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 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 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.
