your choice! but having
your choice! but having learned to use CVT properly on my 2019 3.6 Outback I have totally dispelled any misgivings and doubts I had up until purchase. My wife is totally content to leave the car in Drive but will put it S or S# mode on a trip. I will do that too but I also use the paddles when I want best control and response on hilly or tight, curvy terrain. Best of both worlds really and with some of the driver input a manual transmission gives. The acceleration response using the whole process available is a treat.
