Cvt, 2020 outback xt onox

[gretnasubie]

Have a loaner, a 2024 legacy xt, who's cvt is great compared to my 2020 outback xt which shifts like it has a rubber band. Is there a difference? Also, my 2020 outback xt's suspension sucks compared to my prior 2004 forester xt which I recently sold. Any feedback appreciated.

Common complaint. Your local dealership should be able to reprogram the CVT to feel like a stepped gearbox, which most of us prefer. Sorry, can't help you with the suspension questions...
