Specifications for a 1990 Subaru Justy

The 1990 Subaru Justy roughly marked the middle point of the production cycle of the subcompact Subaru Justy for the United States market; the models were sold there from 1987 to 1994. Notoriously underpowered, the 1990 Subaru Justy--like its siblings before and after it--was a choice for the budget-minded.

Trims

The trims available for the 1990 Subaru Justy included the base DL, the middling GL, and the top-of-the-line Fun. Typically a two-door, front-wheel drive hatchback, the Subaru Justy also had a four-door, four-wheel drive (4WD) version of the GL, as well as the GL 4WD and Fun 4WD.

Engine, Transmission and Fuel Economy

Only the DL has the 1.2-liter, 66-horsepower 3-cylinder engine with 70 ft. lbs. of torque. The other trims have the same engines, but with seven more horses and 71 ft. lbs. of torque. The standard transmission is a 5-speed manual overdrive, although there was an option to get a 4-speed automatic. With a gas tank capacity of 9.2 gallons, 1990 Subaru Justys can get fuel economies of 33 mpg in town and 37 mpg on the highway with the 66-horsepower engine and 29 mpg in town and 33 mpg on the highway with the 73-horsepower engine.

Safety Features

The 1990 Subaru Justy is practically bare in terms of safety features. Besides the customary seat belts and door locks, there is an absence of components such as airbags, traction control, vehicle anti-theft system and keyless entry.

Interior Features

With a seating capacity for up to four passengers, the 1990 Subaru Justy is far from the roomiest car ever manufactured. Also, it is rather skimpy on interior features in general; besides the tachometer, there is no standard air conditioning, cruise control or stereo system.

Exterior Features

Save for the aptly named GL 4-Door 4WD, the 1990 Subaru Justy has two doors. The DL has 12-inch wheels while the other trims have 13-inch wheels. The vehicle has the customary windshield wipers, and head, tail and corner lamps. Otherwise it is bare in terms of exterior accoutrements such as rear spoilers and fog lamps.
