eckseleven Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 XT paired with a CVT seems pretty nice. I'd really consider something like this next if the Legacy GT wagon with CVT never happens here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelacy Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 The front looks good,but those mirrors look horrible and throw the whole design off. Why is the new Forester going to have the same exact interior as the 12 Impreza? they should have made it different at least. I mean it's not a bad thing but atleast differentiate it you know? The XT will get a CVT only wtf...? and no more hood scoop? how is air going to be fed into the top mount intercooler? wouldn't it get heat soaked due to no scoop? Both the 2012 Nissan Juke and 2012 Kia Sportage SX are turbocharged but have no hoodscoop. The Juke's turbo engine is paired with a CVT (or manual depending on drivetrain choice).

MN3.6R Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I hope they do not get rid of turbo models, but I must say I enjoy my 3.6R, other than tuning options its 1/4 times are with 2 seconds of the LGT. Not that I do it often, but this past weekend on drive pavement with new tires and ESP off I got the back in to break loose on a left turn with not much effort.

That's just the mold release compound on the tires making them slick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnout8488 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 True the CVT is better than the 4spd auto,but it's still a crappy gearbox regardless of what you think. Wat. The 4spd auto is a great transmission, for the basic tasks it was intended. Okay, so the CVT is better? I'd love to test drive one then and give it a fighting chance.

I've driven all of Subaru's current CVTs in the Impreza, Legacy, & Outback, and liked what I experienced, so I'm sure this new CVT is pretty awesome.
