I'll be getting my first ever Subaru this week. 2014 Impreza 2.0i Premium hatchback with a sunroof. I got it for the all-wheel drive after this miserable winter!

I've been a long term Ford owner, then Honda owner. I'm an empty nester with kids living 1 and 4 hours away. I love road trips to visit them. I'm a high school teacher so in the summer, I'm travelling!

After owning a 03 Honda Civic hybrid with the CVT transmission and having nothing but trouble with it, I almost walked out of the Subaru dealership when he said that. Reassurance would be nice... Anyone?

I'm looking forward to learning more about the Subaru life here. Thanks!

 

Welcome to the club

 

I did a lot of research when my wife and I were purchasing a 2014 Forester for her and didn't find much of any negative feedback on the Subaru CVT. I drive a turbo subie w/ a manual so it's an entirely different experience from my wife's Forester but so far we're 6k into driving w/ it and its worked well. I don't find the notorious CVT 'hum' to be an issue and it wasn't hard to get used to how the CVT accelerates vs. a conventional automatic.
