Great video mate. I test drove the tS a few months back but am still on the fence. (I have a 2017 CVT). Does the auto start/stop drive you insane? I know you can turn it off but then there’s that crap amber light on the dash. Now, I have to get the CVT because my wife can’t drive manual, but why did you go ultimately that way?
Really appreciate the kind words!. Still carry’s the same emblem on the dash sadly, I tend to just ignore it. I find the shifting much quicker. I actually don’t own the car myself but I work for Subaru so I take the cars here and there. I would say the CVT fits perfectly with you specifically the Sports Plus only comes in the TS which does give extra suspension dampening options. The auto just adds a comfortable but sporty feel. Personally I would go for manual just because I’m so used to driving manual cars and would plan to track it here and there. Hopefully this helps in anyway
Teach her in a rwd or fwd car. Get used to it for a day. Then have her try the wrx. I had an issue learning on an awd car like this. Once I got into a rwd manual I learned in a day
Just need to order one in a darker colour and the plastic trim on the wheel archs will blend in.I have not seen one in the flesh but styling wise i dont mind it.
It's a nice & practical yet sporty machine..
This vid was great bro. Much needed 🙌🏾

Is the cabin quite for daily usage?
Cabin sound is very liveable for sure
@@7ol6a Hey thanks for confirming that. I couldn't live with a loud and noisy car
CVT is a gear, it’s just a floppy gear that can change ratios infinitely. There is a range but there are unlimited ratios between that range.
Definitely! Just depends on the RPMs which feels kinda weird sometimes
@@7ol6a No i get you, i think it’s a programming thing to protect the cvt chain against sudden jolts.
Wow
But no spare tire in that boot. What ??? Lame.
There is. Isn’t a full size like the BRZ but still a decent spare
CVT 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🥹
no point if its cvt. learn to drive manual little fella
I agree. I own a manual tho some people don’t always want to triple peddles sadly
