New Forester 2.5XT – Automatic has only 4 gears

I just read a test report on the above model. I like it very much and I like Subaru very much. Can be good that my next one will be a Subi. But now I had to read that Subaru also in 2008 still a stone-old four-stage automatic installed on the otherwise so laudable 2.5 turbomotor. That’s not possible at all. Driving performances are still quite ok, but in everyday life this won’t be very confident. And of course it drives the consumption after whether or not How can you do that?
