a play on those three words is exactly

how the Subaru Levorg got its name

Its not the best thing on the planet but its not that bad either

I mean we tried to come up with a name in the office

and well, we only came up with

Glutton

Can you imagine around a Subaru Glutton?

Yeah, we can't either

Let's not get caught up in the name too much

and put our focus back on the car shall we?

The Levorg exterior styling is consistent

with Subaru's model line-up

Its got the swept back hawk eye headlamps

hexagonal grille

and a tail light configuration

We've also heard that Subaru has benchmarked Audi on their

S3 and S4 which is apparent

because if you take look at the silver side mirror

against the red paint, kinda reminds you of those Audi's

where it's really quite and wants to whisper

I wanna go fast

The interior is a mix of emotions

While these plastics over here aren't the greatest to the touch

there's still a lot to fall in love with inside the cabin such as

The sporty leather seats, the flat bottom steering wheel

tactile knobs, the accents on the dash, sunroof to boot

Oh, and my personal favorite

the blue stitching that can found all around the cabin

It really adds to this very Subaru sporty feel

As for the back

More than enough room for 3 Filipino adults

Here in the back, in place of air vents

there are 2 USB ports

which brings the grand total to 6 USB ports in total

which we figured should be enough

to jumpstart a nuclear submarine and aim it at…

The rear boasts a capacity of 522 liters with the seats up

or 8 48-Inch LED TV's stacked one on top of the other

I'm sorry Jacob, what?!

The air conditioning works quite well to cool off the front cabin

no problem there, plus the controls are fairly easy to operate

However as I did mention before, there are no vents in the rear

So during hot days

it'll most likely be that your fan speed will increase exponentially

The Levorg does have body roll

Yes, but it is like a bare minimum

Thanks largely to its low center of gravity and its famous boxer engine

Check this out

Let's do that again

There is a noticeable boost in engine performance

once you pass 2000 RPM and the CVT it just keeps going

However there are situations where, well it is a bit underpowered

such as during steep inclines or when the car is in full capacity

and the CVT too can be a bit daunting in heavy traffic

See, sometimes there is a lack of forward movement

or there is an excess of that kinda makes you jump on the brakes

more often than you normally would

As for handling, the steering is neither too heavy nor to light

its just right gives you the confidence you need

to take a corner on high speed or take those tight city turns

and as a bonus, the symmetrical all-wheel drive

gives you better traction in the wet

which you got to admit in the Philippines is a big plus

The Subaru Levorg comes in at 1,748,000 Philippine Pesos

The Mazda 6, more expensive by a Hundred thousand Pesos

which is probably the same numbers of crickets above me right now

Not much difference in price with all things considered but

you could argue that each car is aimed at a different market

for example the Mazda 6 is more plush, more lush, more refined

The Levorg, sportier, younger, edgier even

I mean sport seats, metal pedals

Don't get me wrong, it still has enough space for all the cargo

of your family. But, I see it more as a good car to take on a

long road trip with friends with enough space to carry

anything you need to throw a kickass party

Or, 8 48-Inch LED TV's stacked one on top of the other

How does that conversation even begin? Did Jacob enter at Abenson's and say

Boss, can i borrow 8 TV's?

Ah sir for what?

Just to test it on a car

Are you crazy?
