I just purchased a 2019 WRX Limited with CVT and I could give two big shiny shits if anyone doesn't it like it or thinks because it's not a manual, that it is less of a car. In its stock configuration, it performs perfectly for me. In fact, I dare say most people don't really even get to push its power band because of road congestion, lights and speed limits. If you want a car that offers performance and practicality and comfort in traffic, the CVT might be for you.

great video, as always, thank you for that! I own the same car and there is definitely a learning curve to the cvt but it is worth the time and effort to practice driving in different environments including fast fire roads with TC off. The TR690 CVT is rated at 400nm torque which is roughly 300ft lbs of AWD torque which is perfect for rally style driving where you can actually push the vehicle to its potential if you know how to drive. The WRX is all about the chassis and less about the drive train.CVT or manual, a skilled driver will push the limits of the WRX

I think CVTs make sense in luxury cars as well. The whole point of a luxury car is to have as smooth and comfortable of a ride as possible. A CVT offers ultra smooth acceleration. I have an MY 2015 Outback 3.6r with the 3.6 L H-6 engine and that also uses the “high torque” CVT. In the Outback a CVT works well as the car was meant to be a comfortable, safe, utilitarian car. Subaru did give it a little flavor of sport by allowing you to shift with the paddles and if you accelerate hard the car also simulates being a 6 speed. I do mostly around town driving as I live and work in the same town. So for me I use the paddles to downshift on sharp corners (I leave the trans in drive). Using manual mode and having to use the paddle shift for me on the small twisty hilly back roads I drive on doesn’t make sense. If I did highway driving and didn’t mind the slightly reduced MPGs I would probably use manual mode more often. The Outback with the 6 cylinder engine is a great car but then the same can be said of the Forester, WRX, Impreza, BRZ, and Ascent. Each vehicle has it’s place depending on what you want from your vehicle.

It wasn't bad driving but ill give you some pros and cons Pro's Great in traffic Very fast gear changes Anyone can drive it Cons Slow without a tune the car doesn't know what it wants to do Sounds really bad gear changes Not as much fun as manual stage 3 People hate you for no reason lol P.s I had owned a wrx cvt before and I had no tune or anything my transmission went at 60k my engie was destroyed because of that. Also my turbos blew at 55k. The car sucks in snow not as effective live in Pa so we get hit hard and car struggled alot for all wheel drive you can't control gear changes without damaging your trans. If I where you I would be very gentle with them and maybe think about a manual or a different car. As much as I love the wrx it should never come in a auto.

It's always been my understanding that CVTs don't hold RPMs linearly. If I propel my car to 60MPH, the CVT will remain in a ratio that gives the car enough oomph based on my throttle input to get there, and once I start easing up on it to just maintain, the CVT would start swinging to a lower ratio to bring the RPMs down. It wouldn't sit at 4000-6000RPM at highway cruising speeds. This is the basic function of a CVT and why having set gear ratios dumbfounded me outside of the fact it could have been done because for generations people just expect for a car to have shift points and CVTs got a lot of complaints from people because of it. The only reason I can think of for set points is like an Auto in sport mode, it makes the RPMs at the floor closer to the powerband so when you get on it, it'll gun a lot faster than having to rev up to get there. But even then since the ratios are continuously variable I don't see why the CVT would just swing around to constantly keep the car at, say 3500RPM in sport mode. TL;DR: shift points still don't make sense to me when the transmission's core design is all about maintaining an ideal ratio for throttle input.

I'm not in the market for a car, but as the owner of two manual subaru's, a 2.5 RS and WRX, I want my next car to be a CVT subaru. When my clutch went in my 2.5RS my mechanic (who is a good friend and not some con artist) charged me almost $2,000 to fix it. I was young and didn't recognize it was going bad, but the signs were there. Instead I found myself stranded on one of the busiest roads in town in the middle of the lane and someone had to help me push it off the road. I said never again to manual transmission unless I'm some millionaire with a toy car in the garage. And of course I didn't mention the obvious pain of stop and go traffic and starting on steep hills. I realize newer cars can prevent you from rolling back on steep hills but man that was always a pain.

This is why i went from manuals to autos when they got decent. Id rather have a transmission go for 300-400,000km and die than have a manual that lasts longer than the rest of the car but has a random wear item added that is an absolute pain to chage. If you want to shift as fast as an auto that wear item lasts half as long. And whats the point of a transmission lasting so long anyway when half of the rest of the car is rotted away at that point. I keep my cars for a long time but im also not struggling enough that im going to keep a 500,000km shitbox on the road putting me at risk of some rusty part comming off and sending me into a tree.

Do you know if the 2014 wrx has this transmission with both variable and stepped gear changes?

Thanks a lot for the info, very well explained. One question, do all CVTs that have a Triptronic (Manual mode) option behave in similar way that it goes to a predefined step and stay there till high revs and then automatically up shift if it's too much? Or its just with this car's implementation

Thank you so much! I just got a 2020 outback turbo xt and learn so much from your videos. I think it has the same transmission as a wrx. Wonder if I should fill it with premium gas? Hope you can do a video about the outback turbo one day. Thank you

Great video explaining everything. So the CVT mode makes the car a better daily driver, more efficient and doesn’t damage your engine as much? Really want to save up and get a WRX but I don’t know how to drive manual very well and there are some things that I like enjoy about a automatic transmission just the simplicity of not having to switch gears over and over if you are just using it as a daily for the moment but when you want to really push it to its limits it allows you to. So would you says it’s a decent car to get?

One question please; as you mentioned in the video, each of the driving modes we can operate in manual mode. Once you in manual mode isn’t it the same regardless of what mode you in?? I mean if you in inteligent or sport sharp once you put it manual mode it always behaves and goes the same?!??

Awesome and informative video. Just picked up a wrx cvt a couple of weeks ago. It's a nice car so far. Small things I note are the turbo lag, minor cvt whine and I find it's too quiet from the exhaust. Do you have a cat back exhaust? Thanks

Thank you for the very clear explonation! Good job. The only doubt I have, is there engine braking driving on the normal way? If I manually shifting (the sport mode), is there engine braking? Is the acceleration as direct as if I would be in a specific gear in a manual car of an automatic one driving with the tiptronic function??? What could you tell me about that?

I have a 21’ WRX cvt, and yes you can downshift to engine brake. You dont need to even be in the manual mode to do so, you just press the paddles, and after a 5-10 seconds itll go pack to automatic if youre not on the gas. If you downshift and accelerate there’s definitely more and response then if you were to simply press the gas in intelligent mode. Overall the car feels pretty similar to a normal 6/8 speed auto when in manual, and the normal cvt auto the car is smooth and comfortable in traffic with brake hold and radar cruise control
