The new Outback is fine - no complaints from me. No problems with CVT at all, no over revving in my experience. Driver assist technology in modern cars is awesome. We are a shandy off driverless technology.
Sure if you want a big donk with a clunky 4 speed auto then don't buy one. But if you want a reasonably priced well appointed car then I've never had a problem with the old Liberty or the new Outback so far. Service schedule is pretty short (6 monthly) so that's my only complaint, but you can get fixed price servicing from most dealers. Also 5 year warranty easy to negotiate, by which time you are looking to move it on anyway.
