Subaru Baja for Sale

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.

Love my Baja

Doug, 11/29/2018

2004 Subaru Baja Turbo AWD 4dr Crew Cab w/Leather Package (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 4A)

Have a 2004 turbo charged Baja. I have had it down piped. Also installed a cat back exhaust system, and had it dyno tuned. I have 226,000 miles on it and still runs like a top. It is so fun to drive. It is pushing 235 horse power. Also purchased a ARE shell for it. It is fun to drive. The trick with it is to run synthetic oil with oil treatment every other oil change. If you own one. I …

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!

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

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.
