Hi Guys:fficeffice" /><O></O>
<O></O>
I am new here. I even don't have a Subaru yet!. I am just researching and trying to get away from my 2012 VW Jetta wagon TDI. If this subject has been discussed before, I am sorry, please direct me to the thread. If not, what are pros & cons. I know, this is outback forum but I am posting the same thing on forester forum.<O></O>
Is there any major possible issue with 2012/2013 outback (VW TDI has possible $8K HPFP failure!, Iced intercooler and etc). I also hear about outback steering shake. So far what I don't like about forester is their old 4 speed tranny with 2.5 base engine (that is what I am looking at). Is there a plan to upgrade the tranny? 5 or 6 speed tranny should get a lot better MPG.<O></O>

Thanks<O></O>
