It was with interest that I learned this weekend; Subaru uses horizontal engines.
A friend's wagon broke down 200 miles from home, so we retrieved it yesterday with my flatbed trailer. While loading it up and chaining it down, I noticed underneath, that the exhaust manifolds hooked up kind of funny.
When we got it to his house, and unloaded, I took a look under the hood. Sure enough, it is a flat four cylinder. I knew people that had Subaru's but never looked at them really.
His had a problem, they think with a clogged radiator. It got towed to a dealer in Ukiah, who diagnosed it with clogged radiator. They also diagnosed warped heads. Gave him a $4800 estimate to fix. WOW!
This car had a flat four, but he said the six cylinders were flat too.
