As a Subaru Outback owner I am somewhat amused by this.

I always found the Beta version of Big Dog to be much more disturbing.

Agreed. (2013 2.5L) I would take this CVT over most automatics. Yes, it can be sluggish, but it can also move away from traffic at the lights at times.

I have ADHD. Despite what others told me I decided to go to a college, then to a tech school, then later to university. In the end I was very successful in all my studies. The main thing I discovered was that I needed to work harder than "normal" people. C'est la vie.
