You'd be better off trying to find a 2017-2018 1.6 turbo, same gizmos (Eyesight system etc) but better performance and a much better drive. There's only a few about, so quite hard to find. I've had mine 3 years now and have no plans to change it. Here's a 1.6 with similar mileage to the one...

If it's a 2020 car, I guess it's a 2 litre non turbo? Mines a1.6 turbo, and my real world overall average over 3 years is 34 mpg. On a long run, 40 mpg is easy to get. Around town, it's not hard to get 28 mpg. Depends how you drive it. It uses 95 ron E10.

2017 UK 1.6 - my overall average (mixed driving) is 12 km/L, (34 mpg), and on a long motorway run I can get 14.16 km/L (40 mpg). Not bad for a awd turbo, and, from my experience with many, it's damn good for a Subaru.

Since you're already on 17s, the only option is to go lighter. I went from STI 18x8.5 wheels with 245/40 tyres to flow formed lightweight wheels 17x7.5 with 225/50 tyres, giving a weight saving of 7kg per corner. This reduction in unsprung weight made a massive difference to the ride and general...

I had the rack replaced under warranty, so the dealer sourced it from Subaru. partsouq.com is a possibility though. The only parts I've needed during my 3 years ownership have been brake pads, easily found on eBay.

Part number for my car (UK spec 1.6) is 34110VA000

I have the TDI tuning box, mpg is similar to standard if not better, performance much increased. I have a throttle controller too (Sprintbooster). You have to notify your insurance co.

I have aftermarket wheels and just swapped the original sensors over. No issues or warnings.

I think the park brake recall is world wide and affects other Subaru models too. Mine's going in next week for the fix. It's apparently an electrical connector that has been known to crack under extremely low temperatures ie -30c, so unlikely to be an issue in most places.

Yes, winters are 225/50 x 17 offset 45, Summers are 245/40 x 18 offset 55.

None at all. The wheels were a dealer fit option in UK.

There is an auto shut off function. Mine come on, with the front ones, when I approach or open the car, and dim to off along with the front ones when I close it. Are you saying your rear interior lights are on all the time? Yes, they're push-on push-off, but note that if they are manually...

I drained my battery the same way, I had accidentally hit the switch whist loading stuff in the back and didn't notice it. The behaviour of the interior lights can be changed on the top screen on the dash, it's in the handbook. If you use the stop start, it canes the battery, I never use it myself.

I've had mine for nearly 3 years with no issues. Still very happy with it, and really like the CVT. As for parts, there's a few sellers on eBay that do skirts, spoilers etc, otherwise, there's some great stuff to be had from Japan and Taiwan.

I replaced my front pads and rotors myself on my driveway, it's a straightforward job just like on any car.

The 'camera' in the centre of the screen is in fact a high beam sensor. The green led is for the auto dimming rear view mirror. Eyesight came on 2017 model year.

I don't think you'll get more than 3 years out of a battery, mine lasted 2 years an was replaced under warranty. There's a lot of battery drain on these. I use a trickle charger if I'm not using the car.

I run it in mode 4. The hp figures are probably only approximate. Probably addressed on the facelift.

Settings are as below. Not possible to select on the fly as it lives under the bonnet. Not bluetooth. No other recalls as yet. The parking brake connector recall one is non critical and is only affected by extremely cold climates.

Tuning box is a simple device: https://tdi-tuning.com/en-gb/car/subaru/levorg/16-gt-s-168-bhp-170-ps-125-kw-250-nm-184-lbft/crtd4-uni-channel-petrol-tuning-box-chip Only effects the engine. I also have a Sprintbooster throttle controller to sharpen it up a bit. Wheels are very light 17s. I'm...
