The 1989 Subaru Hatchback: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1989 Subaru Hatchback; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page sets out the 1989 Subaru Hatchback for buyers, in plain words.
A buyer's checks
NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The numbers in plain words
The powertrain to know here is the 1.8L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Combined fuel use is 9.4 L/100 km: about 28 litres for 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $145.70 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,700 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the Hatchback
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Practical details
Being a small car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. The EPA lists 311 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Hatchback answers the big questions. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Picking a year and a trim
Within the 1989 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.57 in fuel.
