Good job guys. Ordered a pearl white GT-S with Black Spec B wheels 6 days ago, taking delivery tomorrow. Been driving a demo GT the last few days, not blown away by the interior or colour (Black) but the performance is pretty damn good. Already used the extra space in the back and the CVT is growing on me, would still love a manual gearbox though!
Thanks alot Grant and congratulations on your new Levorg! It really grew on us during the week we had it. It's definitely a fun and family friendly car but would be brilliant if it just had a manual transmission and an exhaust like the WRX! Enjoy your new toy mate!
I’ve had one for five years and love it…. Only things that are not good is the noise over large bumps in the road….. The GPS isn’t as good as Google maps… Other than that it’s Awesome
I am a Japanese car guy, but this is the worst car ever. After 3 days I hate it, and it is ready to be sold off. The car is heavy as a oil tanker, and so is the stearing and the lack of respons. There is nothing sportyness about the driving at all. Al electronics are slow. Everything from pushing the car keys to get the door unlocked to the infotainment system. It is extremely slugish. The CVT is absolutely a turn off. The car feels like a diesel and also sounds like one. Acceleration reminds me of a vacuum cleaner. It sucks you forward. The sport button does nothing more than rising the rpm with 1000 while still going at the same speed. No harder stearing or other ecu program stepping in. Only nice thing is going forwards at high speed, but that is about it. Also looks nice. This could have been THE CAR, but everyone except the designer team screwd up.
you guys gotta get mic'd up in car for future videos. can barely hear the chatter at times. but great video otherwise, especially from a father's point of view.
Liked and Subscribed, couldn't be a better video. Owner of a 2013 Liberty 2.5l Liberty myself. Loved the natural/honest aspect of the review. I think the audio needed a bit improving especially in regards to the background noise but great review.
If the performance seems a bit undercooked as stated by the driving Dad. The MRT XB kit supplied and fitted has been quoted to me by Revzone Melbourne for $4490.00. It brings up the torque to still safely under the CVT reliability threshold to 400NM. And increases the kilowatts to 225. These are the same figures of a standard Range Rover Velar 2 litre turbo petrol that weighs 1830 KG Tare in which is approximately 250 KG heavier than the Levorg. Consider the power to weight ratio advantage and the far lower centre of gravity over this $125,000 ill handling bathtub full of water SUV?
the road noise is pretty evident compared to the new Liberty and the Optima GT. I could put up with the road noise and crashing of the Suspension more if it was a manual. My choice is a Liberty 3.6 or a optima GT. both cheaper.
Lost me by halfway through. Collision avoidance and all the other cameras tells me we no longer need any skill to drive a car. The next generation of drivers will have no skill at all, especially when things go to shit and they have no ability to control the situation themselves. .
i was thinking about buying this car to, even though its 4 years later haha
I’m looking as well, did you buy one? What do u think?
Hello. Could you please review the new 2022 WRX Sportswagon (aka Levorg)

Is it only a noise? Or a jolt felt through the whole body and your seat.

How's the paddle shift? Does that make it anymore fun to drive?
All the reviews for this car I have seen constantly mention the suspension is to hard.
I need an EV one of these in USA please.
Thinking of pulling the trigger on a low km GT-S Spec B. Perfect car
The Bilstein shocks make the Spec B so much fun to drive! And with all the aesthetic additions it's so damn sexy! Sport and class.
great review and i agree audio in the car was soft ,cheers.
I wish he could of articulated what little more he was after!

crook suspension
Only if it was manual
Buy a WRX STI?
such an honest review. awesome
great vid guys!
Pity about automatic transmission only
Subaru = Loud blowoff valves with vape pouring out the windows.

And yet back in your day without safety features, the road toll was astronomical. It's almost as if safety features save lives. Funny that
Can't stand the cvt auto. Not sure what it is but anyways. Lol.

can't stand people against cvt auto. Not sure what it is but anyways. LOL
@@GaryKari because it's boring as hell and makes the exhaust note sound awful 🤷🏻♂️😅
@@mwboost Well if stick and awesome exhaust note is for you, then go for it!
@@GaryKari prefer dsg if going auto.
