Specs, explained
Its powertrain is the 1.8L 4-cylinder with all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
By the EPA's combined rating of 10.2 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 31 litres. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $15.81. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,900 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who it is for
Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
How big it is
Being a pickup truck, it trades parking ease for a cargo bed.
A longer test drive
If the Brat is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent the Brat for a week and see how it fits your life.
Picking a year and a trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.81 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
