Subaru has long been known as a producer of quirky and capable all-weather vehicles, but fuel economy has never really been the automaker

CVT is never a good transmission as far as response is concern. Overtaking power is often lagging. There are only two things good about CVT, outright smoothness and efficiency.

I know Subaru is not just well known for its Boxer engine smoothness delivery, but also the AWD handling. But the AWD trade off is weight and hence penalty on fuel consumption. Either do away with it or make FWD an option, that will surely improve fuel economy drastically. Does a 1.5 really needs an AWD anyway when it is already struggling with performance and given average economy?

    Japan is weird. I love it (Part 4)

    I recently finished watching Shōgun (yes, I'm a little bit late to the party). Released earlier this year, Shōgun has become an utter revelation - going on to win 18 Emmys at this year's Primetime and Creative Arts Emmys, making it the most awarded single season of television in history. It's also the first non-English-language series to win Outstanding Drama Series.  And it truly is outstanding, fully deserving of all the awards that it has garnered.  As you would expect, the show rev

    Cleaning is relaxing?

    Every once in awhile, I find myself watching 20-minute long videos on Youtube on something that most people will probably find quite bizarre: Carpet cleaning videos.  (This video has 5.4m views!!!!) It's... a particular kind of Youtube rabbit hole. I concede that.  However, I must say that I find such videos strangely relaxing and soothing. Beyond the ASMR component of it, I do find something quite nice about the specificity and particularity of such videos, and in some
