Stop start is an annoying
Stop start is an annoying feature. But my main concern is that people put there keep referencing subaru engines as horizontal opposed. Subaru along with porsche, air còoled Volkswagen, Alfa suds, jowett, and the list goes on, are not horizontal opposed engines.
For an engine to be horizontally opposed it must have 2 pistons in the same cylinder bore,.
For some reason modern journalists who have no engineering or mechanical qualifications have come up with this nickname due to ignorance.
Google commer knocker to see what a real opposed engine design is.
I hope the journalist that stared this conversation gets back to me so I can explain the principal to him in detail.
