Subaru Baja

I've sorta been looking into them as a next daily ( yeah yeah, I know ) but I was seeing if anyone knew of any problems that tend to frequent them ( outside of being made out of plastic lol )

Essentially my next DD is either a wagon ( Dodge Mangum, WRX wagon, Legacy?, Mazda Protege 5 ) or a truck ( like a Tacoma Double Cab ) - problem is, I want to be able to haul stuff around, be able to go off road ( no off road, just off the road like dirt or gravel roads without much issue ) and still get decent gas mileage ( which the Tacoma kinda doesnt :( )

you can't haul much with the baja. but you can haul ass with the turbo

I love em. Don't see very many around at all though. I don't think it's because of problems as much as because most people can't get over the car/truck combination thing.

I thik they are hot.

^^ yeah they only met about half of their production sales figures that they were aiming for - they're discontinued now

Instead of the Baja, why not go with the Subaru Forester? A Wrx wagon would also be a good choice, tubro awd, perfect for hauling things around.

test drove an 04 WRX Wagon today :D and a Baja. Baja would be better suited to more mountainous offroad regions stuff. So its like eh... trying to figure out what I'll end up using it for ( I plan on keeping whatever vehicle for 5+ years )

get the baja. it can haul SOMe stuff (car parts, firewood, etc.) but nothing big. its comfortable like a car too.
