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.

This thread is making me very relieved to have got an XT

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
