Well I traded my 2012 at 85k to avoid this issue. Leaving the subaru community again. Good luck to you guys. Hope its not as bad as it looks.

Honestly this situation doesn't look that bad to me considering we are observing a very small sample size and the far majority are having no problems whatsoever. I think the chances of something going wrong with the CVT are probably less than something major going wrong in almost any other car/make/model but that's just my opinion. I'm pretty easy on my cars so I don't think I will have any problems but if I do then I will probably just replace the CVT and let it go another 100k or so.

Even the Outback forum has a very small percentage of owners that have issues with their CVTs so that is promising.

I wish you luck with you next vehicle Wharf Rat and hope you are pleased with it. Maybe report back on what you get and give us a little review/comparison. Thanks.

For my 2010 CVT (56K) I guess I am looking at a $2000 torque converter and/or $7000 entire trans change at around 100k miles. Really, the longest lasting midsize car? So get aftermarket insurance or dump at 80k or so. I also have a 2014 Forester that my wife loves.

What kind of driving do you do? Mostly highway, mostly city, what percentage mix? Just trying to get an idea how city/highway driving affects these CVTs.
