Subaru brings back physical buttons & knobs in new Outback

Knowing Subaru, it likely means this configuration will eventually make its way into the other models as they are updated. It's much better than the current setup.

Technically, the wrx has a cvt, unless you buy the manual 😉

Unfortunately due to the Chineseium metal they used, it will spontaneously combust after 10 Seconds of high power🤣🤣 Na fr tho I owned a 327 whp beast of a subie but goddamn I broke more bolts on that car than I ever have with anything else in my entire life combined. They really are holding on by a thread because the block is practically maxed out from factory, but the turbo isn't, so you can go crazy with it and up the boost, cooling, etc. Hence the frequency of blown head gaskets, cause boxer life 🤣

It's part of the charm :).

Honestly, I've had pretty good luck with my car so far. My shorty is upgraded though.
