The 2005 Subaru Baja: before you buy
No 2005 Subaru Baja is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Buying the 2005 Subaru Baja is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Recalls and complaints
Owners filed 37 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, fuel system and fuel/propulsion system; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the specs mean
It is powered by the 2.5L 4-cylinder, with all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
Its combined rating is 11.2 L/100 km, which means roughly 34 litres for 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $17.36 in fuel at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles.
When the Baja makes sense
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
Size and space
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
Rent it for a week first
If the Baja is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Drive the Baja on your commute before you commit to it. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Choosing the right one
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.36 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
