[quote=Ribbles][quote=bearishgurl]Can any Pigg here comment authoritatively on Subaru’s CVT (reliability, being “overtaxed” on hilly mountain roads daily, etc).[/quote]
The CVT is an abomination. Really awful to drive even for a CVT (from personal experience). I can’t comment on their reliability, but I believe they’re sealed, which means big bucks for repairs.

Lol… I remember when Audi first introduced these on the Front Trac car, and I was like WTF when I got one as a rental… Audi since then ditched CVT awhile ago.
Then nissan decided to put them into a lot of their vehicles…Ask former nissan CVT owner how they felt about it and how much it costs. Then again, nissan upped the warranty on theirs to 10 years/120k miles
Hint it’s somewhere between a normal automatic and a dual clutch transmission
