Overview & Reviews

The Baja is all new for 2003. It's similar to the Subaru Outback, but it has an open cargo bed. Certainly a niche vehicle, it should appeal to people with active lifestyles, especially those who ski or surf.

• Comfortable ride, stable handling, decent fuel mileage, multiple configurations, unlikely to be lost in a parking lot.

  Baja - 2003 Subaru Baja
  By Baja Turbo - December 9 - 2:00 am

  You wont see one at every intresection.I get alot of stares and what is it.The best time behind the wheel is when it rains.You can take off faster than any one else,take corners and turns faster.The AWD system works well with the limited slip rear end.I dont know why sales are slow.I think subaru should have come out with the baja sooner,better late than never.I cant wait til the turbo model hits the ground.

  My little Baja - 2003 Subaru Baja
  By Diana - November 11 - 11:16 am

  My little car has averaged 26-28 mph around town and 30-32 traveling. Today it was rear-ended by a large SUV and may well be a total loss. Fortunately the passenger cab was safe though the truck bed was left much shorter and I am fine. The disappointment is that should I have to get another vehicle, it will not be a Baja. I am very attached to my Baja. It has been the best car I have ever owned. I bought the Baja new and have driven nearly 90000 miles. I really have no complaints.

  My Mom Loves my car - 2003 Subaru Baja
  By Donna - September 7 - 6:16 am

  My Mom and Dad says it is the best riding truck. Everyone is suprised the first time they ride in it. Itdoesnt ride like a truck at all and the gas mileage is great. People are always asking what kind of vehicle it is. It is the perfect vehicle for someone like me that needs a truck sometimes and a car at other times.

  Love the Baja! - 2003 Subaru Baja
  By ndentel - August 15 - 10:00 am

  What a great vehicle! Have had it for 3 months and love it. The bed is way more functional than it appears at first, especially with the bed extender. We can easily take scuba gear, ball gear, bikes, kayaks, and skis wherever we want to go without using huge amounts of gas. The interior is comfortable, feature-rich, intuitive, and stylish. There is a solid feel that is not apparent in many vehicles in its price range. The AWD is a dream and its fun to drive. Take it from the ones who actually own and drive the Baja every day-its a great value that should bring a smile to your face.

  I love my Baja - 2003 Subaru Baja
  By mcharmon - July 29 - 1:43 pm

  I love my Baja. I plan to drive it until the wheels fall off, but from what I hear, that will never happen. My Baja gets good gas mileage, its sharp looking and its really fun to drive. Mine is a 5-speed manual, and it will really get up and go. In the mountains, I lock in the cruise at the speed limit and pass everybody else on the road because they cant make it up the mountain, and I go right up as if it were level ground. This is the best vehicle Ive ever owned.

  Best of both worlds - 2003 Subaru Baja
  By echristm - June 2 - 2:00 am

  Subaru has given the consumer the best of both worlds in the new Baja. I can comfortable drive 3 friends around town while hauling something that would not fit in an ordinary car. The mileage is great - 27 mi/gal. The 5 speed is smooth and the Baja drives real tight.

  Love the Baja !!! - 2003 Subaru Baja
  By John D. Ramboz - January 26 - 10:00 am

  Bought a new Baja in Maine and drove it to Florida. What a fun drive it was. The Baja turns lots of heads and people want to know about it. Either you like it, or you dont. If you do, then you will have lots of fun with it. Very nice "car" on the inside, and a nice "trucklet" on the outside. Try it ... youll like it.

  Best multi-purpose vehicle out there. Wife and kids love the open bed. Car comfort and truly a road hugging machine. Sporty and nimble

  Best new compact truck - 2003 Subaru Baja
  By pbranda906 - January 19 - 2:00 am

  This is a great alternative to expensive large trucks.If you are a Home Depot goer this is all you need. It feels and rides like a car and has the room you need for those big items you buy you just cant get in a car.
