The Subaru XT, a compact coupe produced by Subaru from 1985 to 1991, marked a significant step forward in the company's pursuit of performance and style. This first-generation XT, based on the Leone platform, was a departure from the more utilitarian models Subaru was known for, offering a sporty driving experience and a sleek, aerodynamic design. It was available in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations, with a naturally aspirated 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine producing around 95 horsepower. The XT's popularity stemmed from its affordability, fuel efficiency, and surprising handling prowess, making it a compelling option in the competitive market of the 1980s.

The XT was offered in various trim levels, including the base XT, the XT Turbo, and the XT Sport. The XT Turbo, as the name suggests, featured a turbocharged version of the 1.8-liter engine, boosting power output to a respectable 115 horsepower. This engine option, paired with the car's low weight and balanced handling, helped solidify the XT's reputation as a fun and capable driver's car. The XT Sport, on the other hand, emphasized aesthetic enhancements, featuring unique bodywork and interior trim. The XT remained in production for six years, undergoing minor updates and revisions throughout its lifespan. Despite its discontinuation in 1991, the Subaru XT remains a cherished model among enthusiasts, appreciated for its blend of practicality, sportiness, and affordability. The Service Repair Workshop Manual for the 1985-1991 XT, a comprehensive guide for mechanics and owners alike, provides essential information for maintaining and repairing these vehicles, ensuring they continue to provide enjoyable driving experiences for years to come.
