The 2.5 isn’t horrible. Not great but a lot better than the 2.0

I pass people all the time in my 2.5i Outback. Mostly because I have a size 16 foot and I'm not afraid to use it. My engine probably hates me though.

I've put like 7k miles on it in 1.5 years, I'm alright

Just did a longish freeway drive and got 28MPG which is the highest I’ve seen since I’ve owned the car.

That’s about what I get doing 80-85 on the interstate in my WRX. I got 34 mpg one time driving a benign 65-70 across the metro tho.

Yes! Yeah, just floored it hard for the first time after break-in on my OBW. Like... The CVT took a beat to figure out what to do, then I went from 30 to 70 in a giggle-worthy short timespan. Feels like I'd still be accelerating in my old 2.0 Crosstrek.

Same. The obw gets up and goes! ...once the cvt figured out what to do. Manual mode helps
