Hm. The Black's stole our Crosstrek when I wasn't looking.
I've whined about this before, but I'm doin' it again. The CVT has become a regular annoyance for me, (me only, my wife is oblivious to it)
The CVT does it's job of maximizing efficiency, but its behavior with AC on is aggravating. With it on, the CVT is even more eager to drop revs -- resulting in you pushing the go pedal harder which = the loud groan MWUUUHHHHH... and it wanting to lower the RPM ASAP. Frustrating to the point I want to stick a For Sale sign on it.
There really isn't much point matting the gas either -- it to me feels more responsive at part to mid throttle. It does deliver the goods with f/e though. The 2.0L is adequate, but this thing would be soooo much better with their 2.5 under the hood.
Now, where's my f'ing sports car.
Oh - and $399 for that tent seems a helluva good deal, no?
