Hey guys!
I'm not sure where else I can go and ask about this unique vehicle. I am fallen in love with Subaru Brat after watching this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnolzTQ1zXI Does anyone here own one? Has anybody owned before? Please share your experience with that car if you own one or have a friend who has one. I've been searching through CL and ebay lately. But most of the cars for sale look to have seen good days already. I personally have not seen the car in real life. If you or your neighbor have one for sale you can let me know!!

I've owned about 10 Subaru's over the years. My '88 GL104WDTurbo was basically the sedan version of the BRAT. Loved that car.
I did some pretty heavy off-roading in it... Anza Borrego Badlands, etc. The car was fantastic. Guys in Broncos were always amazed to see me cruising out there in a sedan! Of course, ground clearance was limited, but my car had the air-adjustable suspension option to give a bit more clearance. Yes, rust is a big problem for the older ones. An extremely fun car. I highly recommend it. Just looked on Ebay and saw a couple BRATS that looked good. |

If I found one I would probably drive daily but the car might not see off road soon. Since you're in CA, I wanna ask how easy it was to pass the smog inspection? Most of the Brats for sale are 150K miles or more on them. Are they equipped with a cat converter? Thanks, kkid (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
