I own a 2005 Baja turbo. Currently has 61,000 on it (bought it used a couple years ago).
Personally I love it. I think the biggest downside is the lack of secure, weather-proof space. But - that being said, it's great to have an open bed to haul bikes and "stuff" that you wouldn't want to be hauling inside your car.
It has plenty of ground clearance, even more than an Outback. Plenty of power too, and the sportshift is fun.
A pretty unique vehicle
