Any Consensus On The Subaru CVT?


Recommended Posts

I buy Subarus because I want a reliable car that will last for hundreds of thousands of miles. Any consensus on CTV reliability

and useful life? Will the CVT go at least 200,000 miles without any expensive repairs or replacement?

The Dude,

 

Before I traded my last OBW LTD (07) I asked the service manager at the dealership about how the new CVT's were standing up. His response at the time was that they had yet to have to do any repairs or replacements on a single one. That was late 2013.

 

I bought my present 2012 OBW LTD in January of 2013, presently have 45 000 miles on it, and the tranny has never skipped a beat.

 

I particularly like that even in auto mode I can still downshift with the paddles to slow the vehicle, without having to slide the gear shift into manual mode.
