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 mulling expanding Indiana plant for Forester, Impreza

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

Thanks to currency fluctuations and their impact on the bottom line, a growing number of Japanese automakers are starting to increase vehicle production in the US, and it appears Subaru could be the next to do so. According to Bloomberg, Subaru is looking into expanding production capacity at its Lafayette, Indiana assembly plant, which currently builds the Outback, Legacy and Tribeca as well as the Toyota Camry.
Subaru's Indiana plant currently has an annual maximum capacity of 310,000 units, but the automaker is expecting to far exceed that figure this year, with year-to-date sales of 299,788 units through November (not including Camry) - an increase of almost 30 percent over 2011. The report indicates that Subaru could expand the plant to add as many 50,000 additional units to the plant, likely in the form of either the Forester or Impreza.

Subaru recalling 32K Imprezas for potential airbag fault

Wed, Jul 15 2015

Following a preliminary evaluation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in April 2015, Subaru is recalling 32,400 examples of the 2012 Impreza sedan and hatchback to repair the Occupant Detection System. The affected vehicles have production dates between April 21, 2011, and February 16, 2012. However, the WRX and STI are excluded from this campaign because they use a different part. The Impreza's problem concerns the front passenger seat's Occupant Detection System. In these models, the part uses capacitance to determine if someone is present and activates the airbag. According to the documents submitted to NHTSA (as a PDF), if the person sitting there uses a device plugged into the accessory outlet or touches an electrically grounded part like the metal seat adjuster, the ODS recognizes an increase in capacitance. It can then deactivate the airbag. Obviously, this could be a hazard in a crash, but there would be a warning light showing the safety device as off. To solve the problem, dealers will install a modified Occupant Control Unit. The initial investigation was prompted after 26 complaints to NHTSA about the ODS not working properly. In 2012, Subaru also issued a technical service bulletin that attempted to repair the issue.

SUMMARY: Subaru of America, Inc. (Subaru) is recalling certain 2012 model year Subaru Impreza 4-Door and Station Wagon vehicles (except WRX/STI models) manufactured April 21, 2011, to February 16, 2012. In the affected vehicles, the Occupant Detection System (ODS) may deactivate if a front seat passenger operates a device that is plugged into the power outlet such as a music player or cell phone, or touches a metal part of the vehicle such as the forward/rearward seat adjuster lever. CONSEQUENCE: If the ODS deactivates, the front passenger air bag will be turned off and the front passenger air bag will not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant. REMEDY: Subaru will notify owners, and dealers will replace the Occupant Control Unit with a modified one, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.

Subaru Cross Sport Design Concept is a BRZ with a backpack

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Sports cars are a notoriously tough sell over the long-term. Like convertibles, sales of even the best sports cars tend to be front-loaded in the first couple of years, at which point they drop off like a stone. That may serve to explain this mysterious two-door wagonback concept from Subaru, dubbed Cross Sport Design Concept.
While details aren't exactly thick on the ground, at first blush, this appears to be a higher-riding BRZ with a more utilitarian backpack. Reports suggest the rear-wheel-drive sports coupe's chassis is riding underneath, despite the fact that the Cross Sport is 2.6 inches longer overall. Assuming the chassis itself is basically unmodified and the 2.0-liter, flat, four-cylinder engine is untouched, this could be a very effective way for Subaru to increase its return on investment in the BRZ's underpinnings while generating a very cool (if niche) shooting brake model.
With the exception of a few bits of concept car frosting (wood-lined cargo bay floor, overly-detailed steroscopic camera mounts, slivered side mirrors, etc.), this thing looks production ready, and that's just ducky with us.
