I hope it's ok to post this here . Dose anybody here own a Subaru baja? I'm looking at one but wanted to see what actual owners thought about them. Thanks for the help.

Wife has owned hers for at least 3 years now. Trouble free. We have the non-turbo, so we get to run regular fuel. We are now over 100,000 miles, time to consider the timing belt replace.

My -personal- gripe, the Japanese have not a clue on how to adapt tilt steering to suit Americans. I have a heck of a time getting in the drivers seat... requires inserting foot up behind the brake pedal as far as I can. Wish they would design the column to tilt up about 2" further.

We are a Subaru family, I drive an '08 Imprezza STi, wife a'05 Legacy GT,My father owned a Baja for a few years, Also the non turbo one, he ended up trading it in for a Legacy GT and buying a truck. It was a good little car. Not a ton of space in the back seats, but i'm 5'11 and can fit back there. The non turbo motors can last forever with even semi routine maintenance. It also got really good gas mileage as I recall.

We leased an '05 Legacy GT wagon for three years and had zero complaints. The only issue was a headlight bulb which burned out the week we returned the car. Very well laid out interior, great visibility (even better on the Baja with taller ride height), and great performance and fuel economy. I think you'd be happy with a Baja if it fits your needs, but unless you need the open pickup bed, I would chose a wagon instead.
