SCHM1AN Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 If only it had a 6-speed, then I'd be all over that thing like white on rice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehsnils Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 Congrats! What kind of milage? Tq? It's completely new for today, so I don't have any real figures on fuel consumption yet. For power/torque 150hp/350Nm (258 lbft), max torque between 1600 and 2400 rpm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOHCstunr Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Wow turbo diesel and a CVT. It must hold you in your seat the whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Good choice on the CVT. Any plans to drive down my way?

ehsnils Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Wow turbo diesel and a CVT. It must hold you in your seat the whole time. Good choice on the CVT. Any plans to drive down my way? No plans going south for the moment unless my job expects me to, but that's not predicted right now. The diesel really works well with the CVT. One disadvantage with the diesel with MT is that if you get too low on rpms (about anything below 1400) you have very little torque and it takes a lifetime to get up to speed unless you downshift. Engine rpm with the CVT is around 1700 to 2200 rpm when driving on the highway at about 110km/h (70 mph). Takes a little to get used to the paddles, and at least the downshift paddle is useful since it provides engine braking and that can be nice on roads with varying speed limits. At more inspired driving there's some hesitation when you come back on the throttle after a short slowing down when getting into a curve. I would like to see the SI-drive on the diesel too, that could probably solve that "problem". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradze Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Yeah I read that the subaru diesel isn't as clean as the ones already available in the us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradze Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 i would really love to get 45mpg and a greatly improved towing capacity. it seems like the acceleration numbers for the diesel are the same as the 2.5i. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
