Subaru G

The Subaru FF-1 G (also sold as the 1100 and 1300) was a compact car from the 1970s, replacing the FF-1 Star. It was a front-wheel drive vehicle with a typical Subaru EA61 or EA62 flat-4 engine. A fully independent torsion bar suspension and rack and pinion steering were impressive for the time. The inboard front drum brakes 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 warm up. 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 29 miles per US gallon (8.1 L/100 km; 35 mpg‑imp), the Subaru quickly became a strong-selling import car in the United States.
