CVT transmission........you either love it or hate it. I love it. Took me along time to find a car that suits 95% of my needs. Now if Subaru could make an Outback WRX that would make it 100% in my opinion.
Agreed, the CVT tranny is either love or hate. Count me in as hating it. If I wanted a snowmobile tranny, I'd buy a snowmobile. I also get a kick out of all the people who have bought these abominations. Defending them like mothers. Seems like they need to defend their purchase decision. Manufactures are defending them as MPG producers. All the while they produce a minimal MPG gain. If they would have put their R&D money that they spent on CVT into a real transmission, they could have had the same result.
