That’s incorrect. My family has owned multiple used Subies, bought below 100,000 miles. All have gone into the high 100,000 to 200,000 mile range before resale.
The pre-2014 cars had the 5-speed auto gearbox with the H6, not the CVT.
Why is there any obligation to buy a car made of US parts, BTW?[/quote]
Because that’s what some of the people who complain about american manufacturing job losses should be doing, if they really really cared as much as they say they do. You don’t care, so it doesn’t apply to you.
if you don’t get something with CVT, you should be ok.
