2020 Subaru Ascent Touring - POV Night Drive & Harman Kardon Premium Audio Test

[@donavinsilvera5682]

2:24 the steering responsive headlights are amazing imo😍

[@Kishan2213]

You should start ranking car audio systems

[@henrytrepanier4933]

Definitely!

[@BAdarsh]

I miss Pink Mirrors :(

[@colelockridge5816]

Yeah. He should replace the first song with pink mirrors. Sounds like elevator music

[@pnthim]

@TheTopher - please bring back Pink Mirrors!

[@jasonspellmon9280]

Factz bro

[@blueninja263]

I do miss pink mirrors😭

[@John-vh1fk]

There’s a current recall for the ECU tuning that just came out. From what I hear, it helps the sensitive throttle response. We have an Ascent. The wife loves it. I think it’s a great car for us. My biggest complaint is actually the steering wheel, for whatever reason it’s not exactly centered with the driver seat. Say in others at the dealer and they are the same way.

[@Kiss__Kiss]

The minute this video started, you could hear the "Typical" Subaru metallic sound when you park after a long drive. Very Nostalgic if you ask me..

[@miguelkennedy9520]

At 1:38, the forward facing camera on the top of the screen went away in a second. I like it when it stays on for 35 seconds and then goes away. The Chevy Blazer has that feature. All Subarus and all Cars, Trucks, and SUVs should always have that feature

[@urhiredhr421]

I really enjoy my Ascent. Comfortable, quiet on the highway with my new Continental tires! Good pick up, she moves. All of the safety technology is fantastic.

[@lsu205]

Mpg so far???

[@urhiredhr421]

@@lsu205 I am a LEAD FOOT. So only 15.5 mpg in the city. I can travel 75mp and get 22 on the highway or lower the speed at get 24.

[@macron-hs4jh]

Love your videos man !! Voice is so soothing please do a day and night pov drive if Honda Accord cl9 ❤️❤️

[@jcparker500]

Couldn't believe I clicked on a random link and you're right in my neighborhood! I drive through there on 96 every day (in my '21 Ascent) going to work.

[@jimmywu12345]

Sorry , looks like Wasted ur time, he doesn’t care who you are and where u live, that’s cold. If I saw this message I would say what a coincidence at least!

[@timothybracken1728]

I'm glad im not the only one that feels this way for the forester too. It's a bit much stiffer than the rest of the competition.

[@huddleen]

I love the suspension on my 2019 Forester. It is great on the road. Not much suspension travel off-road but if you drive it like a rally car and go fast it will just flitter over huge bumps.

[@arcars8115]

Subaruuu!!! 💪💪💪

[@timothybracken1728]

YEE NEW TRACKS :) !

[@flippypippy1851]

I wish everyone could drive like you

[@nathangarcia2219]

Love your vids Tropher

[@SaneshPlaysWarRobotsAndMore]

Hey man hope you are happy and healthy. Your videos are so fun to watch and I hope you release a video on the 2020 Honda Accord Touring. I love watching your Honda Accord POV’S!!!

[@paris.v7137]

why Is this entertaining to watch?..!❤️

[@jtlovespi2493]

Hey @TheTopher, you should review the 2020 Chevy Blazer

[@ShonTolliverMusic]

Hey Topher, you should definitely make a "Night Drive Playlist" for us, your most loyal fans............ :)

[@TheTopher]

I could do that!

[@Gooddog1]

Thank you, very good sound quality.

[@henrytrepanier4933]

You should review the Nissan Maxima Platinum Bose sound system. I am very happy with the way it sounds and would love to see what you think!

[@bfee20021]

I have a '16 Maxima and think the Bose is not that great.

[@Saleem_Bhai]

Love these vids so calming, also whats the same of the song at 7:10 ? I love it but dont know the name

[@rallysauruswrex]

Ganja by Ooyy

[@janetchepkonga5458]

acent yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rifraf6135]

Love this

[@BoopSnoot]

Digital mirror seems really cool on video, never tried one in person. Tight!

[@automotivetvchannel]

nice button colour

[@lukeheffernan]

Think the description's wrong... 35 city/34 highway? Don't think so. Looks more like the stats for the Highlander hybrid, maybe? Nice vid as always.

[@TheTopher]

Oops, those were definitely Highlander hybrid stats. Just fixed it, thanks for the heads up!

[@killersushi99]

How is the turning radius? My Forester XT turns on a dime.

[@shinnersplit8816]

3:52 im in love

[@jfsiiiautomotivereviews8343]

Random but how could I get a press vehicle to review? I badly want to start reviewing them!

[@amggaming3528]

Start out by going to local dealers and asking to borrow a car.

[@icarefor2010]

Is this the same harman kardon system used in the outback onyx?

[@urhiredhr421]

I have a question for you. Is the upgraded radio (stereo) worth it?

[@lightweightbaby7959]

Plz do more audio tests

[@rheachi]

Yooo you should use Independent by Uppermost as a song for these sound tests/night drives.

[@pilot1226]

So you’d suggest the Highlander instead? Highlander is a little smaller though in the back, I think? At least Toyota offers a Hybrid...

[@TNAN007]

Highlander Hybrid AWD run for $56k+ before tax and dmv fees, where I live. About $16k more than the Ascent. Not sure if that $16k is worth the gas saving. Highlander 3rd row is for kid under 5"4, if you're taller your head will hit the ceiling.

[@slandshark]

@@TNAN007 Regarding the 3rd row, I just sat in a 2022 Ascent 2 weeks ago for a test drive. I was completely surprised by how much space there was back there. Almost every review says the Ascent 3rd row is for kids.... I'm 5'8", I set the driver seat for me, then the 2nd row I set almost all the way forward and still had a few inches of knee room, then sat in the 3rd row seat behind that and I had like at least 5" of knee room. The space in the 3rd row is WAY undersold, especially in reviews. I've also sat in a late 2000's (I think 2018?) Highlander and the 3rd row is literally for kids...and the 2022 highlander (on paper) has I believe 3 or less inches of 3rd row leg room compared to the Ascent.

[@TNAN007]

@@slandshark Yeah that's why I bought the 2020 Ascent. I traded in my Honda Odyssey (which I love so much more than a Sienna) But I need AWD and 3 row since I moved to snowy region. - Pilot has more head room but shallower knee room, meaning your knee is up to your chest when sitting in 3rd row. - Highlander has always been tiny compare to other competitor and with their hybrid price is now 20k over msrp. I won't even bother with it. - Atlas, Palisade and Telluride. Nice effort but I don't trust VW and Korean cars after witnessing so many of my friends having to take them to mechanic almost every month after 100k. And my mechanic friend strongly advised me against them. BTW if you're getting an Ascent, make sure you do regular maintenance on it and be sure to change your CVT fluid every 60k or less. Subaru is reliable but less forgiving than a Toyota if you neglect it.

[@slandshark]

@@TNAN007 Yeah, we have 3 kids right now and we own a minivan (Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid) and I've been a little apprehensive about going from the van with tons of space to a SUV with less space. But after sitting in the Ascent myself my worries are gone, at least in regards to the passenger space. Cargo room is lacking compared to a minivan, but that's expected. We are trading in our Pacifica for an Ascent later this year, my Wife really wants the Ascent. We can benefit from the AWD as well (and ground clearance), we live in the PNW and usually park the van permanently during snow. We hope to get a 2023 Ascent with 8 seats, just eagerly waiting for Subaru to announce the 2023 models. :)

[@leonelsantamaria9653]

Are you was driving using the foglights?

[@KuyaArbee]

2020 and still no 360 camera on a top trim..... ROFL! what are you thinking SUBARU!

[@RichiE-lk3dn]

Whats the name of the first song?

[@JoJo-oo7zt]

I heard this has a HUD?

[@jakefear9838]

Nice

[@BoopSnoot]

Subaru needs to stop with the mini display on top of the center console. Its pretty useless and always has been. One big display is fine, or even better the Mercedes style of integrating the driver's and center console area into one ultra-wide display is also pretty neat.

[@BoopSnoot]

Also, when you're using a CVT, do you really need that big of a tachometer? I'd make the tach an afterthought IMO, and just give the driver a big digital screen instead to put more useful info.

[@KuyaArbee]

speaking straight facts!

[@simaknaveedakther8755]

Dont talk to the germans like that

[@julz9353]

Can you please drive the new VW atlas 😅👉🏼👈🏼

[@Deetroiter]

What would happen if you really cranked up the volume while you were camping, at a beach, etc? Would it hurt the sound system or was it already torture tested to handle it since it’s factory?

[@jiwonseosuperwhy1170]

1:19

[@DingasPro]

whoao there topher...nice music over there. sounding a bit romantic for the lady I see...

[@lightweightbaby7959]

H&K is great, but the car’s noise is uncanny, way too noisy

[@Edpo26]

I drove an ascent. Thought it was great. Not stiff at all. Honestly just sound like a perpetual complainer. The guy that constantly annoys his wife lol
