The 2018 Subaru BRZ for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2018 Subaru BRZ for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2018 Subaru BRZ, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
Before you sign for the BRZ
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
What the figures tell you
It is powered by the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Its combined rating is 8.6 L/100 km, which means roughly 26 litres for 300 km. That works out to about $15.05 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
What to expect from the BRZ
As a sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second. The EPA measures its luggage space at 198 litres, roughly about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A test week in the BRZ tells you more than any review.
Which one to look for
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Within the 2018 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
What it costs to run
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $150.50 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,050 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.
Let us know
