The Subaru XT, a compact sports coupe produced from 1985 to 1991, marked a significant departure from Subaru's traditional image. The XT, which stood for "Extra Tough," was designed to appeal to a younger, more performance-oriented buyer. Powered by a 1.8-liter flat-four engine, the XT's unique selling point lay in its turbocharged option. The turbocharged XT, known as the XT Turbo, delivered a spirited 115 horsepower and 130 lb-ft of torque, making it a surprisingly quick car for its time. The XT also offered a comfortable and well-appointed interior with features like power windows, central locking, and a tilt steering wheel. Its design, with its sleek wedge shape and distinctive pop-up headlights, was both futuristic and sporty, setting the XT apart from its competitors. The XT quickly earned a reputation for its handling prowess and engaging driving dynamics, thanks to its lightweight construction and all-wheel drive system, a feature that had become synonymous with Subaru.

However, the XT’s success was hampered by a few drawbacks. Reliability issues, particularly with the turbocharged engine, plagued the XT’s early years. Furthermore, its relatively high price tag and limited production volume made it a niche product. Despite these challenges, the Subaru XT left a lasting impression. It helped to establish Subaru as a maker of sporty, performance-oriented vehicles, paving the way for future models like the Impreza WRX. The XT’s impact was further amplified by its popularity in motorsport, particularly rallying, where its AWD system and powerful engine proved to be formidable competitors. For those seeking a comprehensive guide to maintaining and repairing their Subaru XT, the "Complete Workshop Service Repair Manual" provides an invaluable resource. This detailed manual covers all aspects of the XT, from basic maintenance procedures to complex engine repairs, ensuring that owners have the knowledge and tools necessary to keep their XT in top condition.
