    This useful little truck is a great conversation piece and says a lot about me and the things I do. If you need a big truck, buy a big truck. If you need a fast car, buy a fast car. If you need some of both, but only have room in your driveway for one, get the Baja. It pwns.

    Ever since the first ad came out for the Baja, I was hooked. I test drove the first models our Subaru dealership got and it was instant want. They handle beautifully, gets awesome gas mileage and has a wonderful sporty design. The comforts of a sedan with the utility of a truck. I had a 2000 Ford Focus before I got the Baja I have now, and when it started giving me problems, I wasted no time giving the dealership the keys and traded it for my very own, my first Subaru Baja. And I am happy I made the decision. This vehicle is certainly made for someone like me with the life style I have. Versatile and impressive. A well built machine for its day!

    Ride of a sedan, most of the functionality of a small truck, handles great. The engine is just as smooth as my partners RX8. I had a 2002 Mazda B2300 before this, and after driving the Baja, I couldnt bear to get back in it. The difference in the refinement is like night and day. Just had my first bit of bad winter weather, and didnt slide once. This may be my first and only Baja if they stop production, but Im sold on Subaru for life.

    The Bajas supple blend of sport and utility is superior. I went from a full size F-150 to the Baja and it has made life so much easier.

    I thoroughly enjoy driving my car. I was very impressed with the power that this car has. Great ground clearance, brakes,and handling. I drive many cars every day, this one got my attention. No mechanical problems whatsoever. Great powerband, very torquey. Steering positive and responsive. I havent had much snow around here, but when there is the car has no problem sensing traction loss. People ask me how I would describe this car; I reply that it looks like an underdog boxer but has one heck of a knock-out punch.

    I absolutely love my Baja! Fantastic handling, comfort, and style with more than enough room for cargo for me. I do wish the gas mileage was a bit better, though.

  • Small Commuter Truck - 2006 Subaru Baja
    By -

    I bought this Baja Sport as an economical alternative to my RAM 2500 Diesel for a round trip commute of 70 miles. Being only 59" and 180#, this vehicle seems harder to get in the drivers seat than any I have ever owned. It also lacks the power of any previous vehicles. But, I did not buy for power and once you are in the drivers seat, this is one of the most enjoyable cars I have ever owned. It has a sports car ride and feel. Interior finish sets the standard for its competitors. Base vinyl/fabric seats are supportive, top quality, and everyone thinks it is leather. Door panels are equally impressive. Engine is very quiet. Transmission shifts smooth but downshifts at the slightest hill.

    This truck with the options for the bed extender does everything I want it to do. It drives like a car and really hauls the stuff.

  • good car - 2006 Subaru Baja

    I sell Hondas, so you can imagine what kind of buyer I am. The Subaru is for my wife (yes I could not sell her a Honda). Anyways the car is great - she loves it, the only thing they need to improve is the pick up from 0 to 60 for the auto transmission, its a little bit sluggish. Also a gas guzzler considering is a small car; we get 18.5 miles to gallon on city with light traffic. That is what I get in my V-6 Isuzu Rodeo 4x4, then again you have to consider that the Baja is an all wheel drive. Overall Ill give a 9.5.

    I owned a Ford Ranger before this and I wanted one that was more fuel efficient. In city I have been averaging 25-26 and on the highway over 31 MPG. And I improved my comfort as it rides great and I love the sun roof and everything about it.
