fun to cruise - 2006 Subaru Baja
By Paul - November 4 - 12:16 amThe Baja picks up and zings with the turbo engine. The power seats are most impressive of any vehicle I have driven. Quick to accelerate, Fun to look at, and great handling makes the Baja a must have for outdoor enthusiasts who like the versatility, but want to avoid the motion-sickness of a bumpy ride of a pickup.

Subaru Baja 2005 - 2006 Subaru Baja
By Manny - February 16 - 5:43 pmEnough power for a stock drivetrain. Good on gas (hwy). About 400 miles to the tank. Could be a little more comfortable, but the car is equipped nicely.

Fun - 2006 Subaru Baja
By Mike - November 4 - 1:30 amI wanted new car or pick-up truck, and I was undecided, untill 2006 Subaru Baja. It is everything that I wanted! Drives like a car, and I can pick-up some furniture or other items without paying for deliveries. It is a little bit sluggish, however I was supprised at fuel economy. I am getting around 27 mpg with mixed driving. All I need is cargo cover so I can pick-up kids and go grocery shopping when raining.

Consolation prize - 2006 Subaru Baja
By Defo - October 8 - 8:10 pm$100 a week on fuel was reason enough to sell my Frontier and acquire a used Baja. Id trade-off the loss of a little pickup and a 6 bed for the all wheel drive/better handling, great standard features (fog lights, power moonroof, ski rack, bed extender, etc.) to save 30% on the gas bill any day! This vehicle is a great downsizing option. Subaru may want to re-think their decision to stop making them before a competitor does.

Silver Bullet - 2006 Subaru Baja
By Jason - August 1 - 12:16 pmI love driving my 06 Baja Turbo! It accelerates quickly and performs very well. I have hauled a big freezer, a washer & dryer set (whole set at once!), even hauled a riding mower home from Sears. The mower barely fit, but due to the width of the Bajas bed I was able to accomodate it. Its awesome in the snow and mud and I have yet to get it stuck. The Baja comes well equipped with an impressive list of standard equipment. I love driving my Baja!

Our 2nd Baja - 2006 Subaru Baja
By AWD Only - September 14 - 9:16 pmYes it may be an odd looking vehicle to many people, but theres no denying the utility it provides. Add in the security of Subarus AWD system and reliability and you have a winning combination.

Very practical "truck" - 2006 Subaru Baja
By tcatbaja - June 6 - 1:53 pmI came from a Tundra looking for something smaller. Was all set on a Tacoma, but tried a Baja and loved it. Very solid ride, "almost" like an RX7 I used to own. Perfect for hauling small stuff. 21-29 mileage is a stretch; my first tank was 18.3, all city driving, but still much better than the 13-14 I got with the Tundra. I got the Royal Blue metallic, which gets dirty quick. Id probably get silver if I had it to do again.

Decent car but beware - 2006 Subaru Baja
By Mike - December 11 - 4:03 pmIve had our 2006 Baja for almost four years now. While I do wish it was a Turbo (the car is too heavy for the engine to accelerate at a decent rate), it drives very well and is very predictable in bad weather and conditions. The styling is pretty cool, and the AWD is great when it snows. However, my engine has a head gasket leak. Yep, at 70,000 miles - both heads are leaking oil. Its not a huge issue right now, as the leak is very minor, but still the dealer wants $1500 for it. Same price as the other guy - I wonder if we have the same dealer? Who knows, but its still annoying and therefore I will not recommend Subaru to anyone until I know that this issue is resolved.
