Overview & Reviews
A Turbo model joins the lineup, and true to its name, it comes with a turbocharged version of the base engine good for 210 horsepower and lots more fun. In other news, a revised suspension raises the Baja's ground clearance to 8.2 inches, and all models get new medium gray interior trim.

Great Fun and works great - 2004 Subaru Baja
By CJoffe - June 20 - 2:53 pmThe Turbo Baja is the all time sleeper. This car is fast as well as being tough. After a year we still love every minute of driving this vehicle. What people never realize until AFTER they own it is just how great the handling and ride are. With the exception of front legroom, the interior cabin size is great, with plenty of passenger space. The folding rear seats are very handy.

Super Subaru - 2004 Subaru Baja
By RDC913 - December 17 - 7:40 amI just got my BAJA Turbo and I love it. All my friends and even my wife have been against the BAJA because of its looks. Personally I love the way it looks. I have never been one to let anyone influence my decisions. Thats why its parked in my driveway now. So far I am very pleased with it and Im very glad I got the Turbo. Its very powerful and the functional hood scoop looks awesome!! The interior is simple but I sold my BMW 325 convertible to get one of these so its a slight adjustment. I snowboard and wanted a vehicle that would do well in the snow. The reviews from other BAJA owners sold me. I cant wait to use it this coming winter. I wish these would come back into production.

The little truck that can - 2004 Subaru Baja
By BajaFan - October 14 - 2:00 amI was originally looking to buy a Honda Element for its cargo abilities, but I was really drawn to the look of the Baja. The Baja is extremely comfortable and loaded with features. I drive the vehicle to and from work most of the time, but It holds my family comfortably. For home use, the Baja works great. I can go to the home inprovement center and get everything I need into the Bajas cargo area by using the pass through area. When I need to carry larger loads, I tow a 8x10 trailer with little effort. I love this little truck...and I get more than 20mpg everywhere I go..beat that.

satisfied with versatile fun vehicle - 2004 Subaru Baja
By mikeyboy - December 3 - 10:00 amBought this vehicles as almost an impulse purchase on New Years eve-- replacing 12 years of minivan loyalty. Its easy to park, fun in traffic and on curvy roads--even just expressway ramps. My only reservation is about acceleration into traffic--but, meanwhile, responsiveness at highway speeds is terrific--witness 2 expressway speeding citations within 15 months--for 84 in a 65 mph zone--with no traffic around.

The 2004 Baja has arrived - 2004 Subaru Baja
By BajaBhoy - January 18 - 2:00 amPicked up the new 2004 Baja today. The turbo option makes it surprisingly fun to drive, with all the stability of my wifes Forrester. This is not a luxury car, but more of a lads car -- the small pickup bed is going to be useful when the snow melts and the weather improves. Gets a lot of attention, unusual on the streets of NYC. Silver color, looks quite sharp. For the money, an attention-grabbing, outdoors lifestyle-facilitating break from the mundane.

Baja Turbo - Colorado - 2004 Subaru Baja
By hatake - February 5 - 2:00 amRecommend to those who a) haul large object every now and then (it is not a pickup truck, its a car with a small bed), b) dont race (if you do, go with Forester or WRX), c) live in higher altitude (above 8,000 ft) and still need responsive engine, d) not too concerned about gas mileage (about 22 mpg), e) like the looks (at least able to tolerate), and f) if your bike costed more than $1500 and always nervous when it is on roofrack. Its a good alternative car for regular light DIY Home Depot kind of folks.

Baja Turbo - 2004 Subaru Baja
By Baja Turbo 2 - July 31 - 10:00 amI like them so much that i bought another after the first one.They could have left off some of the standard items so they could sell them cheaper.Still could use more power.Im planning on buying a 06 if it is built on the new legacy/outback platform and with the flat 6.Its fun to drive especially in the rain.All in all its a great car/truck.
