Interesting because the Suby felt like it had more torque for sure, even if the power was less.KuroNekko wrote:Actually, the Legacy makes less power than the Kizashi unless you were looking at the H6. The Legacy with the 2.5 is rated at 170 HP while the Kizashi with the 2.4 is rated at 180 HP with the CVT.
I simply think the Legacy has a better CVT because their transmission builder is more reputable than JATCO. Same goes for Toyota and Honda CVTs. In fact, Subaru may now use Toyota's CVT supplier: Aisin.
The Suby CVT didn't feel rubbery or fragile when driving it. I definitely don't doubt that it's made better.
