The Subaru FF-1 G (also sold as the 1100 and 1300) was a compact car produced by Japanese company Fuji Heavy Industries from 1971 to 1972, replacing the FF-1 Star. It was a front-wheel drive vehicle with a typical Subaru EA61 or EA62 flat-4 engine. The car also had independent torsion bar suspension and rack and pinion steering, inboard front drum brakes and dual radiators. The car used only a small radiator (which was also the heater core) on starting, hastening warm up. Achieving 29 mpgus, the Subaru quickly became a strong-selling import car in the United States.

Engines

The 1.1L EA61 and 1.3L EA62 engines had no cooling fan, only an electric fan on the small radiator cooled the engine. The 1.1L was shared with the Subaru FF-1 Star, however the 1.3L engine was unique to this model and the only Subaru engine to have rear-facing exhaust ports. Most 1972–73 models were equipped with the 1.3L EA62 engine and dual carburetors was an available factory option. The transmission was also borrowed from the Subaru FF-1 Star.
