Unsafe Safety Feature (and other safety) in 2024 Subaru Ascent Premium Trim

[@midwestpanther98]

You'd think Subaru would've figured out how to incorporate a dash camera system into the eye sight system

Haha the раб joke :) The only modern "safety" feature that I'm missing in my cars in adaptive cruise control. Like you said, you can live without BSM, and I wouldn't trust auto steering for sure. Your parking sensors seem to be very sensitive, that car was pretty far away based on the rear camera image (barely entered the green zone).

I love that smart cruise! The back up sensors are tied into that RAB system and the backup assist feature so probably tuned to be extra sensitive.

i favor a comparatively spartan town car over an opulent rolls.

Well said!

Do you miss your town car? Make a video on it lol curious to know. Honestly you got a great updated car better on gas. Think the town car is good as just a weekend car not a primary car

I miss the idea of owning a Town Car and the feeling behind the wheel but I don't miss all the repairs 😀

It seems to me that you are overwhelmed with all of the different options and features. I urge you to turn your Ascent in on another Subaru (or other brand) that has just the options and features you would prefer. Driving is serious, but this car is giving you headache. I have a 2022 Subaru Ascent Limited which has its quirks. We are going to purchase a 2025 Subaru Forester Wilderness. We chose the Wilderness because it has the turbo charged engine. The standard Forester has a four-cylinder non-turbo engine which is gutless. Good luck.

I'm happy with the car overall, so it's not like I get anxiety when I drive it. Just learning how all this crap works and what to trust and what not to trust. Steering assist definitely is in the DON'T TRUST category. Other stuff is nice to have but not neccesary.

How are you supposed to mess with the display safely while driving? Even more unsafe is digging through menus while driving to get at X-Mode during bad weather.

Most of the screen features get deactivated while driving so you are left with just the very basics to pick from.
