Anyone else have a 4WD or other pre-AWD Subaru?
Classic Subarus ftw

what exactly prevented you from posting the fullsize image in landscape format?
Jason Hall
Why? Boxers are half of why Subarus are cool.
Juan Ross
Boxers are a pointless meme engine with no benefit
Cameron Butler
Didn't have an image editor that lets me draw, so I Justy used Messenger's built-in one, which apparently made it stupid. I didn't even notice until you pointed it out.

But muh lowered center of mass
Seriously, though, it's an easy way to get slightly better handling out of a car without increasing cost too much.
Matthew Sullivan
It doesnt handle better though.
With modern aluminum block engines you can have the weight low and BEHIND the front axles.
Why would you want weight over the axles and spread out closer to the wheels.
Its the opposite of good handling.

Pros:
>Lower cog
Cons:
>More mass in front of axle (if AWD)
>Usually limited to mcstruts
>Twice as many heads by default
I would claim boxers are shit at servicing anything around the heads, but some people REALLY believe it's just as easy.
Michael Morris
I see what you're saying, but does that make the Loyale or older Outback a contemporarily bad car?
Also, is vertical or horizontal weight distribution more important? I don't know a ton about the physics of driving.
