Chris,
no I took the outback wheels off. it was even slower with those.
Inna,
Actually that's the thing: you CAN feel a "shift" every single time, and it annoys me, because I know it's not a real shift, but a simulated shift. I would probably be much less annoyed with it if it wasn't pretending to be something it's not, or at least did the simulated shifts more realistically. This car has less than 10k miles on it, I don't think it's a defect, pretty sure this is what they designed it to do.
Maybe the crosstrek/impreza cvt is different and doesn't do that nonsense?

The only time it shifts somewhat decently is at WOT using the paddles. Then it doesn't cut power and you get a normal shift.
