Subaru R1 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2005–2010) — First Generation
The first-generation Subaru R1 combines a small footprint with a compact 3-door body. If you mostly drive around town, its size makes narrow streets and tight parking spaces easier to negotiate.
Subaru R1 engine choices include naturally aspirated and supercharged gasoline units, with the latter offering stronger acceleration. A continuously variable transmission adjusts its ratio automatically, simplifying stop-start driving. The drivetrain also matters: all-wheel-drive versions can give you better traction when pulling away on slippery roads.
