Am struggling with whether to buy a new 2023 Outback with the CVT transmission. I usually drive my cars into the ground (300K+ mileage) but am concerned about the reliability of this tranny. Option #2 is a Honda Passport. Thoughts?

THe Subbie transmission problems were fixed after the 2018 model year. So a 2023 should be good. The only issue is oil consumption. The Subbie manual is pretty clear that if you drive under severe driving conditions, oil changes are at 3,750 miles, not 6,000. Stop and go, short trips, towing, etc.
