Anyone own a Baja?
We got into a discussion last night about the Baja so I was curious if anyone owned one, or used to. Thoughts? Reviews? Thanks.

Re: Anyone own a Baja?
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

Re: Anyone own a Baja?
The 2005 and 2006 models were all one color - no more two-tone with silver cladding on the bottom. Mine is regal blue.
The Baja amps up the tradition of love it or hate it styling. When they came out, I didn't care for the two-tone styling either. Now it's grown on me, and I kind of like the original in-your-face yellow/silver ones. Go figure

Re: Anyone own a Baja?
I have one...silver with 38k and a 5 speed non turbo. It is great. Hauls trees and bikes good and I have an aftermarket locking cover from www.ozzbros.com that was about $500 or so but it is all around a great machine.
I have done some stuff to mine that makes mine more unique: on board air compressor, 12v bed outlet, heated mirrors, black face radio and heating controls, trailer hitch (which I do use), power driver seat (didn't have it from factory), tint, and the bed cover. Best of all....it is finally paid for

Anyway yours sounds like a nice one. I'm with your wife, I don't think I'll be selling this one for anything.

The yellow and silver was my favorite until I saw an all black turbo. How's the turbo with an automatic? |

Re: Anyone own a Baja?
if its a 4EAT (which it is) it sucks. wife's WRX, and now FXT have a 4EAT, and its amazing how much they suck compared to the 5EAT.

Re: Anyone own a Baja?
Did only the Legacy GT come with the 5EAT? No Baja's?
