My wife and I both have Subaru's. She has a 17 outback and I have a 14 Crosstrek. Yes, and i'm secure enough in my heterosexuality to drive anything (except my moms old VW Beatle). Previously I also owned a 13 impreza and a 08 STI stage two Cobb AP upgrade. That was a sick car. Liked them all and never had any major mechanical problems with any of them.

As far as CVT. If you know anything about them you would know the reason many car companies are switching over to them is due to two things. Government regulation to mandate better fuel economy and generally they are cheaper to manufacture than tradition transmissions. There is approximately +600 less parts in a CVT Tranny than a transitional gear style and generally they provide smoother driving experience and longer reliability. When many companies started to switch over to the CVT's yes there was generally some quality and design issues as with any newer designed product. But generally these days I would put a CVT against any automatic gear transmission for lasting longer and more reliable. Not to say there are not lemons out their.

All that said I generally hate driving any thing without a stick. To me its not driving. Next vehicle i buy will have a manual transmission no matter what.
