What is the Subaru Justy?
The Justy is a small hatchback that gave Subaru a city-sized car below its larger family models. Its compact shape suits urban driving and everyday errands, and the name spans several distinct periods in the car’s history. Later European versions were related to small cars from other Japanese makers.
The first-generation Justy was sold from 1987 to 1994 in the United States. The second generation followed in Europe and the UK from 1995 to 2003, and the fourth-generation model was offered there from 2007 to 2010. The fourth generation was a small hatchback related to the Daihatsu Boon and Toyota Passo.
