Initially introduced as a car concept at the 28th edition of the Tokyo Auto Show in 1989, the Subaru SVX is a 2-door coupe which was manufactured by the Japanese company between 1992 and 1997.
Subaru actually means “unite” and it refers to the six stars on the logo that stand for the 6 companies that are united under the FHI group. The largest of the stars represents Fuji Heavy Industries. The company started out in 1917 in Japan as a aircraft research laboratory but soon moved to producing airplanes.
After WWII, the company created a scooter, the Fuji Rabbit with the spare parts from airplanes. Pretty soon, the company split up into different business that manufactured scooters, coaches, engines and chassis. Then CEO Kenji Kita decided that it would be a good idea to get involved in car making and pretty soon the first Subaru car was created, the Subaru 1500 (1954).
The 1500 or P1 was followed by the 360 in 1958, the Sambar in 1961, the 1000 in 1965, gthe 1100 and the R2 in 1969. During the 70s, the Leone came out and then later, in the 80s, the Alcyclone (1985) and the Legacy (1989) were added to the Subaru line-up.
Slowly, in the 90s, the company moved away from the manufacture of small vehicles and concentrated on rally cars, such as the Vivio and Impreza. Different versions of the Impreza WRX won the world championship several times under drivers such as Colin McRae.
Using the technology from the aeronautical industry, Subaru employed many successful inventions in the automotive industry. One of the first was the us of horizontally opposed “boxer” engines as well as the use of monocoque construction. Also, Subaru is the only car manufacturer to offer all-wheel drive as a standard on most of its models. The Japanese manufacturer was also the first to introduce electronic continuously variable transmission (ECTV) which replaces standard gears and gives smooth acceleration while reducing emissions and fuel consumption.
Subaru also takes a keen interest in environmental protection, having achieved an odd record: 0 landfill status for their plant in Lafayette, Indiana which means that the factory generates no trash. Also, the company has an extensive recycling program for its own cars, not to mention the program for hybrid and fuel efficient cars.
1994 Subaru SVX Consumer Reviews

SOOOOO much FUN
I absolutely love this car. The engine is strong, and the style is second to none. I have added an aftermarket exhaust, that does not sound like a bumble bee, instead it purrs like a porsche. This is the most fun I have had in a car in a long time. The only thing I hate is the first question out of everyones mouth "what's up with the windows?"

Best car I have owned
I bought this car after driving the FWD as I liked the look in 1992, but until I drove the FWD is when I fell in love. I have 92,000 miles on the Laguna Blue Beauty & heads turn to try and guess what car it is. I still have the original Bridgestone tires and think I will get new ones soon. For anyone interested in these '92-'97 SVX's, if you buy one get the FWD as the ones with the AWD seem to have transmission & wheel bearing issues, which I never had even though I change the oil & filters more often than normal. Owning a car like this makes you feel different as on the highway it purrs better than any other car I've driven, so enjoy being different.

Built to last! Keep up with the
maintenance and it's a dream come true.
3 sets of tires, three timing belts f/
normal maintance - beat that!

'94 Subaru SVX AWD still going strong!
Best car I've ever purchased. Period.
Subaru's unbelievably well-kept secret
sports car. 10 years old and runs like
new. The style was way ahead of its
time. Still turns heads. Terrific
sports car in the summer, turning into
a virtual snowplow in winter with its
full-time AWD. Extremely safe: heavy
chassis, wide tires that grip all road
surfaces, 4-channel antilock brakes,
etc. It will be hard to part with it;
there is nothing on the market like it
today.

"Greatest vehicle ive had"
I own a 1994 SVX Ls (Front Wheel Drive) and this is the best car Ive had. However it difficult to find anyone who knows how to work on them reliably and as stated in another review its difficult to find several parts. That is the only down side.The FWD version is the best to own in my opinion because you dont have the transmission overheating issue that the AWD versions have. (Front Wheel Drive versions 1994 L&Ls-1995 L) The best part about owning this car is the looks you get as you drive by.

1995 Subaru SVX
"Great Car! Wins the Red Light Races in Snow!"
I bought this car new in 1996 and put the 224,000 miles on it. Run Mobil ONE in engine from the beginning. Very dependable, still use it as a daily driver.

1992 Subaru SVX
"I love my SVX, but it's not for everyone."
I bought my SVX 4 years ago, with 20,000 miles. It's my around town driver, and I love it's speed, handling, and appearance. Caution #1- The 1992-93 models are prone to transmission overheating and failure at mileage 35-90,000. this can be prevented by having an aftermarket tranny cooler and filter installed early on for $ 300-$ 500. I wouldn't buy one with over 50,000mi if it didn't already have these 2 things already. The 1995-97 models are fine from the factory, and rarely have prob's. Caution #2- In 1994-95 the company offered 2 less expensive versions with Front Wheel Drive, not 4WD. Caution #3- Some have had 3 or more owners and may not have been maintained well.

I have owned and still have a 2009 Kia amanti it is now 2024 I have 51000 miles on this car excellent handling in all weather except ice and deep snow very fast in traffic I think the handling is tight and responsive. My spouse has driven this on the interstate frequently and the first thing he did was get it up to 220 mph at this speed is floaty but under 80 mph just a pleasure to drive *****
