<P> Subaru cars are known for the use of a boxer engine layout in most vehicles above 1500 cc . Most Subaru models have used the Symmetrical All Wheel Drive drive - train layout since 1972 . The flat / boxer engine and all - wheel - drive became standard equipment for mid-size and smaller cars in most international markets by 1996 , and is now standard in most North American market Subaru vehicles . The lone exception is the BRZ , introduced in 2012 , which uses the boxer engine but instead uses a rear - wheel - drive structure . Subaru also offers turbocharged versions of their passenger cars , such as the Impreza WRX and the Legacy 2.5 GT . The 2.0 XT trims of the Outback and Forester also include a turbocharged engine . </P>
