Left Field Choice 2021 Subaru Levorg AWD

[ziggy328]

Well, it came the time to repllace the trusty Honda Accord 2015 2.4 iVTEC estate. We bought the Honda 9 years ago on 40,000 miles and traded it in yesterday for a 2021 Subaru Levorg AWD 2.0 estate after the Honda reached 116,000 miles.

I'd read some not very complimentary things about the auto CVT box in the Levorg, but we headed off yesterday on a 200 mile round trip to test drive the car, and I have to say we were so impressed we bought it. It drives really well, and is built as good as if not better than the Accord. Yes it's a bit thirsty but we don't do many miles in it these days. It's a single trim level car so it's got all the toys, including a rear view mirror that changes to camera mode which for some reason I found really cool.

We collect the car on Thurday. Couple of photo's.

Should be one for the ‘cars you didn’t know existed’ thread.
Looks smart though, what engine is it?

Nothing special, 2.0 4 pot NA petrol. Performs well enough for what it is though. With my wifes trips to the garden centre I think the contoured plastic boot liner is more useful than the engine

Welcome to the club. You really don't see these out and about. I don't think I've ever seen the 2.0 NA one!

Shameless cross post for mine

Thanks, shame the 2.0 doesn't have the bonnet scoop, although not sure the wife would have been as keen on one as me. Yours looks great, wonder if I can mod hers without her finding out
