Thinking of buying the 1985 Subaru Brat?
No 1985 Subaru Brat is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 1985 Subaru Brat, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Recalls and complaints
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
The numbers in plain words
The powertrain to know here is the 1.8L 4-cylinder, with all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
Rated at 9.8 L/100 km combined, it needs around 29 litres for a 300 km round trip. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $45.57 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Size and space
A tall roof and wide doors make it easy to load people and bags.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Try before you buy
Try the Brat on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Brat answers the big questions. Drive the Brat on your commute before you commit to it.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
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.

Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
