  1. Are we talking when you "manually" shift your CVT with the paddles?
  2. I wouldn't sweat it glock. The only thing you hear is the newer generation CVTs are "lighter". They're just trying to gain some fuel economy.
  3. In 2yrs of following this, I have not read of a single 2010+ Legacy CVT failure. There is a post on an Outback forum where an owner changed the CVT fluid himself and there's been several posts where owners have changed their own front differential oil. The CVT has a separate diff housing that holds gear oil. I'm only at ~36K miles on my 2012 Legacy CVT, but it's been flawless.
  4. Spark plug change out on a 2010+ 2.5i EJ series doesn't look bad at all. You can easily reach down and get ahold of each coil-over. If you can get you hand in to remove each coil, spark plugs should be fairly easy to change. Thing is, at ~60K miles & ~3yrs, those platinum plugs will look new yet. You could always pull them to inspect, apply some never-seize and reinstall, but if you go through all that, you might as well spend the $30-40 on new plugs. I'm a believer in applying never-seize to spark plug threads and some silicone grease to the coil boot. Next owner will LOVE you. Joel
