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.

Good So Far - 2004 Subaru Baja
By glj - December 24 - 10:00 amOnly have 1200 miles on it, but I love it. Sold a Ford Ranger to get this because it suits my needs better. Turbo really gives it some power. Id recommend the turbo. Features and build of the car are solid.

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.

Very Happy - 2004 Subaru Baja
By mc555 - January 15 - 2:00 amJust got mine 2 weeks ago, 1000 miles on it. Yes, I rack up the miles. I love the fact that it is a bit different and attracts attention. But most of all, I like the way it can handle the roads and conditions here in the NE. An inch higher ground clearance than my grand cherokee (150K miles in 6 yrs), good pick-up and all wheel drive. This isnt a light little thing either, not many lbs less than the jeep, but significantly better mileage and rides well over the rotten roads here. And the light grey bottom amd darker gray top is an awesome looking vehicle. Will carry bikes or hold all my camping gear.

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 fun truck alternative - 2004 Subaru Baja
By Dr.D. - June 27 - 2:00 amReplaced an old trusty Ford Ranger, and worried about the fact that the Baja is not a truck. I can still do almost everything I need to do, and many things I couldnt do before. The Baja is just plain fun, especially with the 5-speed. It really hugs the road and gives you a feel of control. Theres plenty of power in the 4-cyl with the 5-speed (drove the automatic and it felt a little sluggish), and the mileage beats most competitors. The back seat isnt great, but I sit in the front! Have not regretted this purchase.

This truck is a blast - 2004 Subaru Baja
By Bertag - November 26 - 2:00 amMy Turbo Baja handles like a sedan, will haul my bicycles or dirt bike and accelerates like a musclecar. The interior is well designed and very comfortable. The five speed was hard to find but well worth the effort. If 80% of the full size truck drivers would admit to themselves that this is all they really need for hauling and off road operation---they would be a lot happier on a daily basis.

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.

Baja Rocks! - 2004 Subaru Baja
By davescomp - April 21 - 2:00 amThis vehicle has just what I wanted, and everything I needed. The ride, space adn comfort of a car, and the ability to throw whatever I need in the back. I dont have to worry if I am hauling something dirty or smelly, and if it is something long, I can open the back end. It may seem like a short bed at first, but with the conversion of teh back seat and the bed extender, it is not bad at all. I have brought home full sized panneling, lumber, lattice, bags of concrete, and hauled many other things like plants and muddy yard tools. All I had to do was spray out the back end!
