUBARU DEALER

    You press the button on the power liftgate with both arms full, slide the groceries past the cargo tray, and drop into a perforated leather driver's seat that already remembers where you like it. The panoramic glass overhead runs nearly the length of the roof. The heated steering wheel and heated front seats come on before you reach the end of the driveway, and on the school run the kids in row two get heated seats of their own. Then you point the nose at the Blue Mountains and let Subaru's all wheel drive do what it was built to do.

    This is a 2021 Subaru Ascent Limited in Crystal White Pearl over black perforated leather, showing 44,060 miles, with the 2.4 liter four cylinder and Lineartronic CVT sending power to all four wheels. Seven passengers fit, and the third row bench reclines rather than simply folding flat, which is the difference between a back seat adults tolerate and one they will actually choose.

    CARFAX tells a clean story. No accidents. No damage reported. No structural damage, no airbag deployment, no total loss claim, no odometer rollback. Two previous owners, both personal, both flagged as low mileage drivers, and a guaranteed clean title through both. Eleven service records, and here is the part worth pausing on: every one of them was performed at a Subaru dealership. The first owner used Wilsonville Subaru in Oregon for oil, tires, filters, alignment and brake checks, and that care was good enough that the vehicle was resold as a Subaru Certified Pre Owned unit at 8,624 miles. The second owner carried the habit forward at McCurley Subaru in Pasco and Rogers Subaru in Hermiston, including front wheel bearing and hub replacement at 18,384 miles and the full 30,000 mile service with a brake fluid flush and tire rotation at 32,398 miles. Registration stayed current in Richland throughout.

    Honest disclosure, because you deserve the whole picture. Subaru of America has an open safety recall on this vehicle, number WRH26, NHTSA campaign 26V436000. It covers a certification label non compliance, meaning the information sticker in the door jamb, not a mechanical defect. Subaru has not released the remedy. Once parts are available any Subaru dealer performs the correction at no charge, and we will hand you the recall paperwork along with the keys.

    The Limited trim here carries the Popular Package 2A and the Technology Package, so you get the STARLINK 8.0 inch multimedia system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM capability, steering wheel audio controls, dual zone automatic climate control up front with separate rear air conditioning, memory for the power driver's seat, a power passenger seat, HomeLink, auto dimming inside and outside mirrors, LED map and reading lights, all weather floor liners, a cargo tray and a third row seatback protector. Outside it wears 20 inch dark gray machined alloy wheels, aero crossbars, splash guards, a spoiler, fog lights, fully automatic headlights with auto high beam, heated power mirrors with turn signal indicators, and a rear wiper.

    Come drive it. Bring the whole family and fill every seat.

    A negotiable documentary service fee of $200.00 may apply to each purchase.

    Peace of mind

      Great SUV and value!!!

      by Flux Gambino on 7/3/2026 10:11:38 AM

      We have a 2022 Limited. It has been a great car with great options. It rides smoothly. It’s great in snow and ice. It has a lot of options for the price, and Subaru is always at the top of the list for safety.

      Great up to a point

      by Adam C on 3/24/2026 1:28:49 PM

      We have a 2020 Ascent Limited. We like its features. Ride is a bit bumpy (my wife's term) and there can be more than a little road noise - but less than in the Outback we used to own. Engine is strong. Don't believe those who say the accelerator is "touchy". Mileage is good at 23 - 24. The only major issue was with the CVT at 125,000 miles. Dealer wanted $5000 to replace the torque converters. I contacted Subaru and they covered the full repair out of warranty. Bullet dodged. My advice is to trade it under 100,000 miles.

      The Great Ascent

      by Dorrellkc on 1/30/2026 3:00:46 AM

      If your looking for a big Forester then the Ascent is it. Gas mileage is more smiles per gallon vs anything reasonable. The third row comes in handy when needed, but don't expect to put full size adults in the third row for more than a couple of hours. The third row should be reserved for the kids. The radio is ok but it does lag from the initial startup of the car to pressing buttons which is a bit annoying and I wish that I could update the software to the new software that is in the 26 Outback. Even with all of that said, the Ascent fits our needs and we are happy with the AWD system and the overall handling. The Ascent is a joy to drive and has been very capable when needed. Keep up with the maintenance schedule and drive it like a normal human and the vehicle will treat you well.
