The Subaru RX, a name that evokes a sense of nostalgia and intrigue among car enthusiasts, was a compact, rear-wheel-drive sports car produced by Subaru between 1984 and 1994. The RX was built on an updated version of the Subaru Leone platform and was available in both coupe and sedan body styles. Initially only offered with a 1.6-liter boxer engine, the RX gained a larger 1.8-liter engine in 1988. The RX gained a reputation for its sporty handling, thanks in part to its lightweight construction and independent suspension, which made it a popular choice for enthusiasts seeking a fun and affordable driving experience.

Despite its sporty nature, the Subaru RX, like many budget-friendly sports cars, was not immune to reliability issues, and its mechanical complexity could often lead to frustrating problems. The RX did not come standard with a fuel injection system, and so the use of a carburetor meant that it was more prone to issues with emissions, fuel consumption and starting problems. While the RX was offered in both coupe and sedan body styles, the coupe was the more popular choice. Its sleek, wedge-shaped design was distinctive and, for the time, surprisingly modern. The Subaru RX, while not as iconic as some of its contemporaries, remains a memorable and significant chapter in the history of the Subaru brand. It helped establish the automaker's reputation for building reliable and engaging driving vehicles, paving the way for the successful sports car models that would come later, such as the Subaru Impreza WRX.
