what's with all the stories I hear about Subaru's consuming 1qt. of oil every 3000-5000 miles? Im used to vehicles having exactly the same amount of oil in them at 4000 miles as when I changed the oil previously. I'd like to hear more instances of Subarus NOT consuming any oil between oil changes.
@Slammintone I ahve a 2011 Outback and Forester and neither comsume oil between oil changes....these must be stories of the WRX or turbo engines......
been driving for a year Outback 2,5 CVT. Absolutely happy with it and have no problems at all. CVT transmission is MUCH better then previous 4 gear gearbox. and the ability to operate CVT in manual mode is marvelous to me. As well I'm pretty happy with its gas/mileage thanx to its transmission.
I love Subaru's! I have a 1999 Legacy Outback that still runs like a champ. The only bad thing is it leaks engine oil like crazy and I have to top it off quite a bit. Eventually, I'd like to upgrade to the 2010 Outback.
if ricers would stop dumping the clutches on their subarus at high RPM's then they would have less transmission problems. This guys CVT Outback will never have that problem.
I am not talking about race cars just ordinary ones like 2.5l and 3.0 wuthout turbo charger, trannies have contant kicks, jerks, poor shifting throu the gears this is b/c low quality trannies from jatco
mi fathers have had subaru outback since 2006, thet had the 2006,2008 and now 2010, and with 06-08 we never had any problems with transsmision, anyone, the only times we send it to the garage was for technical revision and when my mother crash twice :/ but never for transsmision
Other than the cosmetic changes and slight changes to tuning throughout the years, it's virtually identical in layout to the engine in my 2001 Outback. And I actually think that's a good thing.

OMG, the intake Manifold is now made of plastic???
The more I see the new Outbacks the more I want to keep my 09, Aluminum intake, shorter leg room and all.
I really wondered about the CVT but I guess I'll have to wait a couple of years to get the lowdown on just how reliable they really are.
