After hitting a deer and totaling my 2013 Subaru Forrester Premium a couple months ago I wanted to stay with a manual transmission, which was the reason I bought the 2013 model (new) in the first place. I was disappointed to learn that Subaru discontinued installing manual transmissions in the 2019 Forrester and heard mixed comments about the CVT. Thankfully I lucked out and found a 2018 Forrester Premium with only 8k miles on it for sale. I absolutely love the car and my only small peeve is that the 6 speed transmission feels and sounds more 'clanky' than the 5 speed transmission in my 2013 Forrester.
