So you’re interested in buying a Subaru. Maybe you want to stand out in a sea of same-looking commuter cars, or maybe you just appreciate the all-all-wheel-drive (BRZ aside) lineup. Either way, you’ve made an erudite choice. Before you buy, though, you should know about the single biggest Subaru uniquity: the company’s engines.
Subaru is one of two manufacturers to use flat engines in their cars (well, two and a couple halves, but we’ll get to that), and it’s the only car company that doesn’t build any other kind of engine. Even Porsche, maker of the flat-engined Boxster and 911, uses more traditional configurations in its crossover lineup.
