Dont buy a Subaru and especially not a CVT, your on your own if something goes wrong...
I bought a 2015 WRX CVT and about 2 weeks ownership I started smelling something like burnt fluid, mentioned it to the dealer and I was told its normal... because it can be some fluid leaking from a breather or something. August we went to an advanced driving day doing some sliding on a painted wet surface, a week after that I started feeling a shudder on gear changes and took it in to the dealer. They told me after a week that there was a ton of error codes that they cleared and it seems fine. Went to fetch it and felt the problem again coming into my hometown, I phoned them and they said they cant do more for me and this must be taken to a better equipped facility. I was also told my extended warranty wont cover me for that and if they maybe do, it will be only partially, the car has 26 000 km on by the way. The problem is I have phoned every number I can find on the internet and there is either no answer or they cant help or or or.... I have left requests on the Subaru websites but I get nothing. Now I sit with this problem on a very low km vehicle that I now dont wanna drive because it might make it worse. I have done some research and found that many of the CVT transmissions have this problem and I feel Subaru must take responsibility for this and help the consumer. I have no confidence in Subaru itself or the vehicle I own.
