  Bummed about my Baja baby - 2005 Subaru Baja
  By ellen - August 5 - 10:46 am

  It was initially love @ 1st site but bloom soon faded. 1st issue, dash panels around A/C controls started peeling upon touch, never replaced. Bad experiences w/dealership caused me to go to another Subaru dlr serv. dept when brake problems began & driver window wouldnt close tightly. Was asked if car had been in accident because bolts were missing on one side @ brake apparatus. While under warranty, brakes were worked on @ least 3 times. No permanent resolution on brakes or ANY other issues I ever presented. Extended wrnty doesnt cover brakes & Im still having problems. Told my family to have car fully inspected if accident occurs due to brake issue - and sue the pants off of Subaru!

  Got Mud? - 2005 Subaru Baja
  By Nicole - February 14 - 12:53 pm

  I love this little truck. It is fun to drive. I live off of a dirt road and this truck handles great on the dirt and in the snow. I love that it is enough of a truck that I can haul gardening equipment. The CD player is also better than I expected. In my last Subaru the CD player skipped all the time and the new one I have to hit something pretty hard to get it to skip. It is an overall fun truck.

  MY BAJA - 2005 Subaru Baja
  By JoAnn Schreckengost - October 22 - 3:40 pm

  We were trying to downsize and sold our van and Chevy S-10 for 2004 Baja. Its everything Ive ever wanted in a vehicle, easy to drive. Now I can drive at night with the fog lights; every car should have them. It is NOT a car for a pack rat unless you throw all your "stuff" in the bed; very little room for tissues, glasses, all the things women want to carry, but the other EXCELLENT features far outweigh the incidentals.

  Overall Excellent Vehicle! - 2005 Subaru Baja
  By vv - July 17 - 10:00 am

  Im an officer in the Military and I was moving to Alaska. While I really wanted to buy the STi, a BMW 330 or a Chevy Avalanche, I couldnt bring myself to part with $35,000+, plus I was afraid the roads in Alaska and Canada would be a little too much for the first two. So, I opted for the Baja Turbo. Im very glad I did! I immediatedly drove the vehicle 4K miles through Cali, Oreagon, Washington and Canada. The manual turbo is awesome! I only wish it had the same new engine design as the Outback and the Legacy.

  2005 Baja Turbo, Manual Transmission - 2005 Subaru Baja
  By Grant Kenion - July 12 - 10:00 am

  I love this car. It is fast, corners well, and for paddlers and/or cyclists, it is very practical. 4-wheel drive and the braking system are nice safety features. Everyone who has driven mine thinks it is a blast. Subaru has done a crappy job promoting a great product, but hey, thats Subaru. Dealer was very professional during sale, hope that continues for service.

  Stamina plus - 2005 Subaru Baja
  By SoAnn Ott - September 13 - 12:13 am

  Goes places that a regular or four wheel drive vehicle wouldnt attempt. Streamlined looks besides. This is the truck of our dreams.

  Baja Fun - 2005 Subaru Baja
  By mriccar - March 16 - 2:26 pm

  Im finding the Baja to have great versitaity and fun to drive. I have never seen one in my local area and am enjoying the inquisitive looks I am getting. Its a great vehicle that handles like a car but provides small truck capabilities.

  2005 Baja Sport - 2005 Subaru Baja
  By NekoJCat - January 12 - 10:10 pm

  Great little car, I was considering the Turbo model, but when it came down to it the Sport was sufficient for my needs. It still has quite a bit of kick to it, and does a very impressive jump off the line. Ive had it about a month now, gets looks around town, some good some bad, but that was my draw to it. Its a unique car, and it really is a blast to drive.

  Sporty AND cute - 2005 Subaru Baja
  By Nurse - December 22 - 10:00 am

  I had no intentions on buying a car when I bought this Subaru....I drove an Isuzu Rodeo and was going to look at the new Isuzu (which I found out that they were the same as a Trailblazer or Envoy) So I was not impressed. I saw the Baja at the lot and it really caught my eye. I took one out for a test drive and it was sweet! Then the guy asked me to drive the turbo version...so I did. That was all it took! I never had a car with such pep and its so much fun to drive. The safety features were also a major selling point. I wasnt ready for a luxury car yet, I still like the fact I can go to Home Depot and throw stuff in the back! I got Quality, Safety, Perform
