The Subaru BRAT: Everything You Need to Know

Ronald Reagan hat a red Subaru Brat but when he got elected he was forced to drive an American pick-up but he kept the Brat.

Good ol' douggy

Did he just say "heavy duty"?

We will see this vid trending soon....

Doug Sir Guy Your Really Cool Ah

Bdratt summer

I didn't know about this car)

he’s so julia

Doug is the type of guy to say BDRATT

This video first introduced me to Doug DeMuro's channel --- I'd been curious about the Subaru Brat, and I ended up here. :D

Bring back the Brat! 📣

That acronym bit went on far too long

So did VW didnt you know VW Started building the Rabbit Pickup truck in 1979

The VW Rabbit Pickups were really cool also I own one

They're beautiful

Yeah baby!!!

Basically them pickups were made for the other country because they don't have weird laws that we have here in United States so those cars are pretty good in third world countries transportation cheap on gas probably wasn't meant to sell in United States but they tried but I think they did pretty good in Europe and Japan

you said bdratt one too many times. im out

Doug! This was the car we had at our place we had a hut like 20 years ago, So nice to see this again! Brings back alot of childhood memories! Imagine how fun we had... Man simpler and good times! <3

i hope someday someone finds Doug as funny as he finds himself.

I had a 1986 Brat! Charcoal metallic grey, red call out decals, t roofs, 4 speed that would top out at 65 mph, but the speed limit was 55 mph. Lost in a head on with a Buick but I walked away.

When the spare tire is next to the engine, you know it's tiny.

Quit calling it "B-DRAT". It was funny the first few times, now it is just tiresome.

This was cool! Good seeing Dougs progression in the newer videos, but this was still quite good. Funny!

Purring like a Subaru Brat. The old one. Floored.

The "BDRATT" 🤣🤣🤣

I think my ‘83 Datsun/nissan maxima diesel can out accelerate it.

I had a 78. I optioned in a roll bar and a skid plate. In California the were registered as a MPV.
The down side was Reverse. Forward had an EL to get you up really steep places. You best not want to back up one of those places (ditch?).

It was called the BRAT, not the BDRAT! Get it right, Doug! That is so unprofessional.

Such a strange and interesting vehicle! I've seen 2 of these in the UK years ago, they were the second generation version.
I've always been really curious about this vehicle and always wanted to know more about it.

Nice car for brothers who like vodka.🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿

That warning chime reminds me of the speed chime in the AE86

I’m a suberu driver. But I would never buy this. Haha!!! When it comes to trucks, I am more of a Chevy guy.

Of course you would be the guinea pig sitting in the back seats of the BDRAT i sat in them when i was a kid , now im 6'3 i wouldn't even try 😅

calling the Subaru brat a pickup because it has a bed is like calling a geo metro a sports car because it has an engine

The whole "BDRATT" thing gets a little OLD by the 3rd time he says it.

They're called Subaru 1800 here in Europe. I remember my former employer had two of them sitting on a grass pit around that farm. Both of them have around 400k km on the odometer.

In Australia, the BRUMBY is an absolutely incredible vehicle! And it is an iconic car

I owned a '83 and a '85 brat and loved them, I would buy one today if I could! I took the '83 brat through 23 inches of snow with half bald tires and it didn't even slow it down! Love ,love, love the brat! P.S. stop calling it the bdrat it's annoying.

Got to drive a 1994 last week. Fun little car

Buddy of mine bought one today, slow as dog shit but 85 felt like 200

My first car in 1985 was a 1978 Subaru Brat. It was a horrible piece of junk. Top speed was 50 miles an hour. I once jumped it over a mound of dirt, because that's what teen age boys do. My friend and my spare tire were riding in the back. The spare tire was chained in and only went up and then back down about 5 feet in the air. My friend went up and back down. He did land in the bed which was good. To this day, he is very angry with my choice to see if the Brat could jump. Needless to say, I had to be towed out of that trail. My father was not happy with me either, as my rear shocks shot through the wheel wells when I landed. I bought it for $600, then sold it for $900. Still kind of whish I had it.

Looks like a dick with wheels. The wheels can be the balls.

The Brat really resembles a dick with wheels.

its not a BRAT its a BIDRATT

How much are these and can i get it imported to finland?

Back in the 1970s a high school friend of mine was working part-time at a pizza place and was saving up his money to buy a truck.
All he could afford was the Subaru. He took me for a ride in it and I actually sat in the back seat, at least I did before the cops saw us and told me what an incredibly stupid thing that was to do.
