Hi, after a short dalliance with a Ford Kuga I'm thinking of returning to Subaru.I see manual versions aren't available now in the Forester or Outback.I'm concerned that the CVT is likely to be a problem .I will mainly be using it for commuting on so.evert dodgy country roads and towing a horse trailer , 1.7T total weight, a few times a month.I've read about the CVT making the car sluggish and more worryingly failing completely.Any comments ?Thanks
Hi ,New to this forum.My much beloved 2007 Forester died in March,head gasket blown. Got a temporary repair but was advised it's not going to last ,so SORNed it and got a Kuga just as lockdown kicked in -need a car as live in the sticks .After over 15 years of Subarus,this is going to be a temporary aberration.
You'll love it.I said goodbye to my second Forester XTen, 2.5l turbo petrol,in March after 12 and a half years of fun and 167,000 miles .Now have a Kuga ,purchased in lockdown,could cry as we wallow round every bend.Have a load cover and mats to spare .
