2005 Suburu Baja Turbo Low Mileage, Rust Free Southern Car Turbocharged, Intercooled, Fuel injected, 2.5 L Double Overhead Cam, 5 speed, All Wheel Drive We bought this car this past spring because my Wife HAD to have it! She has horses, and felt it would be perfect. Problem is, she is in her 50's, and has developed a problem with her leg that makes using the clutch "un-comfortable" so we are selling the car.... We purchased the car from a Body Shop / Rebuilder in Arkansas, who had been driving the car for several months, after he repaired it. The previous owners were retired, and towed the car behind their RV. I was told the car was being towed by the RV and somehow got swiped in a turn, and the front fender, Lower "A Arm", front door skin and rear door skin got damaged. Not bad damage I was told, and a easy fix, but the Title is now branded "Rebuilt" but should be legal in any state. The car has NEVER seen salt. Even this winter, it has been stored inside (thinking my wife may begin driving it again, we parked it in the shop) So the body is near perfect condition with ZERO rust. The car drives like new, (and is FAST) Not being sure of past maintenance, we did a "full Service" on the Car- The miles on the Odometer are 30K, but the Car Fax listed them at 60K, so we were not sure. The radiator hoses were replaced, new coolant, NEW TIMING BELT with new water pump and cam belt tensioner, new serpentine belt, and new spark plugs were done. New oil, and filter. Basically, all maintenance was done, so we "knew were we are" with the car. We have receipts for these items, but the point is, it is ready for many miles of use! The parts that came off were all in very good condition, but my wife wanted to make sure she was not stranded, so everything was done to be safe. We did NOT detail this car to take the pictures (It was Zero degrees outside) so any spots you see are likely dirt (or snow/ice). The only significant flaws in the car are the Front Passenger door panel, and to a lesser amount, the Rear Passenger Door Panel. This was caused by my dog. My dog (he is in some of the pictures) had to have his head out the window, and his claws scratched the vinyl along the top of the door inside panel. We have had Seat covers on the car, front and back, the entire time we have had the car (taken off for the pictures) We drove the car this summer and fall, and put about 6,000 trouble free miles on it. My wife hauled a few plants in the bed, and some horse feed, so it is a little dirty. It does have the "Blue Ox" tow bar connection set up on the front of the car, and a Class 2 hitch on back. I would not be afraid to let my wife drive the car cross country with no worries, if she wanted Call 815-357-3292.

I think if you are looking at these, you know these were only built for 3 years, and you how special this car was, and this one has all the bells and whistles! The Baja is a capable performer on rough roads, and its open bed lends it a rugged, outdoorsy, active feel. Turbo is fast and fun. AWD performance is stellar, and the handling is easy and smooth. The Subaru Baja is, generally speaking, a car-based crew-cab pickup truck. Based on the 2000-2004 Subaru Outback, it shares the same 104.3-inch wheelbase, but is 6 inches longer in rear overhang. The Baja has seating accommodations for four full-size adults. But instead of a conventional trunk or the glassed-in storage box of a wagon, the Baja substitutes the cargo box of a pickup truck. Subaru figures that the Baja appeals to those wanting utility without the harsh ride and poor fuel economy that often come with a truck-based vehicle. Should you think that the Baja is just a remake of the El Camino, Subaru has added some features that make the cargo box even more useful. Most importantly, the Baja's cargo bed can be extended by using the "Switchback" feature, similar to the Midgate design found on the Avalanche. The front of the bed along with the rear seat back fold forward into the rear seating area, expanding the usable length of the bed from 41.5 to 60 inches. The Baja is relatively enjoyable to drive thanks to its responsive suspension and steering, acceleration is good with the turbocharged version of that engine, good for 210 hp. The Baja Turbo still isn't a performance car any more than it's suited for serious towing and hauling, but it is peppy in traffic. It's for those who frequent Home Depot as a hobby, picking up a new ficus and trellis instead of drywall and furniture. It's great at transporting bulky sports equipment, such as a surfboard or skis, but not necessarily great for moms picking up kids and the groceries during a rainstorm. The Subaru Baja is for for those who need about half the open-bed cargo utility of a truck as well as a vehicle that rides like a car, the Baja is a reasonable choice. Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options The Baja starts you out with 16-inch alloy wheels; fog lights; air conditioning; a CD player; cruise control; a moon roof; power windows, locks and mirrors; and keyless entry. Step up to the Baja Turbo and you get a more powerful turbocharged engine along with an upgraded six-speaker audio system with an in-dash CD changer. This model has the optional tubular bed extender. The Baja Turbo boasts a turbocharged version that produces 210 hp and 235 lb-ft of twist. A five-speed manual transmission is standard; a four-speed automatic is optional. All Subaru vehicles sold in the United States come with standard all-wheel drive, and the Baja is no exception. This Subaru can carry a maximum payload of 1,050 pounds, and has a 2,400-pound towing capacity. This is about half of what a typical compact pickup can pull, but it's enough to easily accommodate a personal watercraft or a couple of motorcycles. Safety The Subaru Baja comes standard with four-wheel antilock disc brakes and pre-tensioners and load limiters for the front seat belts. Interior Design and Special Features The Baja's cargo box is smaller than the beds of traditional compact pickups, but this car-based pickup does offer a handsome interior that scores high marks for style, comfort and ergonomics. Utility is maximized via the Switchback feature; to use, flip up the bottom cushion of the rear seat, fold the rear seat back forward and fold the trapdoor flat into the rear seat. The optional tailgate extender increases cargo bed length to 75 inches. Driving Impressions Those looking for a little excitement would be advised to check out the Baja Turbo model, which has ample power for just about any situation. The Subaru Baja has a fully independent suspension and rides much more like a car than a truck. It has a comfortable ride around town and never feels unstable when going around corners. Heavy-duty suspension components and 8.2 inches of ground clearance allow it to tackle rutted dirt roads and sandy washes without a problem.

Subaru details BRZ tS, stops short of full-on STI

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

Fans of the sweet-handling Subaru BRZ awaiting some performance enhancements got their hopes up earlier this month when parent Fuji Heavy Industries dropped some teasers hinting at an apparent STI version, but as was subsequently suspected, the model in question - now revealed in full - stops short of being a full-on STI model.
What we're looking at here is the new Subaru BRZ tS, which incorporates a series of enhancements but leaves the engine alone. Available exclusively in the Japanese Domestic Market, the BRZ tS package includes a thicker driveshaft, a front lip spoiler, Brembo ventilated brake discs packed inside 18-inch wheels and a smattering of STI logos inside and out. STI has also upgraded the suspension components, retuned the stability control and exhaust note and enhanced the interior with some carbon and Alcantara touches. An additional GT package includes further upgrades, most noticeably the giant rear wing (made of carbon fiber) shown above, black-painted alloys and Recaro bucket seats.
Only 500 examples of the BRZ tS will be offered in Japan, with no more than 250 of those outfitted with the supplementary GT package. Here's hoping Subaru gives us a taste on this side of the Pacific as well - or better yet, maybe they'll quit joking around and give us the full-on STI already.

Subaru previews rally-ready WRX STI for Global RallyCross

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

Subaru's long and distinguished history in the world of rallying is about to get another chapter, as it's set to field a team in the Global RallyCross Championship. The car? The all-new WRX STI.
Yes, Subaru will be fielding a GRC challenger, with drivers Bucky Lasek and Sverre Isachsen at the helm. This particular car was teased earlier this week, and is a preview of the eventual GRC model which will launch this fall. The race-ready STI boasts a custom widebody kit with a carbon-fiber rear wing. The roof scoop and the mirrors are also made of carbon fiber, while the wheels are provided by Method. As with all GRC contenders this year, the WRX STI is shod in Yokohama spec rubber. It's not clear what sort of engine sits under the scooped hood, although we imagine we'll find out before the season kicks off in a few months.
Perhaps even more exciting is word that Subaru will also prepare a version of the WRX STI for stage rallies, with Travis Pastrana and David Higgins fielding the new car in the Rally America Championship. That car should arrive later this year.

Automotive April Fools' joke roundup [w/videos]

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Happy April, everyone. And we all know what this first day of the month means: April Fools' Day. Today is a national holiday for pranksters with the Internet acting as a serious enabler, and it's always fun to see what kind of vivid imaginations exist out there in the automotive world. The abundance of fake news gets a little old as the day rolls on, but we did manage to get in a few chuckles thanks to a handful of major automakers and automotive news outlets that got into the pranking spirit this year
Some of our favorites this year includes Subaru showing what happens when you combine a bunch of rumors, a Corvette some may have already thought was a joke or Honda providing some in-car innovation circa the late 1980s. Honestly, we're still waiting for official confirmation from Mitsubishi that the recently introduced 2014 Mirage is an elaborate April Fools' joke using a failed design intended for the 1995 Geo Metro. We dug up as much "official" OEM foolishness we could find, as well as some of our other favorites, and posted them all below.
