2005 Subaru Baja Turbo review from North America
"Perfect fit"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Window seals leak, making a buzzing sound at extreme speeds.
Paint was peeling off of climate control unit. Dealer replaced entire unit, no questions asked.
General comments?
Very unique, only offered in North America and a few select countries in south America. Built in Indiana. It gets a lot of looks and the turbo will surprise a lot of people on the road. Solid reliability and great dealer support. Absolutely unstoppable in foul weather (snow tires help). Can haul a lot more than it would appear if you are creative. Does everything I wanted it to and more.
