Eventually, downshifting with
Eventually, downshifting with that paddles end up to ruin the transmission of the vehicle at 120k. Crosstrek 2014. Subaru actually on their startup manual for the 2014 advise people to use the paddles to downshift to help the brakes and eventually stop more efficiently. I also downshift to accelerate. So what that did for 120K miles? The car vibrates like we are having an earthquake inside, literally the CVT transmission is gone. The CVT transmission is not designed for this kind of driving, once in a while you can downshift, but only once in a while! Drive your CVT and waste and pay for the brakes and forget the paddles on your steering wheel!
