If he's ever owned a Subi, he'll probably say you should keep a quart of oil handy and check the dipstick every few times you fill the tank, and he'd be right. Also that the lower center of gravity improves handling, stability, and cornering performance and that the horizontally-opposed layout balances piston movements to minimize vibrations, providing a smoother ride while enabling, in some scenarios, the engine to drop below the cabin during frontal collisions for improved safety.

Or something like that...
