I love my 05 Baja Turbo! Best vehicle I have ever owned! It is super fast and fun to drive, gets around incredibly well in the Montana winter months and it hauls everything I need. Best vehicles ever!

Versatility of a truck with the practicality of a car.
Power steering belt needs to be tightened regularly. Otherwise it is a great car, runs smoothly and the all-wheel drive is great. Having a bed is really nice, the overall size of the vehicle is very practical, it can fit in compact spaces, which is easier than a big truck.

That it has a turbo charged motor and has the leather package.
I like that it is AWD and that it has the turbo upgrade. I also like the leather interior and the sunroof.

AWD Baja is better than an SUV.
It is a very reliable car. I love it. Has plenty of room. We have a back hard shell to make it look like an SUV. We car camp in it and it is AWD so we are able to play in the snow and rain.

Subaru Baja review I love
I love everything about my vehicle. I really love the truck bed. It helps when I need to haul things for my parents..such as coal or wood. It goes really well in the snow. It is really good on gas. It gets me to where I am going. I just love it. They don't make it anymore.

That it looks like it is part truck and part car but the car part only holds 4 people and the truck part doesn't really haul that much.
I like it because so many people comment that they like it. I kind of don't like how it is such a small truck. I also am not sure I like how it only seats 4 people. It has been a good vehicle for us.

It may look a little bit like a truck but it's not really a truck you cannot put a sofa in the back of it or a refrigerator it's not that much hauling space it's enough falling space to haul a bag of grass seed or something like that but not an excessive amount of space
I like the durability I like the birth certificate e of the vehicle the fact that I have hauling space open hauling space for carrying stuff Subaru is probably the most versatile and durable vehicle available I also really appreciate the fact that I get really good gas mileage rarely have to have repairs done

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Kelly F.

One of the pros of owning a Subaru Baja is that it has a truck bed. It is also very convenient. Another pro is the it is small and easy to get in and out of as I am a smaller person. I also live how economy friendly it.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Kelly F.

One con of owning a Subaru Baja is that is does not get amazingly great gas mileage. Another con is that it has a lot of maintenance needed every year. Because this model is no longer made it can be expensive to get fixed.
