The 1997 Subaru SVX for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1997 Subaru SVX; 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. Thinking about the 1997 Subaru SVX? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
What to check on the SVX
NHTSA has 2 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Reading the spec sheet
Its powertrain is the 3.3L 6-cylinder with all-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
Plan on about 39 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 13.1 L/100 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $22.93. The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
A good match 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.
Inside and out
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. For luggage, 227 litres means 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. A week with the SVX answers more than any brochure. Rent the SVX first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Which one to look for
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
