Subaru
Subaru is closely associated in Britain with horizontally opposed engines and symmetrical 4 wheel drive, although its range has covered everything from tiny cars to estates, SUVs and rally inspired performance saloons. Legacy, Impreza and Forester built the strongest following, with WRX derivatives attracting a particularly committed enthusiast audience. The register therefore combines practical rural and family vehicles with cars whose preservation, modification and ownership patterns are driven by motorsport culture.
