    Subaru's CVT is the best

    Subaru Subaru Advice Subaru Outback Subaru Outback Advice Subaru Outback 2014 Volkswagen Volkswagen Advice

    You have been bagging CVT transmissions and say you could go on and on bagging them. I have had similar concerns when renting CVT cars and my brother-in-law says his is a little noisy at high revs. But I own a Subaru Outback diesel and have nothing but praise, in fact I don't even notice the CVT and it is amazing. I could go on and on, and would recommend you drive one for a week and, if possible, hook up a caravan like I do.

    You're right that the Subaru has the best CVT but it's still not remotely as good as a DSG in a VW Group product. As for more time with CVTs, I've driven them all for more than a week and they are as appealing as brussels sprouts.
