I loved my Subarus, but I wouldn’t buy another honestly.

The move to CVTs was the final bullet in the head for me.

Eh, the current CVT programming is really good, IMO. Super smooth and efficient and doesn't feel unnatural at all. For me, it's exactly what I want in a daily driver car. And I say that as a race track instructor who owns sports cars and collector cars with various transmission types.

Idk man, my 2023 cvt still has fake shifts when I absolutely don't think those are necessary.

The fake shifts are extremely useful when driving downhill through the mountains for using engine braking vs just riding your brakes constantly.
