Mine has not failed yet,just doing research and not getting that fuzzy feeling that I have a low cost car that will go the distance. It seems to me the risk ($7000+) may not be worth the reward. Love the car but a hand built Rolls Royce trans may be less expensive.Thought about picking up a low mile (<20K) trans from a junk yard and shelving it as a back up.Anyone else getting nervous or am I over reacting. I have seen some high mile examples so its hard to tell what makes them fail.If the CVTs start to fail then Subaru will be in trouble for sure because they went "all in".

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.
