Please don't switch lanes as you turn your turning signal on. Turn on your turning signal will before you switch lanes. Good driving habits for a safer ride.
Having owned an Outback for a few years and having sat in an Ascent, I would say the Ascent seems a more comfortable car. Reviews I've seen often mention how comfortable riding it is, and the seats are quite nice. As a larger, more expensive car than the Outback you'd expect it to offer superior comfort.
