My Outback has a paddle shifter for the CVT... while it holds a specific ratio and makes it a little more fun to drive, the long term implications of driving a CVT aggressively like that has some longevity concerns.
CVT, new, is about 8,500 to replace. A clutch lining, which id expect I would need at 100k, would probably cost less than a tenth of that.
Long term I think the MT is built for durability.
In fact, the CVT longevity is probably my biggest concern about the car long term. It’s paid off and has been for years.
