The 1984 Subaru Sedan 4WD makes sense for a buyer focused on a four-wheel-drive sedan with a manual transmission. Its 24 MPG combined rating is usable but comes with an EPA annual fuel cost of $2,800. City driving is rated at 22 MPG, while highway driving reaches 27 MPG. That split gives highway commuters a somewhat easier fuel calculation than drivers who spend most miles in town. Its 370.29 grams-per-mile CO2 figure is another part of the ownership trade-off.
What it is
This Subaru is a 1984 special-purpose sedan with 4-wheel or all-wheel drive. Its powertrain pairs a 1.8-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine with a four-speed manual transmission.
The numbers
The defining figure is 24 MPG combined. EPA estimates are 22 MPG in city driving and 27 MPG on the highway, so highway trips use less fuel than stop-and-go travel.
Tailpipe emissions are listed at 370.29 grams of CO2 per mile.
What it costs to run
EPA annual fuel cost is $2,800. That figure reflects the vehicle's gasoline use under the EPA estimate.
How it compares
Use the 24 MPG combined number for a like-for-like fuel-economy check against other cars. The 22 city and 27 highway figures show how its result changes with the type of driving.
Who it suits
It suits a buyer who wants a sedan with four-wheel or all-wheel drive and prefers a manual transmission.
Trade-offs
Four-wheel or all-wheel drive comes with a gasoline running cost of $2,800 a year in the EPA estimate. Fuel economy also varies by route: 22 MPG in the city versus 27 MPG on the highway.
The manual four-speed transmission is part of the package, so buyers seeking an automatic setup should look elsewhere.
Verdict
This is a straightforward older Subaru sedan defined by its 4WD system, manual gearbox, and 24 MPG combined rating. The EPA cost figure makes fuel a major part of ownership math, while the highway estimate is notably higher than the city figure. Choose it when four-wheel or all-wheel drive and a manual transmission matter more than minimizing gasoline expense.
