compact car from the 1970s, replacing the FF-1 Star. It was afront wheel drive vehicle with a typical Subaru EA61 or EA62flat-4 engine. A fully independenttorsion bar suspension andrack and pinion steering were impressive for the time. The inboard frontdrum brake s were an oddity. Also strange were the dual radiators - the car used only a small radiator (which was also the heater core) on starting, hastening warmup. Even in 1972, Subaru boasted about the foul-weather handling of their cars, and they were quite successful. Priced at just over US$2,000 and achieving mpg|29, the Subaru quickly became a strong selling import car in the United States.Engines
The 1.1L EA61 and 1.3L EA62 engines had no cooling fan, only an electric fan on the small radiator cooled the engine. The 1.1L was shared with the
Subaru FF-1 Star , however the 1.3L engine was unique to this model and the only Subaru engine to have rear-facing exhaust ports. Most 1972-1973 models were equipped with the 1.3L EA62 engine and dual carburetors was an available factory option. The transmission was also borrowed from theSubaru FF-1 Star .EA61 1.1L OHV Water-Cooled Flat-4
