  Baja - Arriba - 2005 Subaru Baja
  By gmroper - March 21 - 10:00 am

  What a fun car to drive. Though the car has been out for 1year+, it still draws looks. Comfortable, peppy and utilitarian. Ive hauled all but the biggest cargo and had fun doing it. In town milage is great compared to other vehicles Ive driven, and though over the road could be better (I get 29mpg) it is a terrific. My wife has one as well and she likes it better than the sporty cars she has driven before. In short, a fun truck, sporty but useful. No hesitation to recommend it to anyone wanting something different.

  pickup/car - 2005 Subaru Baja
  By Ted I - March 3 - 11:16 pm

  Its just too bad subaru does a really bad job of stocking up on these cars by me! I dont know how anyone WOULDNT want one! Drove the car off the lot new years eve, then drove up to a friends house in New York. Have driven the Baja home after work in a snow blizzard-car didnt slip once. Was pretty skeptical about the AWD at first, but after this trip home, im convinced its GRRRRRRREAT! Felt safe the whole ride.

  excellent work truck - 2005 Subaru Baja
  By FL inspectors - August 24 - 1:03 am

  290,000 miles in 5.5 yrs. 90% of the time with a generator and tools in the back. Minimal maintenance, record of 220,000 miles before 1st belt change. AWD with FL rain, wonderful! 24 mpg with full load. Very satisfied. A little worried about inevitable future maintenance due to mileage.

  Most Fun I Ever Had! - 2005 Subaru Baja
  By Renee - August 1 - 10:10 pm

  This is such a great vehicle. I lusted after the Brat in the 70s but never got the chance to own one. Thirty years later when it was time to buy a new car, this new version was on my list. After test driving an Infinity G35, VW Passat, and Mitsubishi, this was my last and final choice. As soon as I got behind the wheel, I was hooked! Ive had this car for 2 years now and havent regretted purchasing it once. For a fun time, dependability, and unusual looks, check this one out. People stop me all the time and ask about it; its different from everything else on the road. Go for the manual transmission... its great fun!

  Happy Days with My Subaru Baja - 2005 Subaru Baja
  By PARA 958 - July 23 - 1:06 pm

  Have had 3 other Subarus but this is the first Baja. Love the looks of this car, the comfort of the well designed seats, and the fuel economy (20 city, 28 hwy). Love the comments I receive from people and the ability to haul light items in the bed. The bed extender was a nice touch. Looked at the Turbo model but decided against it because of having to use premium fuel. For those who need a car to zip here and there on errands, this car meets those needs. Back seats are comfortable and up above the front. Backseat passengers love it. Wish the rear window would raise up. But other than that, no complaints about my Baja.

  Baja - 2005 Subaru Baja
  By Bob - June 30 - 1:56 pm

  I recently purchased the Subaru Baja Sport for my commute to work. Although its only been about one month since I bought the Baja it has proven to be a good choice. I am getting 28mpg. Its fun to drive and though its no sports car it handles and accelerates good enough for me.

  Worse Car I ever owned - 2005 Subaru Baja
  By bearbryant1 - April 8 - 12:45 pm

  this has to be the worse car i ever owned. and would never purchase another Subaru ever again and would suggest that you never purchase one you would save more money on repairs if you got a mercies Benz or a BMW cause it will cost the same to repair.

  What a Great little Truck! - 2005 Subaru Baja
  By Sacttwndude - November 13 - 5:36 am

  Bought this crossover because I was tired of high gas prices and low mileage on my Toyota 4x4 Tacoma Crew Cab, and also the family SUV. However I was really addicted to the AWD on the Hyundai Santa Fe...which was also a wonderful car, but costly in gas and low mpg. Both truck and suv were new. So sold them both and got my first Subaru...a Baja. Definitely best choice, took it off road; no problems handled like a trooper, never got stuck. Took it on a cross country trip, perfect the whole distance, not a problem, and decent to good on the gas for a full time AWD vehicle. Definitely will consider another one, too bad Subaru will not be making them, maybe another manufacturer will start to make them.

  More Fun Than An Outback - 2005 Subaru Baja
  By Jim Silvania - October 7 - 8:36 am

  Traded a 2002 Outback for a 2005 Turbo Baja. Turbo a lot more fun to drive and the Baja suits my purposes as a small pick-up. Great car for me. Wouldnt mind a cover for the truck bed but $1,000 a little too pricey. Most enjoyment is to watch all the young kids catch up to me and watch them laugh when they see an old man zipping around in such a youthful looking vehicle. It is fun to drive, sun or snow.
