Buying the 1991 Subaru XT
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1991 Subaru XT 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. For anyone shopping for the 1991 Subaru XT, here are the facts that matter.
Recalls and complaints
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. NHTSA has 1 owner complaints on file, mostly about seat belts. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Engine and fuel
The engine is the 1.8L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It is rated at 9.4 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 28 litres. That works out to about $14.57 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,700 a year for 15,000 miles.
When the XT makes sense
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
How big it is
As a small car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Luggage space is rated at 283 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Try before you buy
Rent first, buy later: a week with the XT answers the big questions. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Which one to look for
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 1991 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
What it costs to run
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $145.70 at our price setting. 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.
