I never really announced on here I had bought a new car, but I did and it's a 2012 Outback premium. I opted for the CVT after having been a manual trans guy in just about everything else I've owned.
I find the level of engine noise coming into the cabin on this car borderline unacceptable. When you are on the gas and the tach is sitting at 3 or 4000 as the car is accelerating the amount engine sound is higher than any car I have ever owned. Just last night I had my wife put her Legacy GT into 2nd gear and run it up to 3500....engine noise in her car is FAR more subdued than mine.
Does anyone else feel this way about their car? The thing is perfect in every other way....I totally adore this car. But I really wish and think Subaru should have paid more attention to what I'm describing.
I would like thoughts and opinions please....
