Review
Squeaks and rattles seem to be the norm. My automatic transmission has never shifted right - it's slow to do everything (my dealer says it's normal). The engine clicks and rattles - again, "normal". So, I decide that I will trade it -nope. I almost passed out when I received my offer. Tried to sell it, nobody wants it. I received a "guaranteed trade value" from Subaru HA! they don't even want it back. The back seat is a joke.

My Mom and Dad says it is the best riding truck. Everyone is suprised the first time they ride in it. Itdoesn't ride like a truck at all and the gas mileage is great. People are always asking what kind of vehicle it is. It is the perfect vehicle for someone like me that needs a truck sometimes and a car at other times.

For a young single homeowner living in
Minnesota, there isn't a better car in
the world! It turns heads, it hauls
lumber home and most furniture, and it
seats four confortably. Rear passengers
will complain about leg room. All wheel
drive makes the car a lot of fun to
drive on dry pavement, and easy to
handle on ice and snow. Everything
inthe truck feels solid - the doors, the
tailgate, interior parts. However, I
docked my truck a few points for
reliability because I am having problems
with clutch judder. Would like more
power but with a stick it's acceptable.

machine. Sporty and nimble

I've had my Baja for about 5 months,
so far it has been perfect, no
problems at all. I have the non-Turbo
four cylinder which I am very happy
with. The gas mileage is better than
I expected, acceleration is fine. The
best feature of the Baja is it's
versatility. True, it doesn't have a
full-size pick-up bed but with the
extender I haven't missed that. I
really like the fact that I can move
my kids home from college, have the
bed packed full, and still have room
for 4 people. Intially I didn't like
the two-tone color scheme (red and
silver) but now that I have had it for
awhile I love it.

My Baja has been very reliable so far.
I have put many miles on it in my
first year of owning it, due greatly
to how fun it is to drive. It gets
good gas mileage. So far the only
thing I wasn't able to haul in it were
sheets of 4x8 plywood. This vehicle
was exactly what I wanted, the
functionality of a truck with the feel
of a car.

I own a 03 Baja. I have an engine
knock that just won't go away. I have
reported, with every trip to the
dealer, and I get the same
response, "We know about but there is
anything to do about it. It is the way
the engine is mounted." Sounds like a
lot of BS to me.
I also have complained about a damp
musty smell, like wet towels left in
the sun, and again they cannot find the
problem.
I plan to sell my Baja ASAP

Owning this vehicle now for one year
has been a terrific experience. Good
fuel economy, NO reliability issues at
all. Fun to drive and gets a lot of
looks. Interior storage is a bit tight
at times. Comfortable seating in all 4
places. Dealer replaced front brakes
under warranty at 22000 miles. The
30000 mile service at the dealer is a
bit pricey for a 4cyl car. Cold a/c in
summer and decent heat in winter. Easy
to maintain and keep clean
