The Subaru Justy was a compact hatchback automobile produced from 1987 to 1994 by Subaru.
The Justy was equipped with a 1.2 L three-cylinder engine and either a manual transmission or a continuously variable transmission. The CVT technology was employed because with a conventional automatic transmission, performance would have been unacceptable, due to the small 3-cylinder engine.
The manual transmission version of the Justy was known for excellent mechanical reliability and fuel economy. However, it was small and noisy as one would expect of a compact hatchback. The five-speed manual transmission worked reliably, but was far from smooth to operate because its synchronizers were not very good.
The CVT version was able to get reasonable acceleration out of the small engine, but was quite unreliable.
Since the CVT was so unreliable, and the manual transmission, while reliable, was not enjoyable to operate, the Justy was never a very popular model, and Subaru abandoned it in many export markets after a few years. This is especially true due to the fact that the 1990 Justy was the last car in the United States that was still carburated.
In Europe, Suzuki Motors built the Justy for Subaru at its Hungarian plant. However, it was merely a rebadged Suzuki Swift. In 2004, the Justy name continued in European markets on a rebadged Suzuki Ignis.
