2003 Subaru Baja Turbo review from North America
"Baja Can Do Anything (within reason)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing really Wrong besides little plastic clips breaking inside.
General comments?
I have owned my Baja Turbo coming up on a year now. Awesome car. Initially, I bought the car for little hauls, computers while still having a lot of space for fellow employee commutes to work. MPG isn't great, but when you buy a turbo, you have to ignore that factor. The Baja can be used for larger item, you just have to think a little in advance to get the items in there.
ITEM: 2 250CC Dirt bikes in the bed. With a little engineering and welding. I have gotten two full size dirt bikes in the bed and not hanging past the tailgate. See picture. http://upload7.postimage.org/515158/photo_hosting.html.
ITEM: 8 Sheets of 3/4 Plywood; 18 2x4x10; 6 2x4x12 Using some of my ramp mounts, tailgate down, bed-extender on, all wood placed angle up toward the front of the car. Plywood on top of that and winched down.
I love my Baja. Stay on top of changing the oil (synthetic) and a tune up everyone and awhile, the car will last forever.
