Thinking of buying the 1985 Isuzu Impulse?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1985 Isuzu Impulse; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Buying the 1985 Isuzu Impulse is a big decision; here is the information we have.
What to check on the Impulse
NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 3 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, fuel system and power train; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The figures, translated
The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Expect about 32 litres for every 300 km, going by its 10.7 L/100 km combined rating. At our price setting, it costs about $16.59 to drive 100 km. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Size and space
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. EPA lists 368 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A good match for
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the Impulse for a week and see how it fits your life. A week with the Impulse answers more than any brochure. Try the Impulse on your commute, then decide.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Which one to look for
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Within the 1985 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Ready when you are
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 1985 Isuzu Impulse from us first.
