Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles Subaru wants us to believe that they've been able to put the performance of a WRX into what's essentially a practical family wagon well we're about to see if they did it or not we're up here on the beautiful central coast of New South Wales to visit Central Coast Subaru today we're picking up the 2018 Subaru levorg STI two liter and we're going to take it for a drive through the country so I didn't give you our review entering into the cabin you can see that it's typical Subaru with all the added comforts of the STI range the leather seats hug you frame nicely and everything is positioned thoughtfully and ergonomically and there's plenty of room in the backseat for friends family and kids first thing I know as we take up up the hill it's quite steep and there is so much power really gets up a boogies once that turbo spools up there is a slight turbo lag and the only other thing that feels unusual is the CVT now I'm not really accustomed to CVT's but they feel a little bit like an elastic band winding up before they're loose and they take off from my understanding the Levorg that does not come in a manual gearbox it only comes this CVT automatic gearbox which obviously makes life a lot easier when you're driving around especially in urban areas and being targeted at these family market it's probably just fine I'm a manual gear box lover and before I could put a manual gearbox into this car I would love to have it sitting in my garage with my other cars so let's talk about power we're in the 2-liter STI model so we've got a 197 kilowatts from memory 350 Nm of torque it's running through a symmetrical all-wheel-drive system so probably one of the most intelligent all-wheel drive systems of all the cars available these days and and particularly if you're running it snow weather and icy weather this is the car that you need well this is the style of car you need being a wagon there's so much space in the back obviously you put a set of racks on here and a capsule and you can bring a whole family and all this ski gear to the snow that's coming in a snow season right now now being the 2 liter engine the Nm of torque the torque comes on a little bit higher revs than the 1.6 liter it comes on at around about two and a half thousand friends instead of 1800 revs just enough to be noticeable but certainly the turbo lag is not something that you need to worry about at all there's plenty of hope the moment they put your foot down it's got a nice little turbo whistle and in fact let's switch out of well let's switch the CVT into the automatic manual mode and now we can use the paddle shifters to change gears all right now they're on let's see how responsive it is using paddle shifters much more responsive using the paddle shifters there's no doubt about it however you can still feel that an elastic band slingshots style of gearbox the CVT is yes the paddle shifters make it better no they don't make it like this DSG or a manual gearbox but still a beautiful car nonetheless one thing about the Levorg that I really love the amount of camera it's got every Every car has reverse cameras these days well if they don't buy shoes but this car has got the camera out of the passenger side mirror so when you're reversing into a parking spot you can actually see where the gutter and where your wheels are so you dont scratch your rims looking at the camera right now that's coming out from an underneath the bonnet so you're looking at the road level from underneath the bonnet looking ahead I don't know the exact reasoning for that I can only assume that if you're parking forward towards a gutter then you can actually see where to stop but it is or it can be activated while you're driving as well and I can see that right now very cool I think Subarus really nailed it with this car this is the latest and greatest of course and and it is the top of the range for the WRX style model but everything so comfortable you could sit in here for hours and days and it's tour in it really comfortably you can take it to the track and have an absolute rip-roaring time around the track and you can drive it every day with these and comfort with it out without the stress I've had some performance cars here so certainly this is the worst part of the day I have to take this car back to Central Coast Subaru now I love this car and it gives you literally gives you the best gives you space it gives you sexiness it gives you performance and it's just a very very practical but fast car I'd like to take the opportunity to thank Central Coast Subaru for looking after me today even minutes the LevorgSTI and letting me take it for the day and give it a really nice solid review I don't want to give it back in fact Subaru if you don't see me in the next hour so yep I can quite confidently say this is a WRX in a wagon if you're in the market for a sports wagon so you can happily take on the tracks that you can happily be a little bit of a hoon there reliving your childhood but you can easily put the kids in the back and all of the shopping go to Subaru check this out take a Levorg for a drive and in particular the STI two liter is what I drove today so thanks again for watching throttle down under folks and I will see you on the next video and don't forget to hit that big red subscribe button down below give us a thumbs up if you enjoyed the video and please leave a comment below to tell me what you'd like to see next what car or motorcycle would you like to learn all about and I'll try my best to make it happen see you guys
