The Karin Boor in GTA Online is back in the limelight this week. This two-seater, off-road coupe utility looks like the real-life second-generation Subaru BRAT and typically costs around $1,280,000 from Southern San Andreas Super Autos. However, players can currently obtain it for free as a Podium Vehicle. They can visit the Diamond Casino & Resort and spin the Lucky Wheel for a chance to win the car.
However, one may wonder if the Karin Boor is even worth the effort. This article shares a few important details about the off-road vehicle.
