Used 2022 Subaru Outback for Sale near Mobile, AL

The CVT was never good but with slower Subarus it was a good match to the weak engine. The Wilderness and it’s powerful engine (21 mpg avg. if you’re lucky) are big casualties of the CVT, which is confused most of the time and make every trip feels jumpy. In other words, if you go 40 mph and floor the paddle , the car will never behave the same. Might jump forward like a Tesla and might take 5 seconds to barely respond. This makes a dangerous experience at times if you need to pass. In addition, maybe to to ride height (the Wilderness sits higher) , the steering wheel constantly needs micro correction and the car like to roam around. Steering is too loose and doesn’t get much better at high speeds. Very unpleasant for a vehicle capable of sub 6 seconds from 0-60. I had other Subarus before but this thing includes so many ideas (taller wagon that was made even taller, more rugged off road we, sports car speed) that it ends up compromising almost everything good about a Subaru. Lastly, built quality was the lowest I’ve seen in Subaru with multiple plastic panels not attached properly or designed poorly.
