The CVT thing is KILLING me. The wife wants a new Forester and the car is fantastic save that. I'm pretty confident we won't own that car to 100k though, so I'm hoping that it'll live at least long enough that we'll end up selling it before it grenades.

Many-geared autos and electric cars can't kill the CVT soon enough.
