| The Subaru 1000 was a mainstream small passenger vehicle that played a vital role in establishing the viability of front-engine, front-wheel drive cars. This was mainly due to its horizontally opposed 4-cylinder engine that enabled the design of a spacious interior, and successful application of a constant velocity joint, a crucial part for front-wheel drive vehicles. |
