Another Brat?

Date of Review:  Oct 20, 2002
The Bottom Line: Not recommended, If this vehicle is a must, I suggest waiting another year when the H6 powered trim lines are due for production.
Review: When you first set eyes on funky looking 2003 Baja you can't help but think of the infamous 'Brat' Subaru once produced during the early-mid 1980s. Both of these car/truck like vehicles are based on a passenger car platform; the Subaru...

A Great Cross Over Vehicle

Date of Review:  Jan 9, 2007
The Bottom Line: This is a great cross over vehicle - rugged and more useful than an SUV and handles beautifully and it looks good!

2003 Subaru Baja

Date of Review:  Jan 15, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you like it, buy one. You won't be disappointed. However, because of the lack of engine power, and troublesome blindspots, I give it a four out of five rating.
Review: Here in New England, Subaru is somewhat of a well-kept secret. Everyone knows someone who has one or has had one. But you may be surprised that the image of the quirky, foreign, hamster wheels under the hood, with the rotted out half-primed body...

Perfect All-Around Vehicle

Date of Review:  Mar 3, 2004
The Bottom Line: I recommend this vehicle for those that need both a truck and a car rolled into one, but don't want to spend a ton of money.
Review: After buying our first house, it became necessary to look for a vehicle that would serve our needs more effectively than our sedan. We needed something to transport furniture, landscaping equipment, appliances and more. A pickup was our first...

Baja Bliss

Date of Review:  Jan 13, 2005
The Bottom Line: Buy it if you are outdoorsy. Don't if you need a vehicle to prove your manliness. Useful but not macho.
Review: Hello again reviewers,

My little Baja is about to hit 30k on the odometer and it only seems like I was test driving it yesterday. They grow up so fast. Yes, I'm going on like it was my child. But this is the first vehicle I have actually...

2005 Subaru Baja Turbo

Date of Review:  Jul 23, 2004
The Bottom Line: Every bit as useful as a traditional pick up for the average person. Turbo with a 5 speed is more fun than most any pick up out there.
Review: Our requirements for a new vehicle were tough. 1., It had to be able to be flat towed behind our motorhome. 2. It needed off road and truck like abilities. 3. It needed to be fun to drive. Not much out there that fills the bill. Others cars owned:...

A Pleasant Surprise

Date of Review:  May 26, 2004
The Bottom Line: Once you get past the looks, you'll love it. But get it with the bed extender and SnugTop!
Review: When my wife and I set out to buy a new car, we had already narrowed it down to a Subaru. They came highly recommended by friends and coworkers, test drives of the various models left us impressed with their handling, and we noted seeing an awful...

Great car/ truck

Date of Review:  Mar 7, 2004
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car/truck to any one who wants a "throw and go" payload, small truck that will grab the road in any conditions.
Review: I got a black Subaru Baja 2003 over 6 months ago. I live on a farm in Wisconsin we have a few full size trucks that I have drove all my life, so when I got a job in the city I did not want a big full truck to suck gas just to get to work. I still...

An Interesting Blend of a Sedan and Truck

Date of Review:  Sep 7, 2003
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend the Baja, it complements my family's lifestyle. If you are looking for a durable, versatile vehicle, then you should take the time to check it out.
Review: I purchased a 2003 Baja just over 6 weeks ago. As an owner of two other Subarus (Outback wagon and Legacy sedan), I have extensive knowledge of this particular Subaru chassis. However on the other hand, the reader should be aware that I am biased...

2004 Turbo Baja 5 speed

Date of Review:  Feb 25, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you want the best in AWD and can live with 4 seats add a bed cover for the best price/performance ratio in a sport sedan under 25K.
Review: Sorry for sticking this in the 2003 section but there is no 2004 listing for the Baja.

Why the Baja?
I am still trying to answer this question. Our new home is in the woods with 1/2 mile rutted dirt road. After the first snow the...
