MODERATORS
Doesn't Toyota own like 40% of Subaru?
Huh.
FHI being Fuji Heavy Industry, which is now Subaru Corporation.
*Subaru Corporation:
Owners
Toyota (20.42%)
The Master Trust Bank of Japan investment trusts (14.15%)
Custody Bank of Japan investment trusts (5.28%)
State Street Bank West Client - Treaty 505234 (1.56%)
(as of September 30, 2024)[3]
Nissan made some absolutely terrible design decisions, namely the wide use of CVTs. I think this has contributed to their downfall. I imagine Subaru and Mazda will be OK.
To be fair, Nissan CVTs end up being garbage because their fluid change interval is like 100K miles when it should be 30K miles. Change that fluid on the regular, and it'll be fine.
Subaru uses CVTs as well.
The problem is people see Nissans CVTs being shit and just assume all CVTs are shit. Really Nissan just chooses to make shit CVTs and their brand suffers because of it.
Subaru puts CVTs in their cars and they're largely fine. They naturally had some teething issues initially but coincidentally that was with the torque converter side of things and not the CV side.
Toyota does too have several CVT options.
