Re: 2010 - 2011 Legacy 2.5 with CVT. Opinions?
Hi AB,
We love our 10 Legacy w/ CVT tranny. I used to think that coasting on Nuetral would be the way to save some gas, but that's not always true. If you change the way you drive by anticipate any traffic that will cost you to do 'stop and go' driving - you will save your gas. So far, we have about 10k on it and we are avg about 29-30 for combination driving. We took a trip from Dallas to San Antonio and avg about 34-35mpg on highway driving.
Yes, it would be nice to coast once in awhile, but the tranny will engage in the lower gear first whenever you shift back to drive. I dont think it hurt the tranny, but it makes you step on the gas a bit more if you need to keep up with the speed.
In all, we really enjoy driving our car w/ CVT. Had one on the Lancer GTS as well...but Subaru is much more refine.
Hope this help you out.
