Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Comfortable ride, stable handling, Turbo model's peppy performance, convenience of an open bed, unlikely to be lost in a parking lot.
Cons
- Midgate's glass isn't removable, limited towing and hauling capability.
What’s new
A Turbo model joins the lineup, and true to its name, it comes with a turbocharged version of the base engine good for 210 horsepower and lots more fun. In other news, a revised suspension raises the Baja's ground clearance to 8.2 inches, and all models get new medium gray interior trim.
Edmunds says
An interesting car-and-pickup blend that comes up a bit short in outright functionality.

2004 Subaru Baja Turbo AWD 4dr Crew Cab w/Leather Package (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 4A)
the vehical is great in snow. I just
drove 70 miles in pouring rain and it
hugged the road at 65-75mph. never
hydroplaned. great economy 26mpg at
city/highway combo.4 people ride in
comfort and plenty of room to keep
packages outside under the covers. the
quality is excellent and i would
defenitly buy another

4 years and still my favorite

2004 Subaru Baja Sport AWD 4dr Crew Cab (2.5L 4cyl 5M)
At 2 years old it crept stealthily out of a field that had become a mud bog that big 4x4's were being winched from after a substanital rainstorm. I couldn't believe it! I was the only vehicle to get out without assistance! Had minor 1st gear stalling problem that required a switch replacement this year, but no other problems in 4 years!

Good So Far

2004 Subaru Baja Turbo AWD 4dr Crew Cab (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 4A)
Only have 1200 miles on it, but I love
it. Sold a Ford Ranger to get this
because it suits my needs better.
Turbo really gives it some power.
I'd recommend the turbo. Features and
build of the car are solid.

This puppy moves out. A great car
unless you need a trunk.
