I have owned 3 Subarus with manual gearboxes and understand the attraction. My last two Subarus came with the CVT transmission, which I have no issues with. They always seem to match the gear ratio to the load, and the fuel economy beats the MT every time. My 2015 Outback shows a lifetime average of 33 MPG
I have owned 6 Subarus with 2.5 boxer engines. i never experienced any oil burning.
I am looking forward to driving one with direct injection
