Amazingly useful little vehicle (06 turbo 5-speed)

First of all, to correct edDUMBS... the '06 did greatly change. It has about 10" clearance, and 236 HP out of the ej255 engine (same as the OB XT and the Legacy GT and the Forester XT of the same year and later). They also never came with tonneaus (buy separately) or heated seats. Do your research, author... Anyway, this is a great little car-truck. It handles like the sportier WRX by Subaru and most of the time I forget it's also a truck. With the bed extender you have 5" of bed. With the gate down, you have plenty of places to tie large objects down to. I've moved two couches at the same time, multiple refrigerators, a massive wall unit, and even a 200cc dirt bike. It's a truck and don't let anyone tell you the bed size is too small or useless. Overall great reliability, easily fast enough for mountain driving, great in the snow, and it feels like a tank compared to other Subarus. I even got lucky enough to find a used one with an ARE camper shell for the bed.

Just purchased one of the remaining 2006 leather turbo models. I had to travel out of state to get it but it was well worth the trip. It accelerates and handles great. I traded in a 2004 VW Touareg V8 and do not regret my decision whatsoever. It is much funner to drive than the Touareg and is just as comfortable in my opinion. The only complaint with the Baja is its sub standard stereo and the fact that no navigation system or satellite radio is offered. I have already replaced the entire system and have installed an in dash navigation/stereo.
fun to cruise

The Baja picks up and zings with the turbo engine. The power seats are most impressive of any vehicle I have driven. Quick to accelerate, Fun to look at, and great handling makes the Baja a must have for outdoor enthusiasts who like the versatility, but want to avoid the motion-sickness of a bumpy ride of a pickup.
Fuel Economy Only Drawback

Truck has been very dependable. Good cargo space without being a big hulk of a truck.
