I just spent a weekend in a rented crosstrek. I hated the throttle curve. It's super twitchy at low speeds and lacks power at highway speeds. It made navigating parking lots way more finnicky than necessary.

Did it have a CVT? I hate those damn things...

I think so since it was a 2021 model.

The auto stop-start functionality was also really rough. Overall, it just was not a pleasant driving experience.

I have an outback with CVT. It's fine. That's not a racing machine though, it's main job is towing my boat

I own a Forester. It's a car that drives when I press the pedal. I've literally never had an issue navigating a parking lot, and it keeps up just fine on highways.
