2005 Subaru Baja Turbo review from North America
"Comfortable, quiet, responsive motoring, good utility, great all weather performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far there have been no service issues beyond normal maintenance.
General comments?
Very quiet and comfortable. Suspension is very compliant in the rough stuff and cornering on pavement is quite flat and precise with minimal body roll, considering the generous ground clearance. Seats are good on the long haul with good lumbar, bottom and side support. Steering offers excellent feedback and is quick and precise. Handling is very secure in all weather and performance snow tires make it unstoppable in the bad stuff. Turbo motor is responsive and smooth, but gas mileage could be better.
