Swiss Army knife of cars!

This a great car that does alot of things well. Never let me down. Use it as daily driver and weekend getaway car. We go kayaking alot and hiking. Gets us where we want to go in all weather conditions. More importantly, gets us home safe all the time. Too bad that Subaru discontinued the Baja. I wish I could get a new one.

Best car I've owned

Great for those not looking for a big truck but useable truck bed. Plus back fold down allowing you to extend and put in lumber up to 12 feet.
