whether a manufacturer mentions it or not, i think it always safer to break in the car. I just think not doing so is asking for trouble down the road. Going 122mph in a new car is could make things to go wrong, if not now, it will later.

I've learned to live with the delay. As it's no where near as bad as some have claimed 3 - 5 sec? from reverse to drive. It's just the uneven power delivery at low speeds from a stop ("rubberband") that irks me.

Agreed. I have no issue with it being an auto, but the cvt is a bit of a pain. I'd rather get a few less mpg and have a better powerband..

I've never noticed more than half a second to a second delay. If you step on the gas pedal while it's shifting it doesn't do anything of course.

Then trade it in. No one told you that you have to buy the CVT. It's your responsibility to test drive a car and pay attention to characteristics before your purchase, not Subaru's.

I don't see anything wrong with how the CVT shifts. It's only a second, if that. Maybe it's because I had my fluid changed already or maybe I'm not in a rush to hit the gas as soon as the gear selection goes into D.

Wait, you take your foot off the gas while shifting from R to D??

Well, it's really a good idea.....I think
It's not as bad as other cars. The '09 Civic 5AT I had previously, if you didn't wait for a second to hear a click sound after putting it in D and you rev the engine, it would result in a loud bang. That was scary the first time it happened. I had to stop, park and look under the car to see if something was leaking.

kinda similar to this, (funny story)

back in 2007, my friend bought 07 mazda 6 AT, he revved engine in N position then switch to D, after that car no longer move forward in D position, he had to shift to M mode then car would start moving forward, and switch back to D and car would work fine. (so he had to do this every time he made complete stop) He took it to dealer and they said tranny was broken.

this happened within couple of month of the purchase of brand new car

good thing this repair was covered under warranty..

OMG, he did that on purpose though and to a new car! No loud bang or thud? My cousins and I used to do that to an old raggedy '78 Thunderbird to keep it from stalling.

Default 2013 impreza 3 second delay from reverse to drive

I have the 4 door automatic transmission. When backing in Reverse then shifting into Drive, there is a three second delay until the gear engages into drive. After bringing it to the dealer mechanics they agreed that it is a three second delay. The dealer informed me that it is an manufacture issue to recall the vehicle first and then the dealer mechanics can fix the issue. My driveway backs onto a busy avenue with a stop sign about 300ft away and by the time I back into the avenue and shift into drive the car that was at the stop sign is already on my bumper. Anyone know if subaru is addressing this flaw with 2013 imprezzas? That's my only serious complaint, otherwise I really enjoy the car.

have you filed a complaint or case with Subaru HQ or tell your dealer to submit the issue to the district rep to pass it up to the big guys? no complaints no recall

What elevation are you at? I'm at 1200', but was in Denver and noticed this at elevation. I could also stall the car in drive up to 2400 rpm before it would go, at home it's maybe just over 1000 rpm or so. So I think elevation plays a big part in this too. Maybe some tuning for the elevation you live in would be appropriate. Maybe SOA can do this and allow a dealer to load it into ECU.

Don't know if our CVT works this way but it's kind of interesting
