Subaru Justy History:
The first Justy was introduced in 1984, but was not imported to the US until 1987, and 4WD was not available here until 1988. The Justy was updated in 1989 with a new, rounder body and a 5DR version appeared in 1990. These new models also had Multi-Port Fuel Injection and an optional ECVT transaxle. In 1994 the original Subaru-built Justy ended and became a renamed Suzuki Swift fitted with Subaru 4WD; it was sold in most European countries. None were ever imported into the US, but you could get its replacement, the Geo Metro. In 2004, this was replaced by a Suzuki Ignis known as the G3X Justy. In some countries it was also sold as the Subaru Trendy. There was never a factory Subaru Turbo Version, and all 1995-2003 Models used the Suzuki G13 four cylinder engine.
The
US Justy was equipped with the 1.2L three-cylinder SOHC 9v engine (EF12), and a
manual transmission or an optional continuously variable transmission beginning
in 1989. Front wheel drive was standard or, on-demand four wheel drive was
available on GL models. The manual transmission version was known for
excellent mechanical reliability and fuel economy, 50 miles per gallon!!!
The transmission worked reliably, but was noisy and not smooth to operate
because of its synchronizers. The EF12 ranged from 66 to 73HP, but is
capable of 130HP on stock internals, and over 200HP with upgrades. If
