Overall I am pleased with the Baja so far, though I know there will be times when it won't be able to haul what I want to carry. But I am figuring that 90% of the time it will be just fine. Overall I think it will be an excellent compromise between comfort, security, safety and utility for me. Too bad that more car buyers didn't see it as such.

Thomas had one with good options - bed extender and mud flaps - and they were advertising it at ~$500 over invoice with their non-negotiable pricing. After telling them about John Howard's at invoice price, their non-negotiable offer went down to $100 over invoice and I took it. They were fine to work with although I thought it was strange that they wanted to videotape the business office proceedings (!?) - never heard of that one before.
I am expecting that I will be pleased with it - I bought three other new Subarus during the '80s and '90s - my first new car was a 1982 1800 GL Hatchback - and they were all highly-satisfying purchases.
If I might, please allow me to ask a quick question - does Subaru still use that crushable oil drain plug washer that needs to be replaced with every change? If so, I need to get me a handful. Good Subaruing to you.
One thing I noticed with that dealer, and this may be true of many rural Subie dealers, is that they had far more "practical" Subies on the lot. I didn't seeing any models with turbos in stock. I thought that to be rather strange, but considering the customer base, the tough winters and terrain out there, perhaps not. I think their big seller is the base Forester X. They also sell a lot of H4 Outbacks.

Even Bajas are not uncommon here - I saw two on my 7 mile drive to work yesterday. But rarely have I ever seen a turbo Baja locally.

What issues should I look out for? I've read the posts from the folks with the engine noises and failures and was wondering if that is an inherent problem with the Baja, or all Subarus. Thanks
