It's absolutely incredible how Subaru can be so high on this list with their choice of engine style and transmission.
With that sort of handicap it's either a testament to how great Subaru is or how terrible every other automaker is.

CVTs are inherently more fragile than a geared transmission, they simply cannot hold as much torque.
Almost all Subarus sold in the last 3 years have these engines and transmissions and they still hang.
