The 1985 Subaru Hatchback: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1985 Subaru Hatchback; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Buying the 1985 Subaru Hatchback is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Before you sign for the Hatchback
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year.
The figures, translated
Its 1.6L 4-cylinder drives through a 4-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
By the EPA's combined rating of 8.1 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 24 litres. Driving 300 km costs roughly $37.68 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Inside and out
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. At 340 litres, the trunk fits about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Try before you buy
Drive the Hatchback on your commute before you commit to it. If the Hatchback is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A week with the Hatchback answers more than any brochure.
Year and trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Within the 1985 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.56 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
