Replying to: rsholland (Oct 21, 2008 7:15 am) When the Baja was launched they made heated leather and a moonroof standard - things that eroded whatever value proposition Subaru may have had. It was the smallest pickup in the market, but didn't come with the smallest price. They sold only a few, but resale values were actually strong, plus they did well in JD Power's APEAL study, so owners did really like them. I also thought that making it a 4 seater with a relatively low payload rating was a mistake. So, lessons learned, the next one should offer: * 5 seats (if it's a crew cab) * more space inside and out * a base model with the base pricing that comes with it * more payload - beef it up! * a longer wheelbase and bed, and a real mid-gate To be honest I doubt Subaru will build a next one. |

I have a question for Baja and SVX owners: do you find it hard to get parts? The reason I ask is that I am looking at buying a Tribeca and looking at the sales figures I’m not too sanguine about its future. I’ve owned two vehicles in my life that turned out to be not very accepted by the masses and parts became an issue. Especially since I tend to hold on to my cars for a decade or more. TIA!

Replying to: finhawk (Nov 15, 2008 9:24 pm) The great thing about the subies is that on the newer cars, 90% of the stuff is overlapping with at least 1 if not 2 other models. So parts are easy to interchange. -mike |

I live in Hawaii on the Big Island. I have just started to notice a sloshing noise in what seems my door panels. And as like all the other post after driving it around the noise is gone, I guess the water has drained out. Today I thought I'll look under the car and noticed some plugs under the door panels. After moving these plugs around some water just drained out of them. Does anyone know why these plugs are there and can they just be removed with out any problems?

I have been researching a purchase of a 2006 Baja and have looked at several of them on dealers lots. I noted that some of them have a "whip" antenna above the drivers door while others have a stubby rubber antenna center/rear of the roof. Can anyone explain why the same model-year would have 2 different antenna locaitons? Are there other less-visible differences with the 2006 model-year?

Replying to: bpeebles (Mar 30, 2009 6:09 pm) The whip antenna above drivers-door is on model with normally-asperated engine. The stubby rubber antenna center/rear of the roof signifies turbocharged engine. |
