Rubbish to all of that (IMHO, of course). CVT's are the quietest gearbox I've ever driven, rev lower not higher and require no more maintenance than any other gearbox. The catch is that when maintenance is required or something goes wrong, it's typically more costly.
You'd be much better discussing this on a Subaru forum. Honda, Nissan, Audi and Mitsubishi also have CVTs in some of their cars - you could check them out. There may be others.
